Chapter 1143: Chapter 1146: International Call for Help, That Person Returns to the Country Chapter 1143: Chapter 1146: International Call for Help, That Person Returns to the Country The Gray family was not top-rated in the Easternian entertainment industry, and most of the capable actors and production teams had departed due to Rowena Gray's difficulties.
Now, even with money, the Gray family might not necessarily be able to produce a blockbuster.
Yet, to maintain a firm standing in the industry, the Gray family must rely on its own capabilities to produce another major film.
“Mr. Gray, no matter how much money you invest, without a core big name or a leading director, our project won't stand up. The industry has changed from what it was before; there are too many wealthy bosses and nouveau riches. The entertainment industry is booming, with a surge of capital entering this field. What is lacking isn't money, but resources and branding!”
Lily knew Director Hamilton's words were true.
Gray family originally had a rising director like Skye Brown, and with collaborations with the Wellington family backed by Bastion, they could cooperate with the two top companies despite their own shortage of resources.
But Aidan Lucas had already clearly stated that he did not want to help the Gray family anymore.
And Lily, who was clear about the separation of personal and official matters, would not ask again since Aidan Lucas had refused once; she only wanted to support the Gray family by herself.
“But Director Hamilton, if the Gray family continues to serve others as it does now, it's ultimately not a long-term strategy. I think we should still invest in a new film, at least to show the outside world that the Gray family still has the capacity to produce good films.”
“Ah, I know, I know,” Director Hamilton hesitated. “But even if you, Mr. Gray, have the capital, what about the people? With our current company lineup, I'm afraid it won't work…”
The most attractive projects in the past few years at the Gray family were those prepared by Director Skye Brown.
Under her name, many actors and staff were willing to participate.
But after Skye Brown left, the slightly famous actors the Gray family had left, leaving only some old actors with skills but no fame.
“I already have an idea about this matter. Director Hamilton, I'll contact you again once I've made arrangements here.”
“Then you just handle it, Mr. Gray, but I'll remind you to hurry. The Gray family… can't wait much longer.”
After ending the call with Director Hamilton, Lily sat alone at her desk, deep in thought.
It was only after a long time that she finally made a decision.
A cross-country call was made directly to Europe.
She needed someone's support.

The next day, Lily didn't receive the person she was waiting for; instead, an unexpected visitor arrived.
“Richard Coldwell, why have you come?”
Seeing the suddenly appearing indifferent man, Lily was relieved that Emily Taylor was not at home at this time.
She had taken the two adorable twins out to play, who were recently getting along well with their grandmother.
Richard Coldwell's eyes were cold, seemingly in a bad mood, “I came to find you, to fulfill a promise.”
“To fulfill a promise…” Lily reflected, “you mean, the promise to pretend to be your fiancee?”
“Hmm.” The man nodded, his indifferent face becoming even colder.
Lily suddenly felt troubled.
Though initially, it was she who had asked Richard Coldwell and agreed to his request.
But now, she had already cleared things up completely with Aidan Lucas, to meet others under the guise of being Richard Coldwell's fiancee would be…
Ricard Coldwell seemed to see through her thoughts, his voice cold: “Your promise relates to the honor of the Reddington family. I hope you will not bring humiliation to the Reddington family.”
“Of, of course not.”
“That's best.” The man nodded, his firm jawline tense, “Come with me.”
“Now?” So soon?
Richard Coldwell, who had already turned to leave, suddenly stopped, looked sideways at Lily.
After a few seconds, he spoke in an icy voice devoid of any warmth: “Change into a skirt and remember to put on makeup.”
Though Lily was already beautiful without makeup, a slight touch would make her look even more attractive.
