Chapter 38

Arthur looked at Caroline with satisfaction, then turned to Manuel with a stern face. "That's right, I'm her biological father. How could I harm her? Go back and tell her not to think about getting the shares back. I'll manage them for her first."

Manuel sneered. "Mr. Spencer, you are truly a contradictory person. If you really consider Miss Spencer your daughter, why did you send your wife's nephew to capture her? Fortunately, Miss Spencer was smart enough not to let them succeed."

At this point, Manuel turned to Caroline. "Mrs. Spencer, Derek's men have been arrested and taken to jail, while Derek himself is currently at Evergreen Hospital. Due to his serious injuries, he can't be detained in a cell just yet. I wonder if he has any children, as he might not be able to have any in the future."

Caroline was so shocked that the knife and fork in her hand fell to the ground.

"What are you talking about? He called me last night and was fine. How did he end up in the hospital?"

Manuel gave a cold smile. "So you do know what Derek did."

He took out his phone and played the audio recording Zoey had made in the warehouse for them.

The faces of Arthur and his family changed drastically.

Manuel took out the contract. "Mr. Spencer, please sign this so Miss Spencer can legally inherit fifty percent of the shares. Otherwise, within half a day, the news of you and Mrs. Spencer persecuting Miss Spencer will spread all over the internet."

"I've only played the audio for you. There's also a video that I haven't shown yet. Miss Spencer doesn't mind the company's assets shrinking, but I think you do, don't you?"

Arthur clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging in anger. "Does she really think she can walk away unscathed if I, as her father, lose face?"

Manuel responded coolly, "If Miss Spencer cared, she wouldn't have sent me to find you."

In the end, Arthur had no choice but to sign the contract reluctantly. Otherwise, not only would he lose face, but the police would also come knocking.

Manuel took the contract and immediately called Zoey to tell her the matter was settled.

Zoey smiled with satisfaction.

An hour later, the director of the production crew called Zoey. "Ms. Cavendish, how's your cold?"

"It's better now. Have you found the lead actress?"

When Zoey received Beckett's call, she knew he must have found the lead actress.

Sure enough, Beckett said, "Yes, we found her. Her name is Victoria Lynn. Although she's not as well-known as Natalie, she fits the role's image better. Do you have time to come and see her today? If you think she's not suitable, we can find another actress."

Zoey wasn't familiar with Victoria, but she trusted Beckett's eye for casting.

After all, he was an award-winning director with a knack for matching actors to roles.

"No need for that. I'm just a music supervisor. How could I be better at judging people than you? I have time today, so I'll come to the set later."

Hearing Zoey's words, Beckett finally felt relieved.

"Claire, pack up. We're going to the set now. Beckett has found a replacement actress." Zoey hung up the phone and called out to Claire.

Claire, changing clothes, prayed. "I hope this time we don't get someone who causes trouble."

Zoey smiled. "We won't, unless Beckett wants to replace himself."

Fifteen minutes later, they drove to the set.

This time, the crew was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Zoey.

"Ms. Cavendish, are you really over your cold? Don't push yourself if you're not feeling well. Your health is the most important thing."

"Ms. Cavendish, here's some freshly brewed coffee. I heard you only like black coffee, so I didn't add any sugar."

"Ms. Cavendish, you look even more beautiful after just two days. If you became a star, you'd definitely be the most popular one."

Not only was Zoey warmly received, but even Claire was greeted enthusiastically by the crew, and no one dared to ask her to help with props anymore.

Beckett, smiling broadly, introduced the actress to Zoey. "Ms. Cavendish, this is the new actress I found, Victoria. She debuted last year, so she's relatively new, but her acting skills are quite good."

Zoey looked at the actress in front of her, who, although not as beautiful as Natalie, clearly fit the role. She knew Beckett had made the right choice.

Victoria smiled and extended her hand. "Ms. Cavendish, it's an honor to work with you."

Seeing her cheerful and straightforward smile, Zoey also smiled and shook her hand.

Without Natalie, the atmosphere on set improved significantly, and Zoey felt much better.

Caroline and Catherine arrived at the hospital and saw Derek lying in bed.

"Aunt Caroline, that bitch Zoey ruined me. You have to avenge me."

Seeing Derek's miserable state, Caroline's face turned blue with anger.

Especially thinking about the shares they had  given up today, she felt like her heart broken.

"Don't worry, I won't let that bitch off." Caroline's eyes glinted with a chilling malice.

Zoey was busy on set until almost ten o'clock. By the time she and Claire got home, it was nearly eleven.

Both were exhausted.

As they were opening the door, the door of the neighbor's suddenly opened.

Hearing the sound, Zoey instinctively turned her head and was stunned to see Henry standing at the door.

'Am I so tired from work today that I start hallucinating?' She thought.

"Mr. Windsor, what are you doing here?"

She rubbed her eyes and saw Henry still standing there, confirming that her eyes were fine.

Henry, dressed in a beige casual outfit, with a rare smile on his usually stern face, slowly walked over to the stunned Zoey. "Zoey, from today on, we're neighbors."

Zoey's eyes widened. "When did you buy the apartment across the hall?"

"Not long ago."

Seeing her surprised face, Henry wanted to pinch her cheek.

"Mr. Windsor, why would you leave your big estate to live in an apartment?" Zoey was genuinely puzzled.

Henry couldn't resist any longer and reached out to ruffle her hair. The warmth from his fingertips spread through Zoey's body, his voice magnetic and enticing. "Think about it yourself. It's late. You should rest. We'll talk tomorrow."

With that, he let go of her and turned back to his apartment.

Zoey was in such a daze that she didn't even know how she got inside until Claire excitedly patted her shoulder. "Zoey, Mr. Windsor moved here for you. His feelings are so obvious. What are you hesitating for?"
