Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The car was on fire, and the pyrotechnics professionals immediately stepped in and stopped the car from exploding.

A few minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took the injured man away.

The crew became silent and didn't know what to do.

"... Let's end the work for today. I want everyone to be quiet about this accident!"

Kazir shouted at the people. Then he looked at Fremont and Harold. Since they were in high positions, they had to make sure that the film crew was intact.

"Kazir..." Scarlett Johansson was startled by what she witnessed.

She was not close with the injured driver but they had a conversation although she was the one who was talking(grumbling).

"Let's talk later Scarlett, I have a job to do. You should go back to the hotel."

"Y- Yes. Take care."

Kazir Grey rubbed his forehead. He turned to Harold to talk about the possible consequences of this accident.

Harold promised that the driver would be compensated by Grey Pictures... Of course, the driver would have to keep quiet about the incident. A contract had to be written.

They didn't want to jeopardize the project because of an accident. The future of Grey Pictures lies in this film.

The accident that night made the atmosphere depressing.

Fortunately, they rented the construction site for three days, and they still have two days to go.

Kazir couldn't sleep that night because of what had happened. He contacted Roman Polanski, hoping that he could prevent the incident from spreading. No one from the cast was injured, but Kazir felt like something was not right.

"We just have to shoot the car chase."

It seemed that Fremont didn't have a peaceful night either. His eyes were bloodshot after he had calmed everyone down. He informed everyone and made sure that news won't spread.

"That's right. These are the remaining scenes we need to shoot at this location. Tell everyone to be careful and stay safe. I don't want anything bad to happen again."

The next night's filming was much slower, but they completed the scenes. They left the site after completing all the scenes and went to their next location.

Unfortunately, the incident still spread, but not in France. The news that there was an accident on the set of Taken was picked up by the film companies in Hollywood.

As a result, reporters and paparazzi showed up and disrupted their filming.

"Hayst..."

Kazir narrowed his eyes. He realized that a bunch of paparazzi and reporters were surrounding one person.

"Is that Scarlett?"

Kazir frowned and clicked his tongue. Judging by the situation, the paparazzi and reporters were disturbing the little girl.

"I can't believe they would do this to a child! I swear, these people."

Even Harold was disgusted.

The two ran toward the commotion.

"Miss, are you a member of this crew?"

"I-I..." Scarlett didn't know what to say. She was overwhelmed by the situation.

"Is it true that Director Grey intentionally made the driver suffer?"

The reporter uttered such non-sense, truly a normal day for a reporter, spouting bullshit questions.

"N- No..." Scarlett stuttered.

She was nervous. In front of these crazy people who wanted to tear her apart, Scarlett felt weak.

Tears began to flow as she hiccupped.

"What are you doing to a child? If you have any questions, ask me instead! I can sue your news stations and your publisher for harming a child!"

Scarlett turned to find Kazir Grey standing behind her. The man had a stern expression on his face.

"Director Grey, what do you think will happen when the driver gets out of the hospital? Will he file a lawsuit?"

"There are rumors that you don't care about your crew and only feed them cheap food, is it true, Director Grey?"

The paparazzi and reporters surrounded Kazir like flies.

Kazir motioned to Harold to take Scarlett away from the commotion.

'Where the hell is the Children's Association? This is the moment they are needed! They just let Scarlett face these demons.'

Kazir gritted his teeth.
