Hollywood What If

Chapter 75

[Author's note: The first part may be unnecessary, but I already wrote it... Anyway, this chapter was actually written three months ago, and there are almost 100 advanced chapters on my Pat reon. If you're interested, you might want to check it out].

"Your Honor. I'm the innocent one here. I never cheated, I was the one who was cheated on. Why is my ex-wife entitled to half of my assets?"

Kazir Grey was emaciated with dark circles around his eyes. He tried to plead with the jury, but the process was never on his side. 

"The court system always favors women because that is the way it is." The judge said. 

"Are you serious? Is this even a real trial? How can you say that? This is not how a trial should be conducted. I demand a proper verdict!"

"Your Honor, I don't think Kazir Grey has the right to speak. He doesn't respect you at all." Cassandra's lawyer tried to stop Kazir from speaking. 

"Objection, Your Honor, my client has a right to speak." Terrence Howard stood up to defend his client. 

"Well, as the judge of this court. I must say that I believe all women because they are always right. Now, Mr. Kazir Grey, you must give Cassandra Hoecrap half of your savings. And you will give her the house. That's it, case closed."

"..."

"This is stupidity! I bet that bitch is sucking the judge's dick or something!"

Even Terrence Howard felt that the whole trial was a circus. From the beginning, the judge favored Cassandra. 

The hearing was over and Kazir was left standing defeated. 

He heard his ex-wife giggling. He turned to find Cassandra approaching him. 

"Did you see what happened? That's what you deserve for trying to defend yourself. Oh, by the way, Kazir... We actually had a baby, but I got rid of it just to spite you. I also fucked Carl Morin. Fufu, your expression is so cute."

"What did you say? I'M ASKING YOU, WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"Fufu, you heard me right. I don't want a child from a weak man like you. See you later, I hope you keep the house clean because I'm going to sell it."

Kazir stared at the woman with deep hatred. He clenched his fists in anger and swore in the courtroom. He thought the devil was not real, but Cassandra Hoecrap was the definition of evil. 

......

...

...

"I can't believe I've come to the point where I can forgive her."

Kazir muttered as he looked out the window. He was over 50 years old when he was reincarnated in 1994. In that time, Kazir had matured and his hatred for his ex-wife had disappeared. What happened back then was nothing but painful memories, and it made him a better person. 

He was still sad about the child he never saw, but it had been more than 3 decades. He had already moved on and accepted the truth. 

He could not stop it because it was already too late. 

His feelings towards Cassandra were nothing. She was just a stranger to him.

What happened to her was none of his business. 

"Kazir, we are here."

Salvatore Barlowe told him and Kazir returned to reality. 

"Let's go."

The two left the car and entered the Warner Brothers headquarters. 

On the way into the building, Kazir recognized a certain person. In fact, he paused just to make sure he wasn't seeing the wrong person. 

"Hello, Mr. Neeson." 

Kazir made the first move and greeted the actor.

"I'm sorry, are you...?"

Liam Neeson hadn't expected someone to come up and greet him. Judging by the man's demeanor, he was a confident guy. But Liam didn't know him. 

"I'm Kazir Grey. I directed Napoleon Dynamite and The Hangover."

"So you're Director Grey. It's nice to meet you."

Liam Neeson knew of Kazir, but he had never met him. Liam was a man who rarely appeared in public. He was always quiet about his life.

The two shook hands and smiled at each other. 

Liam Neeson visited Warner Bros because of his movie about Michael Collins. It was a biographical movie with Liam Neeson in the lead. It had a budget of 25 million dollars. Yes, it had a smaller budget than The Hangover. Even Liam Neeson's salary was never more than $3 million. 

After the success of Schindler's List, Liam Neeson got many roles, but none of them brought him success... 

Kazir Grey and Liam Neeson talked for a few seconds before Kazir excused himself. 

'Looks like we already met the protagonist.'

Kazir grinned. Liam's age was 44, and that was the right age for Bryan Mills, a former government agent.

'When Taken was first filmed, Liam Neeson was already 56. It was hard for him to do the stunts. But this time it's different. It's the best age for Liam Neeson to play a retired agent.'

If Kazir was honest. He liked the Taken franchise. 

'If there's one action movie I like when I was old, it's probably John Wick, but Taken is my number two. Jason Bourne is third and Fast and Furious is fourth.'

"Salvatore, I heard Liam Neeson is a client of CAA."

"That's right. Liam Neeson's agent is Chris Andrews. Why did you ask?"

"Nothing, I'm just glad to hear it. At least the negotiations will not be complicated since Liam and I are both clients of CAA."

"Wait, you don't mean...?"

Salvatore Barlowe narrowed his eyes. 

"That's right. Once the project starts, I want to invite Liam Neeson to play the lead."

"I'll try to contact Chris Andrews."

"Yes. I don't want to experience what happened last time with Ed Helms. William Morris Agency is really trying to interfere with my movie schedule as much as possible."

If that continued, Kazir would only choose actors from CAA. At least they won't complicate things for him.

'I give them roles after all.'

"Kazir, don't forget your promise. You will cast Enzo and one of my clients in your movie."

"No problem. But they have to audition first. If their looks and acting don't meet the criteria, I'll have to turn them down."

"I'll talk to them about it."

"Good."

The two entered the elevator.
