THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT CHAPTER 27
Michael Clarkson was a top film director in Crenshaw city. He was more than delighted when he heard that Asher Knight was going to back his new project and insisted that Martha was to be the lead actress. Michael was the director of the movie Martha got the role for a while ago, However, due to pressure from Grey Industries to back out from investing in their movie, he had no choice but to give the role to Sophia. He had always felt bad about taking that role away from Martha but with Asher Knight backing him, he didn’t have to cower before Sophia anymore. Martha couldn’t hide her excitement when Michael was on the other end of the phone informing her she was the lead actress for his new movie. “Really?I’ve been chosen for the role?” “Yes. You are a brilliant actress and I couldn’t think of a better person to work with. Do you think you can come in to the set tomorrow?” he replied. “Of course sir! I will be there. Thank you so much. I promise I won’t let you down.” Mar
THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT CHAPTER 28
Michael maintained a serious expression. “Yes. I’m sure. You can leave.” Sophia frowned. “You’re going to regret this.” She stormed out of the park feeling humiliated. She couldn’t believe Michael had the audacity to talk to her so rudely in front of everyone. “Mother, you won’t believe what just happened,” Sophia hissed into her phone. “Michael Clarkson is shooting a new movie, and he gave the lead role to that Martha girl. He’s completely ignoring our influence!” Fiona’s voice was calm but firm. “What? Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. I'll make sure he gives you the role.” Sophia smirked. She loved it when her mother stepped in. No one who ever dared to cross them got away with it. Meanwhile, back at the park, Martha was still in shock. She had fully expected Sophia to swoop in and steal the role, just like she always did. But this time, the director had surprisingly stood his ground. As the crew prepared for the next scene, Michael approached Martha with a r
THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT CHAPTER 29
On set, Martha was still adjusting to the reality of her new role. She still couldn't believe she was the lead actress for such a huge movie. Everything felt so unreal. She was busy practicing for the next scene when the production assistant rushed in with a pale look on his face. "Director! We have a problem!" Michael looked up startled. "What is it?" "The filming permits…" The assistant swallowed hard. "They've been revoked. Effective immediately." Gasps rippled through the set. Martha's heart pounded. She knew that Sophia was somehow responsible for this. Michael clenched his jaw. He expected Fiona would retaliate in some way, but he hadn’t expected her to move this fast. Before he could respond, another assistant rushed in. "Sir, Chairman Lee just pulled out his funding the project. He’s telling other investors to do the same." Martha’s stomach dropped. The Grey family were trying to destroy the movie before it even started. Sophia arrived just in time to witness

Michael was seated in his office when a number flashed across his screen. “Mr Knight. I had begun to worry you wouldn't call.” “Just like you said, Fiona got involved. She got the investors to pull out and revoked our permits.” Michael explained. William chuckled. “Don't worry about her. I will be funding the project all by myself. As for the permits, I've made some calls and they will be restored immediately.” “Thank you sir.” Michael said with the sound of relief in his voice. “Remember, no one should know for now that I am the one backing this movie.” William added with a stern tone. “Of course sir.” Michael responded before ending the call. Within the day, the movie was back on track. All the permits were restored and production resumed. In the coming weeks, the popularity of Michael's upcoming movie kept rising. Everyone was talking about it. Especially about Martha who was the main attraction. Sophia could hardly bear it. All of her mother's attempts to stall t

Humiliated, Sophia ran out of the room. Michael was speechless as he watched the scene. He looked at Martha a bit surprised. “Wow… I didn’t see that coming.” Martha shrugged. “She needed someone to teach her a lesson and I'm glad I did." All attempts by Fiona and Sophia to sabotage the move failed. Production was completed and it ended up being a huge blockbuster. It also cemented Martha's place as an A-list actress. Soon it was time for the Emerald Acting Awards, and Sophia saw it as an opportunity to get back at Michael and Martha. The Emerald Awards were the pinnacle of recognition in the film industry. Every year, the best actors and actresses came together waiting to see who would walk away with the prestigious awards. For Sophia, this was going to be her night. She had already boasted to everyone that she was going to win the Best Actress award. She had made sure to bribe the judges to vote in her favour. Sophia walked onto the red carpet wearing a flashy
THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT CHAPTER 32
Sophia turned sharply at the sound of the familiar voice. "William?" her eyes widened in shock. William stood there with his hands in his pocket. "That’s right. I made sure the award wouldn’t be given to a cheater like you." He said calmly. Sophia let out a mocking laugh. “You? Who do you think you are to influence the judges?” William stepped forward, closing the space between them. “Oh. Why don't you tell her?” he said, turning his attention to the judge. The judge hesitated before speaking. “The committee was persuaded to do the right thing.” Sophia raised an eyebrow. “Persuaded? That doesn't answer my question!” William chuckled, shaking his head. "You bribed them. I simply reminded them what would happen if they accepted dirty money." Sophia twitched, but quickly scoffed trying to sound composed. “I don't know what you are talking about.” William folded his hands across his chest. “Oh really?” He pulled out his phone and sent something to Sophia. “Check y

