Although Avery felt a little guilty, he still spoke with confidence. “This is also for work. It can be considered the beginning of your fame. It is already very risky to adapt a comic into a movie. Once the role selection is done, it might be half successful.”

In his opinion, this was just an insignificant matter, so he did not think that he needed to explain to her that he did it for Andrew.

Darlene was so angry that she almost couldn’t breathe. “Vivian has no acting skills and only knows how to pretend to be weak and tender. How can she play the female lead ‘Angela‘, who comes from a poor background?

“Avery, are you crazy? Do you really think that Vivian is worthy of acting as Angela?”

Vivian interrupted in a low voice from the side, “Avery, since Ms. Garcia does not like me, I…”

Avery really did not like Darlene challenging him like this. When she composed this comic, she was only ten and nine years old.

Although it was really popular, and there were many fans, if she did not have enough capital to operate, she could never make it a film.

Not to mention that the comic had already been three years. Maybe the popularity had already faded.

Vivian was one of the most popular stars and she had the Gallard Group behind her back. The film would go viral no matter if the cartoonist was Darlene or not.

Thinking of this, Avery said coldly, “Darlene, don’t be ungrateful. If Vivian’s acting is not good, how can she become famous?

“Aleena is a Z–list actress. No famous male actor would be willing to act with her.”

Darlene was so angry. If she had known Avery would turn out like this, she would not have given the copyright to him.

“Avery, you know very well whether my comic is worth it or not. Otherwise, why did you suddenly want to make it a movie after three years?

“Two months ago, you had the writers customize a lead role for Vivian. It took her

appearance in this role to gain a lot of popularity. Before that, did anyone know who she

was?”

Vivian secretly glared at Darlene.

Avery frowned and said, “She played that role perfectly. There’s no need to say more. This matter is decided.”

Darlene didn’t want to argue with him. Avery was right. Vivian was a goody–two–shoes. That character was indeed very perfect for her.

Darlene angrily said, “Back then, when an investor offered a price of 1.7 million dollars to buy my comic’s copyrights, it was you who promised that others would not take it

seriously.

“So I gave the copyrights to the Gallard Group. I thought I could get some money out of it, participate in the production of the film, and choose the actors I want.”

Darlene wanted to slap herself a few times. She regretted that she didn’t recognize how hateful Avery was back then. She really shouldn’t have trusted him.

She had given him everything she had, including all of the shares that Teresa had given

her.

She had worked so hard to create a comic for two years, but she also gave its copyright to Avery without hesitation.

She had treated him wholeheartedly for so many years, but in the end, she only found

him disgusting.

Avery also felt a little guilty, and his tone softened a little. “Alright, I was just discussing with you. Don’t always be so aggressive when you speak.

“Don’t you still think it’s a pity that you didn’t take the 1.7 million dollars from that investor back then? I’ll ask Markus to transfer the money to you later. Besides, we are

married now. My money is yours.”

Darlene took out her phone. “Okay, transfer it now. When I get the 1.7 million dollars, I’ll pretend that nothing happened. It’s up to you to whoever you want to choose. You can do whatever you want. I won’t

go to the cinema to see it.”

Avery did not expect Darlene to ask for money.

He would not really let her have too much money. Now, he had nothing to control her. If

he let her have enough money, she would find an opportunity to escape.

Seeing that Avery was silent, Darlene mocked, “You are the CEO of the Gallard Group. Don’t tell me you can’t even take out 1.7 million dollars? Is the Gallard Group going out

of business?

“Wait. Does your film company not have the money to buy scripts? That’s why you wanted my comic in the first place, right? I gave it to you for free. If you don’t want to pay now, I can find another buyer.”

Avery’s expression turned gloomy. “Find another buyer? Nathen or Gustave? Darlene,

you’re my wife now. Watch your mouth.”

Darlene became angry and retorted coldly, “So what? At least no matter who I sell it to,

they will not be as shameless as you.”

When Avery thought of Nathen’s car accident last night and Darlene’s protection of

Nathen, his mood quickly became bad.

