Chapter 97
Horace was not interested in hearing her out.
He walked up to Dustin.
“Mr. Fox, I sincerely apologize. I was inside discussing production matters with a few of the producers and wasn’t aware of what was happening outside,” Horace said apologetically. “I assure you that this will never happen again!”
When Horace said that, the place fell into a dead silence..
Everyone looked shocked, the entire set fell silent.
Was this really the rumored “Steely Director?”
With his status and reputation, he did not even bother with the big shots of Central Harbor!
But he was bowing and apologizing to an unknown brat!
The whole crew was stunned.
If the word got out, this would definitely make headlines tomorrow!
Rachel’s eyes widened.
Who exactly was this guy?
Why was Mr. Timm so respectful toward him?
Simone and Camille were also shocked.
They thought that Horace accepted the offer of the film only because he somehow knew Dustin.
It seemed he was somehow lower than Dustin.
How could someone who had never been involved in the entertainment industry wield so much power?
“Oh, I forgot to mention… Mr. Fox is the sole investor in the drama,” Horace said calmly as he glanced around at the crowd
“What?!”

Everyone was shocked.
An investor naturally had a higher status than the average person, but it was still not enough to humble the top celebrities.
However, it was different when someone like Horace was respectful and polite to ant investor.
This person was undoubtedly a powerful figure!
Everyone racked their brains, but no one could figure out who this young
investor was.
They all regretted their actions.
If only they had not said anything offensive and sided with Camille before… “How did you select these people? Replace the entire cast!” Dustin said coldly. “I wasn’t directly involved in the casting decisions, but it’s still my fault,” said Horace and nodded. He admitted his mistake without hesitation.
“You all can pack up and leave!” When he turned to the others, his face darkened. He looked very imposing.
“Mr. Timm… it wasn’t our fault!” Some people remained quiet, while some others who had not attacked Dustin or Camille pleaded their case.
The Legend of the Swordsman 4 was a highly anticipated series, so no one wanted to let go of the opportunity to work in it.
Besides, if they provoked Mr. Timm, it would be very difficult to survive in the industry in the future.
“When the lead actress was being humiliated, none of you said a word. Why? Were you dead then?” Horace asked. “Get lost! From now on, your names won’t be welcome in any project I work on!”
Everyone’s faces paled in fear.
Rachel’s outburst had cost all of them their jobs today.
Replacing the cast mid–production was normally unthinkable.

But The Legend of the Swordsman 4 was not an ordinary production. Besides, with Horace’s status and connection, there would be plenty of celebrities who would eagerly leap at the chance to join the project.
Rachel watched the entire cast leave the set and sighed regretfully. She was at a
loss for words.
She never expected things to turn out this way.
Some of the people who had been dismissed would surely hold a grudge against her, and she could not afford to offend any of the big names,
“Why are you still here?” Dustin glared at Rachel in disgust.
“I…”
Rachel had lost her arrogance and tried to muster some placating words.
“Someone! Throw her out!” Dustin waved his hand dismissively.
At the entrance of the filming studio in Rivenesco, Rachel was dragged and flung into a ditch. She was covered in mud. She was dirty and smelly.
The pointing fingers from passersby made her feel humiliated, and the flashes from the paparazzi’s cameras filled her with panic.
She screamed before she ran out of the crowd. She was consumed by hatred.
“I won’t let this slide!”
