Chapter 51: You Really Can Do Whatever You Want When You’re Rich
The moment Hailey Paige saw Zane Langdon walking over, she immediately went up to him and called out warmly, "Zane!"
Zane Langdon offered a polite smile in response, his attitude deliberately distant.
Hailey Paige looked a little disappointed.
"Hailey Paige! Where’s your mark? What are you still doing standing there?" Director Wallace shouted.
Only then did Hailey Paige reluctantly shuffle to her position.
"Ready, action!"
Hailey Paige’s character, Anya Hale, hurried over and grabbed the arm of Holly Summers, played by Raymond Ford. "Sis, don’t get into a fight with her. She’s a lady of the Langdon Family. We can’t afford to provoke her."
"Good, you know your place!"
"Who are you calling ’sis’? Let go!"
"AHH!" Hailey Paige suddenly fell backward.
Zane Langdon was about to step forward when he suddenly saw a body falling straight toward him. He instinctively reached out to catch her. Just as she had hoped, Hailey Paige fell right into Zane Langdon’s arms!
At this, both Raymond Ford and Rhona Hughes stared wide-eyed, completely at a loss for how to continue the scene.
Zane Langdon tried to let go, but Hailey Paige suddenly grabbed his hand. "Zane, thank you."
’Disgusting!’
Raymond Ford and Rhona Hughes nearly cursed out loud!
In the script, Hailey Paige was supposed to fall to the ground and hurt her arm on a nearby table, but instead of hitting the table, she threw herself at Zane Langdon!
’Unbelievable! I’ve seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!’
Zane Langdon pushed Hailey Paige away, the polite smile vanishing from his face. He reminded her in a low voice, "That’s not in the script."
"Zane, then how should I act?" Hailey Paige asked, looking at Zane Langdon with an expectant expression.
"Hailey Paige! Do you even want to act in this or not?!" Director Wallace demanded furiously.
"Of course I want to act! Add another fifty million to the investment! I want to fall into Zane Langdon’s arms!"
Melody Monroe stared blankly at Hailey Paige. ’What kind of bizarre power play is this?’
’Money really can buy you anything!’
Zane Langdon’s face was ashen. He turned and walked away, making his stance clear through his actions.
"Hailey Paige, have you no shame? Adding scenes for yourself like this, aren’t you afraid you’ll be a laughingstock when word gets out?" Rhona Hughes demanded.
"Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to criticize me?"
"Please, for the love of God, stop!" Ryan Miller rushed forward and grabbed Hailey Paige. "Zane Langdon, Director Wallace, I’m so sorry, so sorry."
Hailey Paige shook Ryan Miller off and pressed Director Wallace, "Name your price. How much to change the script? If fifty million isn’t enough, how about a hundred million? Add a love scene for me and Zane Langdon, and it has to have a kiss!"
Hailey Paige really wouldn’t rest until she said something completely outrageous!
Director Wallace’s lips were turning purple with rage as he glared at Hailey Paige.
"Does a kept mistress have the right to be this arrogant?" someone in the crowd muttered under their breath.
Hailey Paige heard this and instantly blew up. "Who did you say is being kept? Who said that? If you’ve got the guts, step forward and say it to my face!"
"And what if... we don’t add the scene for you?" a voice suddenly cut in, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
Jasper Rockwell stepped forward, coming to a stop beside Zane Langdon. He had a lollipop in his mouth and a devil-may-care attitude.
"And who are you? Even Director Wallace hasn’t said anything. What makes you think you can butt in?" Hailey Paige shot back.
"You don’t have the right to know who I am. Just answer my question."
"If you don’t add the scene, I’ll have my mom pull her investment!"
’So Hailey Paige is one of those rich kids!’
’No wonder she’s so domineering and arrogant.’
She joined this production just to chase a star. She was a fan of Zane Langdon—a crazy, obsessed fan!
