Chapter 69 Daniel Drives Into Scarlett
Alice just returned to the country and got to endorse their game without any work to her name.
Everyone in the company has been gossiping about who her backer is. Today, when Daniel accompanied Alice to the photoshoot, the news spread instantly.
Daniel and Alice's close relationship is already obvious to everyone.
Dane chuckled, "Miss Brown is really multi-talented. So you can dance too. Let me check with Mr. Wilson about this."
Dane didn't dare offend Alice, but this new game was a major project.
Zenith Enterprises Group's previous hit game used Shadowlight's choreography, and the results were excellent. This time, Zenith Enterprises Group had sincerely invited Shadowlight again.
At first, Shadowlight had even turned them down. Now that she finally came, and Zenith Enterprises Group wanted to replace her - not only was this inappropriate, but Dane also didn't trust Alice's abilities.
"Mr. Torres, isn't this unnecessary? Alice is the future lady of the Star Group. Would Mr. Wilson not trust Alice?"
Laura pulled at Dane, but he insisted on checking with Daniel.
At that moment, Daniel had just come out of the conference room after hearing the annual plan. When Dane came forward and mentioned this matter, Daniel's expression darkened.
"Smooth and attractive character movements are key factors affecting the game's visual appeal. Do I need to remind Mr. Torres how important the motion capture dancer is? Can the motion capture performer be changed so easily?"
Though Daniel scolded him, Dane felt relieved.
Fortunately, Daniel hadn't lost his mind over a pretty face.
He quickly said, "The motion capture dancer is currently doing a test dance in the capture room. Would Mr. Wilson like to go see for yourself?"
Daniel nodded slightly, and Dane hurried ahead to lead the way.
When they reached the capture room, he gently pushed open the door.
Daniel immediately saw Scarlett dancing in front of the black backdrop, with equipment attached to her body.
As she performed the dance moves, technicians would capture and synthesize her movements and details, making the game character perform the same actions.
Scarlett was very focused, and the staff were all doing their jobs. No one noticed the movement at the door.
Just as Dane was about to speak up, Daniel raised his hand and closed the door directly, cutting off the inside from the outside.
Dane thought Daniel was very satisfied and didn't want to disturb the progress inside, but then he heard Daniel say in a deep voice.
"Let Alice try as the motion capture dancer. If she can handle it, sign her."
Dane was stunned. Why did Daniel suddenly change his mind?
But Daniel had already started walking out, his face cold and his steps quick.
That woman Scarlett still wanted to earn his money, then turn around and divorce him. How capable of her. Why doesn't she just fly to the sky!
Scarlett was recording her dance when Dane suddenly walked in with people.
"Let's pause for a moment."
Scarlett stopped and looked over, seeing Alice greeting everyone with a smile on her face.
"I'm Alice, and I'm also here today to audition as a motion capture dancer. Please take good care of me."
Laura and her assistant came forward carrying coffee and milk tea to distribute. The atmosphere became lively.
Sarah angrily rushed up to Alice, "This job is Scarlett's. Stop butting in! With your uncoordinated limbs, you want to create a bunch of disabled game characters."
Scarlett had also removed the equipment attached to her body and walked over. She looked at Dane.
"Mr. Torres, Zenith Enterprises Group invited me for this collaboration. Are you not satisfied with my dance just now?"
Dane looked troubled. Alice smiled and interrupted.
"Scarlett, stop making things difficult for others. Let me be honest with you - this game company is under the Star Group. Daniel gave the order. He thinks I'm more suitable and wants me to replace you. Mr. Torres has no choice."
Of course she wasn't afraid to tell Scarlett. This way she could drive a wedge between Scarlett and Daniel, and also make Dane owe her a favor.
Scarlett clenched her fists tightly. When she was dancing earlier, she vaguely seemed to see Daniel's figure flash past the door.
She thought she had seen wrong, but it really was him.
Time and again, taking away her opportunities and creations, and giving them to Alice.
But Scarlett still held a bit of hope in her heart. She looked at Dane questioningly. Dane smiled awkwardly and pulled Scarlett aside.
"I'm sorry. Ms. Lewis's dance was very suitable for the game we're developing and would have been the icing on the cake.
We were sincere about collaborating this time too, but Mr. Wilson probably has other considerations. He just watched Ms. Lewis's motion capture dance and wasn't quite satisfied, so we can't sign with Ms. Lewis."
So Daniel saw her, knew it was her, and that's why he canceled the collaboration?
Scarlett dug her nails into her palm, her heart numb.
"How can you do this!? Isn't this just playing with people? You're such a big game company, and you have no integrity at all!"
Sarah was furious. Scarlett held her back, "Forget it, Sarah. Let's go."
With Daniel's order, even if they made a huge fuss now, it would be useless.
As Scarlett and Sarah came out of Zenith Enterprises Group, they happened to see Daniel's car approaching. The rear window was half open, and Daniel's cold, handsome profile looked extremely noble.
Sarah immediately rushed forward, "Stop the car!"
Without Daniel's order, Otto didn't dare stop and continued driving forward. Daniel's gaze didn't even look over.
Sarah angrily rushed toward the front of the car. Today she was going to stand up for Scarlett.
"Sarah!"
Seeing the danger, Scarlett panicked and also rushed over, trying to pull Sarah back.
In the back seat, Daniel finally looked up, his pupils contracting.
"Stop the car!"
He ordered in a deep voice. Otto slammed on the brakes, but Scarlett and Sarah, who had been struggling in front, disappeared from view. He didn't know if they had been hit accidentally.
Daniel's hands on his knees suddenly clenched. Daniel opened the car door, got out, and quickly walked to the front of the car.
In front of the car, Sarah had almost been hit and fell to the ground unsteadily.
Scarlett had pulled her and was also brought down. The two fell together, looking extremely disheveled.
Daniel walked over. Seeing that both were fine, his handsome face turned iron-blue as he spoke.
"You can even get hit like this? Quite impressive."
"Daniel drove into his own wife. You're even more impressive!" Sarah cursed angrily.
Scarlett supported herself on the ground and got up, then held back Sarah who wanted to rush forward, and said to Daniel.
"A black-hearted, rotten capitalist like Mr. Wilson wouldn't care anyway."
Daniel sneered.
Of course he understood why Scarlett and Sarah were so angry.
Scarlett was throwing a tantrum because her collaboration fell through. Such childish behavior, yet she still wanted to break away from the Wilson family and leave him? Ridiculous!
"Good that you know."
After Daniel spoke, he turned to get in the car.
Sarah was furious on Scarlett's behalf. She broke free from Scarlett's restraint, rushed over to block the car door, and glared at Daniel.
"Daniel, you really are a black-hearted capitalist! When other rich people get divorced, even if they don't give their wives half their assets, at least they provide cars, houses, and alimony!
But you - Scarlett wasn't loved at all during the two years she was married to you. When you divorce, you still make her bear huge debts! When she goes out to earn money, you block her way and steal her resources to subsidize your mistress.
You have to use your wife's resources to subsidize your mistress - if you're this cheap, don't try to be a sugar daddy! What did Scarlett ever do to wrong you that you humiliate and bully her like this? What kind of man are you!"
