From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Watching James and Chris stand there with different expressions, yet both gritting their teeth in unison, not hiding their disgust and rejection—

Clearly, they were still not ready to forgive Brad Ranfro.

Anson's hospitalization was kept completely secret because it involved their overall plan, which was of great importance, so Edgar declined most visits.

In the end, people sent flower baskets or fruit to express their regards.

Honestly, Anson was a little surprised to see Brad Ranfro's flowers, not surprised by Brad's action, but surprised by the flowers themselves.

Brad had been wandering since he was a child, constantly moving from one foster home to another, not only without a fixed residence but also unable to get enough to eat.

Flowers?

For Brad, it was too extravagant.

Brad had never been able to understand the behavior of expressing feelings with flowers.

But he never expected that Brad would actually send flowers. This was a breakthrough.

Anson no longer held any grudges against Brad. The apology last time had cleared things up, and as time passed, all the sighs and emotions had vanished.

Anson, "He just realized he was lost and is trying to find his way back."

James still had his usual nonchalant look, "If only it were that simple, people don't change that easily."

Anson didn't explain, and looked at Chris, "You should look at the card."

Chris hesitated slightly, but he still obediently opened the card, "'It seems we all eventually evolve into the very thing we hate the most,' what does that mean?"

Anson shrugged lightly, "The literal meaning, Brad has also experienced a lot during this time."

James looked at Chris with a confused face, "Doesn't Jessica mind you being like this?"

Anson, "James, do you think Jessica is dating Chris because of his brains?"

Back and forth, they were perfectly in sync—

Jessica Biel, this young actress is still relatively unknown, mainly active on the small screen, and has also starred in some movies, but has never attracted attention.

Until this year, in October in the second half of the year, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" starring her is about to be released. This horror movie achieved a good box office result of 80 million US dollars in North America, but more importantly, the movie caused a phenomenal discussion in the video rental market and among horror movie fans, and Jessica became famous in one fell swoop.

However, Jessica's acting career has never gotten rid of the label of being a pretty face. Later, the reason why she truly entered the public eye was that she tamed the prodigal Justin Timberlake, the two entered the palace of marriage, and have two children.

And now?

Jessica is dating Chris Evans.

Until Lucas pushed the door open, the ultra-low pressure immediately quieted the air. James and Chris immediately became well-behaved, no longer daring to be smug, and hurriedly said goodbye and left obediently, which made Anson very helpless.

"Lucas, you look like an old man like this," Anson complained.

Lucas remained unmoved, "You need to rest."

Anson widened his eyes, "I'm not doing anything now, I'm resting all day long, and I still need to continue resting?"

Lucas, "Yes."

Anson: ......

A rustling laughter came from the door. It was rare to see the eloquent Anson being defeated, and they crowded together, giggling.

Lucas silently turned around, and the group of guys immediately dispersed like startled birds.

However, Kristen returned, hesitating at the door.

Anson noticed that during today's visit, Kristen had been preoccupied, rarely participating in the conversation, the corners of her mouth seemed particularly heavy and unable to lift, and she seemed hesitant, occasionally looking at Anson.

"Mary Jane?" Anson called out jokingly.

Kristen looked up reflexively, looked at Anson's bright smile, and was slightly stunned. A smile finally climbed to the corner of her mouth.

Letting out a breath, Kristen seemed to have finally made up her mind, standing at the door, "There's something you might need to know."

Not to mention Anson, Lucas also noticed the solemn atmosphere.

Lucas let Kristen in, lowered his voice and told him, "Please be quick, the doctor said Anson needs to rest."

After speaking, Lucas left the ward and closed the door behind him.

Anson waved his hand, "Don't worry about him, Lucas always worries too much."

Kristen came to the foot of the bed, showing a faint smile, "His worry is justified, we are also worried, and have been waiting for you to come back to work."

Anson, "Don't worry. Now I've simply degenerated into a baby, with someone taking care of me twenty-four hours a day, recovery is only a matter of time."

Kristen's smile paused for a moment, "But the situation is still more serious than imagined, right?"

"I mean, we came to visit you, and you've been lying in bed the whole time, looking like you're afraid to move your body easily; and you've been hiding it from the outside world."

"I, I'm just worried about you."

Kristen's words were slightly chaotic, hesitant to speak, and her eyes were also slightly evasive.

It was obvious that something was wrong.

Anson didn't deny it. Although the injury wasn't serious, he needed to be careful, because the muscles in his waist and back were sensitive. If they didn't recover properly and the injury worsened, the subsequent impact could last a lifetime.

Anson, "Kristen, have you heard anything?"

Suddenly, Kristen looked up, looking at Anson with a look of astonishment.

Anson, "You've been restless all day today, and now you've stayed behind alone, there must be something going on. Don't worry, you probably know the rumors that I also know."

Kristen muttered, "I'm just worried that you don't know anything, and you're being stabbed in the back while being kept in the dark."

Then, Kristen still said it.

"Sony Columbia is looking for an actor to replace you."

Finally!

Despite the difficulty, despite the struggle, Kristen finally said it.

Originally, Kristen was still worried about Anson, as such news would definitely be a shock. After all, Anson hadn't done anything wrong, and had paid such a painful price for the movie. However, Sony Columbia's reaction was actually to look for a successor and prepare for the worst, which was simply... shameless.

Even though Kristen knew that those Wall Street wolves had no humanity, she still felt chilled and couldn't believe Sony Columbia's cold-bloodedness and cruelty.

However, the Anson in front of her was calm, with a faint smile on his lips, confident and calm, as if he was in control of the overall situation.

Kristen was stunned, and suddenly realized, "You already knew?"

Anson nodded lightly, "But I still have to thank you for worrying about me, and for personally running over to tell me. Instead, I feel guilty, keeping you all in the dark."

Kristen let out a long breath, relaxing a little, "So, you are preparing to fight back, right? You will fight for the role, right?"
