Edgar was someone who knew how to analyze situations and had no trouble following the trend. He was able to find the backer shortly after entering the showbiz industry. As a result, his director's journey was much smoother than Jayson's.

Coincidentally, he also directed a short film this year, which was a strong favorite to win the short film award at this year's film festival.

Jasper hadn't seen Ariana in a long time. He didn't get to see her often, so he rushed over and stood in her way.

"Why did you end up with Mr. Nobody recently? You could do better," Jasper said casually.

Ariana had initially wanted to ignore him, but Jasper had always been a handful.

Seeing that Ariana didn't say anything, he got excited and asked, "What's wrong?

Are you admitting defeat? You don't have the nerve to speak, do you?”

Jayson couldn't stand it and chimed in, "The reason we came to this film festival is to win an award, not to make things difficult for a lady."

Hearing this, Jasper snapped at Jayson, "You're so useless and yet you want to protect her? You're actually hoping for Ariana to be your backer, right? I think you better run away from here ASAP, lest you make a fool of yourself. You refused to cooperate with me, but know that many people are ready to do so. The director I'm cooperating with now is Edgar. The lead actress in his next film is none other than the popular Brielle Edwards."

"Brielle has nothing exceptional apart from her filthy scandals. You better choose your actresses more carefully instead of being the stupid playboy the Anderson family had the misfortune to raise. Your taste is as bad as your breath!" Ariana was no longer the same person she used to be. After staying with Theodore for a long time, she had learned how to be mean and sarcastic.

Jasper was so angry he almost cursed her. Luckily for him, Edgar was ruder. He immediately cut in, "You're Ariana Edwards, aren't you? You are a new agent, yet you are so arrogant?”

Edgar gave Ariana a ferocious smile as if he was trying to scare her.

Then he looked at Jayson and said defiantly, "Jayson Spears, you're nothing now.

You can't even afford your wife's medical bills. You should change careers ASAP."

Ariana was so pissed that she immediately retorted.

"Mr. Benton, you are no better.

For the sole purpose of getting the funds for your movie and winning the award, you promised to cast a terrible actress like Brielle as the lead in your movie. That woman only gets her popularity because of all kinds of publicity stunts, but her acting sucks. Not to mention the tons of dirty laundry she has to deal with! I addressed you as ‘Mr. Benton’ just because I've got good manners, not because I respect you. You are just a puppet.”

Edgar was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

Jasper sneered and spoke for Edgar.

"What's the use of being stubborn? Making money is the most important thing. What qualifications does a no-name like Jayson have? Can he be compared with Edgar? He is such a loser he can't even get his film funded! To think he hopes to make a splash with you, an unknown new agent.
