Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 643: 207: All sorts of cats and dogs dare to appear in front of him! (Second update)

Before making this decision, Barbara Will had thought of many ways to commit suicide.

The first method was to use charcoal burning.

Because it was said online that charcoal burning suicide was not very painful.

However, burning charcoal would definitely affect the hotel’s business, and she couldn’t let her death harm an innocent hotel owner.

She also thought of getting hit by a car, but that would surely harm an innocent driver.

Even jumping off a building could affect innocent bystanders.

So.

After much thought, Barbara decided to die in a cemetery, the closest place to her daughter.

That way, no one would be implicated because of her death.

The police officer held the suicide note with reddened eyes.

She was a great mother.

Ling hurriedly ran over from the other side, “Gehret, what’s going on?”

“Ling, look at this.” Gehret handed the suicide note to Ling.

Ling took the note and frowned slightly, “Mrs. Will?!”

She never imagined that Barbara would go this far.

This poor and great mother.

Ling informed Viola Thompson of the situation.

Upon reading the news, Viola felt overwhelmed and heavy-hearted. She accompanied a bread dog named Baozi to the funeral home to bid Barbara farewell.

Baozi had a small teddy bear toy in its mouth.

It was a gift from Olivia Cooper.

Baozi seemed to know something and whined softly.

Because of Barbara’s mother’s desperate search for her daughter, and the subsequent local news coverage on Olivia’s case, many people came to the funeral home to pay their respects.

Everyone sympathized with the poor mother.

Some people sharply criticized Montague’s cold-bloodedness.

He divorced and remarried Barbara less than a year after his daughter was abducted. He didn’t even show up at his daughter’s memorial ceremony and remained indifferent to his wife’s death.

He doesn’t deserve the title of a father!

Ling looked at Viola and continued, “We have contacted Mrs. Will’s family, and they have decided to honor her wishes by donating her body to a medical school.”

Although the body of someone who committed suicide by poisoning cannot be used for organ donation, it can be used as a ‘chief teacher’ for medical students to perform dissections and experiments.

At that moment, cries pierced through the crowd.

“Yan, Yan, how could you have been so desperate!”

“My poor little sister!”

It was Barbara’s brother and sister-in-law.

They wept bitterly.

Martin Lee and his wife, Dalton Tavas, brought their son to the funeral, observing their hometown customs to see Barbara off.

Barbara had been very good to them during her lifetime. Therefore, it was only natural that they should take care of her funeral.

As Viola left the funeral home, she felt a little suffocated.

Baozi seemed to sense her mood, and gently nuzzled her hand.

Viola lowered her gaze, patting Baozi on the head.

As Viola walked Baozi past the square.

Baozi suddenly stopped and refused to go any further. It turned its head towards the center of the square.

“Woof!”

It barked once at Viola, then slipped its leash and bolted for the square.

“Baozi!”

Viola chased after it.

Baozi ran straight to the statue in the middle of the square and stopped, barking once more. It seemed convinced that by doing so, it would find Olivia.

Because every time Baozi played hide-and-seek with Olivia, Olivia would step out from her hiding spot, laugh, and pat Baozi on the head, “Baozi, I’m here.”

But today. freewebnøvel.coɱ

No matter how much Baozi barked, Olivia was nowhere to be seen.

Baozi whined anxiously several times, circling around Viola.

“Baozi,” Viola crouched down, hugging Baozi, “Listen to me: Olivia has gone very far away, and she might never come back.”

“Whine…” Baozi whimpered and tilted its head, looking at Viola.

“Good boy,” Viola continued, “Let’s go home.”

Baozi picked up the teddy bear that had fallen to the ground and followed Viola’s steps. But with every step it took, it would look back at the square.

On the other side.

Edward Thompson successfully sold three houses.

He got a total of 60 million in cash.

As soon as he got the money, Edward immediately set up his own studio.

The day the studio was founded, Sylvia Thompson offered the first bouquet of flowers.

“Brother, congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

Edward took the flowers with a smile.

He was full of confidence in the future.

He believed that his acting career could reach greater heights, and create a brilliance that everyone else could only look up to.

There were about a hundred people in Edward Thompson’s studio.At present, there are no signed artists.

On the first day of the studio’s establishment, a director approached Edward Thompson, wanting to invite him to be the male lead.

