Aria lowered her head slightly and murmured, "It was Silas Chambers."
"Director Chambers?" Maxwell's expression shifted. "Which Director Chambers?"
Aria didn't answer, but Maxwell already had a sinking suspicion.
Undoubtedly, it was the project he had handed to her on a silver platter.
A major supporting role in a blockbuster movie.
If not for his personal guarantee, she wouldn't have even landed an audition, let alone the second lead.
Silas Chambers was notoriously strict, dedicated only to the craft of filmmaking, and completely indifferent to an actor's fame. He had launched the careers of countless unknown actors and even total rookies.
Because of this, Silas held immense prestige in the industry. Even with Maxwell's iron grip on the Metropolis business world, Silas was not someone he wanted to make an enemy of.
Maxwell opened his mouth, hesitating a few times before finally asking, "What exactly happened?"
This was no longer just about defending Aria's honor.
It was about whether his massive investment in this film was about to go up in flames.
Aria pouted and whispered, "I was just having an off day and needed a few extra takes on a scene. He started screaming at me... I really didn't do it on purpose. He was being so vicious, I just ran away."
She just ran away?
Something felt incredibly wrong to Maxwell.
Right at that moment, his phone rang.
Maxwell pulled it out, freezing slightly when he saw Silas Chambers' name flashing on the screen.
Aria, standing right beside him, instantly saw the caller ID as well.
