The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Buddha Foster

Luca Jennings heard that Odessa had some accident in North City, but he still listened to the situation on her side.

Indeed, Odessa’s situation was somewhat awful.

Today was the first day of variety show recording, and unfortunately, Odessa’s foot was hit by a falling spotlight in the studio.

They had no choice but to stop the shooting.

The variety show couldn’t go on, and the crew was unwilling to provide compensation. Odessa’s everyday assistant was incapable of dealing with the dispute with the crew, so all they could do was turn to Luca Jennings to stand up for her.

After hearing the whole story, Luca Jennings found it a bit odd but didn’t ask further. After all, she was his sister-in-law, and they coincidentally were in the same city at the time. Even considering his regard for Michael Jennings, it wouldn’t be possible for him to refuse.

"I understand, I’ll have my assistant take care of it. You just focus on your recovery."

This kind of matter, naturally, wouldn’t involve Luca Jennings personally.

Sending an assistant would be sufficient.

As Luca Jennings was about to hang up, he heard Odessa’s somewhat sorrowful inquiry on the other end,

"Big brother, could you come to see me after you’re done with your work? I know it’s troublesome for you, but... but the crew is really too bullying! They treat me rudely because they know I’ve been out of the entertainment circle for many years and lack fame. If you could come, even just for a visit, the crew would definitely restrain their attitude out of respect for you."

Odessa’s voice was faltering, with a hint of injury.

According to her plan, having said so much, even if only for the sake of appearance, Luca Jennings ought to come to support his sister-in-law. As long as he came, she would have the excuse to depend on him.

Odessa had a good plan, but Luca Jennings did not agree, still saying,

"The assistant will handle it well, don’t worry."

Impervious as Luca Jennings was, Odessa secretly gritted her teeth, yet her voice didn’t betray the slightest reluctance, and she even took the opportunity to express her gratitude, complying submissively.

Insisting that he come in person could have aroused Luca Jennings’ suspicions.

Odessa planned to take it slow.

After hanging up the phone, Luca Jennings called over his special assistant.

Normally, such a minor issue would not even require the attention of his special assistant; a secretary under the special assistant’s command would suffice.

But since Odessa expressed concern, to show importance, it was necessary to send someone of significance to make an appearance.

Moreover, he felt there was something strange about the situation.

Since the crew had invited Odessa onto the show, they must have been aware that she is the daughter-in-law of the Jennings Family.

Knowing this, one would think they’d be more considerate in their actions.

Luca Jennings suspected that there was something going on behind the scenes.

He instructed his special assistant to also investigate while they were there.

Luca Jennings wondered if there was an adversary of the Jennings Family backing the crew, deliberately causing trouble for the Jennings Family members.

But the results sent back by the special assistant that evening were beyond his expectations.

"You’re saying... Odessa is demanding ten million in compensation from the crew?"

Luca Jennings’ voice was somewhat cold, yet the special assistant on the phone steadied himself and simply relayed the situation he had investigated.

"During the filming period in the crew’s care, the Second Madam had an accident. The crew did not shirk their responsibility and proactively offered to pay for her medical expenses and to provide prompt care. However, the Second Madam denied the crew’s arrangements, instead requesting ten million in compensation from the crew on the grounds that they deliberately harmed her personal safety."

To put it simply, right after the incident, the crew was willing to take full responsibility and accept reasonable compensation, but ten million... seemed like a deliberate extortion.

The assistant also suspected Odessa of trying to extort money.

He had reviewed the medical diagnosis; her leg was injured but not broken, and while it might scar, there were methods to erase those as well.

Even if she was highly valued, the compensation wouldn’t reach the extent of ten million.
