Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 555

But Vincent was not the type to be casually treated like an extra. He had quite a high status as an actor.

"It was thoughtful of Mr. Huntsman and Ms. Youngblood to add roles for us. But it seems like we won't be able to participate in those scenes anymore.

"As for the remaining extras, I'm sure it shouldn't be difficult for the film crew to hire more people now that the problem has been resolved."

Vincent had always been poised. Even when addressing conflicts, he would structure his sentence to sound polite.

Steve noticed the underlying dissatisfaction in his words and immediately became flustered. "No, Mr. Turner, that's not what Lucy meant. She was just discussing the plot with us."

"Did we mishear then? Wasn't Ms. Youngblood saying that since the issue has been resolved, there's no need to give the cast members special roles and that we can just muddle through with some random scenes?"

Olivia interjected with a tone that was far more direct than Vincent's, and she wasn't at all concerned about offending Steve.

If it wasn't for the entertainment program, they wouldn't have bothered to act in The Flourishing Age at all.

What irked her most was Kiley's attitude. She had thought that "Lucy" seemed decent, but it was now clear that it had all been an act.

Eddie and Juniper said nothing, but their expression showed they were equally displeased toward Kiley's words.

Only Shannon remained silent.

Steve was still scrambling to explain when Kiley stepped forward and appeared guilty after being called out. But she stubbornly maintained her stance.

"You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant.

"Since the issue with the crew has been resolved, y'all don't need to work as hard as before. Taking on minor roles as extras would be more relaxing."

He had no idea why "Lucy" would suddenly act that way. If words got out, the reputation of the film crew would be ruined.

"Mr. Hamilton, Livy, Vinny, I assure you that the script will proceed exactly as we originally discussed. There's no question of anyone playing extras.

"All the cast members on this episode are here as special guests, and we'll give them proper credits in the final cut."

Steve was sweating profusely as he spoke. He glanced nervously at Shannon and hoped for her support.

He could tell that Shannon's opinion carried the most significance among the entire production crew and cast members.

Shannon didn't disappoint him as she met his hopeful gaze and slowly said, "We'll follow Mr. Huntsman's plan and proceed with the filming."

Only if they continued filming could she observe "Lucy" closely and see who the latter truly was.