He was in a bad mood and deliberately used Vivian to provoke Darlene. “Darlene, stop

now before you go too far. Vivian has already agreed to quit and let you be with me. You should be grateful.

“No matter what, you get me from her, but now she is still willing to act as the female lead of your comic. Don’t be too aggressive. You should know that if not for Vivian being forced to go abroad two years ago, you wouldn’t have had the chance to be with me.”

When he said this, he was arrogant.

Darlene didn’t want to say anything. The contract had already been signed back then. Now it was too late for her to get back the copyright.

However, it was her own painstaking efforts that had been ruined like this. She felt

distressed.

However, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she did not want to show it in front of Avery and Vivian. She got off the bed and walked out.

When Vivian saw that she was about to leave, Vivian immediately chased after her. “Ms. Garcia, don’t be like this. I know that you don’t like me. If you don’t want to, I won’t act.

“But I really like your comic. I can play a small supporting role. I don’t mind.”

Darlene stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Vivian. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have goody– two–shoes in my comic. Why don’t you ask Avery to add one for you in the script? He’s familiar with it anyway.”

Avery got up and said impatiently, “Enough, Darlene. Don’t go too far. It’s settled. The female lead will be Vivian. Go back and adapt the comic into a script. The shooting can

start earlier.”

Darlene looked at him in silence for two seconds and said, “Don’t even think about it.”

She really couldn’t stay here any longer and was about to leave the ward.

Vivian looked extremely guilty. She reached out and grabbed Darlene’s arm. “Ms. Garcia, it’s all my fault. I won’t act in the movie. Can you guys stop arguing because of

me?”

“Let go,” Darlene said impatiently.

Vivian tightened her grip. “Ms. Garcia, the test results are not out yet. You have to stay in the hospital and cannot leave.”

Darlene looked at her. “Let go.”

Avery saw that Darlene was in a bad mood and was about to ask Vivian to let Darlene go out to calm herself down.

Before he could say it, Darlene had already forcefully pulled her hand out.

Vivian staggered, her head knocking against the door and heavily smashing onto the

ground.

The wound on her foot was scraped, and blood immediately flowed out.

Darlene didn’t even want to look at her. Just as Darlene was about to leave, Avery

stopped her with a gloomy face. “I wanted to discuss it nicely with you. Don’t push your luck. It’s your fault to hit her.”

Darlene sneered, “If you didn’t see…‘ This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Before she could finish her sentence, Avery had already raised his hand with an extremely gloomy expression.

Darlene was not in a hurry to dodge. She looked at him with a normal expression. “You want to slap me? Even if you put a knife on my neck, from now on, don’t expect me to apologize to you and Vivian.

“Avery, the matter of my younger brother’s death is not over yet. If the police can’t find out, sooner or later, I will make Vivian pay with her life for Nigel’s death.”

Avery raised a hand into the air and frowned. In the end, he did not slap Darlene’s face.

Darlene turned around and left.

Vivian stood in front of Avery and hurriedly explained, “Avery, what does Ms. Garcia mean by this? I have never done what Mr. Walpole said before. As for Nigel’s death, why did Ms. Garcia also say that it was my fault?”

Avery was not in the mood to respond to Vivian. He coldly said, “Get out of the way.”

He did not care what else Vivian said and quickly followed Darlene in front of him.

On the way back, no matter what Avery said, Darlene did not reply to him.

Avery was annoyed in his heart, but it was true that he had gone back on his word.

When they arrived at Southwood Villa, Darlene went upstairs and entered the bedroom to start rummaging through the cabinets.

Avery stood at the side and looked at her in confusion. “What are you doing? Are you going to destroy our home?”

He saw Darlene quietly take out all the things in the drawers in the cabinets and throw them on the ground. He reminded her, “Take it easy. They are all your own things. If you break them, you will regret it.”

Darlene searched for a long time and finally found the script.

years ago, after she signed the contract and gave the copyright to the Gallard Group, she spent nearly half a year adapting the comic into a script.

When the script was done and the filming was about to start, Avery had a car accident.

It had been three years until now.
