Punished by His Love

Chapter 2684

At that moment, Marcus absolutely wanted to pin Roderick on the ground and beat him up aggressively.

Roderick, however, did not look at Marcus but only at the actress. "Mila, right?"

Mila immediately nodded. "My name is Mila Murphy, and I'm from Northern Muslon. My skin is a little sensitive,

so I'll often put on a lot of makeup. I have acting experience, especially acting as a vicious supporting actress.

I have a rich experience in this. I don't have a high demand for the pay. I just want...to be friends with Master

Marcus."

Roderick promised her once again. "Marcus is my good friend. I've agreed. You may first return home. We'll

sign the contract another day. Alright?"

"Alright!" Mila was incomparably happy.

It was after Mila left that Marcus looked at him with annoyance. "Roderick! What are you doing?"

Roderick smiled. "Marcus, it’s just an ordinary friend. Just take it as I'm joking with you, alright?"

Marcus was still infuriated. "Do you think I have the mood to joke about this with you? I'm a person without my

wife. My wife’s whereabouts are still unknown! I don't even know if she's alive or dead! I'm in no mood to be

friends with anybody! Especially women! I don't want to have anything to do with any other women in this life!

If

Roderick looked at Marcus very patiently. "Marcus, let me ask you, are we friends?"

Marcus looked at Roderick irritably. "Since when have I said that you and I are not friends? Roderick, tell me in

your words, how have I been to you? You don’t have the money to make a movie, I funded your movie entirely.

What else do I have to do? You clearly know that Yvonne is a huge concern in my mind and I don't have the

mind to take another look at any other women. Yet, you let this lowly woman be friends with me. What do you

mean?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Roderick sighed. "Marcus, you don't understand this industry of mine. I'm a director who is well-known in the

entire country, but I don't have money in hand as well. I don't have money, so I have to wait for the chance to

shoot a shocking project. You know that to prepare for this script. I've already spent five years just editing and

fixing the script alone. In the past five years, I had no paychecks at all. After I've fixed the script, I have to pull

the funds in. I used to tell you that I was so lucky to have met you, who are willing to fund me fully. But what if

you're not willing to invest in my movie, my script may just go down the drain. You know that it would be very

hard for a filmmaker to fulfill his dream and his ideals even after pursuing them his whole life. I have such a

chance, so I have to fight for it, my friend. Also, this movie has a very deep meaning. Don't you wish that such

a movie could let even more people be familiar with it, especially those marginalized groups?"

What he said truly reduced Marcus' anger quite a bit. That was true. The marginalized groups. His missing

wife, who was taking care of his two children, belonged to the marginalized groups. The movie was a story that

reflects that marginalized groups have to know how to protect themselves and fight back in time. It had an

incomparably profound meaning to it.

"Marcus, since the beginning, I've wanted Yvonne to play the leading lady of this movie. She has the kind of

clean, sweet, and pure temperament, which made her the best candidate for my movie. It has taken me a

great deal of effort to get Yvonne. However, God has other plans sometimes. I’ve finally gotten a heavenly

candidate like Yvonne, but she went missing. Marcus, do you think you're the only one suffering a great deal

because you’ve lost Yvonne? It's the same for me as well. I can tell that Yvonne loves to act in movies. She

wants to act in a very good movie, which has already been her ideal."
