Chapter 137

“Yes, Miss Hughes, I do think so. Apart from Mr. Jackson, I'm afraid only Maria Jenkins can direct this play. I believe that when you consider the entire domestic film and television industry, no - the global film and television industry - there is no third person that can be qualified to be the director of Legend of Anne.”

Jay paused again.

Then, in a slightly more respectful tone, he said, "Please tell Mr. Gerry that I hope he can continue to enjoy the peaceful life that retirement brings. Please also remind him not to forcefully take over a production that is beyond his ability. Or else, his long-built reputation in the industry will be tarnished."

With that, Jay promptly hung up.

Patricia was livid. Her face fumed as she hung up. Then, she looked at Austin cautiously, who was sitting just next to her.

“Mr. Gerry, you heard him. What should we do?”

Austin stroked his goatee. It was clear he felt the gloom with the production, and dissatisfaction with Maria, as well.
