Chapter 420 The Wargod Producer
Lillian took one look at Cameron-red shirt, blue pants, an over-the-top outfit-and instantly felt no desire to walk closer.
Seeing how slowly she moved, Cameron strode over, grabbed her, and shoved her into the car. The blue sports car sped off from the school gates with a sharp roar.
Hidden in the shadows, a figure watched with a chilling smile tugging at his lips.
Inside the car, Lillian frowned in confusion. “What’s so urgent p>
Cameron kept his eyes on the road. “We’re having dinner with Million Corp’s film producer tonight. Didn’t you say you were interested in Wargod? He’s the one in charge p>
Lillian’s eyes lit up instantly; she smiled, teasing, “Not bad; thank you. I was just worrying I’d never get the chance p>
“You could’ve gone straight to Merrick,” Cameron said bluntly. “If he put his word in, forget a few roles—even the whole production could be yours if you wanted p>
Lillian thought for a moment. “The ultimate boss is for crucial moments; one movie isn’t worth it p>
“Fair point.” Cameron chuckled.
By the time they arrived at the Imperial Hotel, the private room was already full.
As they stepped inside, a slightly overweight man laughed. “Mr. Cameron, what took you so long? We’ve all been waiting p>
Cameron’s demeanor shifted into calm authority as he smiled. “Apologies; I had to pick someone up p>
Eyes quickly landed on the girl beside him. In their circles, beauty was common, but this one still managed to make them pause.
“Mr. Cameron, is this a new recruit in your company? Not bad; sharp eye you’ve got p>
Cameron only smiled and led Lillian to an empty seat.
The heavyset man across the table grinned. “Mr. Cameron, aren’t you going to make an introduction p>
Cameron gestured. “This is Mr. Rick from Million Corp; he oversees their film division.” Then to Rick, he added, “This is Ms. Harrington. I heard Memo Entertainment and Million Corp are

planning to launch Wargod; she has some ideas p>
“Oh, so Ms. Harrington is interested in film as well. That’s good news; at least it means we’ll have something in common to talk about.” Rick smiled.
Lillian gave a polite smile. “I wouldn’t go that far. I’m simply interested in this particular movie, and I hope Mr. Rick might give me a chance p>
Rick’s eyes gleamed as he studied her. “And what kind of chance is Ms. Harrington hoping for p>
Catching the shadow in his gaze, Lillian sneered inwardly. “I have a few actors under me; I’d like a couple of roles in Wargod p>
The people around the table shifted uneasily. So direct?
Rick gave a dry laugh, leaned back, and fixed his eyes on her. “That’s easy enough. However many roles Ms. Harrington wants-no problem. But first, let’s eat p>
He waved to the server. “Pour Ms. Harrington some wine p>
A server in a dress carried the bottle over and moved to pour, but Lillian placed her hand firmly over her glass. “Sorry, I don’t drink p>
Rick’s eyes turned icy. “So Ms. Harrington refuses to show me respect p>
Lillian smiled faintly. “I wouldn’t dare; after all, I need your help. How could I disrespect you? But as for the wine… I’ll pass p>
Her
open defiance made the atmosphere instantly tense.
“Ms. Harrington, that’s ungrateful-how dare you refuse Mr. Rick’s gesture p>
“Exactly. Even Mr. Cameron has to give Mr. Rick his due respect p>
Lillian leaned back lazily, her smile sharp. “Respect? Please. If I can stand up to Cameron, why should I bow to Rick p>
“Outrageous!” Rick roared. “You’re not here to negotiate-you’re here to make trouble. Don’t you want your actors in Wargod p>
Lillian’s tone remained calm, her words deliberate, “Interesting… Million Corp’s Mr. Rick is so powerful? Seems even Mr. Joah of Million Corp doesn’t hold as much weight as you. Am I right p>
Rick’s face swelled with pride. “Even Joah shows me respect. You’re too young; you don’t understand how the world works. A little money doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want p>

Lillian nodded solemnly. “Ah, so that’s how impressive you are. I was truly remiss earlier p>
me,
Rick’s smirk widened. “I’ll overlook it for Mr. Cameron’s sake. Just drink this bottle with and everything will be forgotten.” He motioned for the waiter to place the wine beside her.
Lillian cast a glance at Cameron, who was calmly cracking open a crab, and teased, “Well, well. I didn’t know your influence was this big p>
Cameron scooped out crab roe with a small spoon. “Who, me? Compared to you, I’m nothing but a grasshopper. Don’t mind me-go ahead and thrash whoever you like; I won’t complain p>
“You’re not afraid I’ll thrash the whole film deal into dust?” she asked, smirking.
“Eh, it’s just a movie. Worst case, Sebastian treats me to dinner.” Cameron popped the spoonful into his mouth.
Rick broke in impatiently. “So, have you decided? One bottle, and it’s all behind us p>
Lillian eyed the wine bottle, then nodded. “Not bad; a fair trade.” She turned to the waiter. “Open it. I’ll drink with Mr. Rick properly p>
The waiter hurried forward and pulled the cork.
Lillian picked up the empty glass, filled it herself, and stood in front of Rick with a pleasant smile. “I didn’t recognize true power just now, and I offended you. Please forgive me; this glass is my apology.” She filled it to the brim.
Rick looked at her with smug satisfaction, his eyes gleaming with certainty.
Lillian raised the glass, still smiling. “This first drink is to Mr. Rick’s courage. Few men are bold enough to grant me such respect.” Then she tipped the entire glass over his head.
Gasps rippled through the room.
She poured a second glass. “This one is also to Mr. Rick’s courage. After all, in my whole life, no one but my fiancé has ever dared lay a hand on me. Remarkable; truly worthy of respect.” She upended the wine over his head again.
Rick’s face darkened with rage.
Lillian poured the rest of the bottle into a final glass and smiled. “This third is to wish Mr. Rick a long and prosperous life; may he always enjoy fine wine. But with so many pits in the road, let’s hope he doesn’t fall into one.” With that, she dumped the remaining wine over his head.