Hearing that, Edward Thompson looked at the assistant and asked, “Which director’s work is it?”

The junior assistant stammered, “It’s, it’s Director Lu’s.”

“Director Lu?” Edward Thompson’s eyes widened.

Director Lu is a famous director ranked alongside Director Ming.

He didn’t expect that on the first day his new studio’s opening, he would attract Director Lu. This was a good start for Edward Thompson.

He knew that with his fame and acting skills, he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking projects.

It was Director Ming’s loss to reject him.

Just wait for “Bright Moon” to flop then!

It seems that Director Lu has a long-term vision.

With this in mind, Edward Thompson felt extremely delighted.

The little assistant continued, “It’s Director Lu Yuan.”

“Lu Yuan?” Edward Thompson furrowed his brows slightly.

Director Lu’s full name is Christoph.

Who is Lu Yuan?

The little assistant nodded.

“What kind of production? Who is the female lead?” Edward Thompson asked.

“It’s, it’s an online drama. I don’t know who the female lead is.” The little assistant’s voice was very low.

Actually, the female lead was an unknown, eighteenth-tier actress, but the little assistant didn’t dare say it.

As soon as she finished speaking, the little assistant continued, “Emperor Thompson, although it’s an online drama, Director Lu has a good reputation. If…”

Her words were cut off abruptly by Edward Thompson, “Tell him to get lost as far as he can!”

An online drama?

A lousy online drama dared to come looking for him!

Who did they think he was?

A great actor with more than sixty million fans.

Every piece of work he participated in was a classic.

He didn’t even give many big productions a second glance when they asked him to be in them.

Edward Thompson felt his dignity had been insulted.

Now it seemed that anyone could come looking for him!

Although he was down on his luck, he hadn’t fallen so far as to stoop to acting in online dramas.

How disgusting.

“All right.” The little assistant immediately ran out the door.

Edward Thompson clenched his temple with anger, his face pale.

Lu Yuan had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Seeing the little assistant come out, Lu Yuan politely asked, “Hello, what did Emperor Thompson say?”

The little assistant replied, “Director Lu, I’m sorry, you should go back.”

A very tactful rejection.

Lu Yuan smiled, “Then, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Although Lu Yuan was not famous and his current work was only a low-budget online drama, it currently had a score of 8.9 on Douban, receiving countless positive reviews and being praised by netizens as one of the most promising directors.

He had even won awards, and his online drama’s viewership exceeded that of big directors’ TV series airing at the same time on major networks.

He was only one step away from becoming famous.

It had taken him a long time to decide to approach Edward Thompson to play the male lead.

Although Edward Thompson’s reputation was not good at the moment and even faced boycotts from many people, causing various well-known brands to terminate their contracts with him, he was once an actor with excellent performance skills. Lu Yuan believed that as long as they did not change the story too much and held a tight grip on the script, combined with Edward Thompson’s fame, they could achieve great results.

Unfortunately, Edward Thompson refused him.

In the office.

Edward Thompson angrily threw a file at the assistant, “Little Sun! You’ve been with me for so long! Why do you still have no discernment?!”

Now even a small director of a low-budget online drama dared to come looking for him!

If this continued, wouldn’t any riff-raff dare to approach him?

“Emperor Thompson, I am sorry.” The little assistant bowed her head, trembling with fear.

“Get out!” Edward Thompson shouted angrily.

The little assistant hurriedly left the office.

Outside the office.

Sylvia Thompson looked at James who had come to find her and frowned, “How did you get in?”

“I’m out of money. Give me another hundred thousand!” James said righteously.

“I have no money!” Sylvia Thompson’s face turned pale.

She thought that after giving James money once, he would leave her alone for a while, but she did not expect him to come to her again so soon.

James said, “No money, huh? Then I’ll go to your actor brother and see if he has any.”

Sylvia Thompson looked at James, narrowing her eyes, and a flicker of light flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she took a deep breath and said, “Give me your Paypal account, I’ll transfer twenty thousand to you first. I only have twenty thousand now.”

“All right,”James nodded, “I’ll come back tomorrow.”

In any case, he now knew Sylvia Thompson’s address.

He could find her anytime he wanted.

After transferring twenty thousand to James, Sylvia Thompson went to the bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She clenched her teeth, and with all her might, she slapped herself.

Crack!

Soon, a red and swollen handprint appeared on her face.
