There were only two badminton courts in the huge arena.


    Only five of them were there.


    When Eliza spoke, the shuttlecocks of both courts just happened to fall on the ground. Although she had lowered her voice, her words still reached every corner.


    Catherine and Freya did not think there was anything wrong with it.


    However, Eliza''s boss was still present...


    The few people looked toward Chester in unison.


    After the corners of Chester''s lips raised into a sarcastic smile, he bent over and picked up the shuttlecock on the ground.


    "Come, let''s continue ying." Shaun strangely felt nervous.


    On the other hand, Shedrick was exasperated due to Eliza''s arrogant words." Eliza, don''t you think you have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities? Even the best actors aren''t as arrogant as you. Although Director Lawrence hasn''t filmed many movies, he has still filmed a considerable number of them. He has wide connections and knows many people. If you continue being ignorant, getting offers for roles in the industry won''t be as easy after offending him."


    "Anyway, I''m not interested. Haven''t you guys decided on making Cindy famous? Just let her take the female lead role." "Eliza, the contract for the movie was signed before your contract with thepany was terminated. If you refuse to film, you''ll have to pay the damages for breach of contract yourself," Shedrick said furiously.


    "President Daley, Director Lawrence had eagerly terminated my contract during the few days I was in trouble. I did sign the contract, but him returning the money to you is your problem. It has nothing to do with me. You guys can settle that debt on your own. Don''t involve me."


    Eliza hung up the call decisively.


    Freya and Catherine were tactful and did not ask further. After all, walls had ears.


    While Eliza took Catherine''s position, Chester''s phone rang. He gave his racket to Catherine and let her and Shaun y against each other.


    Chester held the phone and picked up Shedrick''s call.


    On the other end of the call, Shedrickined angrily, "Chester, I don''t know what tricks Eliza''s ying. She actually refused to film Director Lawrence''s drama. She even said that kind of drama isn''t worthy of her..."


    "I heard," Chester said indifferently. "We''re ying badminton in the arena."


    Shedrick was shocked. "So you two made up?"


    "No, we bumped into each other."


    Shedrick sighed. "I think that she''s refusing to film because Cindy is the second female lead. Actually, I don''t think it''s a good choice to have Cindy as the second female lead. She isn''t on good terms with Eliza. However, Cindy insists on taking on that drama. Why don''t you try convincing her?"


    Chester nced at Eliza, who was not far away. He remembered the haughty way she spoke just now andughed coldly all of a sudden. "Thepany isn''t Eliza''s. I can do whatever I want. What right does she have to make thepany amodate her?"


    He deliberately raised his voice so that Eliza could listen to what he said.


    Eliza raised her eyebrows subtly.


    Shedrick, who was on the call, did not know about their silent war. "But she''s signed a new contract with us. We can''t control her in many aspects anymore."


    "Let her continue being arrogant. If she''s capable, she might as well stop being involved in this industry," Chester said loudly. "She really thinks she''s something just because she has other people


    supporting her. The film director isn''t a fool. Women in the entertainment industry are just here while they''re still young. There''s no use regretting it after missing out on those few years."


    Shedrick thought he had a point there.


    Eliza would not be that dumb unless she did not want to stay in the entertainment industry.


    She tried so hard to clear her name. She surely did that to earn more money in the entertainment industry.


    She was most likely gambling with herself.


    "Alright, I''m going to continue ying."


    Chester ended the call.


    Catherine and Shaun were still ying badminton, so he sat at the side and drank


    water.


    The resting area was situated in the middle of the two courts. When Chester raised his head, he could see Eliza standing before him and ying badminton.
