While eating, Franklin naturally put away his phone.

Jasper watched it, sensing something wrong.

Only then did he realize Franklin purposely showed off to him, feelingslightly depressed.

“Mr. Maskelyne, how could you do it? You haven't remarried MissAndrews yet. Stop showing off! Is it so funny to do PDA?" Jasperthought.

In the president's office of Wilson Group, Mrs. Carson sat on the sofaholding Clark's hand, her eyes reddish, and said sincerely, "Clark, sinceyour mother passed away, I've been missing her. Last night, she was inmy dream and asked me to check on you."

"What do you want, Aunt? Go straight to the point,” Clark repliedexpressionlessly.

He had stopped treasuring the family affection long ago.

Besides, he knew Mrs. Carson had come over for something.Although she was his aunt, she seldom contacted him.

In recent years, the Carson family gained an excellent reputation due toAldo's position in the fire department.

Therefore, they looked down on Clark, for he had been too ruthless."Well... Nothing serious. I want to invest in a movie, Carson Grouplacks funds recently, so I wonder if you are interested in theinvestment.”

Mrs. Carson wiped her tears, wearing a flattering smile.

"Oh, really?" Clark lifted an eyebrow without any interest.

From time to time, Wilson Group also invested in some soap operas ormovies, but unlike Maskelyne Group, they didn't run a specificentertainment company.

Mrs. Carson could tell he wasn't appealed, but she added, "If the movieis released, it'll become popular. The playscript was written by the wifeof the most famous director, Roland Simon. Roland Simon will directthe movie in person. The leading roles will be played by actors andactresses with large fan bases. Would you like to read the playscriptfirst?"

Clark had heard of Roland before. He was a talented director and woninternational prizes when he was young.

"Where is the playscript?"

"Here you go." Mrs. Carson immediately pulled out a playscript fromher bag and passed it to him. "It's romance. An angel fell from Heaven,and so did the demon. Youngsters love this kind of story, and they arethe major consumers in the movie industry. Let's hype up the newsbetween the leading roles and make some rumors. The movie willdefinitely become popular.”

Clark cast down his eyes and turned the first page.

He thought it was not bad to invest in a movie.

With a ghost of a smile on his lips, he turned the pages at random. "Iagree with you, Aunt. The production team and director have goodreputations. This one should become a blockbuster. However, I have acondition.”

His words lit up Mrs. Carson's eyes. She asked, "What condition?"Clark's smile became broader, his eyes glittering with shrewdness."The distribution and production rights of this movie shall belong tome."

"Clark? You mean..." Mrs. Carson was shocked.

She realized that she couldn't take any advantage of Clark.

However, she indeed lacked the money.

Although Carson Group had a good reputation, they lacked the workingcapital to let her invest in the movie.

Mrs. Carson used to work in the entertainment business. After winningthe award for the best actress, she resigned and became a housewife.In the past decades, she worked as a producer and participated in soapoperas that were not popular. This would be the first time sheparticipated in a movie.

If the movie became a blockbuster, she would be recognized as anexcellent producer in the industry.

"Aunt, you are a producer. Wilson Group will be the production issuer,which has no conflict against you. You still have a lot of rights,” Clarkcoaxed her, "Especially, don't you think working with me is much betterthan working with others?"

"How much can you invest, Clark,” Mrs. Carson gritted her teeth andasked.

"It's a romance movie, so I'll invest 100 million dollars. What aboutyou?" Clark's words were like a bombshell to Mrs. Carson.

"100 million dollars?" She had thought Clark would be generousenough if he was willing to invest 10 million dollars.

"Right. I know Carson Group will also sponsor this movie." Clark smiledat her, but the smile didn't touch his eyes. "How much does CarsonGroup plan to invest?"

Mrs. Carson blushed in embarrassment. "We can only invest 50 milliondollars.

The gap between Carson Group and Wilson Group or MaskelyneGroup had become bigger and bigger.

"Don't worry, Aunt. We're family. I'll help you if you need." Clark pattedMrs. Carson's hand. “In the future, if you need more money, feel free tolet me know. I have extra working capital. When will the filming start?""Next Friday is a good day,” Mrs. Carson answered awkwardly. Clarkwas known as a heartless businessman. However, he was too kind toher. Mrs. Carson couldn't help wondering what was on his mind andwhat he planned to gain from this movie.

She was no longer naive or straightforward, so she wouldn't think Clarkdid it only because he had seen the potential of this movie in themarket.

However, she couldn't do anything when facing the cruel reality.

She had to work with Clark.

"Not bad. Wish everything goes smoothly. I'll let my finance departmentcontact you about the fund.” Clark stared at her expressionlessly, hisfeminine-looking steely.

Mrs. Carson was joyful as she had gained the investment from Clark,but she was worried for some reason.

That evening, the movie appeared on Twitter trends. "Roland Simon,the talented director, will soon direct a new movie."

"When an angel and a demon are in love, which one do you prefer?""Shipping Gianna Krause and Zane Holt."

Three topics of the movie occupied the trends.

The actress of the female lead, Gianna Krause, was a young actresswith a large fan base. After filming a campus romance drama, shebecame famous.

However, this would also be her first time performing in a movie.

The actor for the male lead, Zane Holt, was handsome and bright. Heused to be in a music band in Hayaland and had just returned to Larro.His topics frequently appeared on Twitter trends, and he had manyromantic rumors with countless female superstars.

Now he coupled with Gianna to hype up the news for the new movie.The trend topics instantly attracted many people's attention.

The netizens commented on the news and celebrated their idols.Meanwhile, Brock was browsing the news on Twitter while munchingsome potato chips in a shabby house.

After reading the introduction of Roland's new movie, he tossed hisphone away and sneered.

Then he picked up a playscript and studied it.

Roland's new movie was just a fast-food commercial romance. Brockdidn't think it could be compared to his playscript.

The longer he studied the playscript, the more upset he became.

For some reason, he plucked up his courage and dialed the number ofthe woman who had sent him the playscript the other day.

However, her phone was powered off.

Brock thought he had dialed the wrong number, so he called her againbut failed to reach her.

Disappointed, he tossed his phone away, sitting on the bench insilence.

That woman should be a liar, right?

She made a fool of him on purpose.

Earlier, he had been hesitant, wondering if he should trust her.However, he couldn't reach her on the phone after he had decided totrust her.

His reputation had been ruined because of his deeds in the past.Therefore, he didn't think anyone would hire him to film a movieanymore.

He snorted, thinking dreams were just games for the wealthy. Heheaved a sigh.

The next second, he grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table andwanted to gulp the liquid down.

However, the bottle was empty.
