Lily knew Hayden's temper all too well. He could act like a rabid dog sometimes.
If she showed any dissatisfaction now, Hayden would seize the opportunity to kick her out of the team just because she wouldn't comply. That would be far too risky for her.
"Good, since no one has any objections, let's move forward. Make sure you understand the roles you've been assigned, and don't complain about it later," Hayden said coldly.
The group remained silent.
Hayden smirked, knowing the matter was settled. He shot Lily a glance. "What about you, Lily? Do we still need to change any roles?"
He stepped closer toward her.
Lily's expression grew tense, and her anger was clear on her face. After weighing her options, she let out a frustrated sigh.
"No," she admitted reluctantly.
Despite her words, she was fuming inside. She silently vowed to wait for her father to step in and make Hayden regret this.
Before long, Hayden's firm stance silenced the influencers as well. If even Lily didn't dare to oppose him, how could they?
Gradually, everyone complied and stopped causing trouble. Then, Hayden directed the company's team to prepare the set and begin filming.
"We'll start editing soon. Some of you might be called back for reshoots, or certain scenes might get cut entirely. But please know this is all for the future of Stonybrook, and I trust you'll understand.
"If you have any complaints, take them to the Public Affairs Department. That's all from me. You're free to leave now!" Hayden smiled faintly before waving them off.
The influencers froze, their faces dark, but they dared not speak up. Instead, they looked toward Lily for guidance.
However, Lily was powerless. All she did was turn and leave.
"Let's see if you'll still be smiling in the end."
