Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Chapter 493



Stephanie laughed, "That's too kind of you, director! I should be the one toasting you! A hardworking director like you is a rare breed in the industry! I really admire you! Here, I'll toast to you!" Ashley chuckled, "Sure, Mr. Finnegan has a bit of a temper, but his movies are absolutely top-notch!"

"Having the praise of a leading lady like Ashley really makes my day! Just think, back in the day, we were all newbies... you were a beginner actress, Gracie was a greenhorn agent, and I was just some guy... The only exception was Maximus, who was like a chicken on steroids, rising so fast and becoming the youngest Best Actor!"

Already quite drunk, Maximus waved his hands and said, "Nah, nah... I came from a modest background, so I was focused on making money, doing more films, building up my fame, and providing for a wife and kids. I mean, I couldn't let my poor circumstances make my wife suffer, right..."

"But you've made all this money... where's the wife?"

It was a joking question, but Maximus turned red-eyed and looked pained, "I messed up; my wife doesn't want me anymore..."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Gracie.

Gracie, with a face full of embarrassment, slumped onto the table.

It was clear she was drunk and clueless.

A drunk Maximus looked at Gracie sprawled on the table and lamented, "My wife hates me... she doesn't want me... I'll never get married..."

A feigning-drunk but still sober Gracie thought that if Maximus kept this up, she would fight with him tomorrow.

But Maximus just kept getting sadder.

"If I could do it all over again... I'd never make my wife angry... even if it meant the end of my acting career... I know I messed up; I really regret it..."

Mr. Finnegan and the others who knew some of the backstory felt complicated.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Mr. Finnegan sighed, "Gracie, stop pretending to be drunk... We all know how much you can drink! Even when Ashley didn't drink, you were the one who drank for her... You're infamous in the entertainment circle for your drinking capacity.

Gracie quietly got up from the table, rubbed her temples, and frowned,

"I'm

Yoeling a bit dizzy... I'll leave first, guys carry on."Congs

"My wife still doesn't want me..."

"Maximus, try talking nonsense again when you're drunk; I dare you!"

"My wife is angry..."

"Who's your wife? If you keep this up, I'll show you what's what!"

"You're my wife... you're the only one." A drunk Maximus pointed to his eyes and heart.

Gracie took a deep breath and said, "I'm feeling dizzy; I need to go."

With that, she picked up her bag to leave.

Maximus quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and clung to her leg, "Darling, don't go... I messed up; I really did. Can't you forgive me just this once? I won't do it again... It be the man you want... I'll treat

you well as you want, just like family, okay..."

You must admit, men can look pretty pitiful when drunk.

After all, Maximus was once the youngest Best Actor!

And there he was, kneeling on the ground without hesitation. His dignity wholly thrown to the wind.