Sophia paced around her room impatiently. She clenched her phone so tightly that her knuckles went white. Media outlets had already published articles about how she admitted that Martha was a better actress than her. A knock sounded on the door. “Come in.” she snapped. A slim man wearing glasses walked into the room hesitantly. “Miss Sophia” he greeted cautiously. “Did you get what I asked?” Sophia demanded. The man nodded. “Yes, but Miss Sophia, are you sure about this? If this goes wrong…” Sophia cut him off. “Listen, your job isn't to question me. You do what I pay you for and shut up.” The man handed a tablet over to her. She smiled wickedly as she scrolled through. “Yes. This is very good.” Sophia picked up her phone and anonymously messaged the top gossip reporters in Crenshaw city. "I have a juicy story for you all. A rising actress who isn’t as innocent as she pretends to be. Interested?" Within seconds, replies flooded in. "Depends on what you have."

“I promise I'm going to get to the bottom of this and if it turns out to be Sophia, I'm going to make sure to expose her for everyone to see.” William assured Martha. “Call Roland,” William said, giving an audio command to his phone. The phone rang once before Roland answered. “Hello sir.” “Roland. I need you to analyze the photos of Martha and Michael. Find out who created them.” “Yes sir. I'll get right on it.” Martha glanced at William with uncertainty. “Where are we going?” “I'm talking you to my place. You can lay low there for now, at least until we can take care of this.” Soon they arrived at William's penthouse apartment. He led the way inside, looking around to make sure none of the reporters had followed them. William escorted her into one of the guest rooms. “You can stay here. No one will disturb you. I'll be in the other room if you need me.” “Thank you so much.” Martha said softly. About an hour later, Roland returned with news about the images. He

William's car engine roared as he drove into the parking lot of his penthouse apartment. He was quickly met by Roland who was waiting just outside. “Where is she?” William asked impatiently. "She's in the living room waiting for you." Roland responded. William sighed. “Okay. Did she by any chance see Martha? I don't want her dragged into this in any way.” "No. I told Miss Martha to stay in as you're having a very important meeting." Roland responded. "Good." William and Natasha knew each other from his time in the Legolas army. Natasha was one of General Ryker's most trusted intelligence operatives. However, this visit wasn't about old memories. The general had sent her for a reason. Natasha sat with her feet crossed having a drink when William walked into the room. “William! It's been too long. The general sends his regards.” she said with a light tone. William smiled. “It's not even been up to a year. Did you miss me that much?” “Let me guess. He wants you to bab

William swallowed hard. Was she on to him? He slowly turned around trying to keep a composed face. “What do you mean?” Sophia narrowed her eyes as she walked closer to him. “It's your glasses." she said as she tilted her head. "I thought they used to be round? You've always worn round glasses.” William stomach tightened. He had put on his special glasses for recording and forgot that Leblanc didn't wear square shaped glasses. “Oh.” William chuckled nervously rubbing the back of his neck “Just wanted to try something different.” Sophia stared for a second longer before shrugging lazily. “Hmmm…Alright. You may leave.” She said dismissively before returning back to her phone. William exhaled sharply the moment he stepped out. Next, he had to figure out the perfect way to expose the video of Sophia confessing. Sophia's birthday was coming up and she always loved to throw big parties where she would host popular names from all over. William decided that that would be t

“Yes.” William replied. “ His name is Leblanc. He works for the Grey family, and there's no way he's going to admit that Sophia sent him, he's way too loyal.” “So how do we prove that this was Sophia's doing?” Roland asked. William's voice lowered. Is Project Chameleon finally ready for launch? Roland's eyes widened. “You mean….” A wicked smirk formed on William's lips. “Yes, I'm going to beat Sophia at her own game.” Project Chameleon was a secret high tech project being carried out by Knight Industries. They had been working on a highly sophisticated AI mask that made it possible for the wearer to assume any face they wanted. It even had the ability to change the voice of the person who was wearing it. William had been planning to use it for something else, but because of this, he was going to use it early. “So you're going to act as Leblanc?” Roland asked. “Yes. I'm going to trick Sophia into confessing that she was responsible for those images.” William replied.
