Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 752

"It's fine," Cordelia said softly. "I've ordered a drink for you. You like blueberry cheese milk tea, right?"

"Hah, Cordelia." Ava still refused to remove her sunglasses. "I liked it last time, but not now! I have to maintain my figure now. After all, I have so many scenes to shoot… Besides, if someone caught me having milk tea in a shop like this, it'd affect my image!"

"Oh…" Cordelia nodded and did her best to look nonchalant. "Oh, yeah, Ava, I asked you out today to talk to you about the film."

"Everything's going smoothly, don't worry!" Ava jutted her chin. "Ms. Lulham says that I'm a talented actress, and this film will definitely boost me to stardom!"

"Really?" Cordelia chuckled. "It's great that you received her compliments, but… I'm afraid the production can't go on."

Ava removed her sunglasses, and her eyes were wide like saucers.

"What did you say!?"

"Ava, calm down," Cordelia coaxed her softly. "Well, I've gone through the Baker Group's accounts, and there isn't much cash flow. A few of the investments haven't seen profits yet, so we don't have much money. Prestige Agency's the one investing in the production, but they pulled out at the last minute, so… it's really a challenge!"

Ava's mind buzzed, and her train of thoughts crashed.

How could they not have money? Why did they pull out?

Her mother had said that she had invested in the film to make her the female lead so she could be nominated and win an award!

It was all gone now?

Cordelia looked sincere. "Ava, Trinity has shown me your samples. They're great! Especially your expressions, they're on point!

"Of course, she also mentioned the discord between you and Neil the other day… I apologize to you for that. My cousin succeeded at a young age, so he's inevitably a little arrogant. I'm sorry that he has offended you.

The Baker Group had no cash flow available, and her only hope now was Chuck Cole.

Cordelia continued to instigate her. "Ava, as long as we can resolve the production fund issue, I'm confident to push this film up the award podium through some insider manipulation!"

"Really?"

Ava looked up and met Cordelia's cryptic gaze. She gnashed her teeth and sprang up before she ran out of the dessert shop. It would be useless to go to her mother—she could only go to Chuck!

She hailed a cab and rushed to Chuck.

As Cordelia watched her enter the car, she called Zephyr. "Honey, I'm done here. What about your arrangement?"
