River had been wandering in the entertainment industry for over a decade, maintaining a lukewarm status. His acting skills and appearance didn't quite measure up, keeping his popularity from soaring. However, due to recent scandals, he suddenly became the center of attention—a married male actor being seduced by a sexy model, a sensational headline that captivated everyone.
Men sighed at his amorous encounter while simultaneously trying to whitewash his image, claiming to fully understand how any average man would succumb to the seduction of such a beauty. On the other hand, women hurled insults at Yulia, branding her a seductress and a homewrecker, all the while keeping a close watch on River to prevent him from abandoning his seemingly troubled marriage. And so, River's fame and popularity skyrocketed.
In an era where attention was everything, regardless of how fame was acquired, as long as there was exposure and visibility, there was money to be made, and just like that, River suddenly transformed from an obscure actor into a trending figure. Success came too fast, and he started seeing himself as an A-lister, looking down on others with an inflated ego.
Robert, observing River's behavior, hesitated to speak further and could only turn to Quintus, saying, "Mr. Towry, what should we do? This guy is quite skilled. If he decides to take action, it could be troublesome!"
Quintus, with a disinterested glance at River, then addressed Kingsley, "My friend, we are currently filming here, and we hope you won't disrupt the order. Otherwise, I'll have to call the police."
"Call the police?" Kingsley sneered. "You guys forcibly take up the road for your production, but do you have the proper permits? If not, I might just invite the police to come and ask why you're preventing everyone from passing through!"
Quintus hesitated at that, looking at the guards on the ground. "Well… we indeed don't have the permits, but all of this is arranged by Mr. Kendall Lawson. With Mr. Kendall making the arrangements, do we still need permits in Cleapolis?"
"Since when does Kendall Lawson have such authority?" Kingsley questioned expressionlessly. "How have I never heard of it?"
Seeing Kingsley casually mention Kendall's full name, showing familiarity, Quintus quickly said, "Oh, do you know Mr. Kendall? If you do, things are easier. I can immediately contact him and have him resolve this matter!"
While Quintus' words carried a tone of negotiation, in actuality, it was a subtle threat to Kingsley. Implicitly, it conveyed, "If you don't leave, I'll personally call Mr. Kendall!"
