Ariana replied with a smile.

Jayson felt a little embarrassed as he was not used to being praised. He rubbed his nose and said sheepishly, "Since you came, I'd like your opinion on which investor to choose."

"Do you have any preference?" Ariana asked.

Jayson thought for a moment and replied honestly, "These are all excellent investors from big and reliable companies. But I prefer the BRD Group.”

"The BRD Group contacts you too?” Ariana asked in surprise.

Jayson was also surprised that the BRD Group would reach out to him.

He didn't expect a big company like the BRD Group to be interested in a small-scale suspense movie. Besides, the amount proposed was far beyond his expectation.

“When I answered the phone, I almost thought it was a scam call. But I checked the number and confirmed it was real. The BRD Group did take a fancy to our script!”

Jayson exclaimed elatedly. He had been so surprised and excited in the past few days that everything seemed surreal.

Ariana smiled, "So I reckon you have decided to cooperate with the BRD Group?"

“Yes, I plan to. But I'm concerned that the company will interfere too much in shooting and casting. The BRD Group is a leader in the industry. With their strong background and capabilities, I'm afraid that there will be disagreements. Besides, I wouldn't dare to offend them," Jayson lamented after a short hesitation.

"Ms. Edwards, would you mind if we discuss this again after we meet all the investors?"

"I don't mind. Besides, this is your work. You should have the final say," Ariana replied understandingly.

She knew that Jayson was grateful to her and wanted to respect her opinion.

However, she only lent a hand whenever he needed it. Now that he had won the battle, the time was ripe for her to take a back seat. She had no intention of interfering with the upcoming production.

She didn't want Jayson to feel indebted to her. All she wanted was for Tyler to act in the film.

“To tell the truth, I don't understand why the BRD Group has taken a liking to this script. The budget is so small that it may not reach as many viewers as they think it would," Jayson said with a puzzled look.

“Your script and cinematography were excellent. That's why it attracted the BRD Group's attention. Mr. Spears, have more confidence in yourself," Ariana replied rationally.

She truly believed that the BRD Group's interest was due to his abilities. Holden had been so busy. Where would he find the time to notice such a film? Besides, her name wasn't even on the credits.

Julissa smiled as she peeled an orange for Ariana while listening to their conversation.
