Chapter: 473
Soon, only Jayson and Ariana were at the table, and Jayson was smiling so happily.
It was the first time he showed his emotions on his face. He then excitedly discussed the casting and
timeline.
Ariana, on the other hand, was somewhat absent-minded. Seeing that Adrian was walking away fast,
she chased after him and called out, “Mr. Perkins, please wait a moment.”
Hearing her voice, Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise and stopped. He turned around and asked,
“Ms. Edwards, is there anything else I can do for you?”
“Thank you so much for the investment and help.”
“You don’t have to thank me. You should be thanking Mr. Fredrick,” he explained hurriedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAriana took a deep breath and asked, “Mr. Fredrick is behind all this? Why would he do this?”
She always thought it was strange that the people from the BRD Group would come in to help when
she needed it. Even this time, the problem had been resolved so quickly after Jayson’s call for help. It
was as if the BRD Group had been monitoring the situation from the start.
Ariana was not stupid. She figured that Holden must have a hand in this, and Adrian confirmed her
suspicion.
“yes, Mr. Fredrick had ordered the company to pay attention to this movie. We respected Mr. Spears’
decision to cooperate with another company, but we had to intervene when Jasper caused trouble,”
Adrian explained with a smile. Ariana would never know what Theodore had done to pull this off.
“Why did Mr. Fredrick help us?” Ariana was puzzled and worried. She thought that Holden was being
too kind to her.
Adrian hesitated and sighed, “As Mr. Fredrick’s employee, I am not inclined to question his orders. Ms.
Edwards, it would be best that you ask him yourself.”
At the Anderson Group headquarters, Jasper faced a scolding from his father.
He didn’t dare to talk back. Once Darian had vented enough, Jasper said, “Dad, don’t be angry. I
simply don’t want to lose the bet. Because of Theodore, you were removed from the board of directors.
I can’t stand that.”
His words were a mix of truth and deceit. In reality, he didn’t care much about whether Darian had any
influence in the company. However, flattery never hurts.
As expected, Darian’s anger subsided somewhat. He snorted, “I know you care. If you’d transfer the
three percent of the shares back to me, I’d feel more at ease.”
Jasper understood that the old man still coveted the shares he held. Darian’s self-interest infuriated

“Dad, the three percent of the shares won’t change anything. We should focus on finding a way to take
control back from Adrian.” Jasper chuckled, and then added, “Now that Adrian is the chairman of the
Anderson Group, he’s still using SJ Entertainment’s resources to profit the BRD Group. You could
report him to the board of directors and bring him down.”
These words reignited Darian’s anger. How could he have such an imprudent son?
“And then what? Adrian holds the majority of shares. The board members are all fickle. Do you think
anyone will side with us? Besides, the Anderson Group is no match for the BRD Group in the end. As
long as Adrian remains vice president of the BRD Group, we have to tread carefully.”
Jasper scowled and grumbled, “Adrian is nothin;
As soon as Jasper finished his sentence, Darian struck him on the head. “Even if he’s nothing, he’s
currently the most powerful person in the Anderson Group.
