Pay Back What You Owe

Crystal was a little surprised. She suddenly felt like she had spoken to the wrong person.

But, what was actually happening on Jean's side?

He had immediately contacted a friend that understood the law and asked if Chantel was legally obligated to pay back the money. The response he got was, "Of course not. If she gives it to them, then she must be stupid!"

Jean understood that the real reason why Chantel wanted to pay the Quans back was because she wanted to break all ties with them. But, the amount was much too big!

Of course, this was a matter outside of the entertainment industry and news of it had not started spreading. So, under restrictions from Mason, Lila used the rest of her time to prepare for her film.

During this time, plenty of films were screened at the theaters, but not a single one left a deep impression on the audience.
