Jessie smiled before saying, "Mr. Jackson, I was very unhappy when you removed me from the crew. I hope you can reconsider things and let me rejoin and play the part of the heroine.

Only then will I be happy."

“What did you just say? Do you even know what you are talking about?" Francis couldn't restrain his emotions that he instantly growled in anger.

But the next second, his eyes widened in horror as if he realized something.

“Well, is that a refusal I'm hearing?"

Jessie said indifferently from the other end of the line.

“That's too bad. After all, someone you know might not come back safely in that case. Let's not fool ourselves here. I'm sure you have noticed that Maria isn't at the shooting place.”

Hearing this, Francis's heart pounded so hard. It seemed that what he was fearing turned out to be real.

Jessie actually sent people to kidnap Maria!

Francis cursed in his heart. This bitch was completely crazy. Didn't she know the consequences of these actions? It was illegal, a criminal offense!

But soon, Francis thought of the master that Jessie sent. He was strong enough that he could easily defeat the Leader of the security guards, who was a level one ancient martial arts practitioner. Thinking of this, Francis immediately realized that Jessie wasn't joking.

“Mr. Jackson, you must have heard of the ancient martial artists, right? Well, the man I sent is a master at Level two of the ancient martial arts. You should know what that means!"

Upon saying this, Jessie laughed complacently. A level two ancient martial artist? Francis’ heart almost gave out. He understood that Maria's life was in grave danger as of the moment.

“No... Please don’t hurt Maria.” Although Francis was filled with fear and anger, he still did his best to keep his voice down.

Moreover, he couldn't tell the truth that Maria was actually Mia, the author of the Female Military Counsellor.

He assumed that once Maria's identity was revealed, Jessie might panic and become more irrational. In the end, she might really kill Maria, which was the last thing that he wanted to happen.

“Then, I'll take that as a yes, Mr. Jackson." Jessie smirked mockingly as if she had already won.

Francis bit his lip so hard and finally said, “Listen. I can make the arrangement so that you can immediately return to the crew. However, I still can't make you play the role of the heroine. Instead, you can continue playing your original role as the princess. I'll try my best to give you more parts as a compromise! Believe me. That's all I can do for you.

But I promise that I will make it happen.“

Compared with Maria's life and safety, making this concession was nothing. Besides, he believed that the two companies would accept these changes if he explained carefully.

“Humph, Fine! It's a deal." Jessie was a little dissatisfied the fact that this was all she could get, but it was still good enough for now.

Afterward, she told Francis the location where he could pick Maria up. However, he had to go alone. Jessie forbade him to ask anyone else to accompany him.

Moreover, Jessie was not in the place where Maria was being held. Instead, it was Grover who was supposed to be handling the situation for her. After ascending the mountain, Grover just told Jessie the location where he was going to take Maria as hostage.

Under Jessie's guidance, Francis went towards the mountainside with trepidation in his heart.
