Chapter 178 Chapter 178 A SchWithin a SchContents belong to It went without saying that Director Lewis was interested. However, he was not interested in the poker gbut Jean. Thus, Gigi gave him the address and went out to call Andy. "Helpwith something tonight." Jean headed straight to a cyber café after she left. She edited the recording and sent them to the paparazzi. However, the paparazzi lost interest when they saw the recordings concerned Gigi.
"She is not popular in the entertainment circle. It won't cause much stir even if I publish this." After all, it was common for an actress to dine with a director.
"What if there is something else?" Jean arched an eyebrow and quickly replied, "I will give you explosive news material with pictures latest by tonight." Then, Jean lingered around the area for the whole afternoon. She waited for Gigi to make her move. Suddenly, a black car parked before her, prompting her to becalert.
Soon, the door opened, and a lean and tall man stepped out. Despite the sunglasses covering his eyes, Jean saw that his face seemed familiar. Jean continued to observe closely but did not say anything.
On the other hand, the man smiled and offered his hand. "Ms. Eyer, I'm Andy Shaw from Royden Group. I believe we have met before at a wedding." It was Jean and Edgar's wedding. Jean raised her eyebrow. It's him? Gigi's secret helper and lover turns out to be Edgar's business partner! Jean controlled her emotions and shook Andy's hand. "Are you here for a business matter?" Jean asked despite knowing the answer.
Andy narrowed his eyes and replied, "I'm here to see you, Ms. Eyer. I would like to discuss a potential business opportunity with you." "I'm now a nobody, so I don't have any business to discuss. Mr. Shaw, you're talking to the wrong person." Then, Jean pretended to leave.
However, Andy immediately blocked her way. "What if the business is to make Royden Group bankrupt?" Jean paused her step and turned to him with an ambivalent expression.
He is one of the partners of Royden Group and owns considerable shares in the company. I don't think he will ruin his fortune for Gigi's sake.
Does this mean he said that only to attract my interest? Jean appeared emotionless as she considered quickly.
No matter how I see it, Andy is not the kind of person who would give up his business for a woman, especially if that woman is pregnant with Edgar's child. Unless Andy is a lovesick idiot.
"Ms. Eyer, if you are interested, we can find a quiet spot to discuss further." Andy went to the car and opened the door for her.
Whatever his purpose is, he gavea reason I can't refuse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf I can find someone willing to collaborate withfrom inside the company, I should be able to bring down Royden Group soon.
Thus, Jean carried her bag and headed to the car.
Even though she knew it was a trap, she had no choice but to go along with it.
"Do you have any conflict with Edgar concerning the business?" Jean asked casually while looking at the scenery outside.
Andy smiled and replied, "You are astute, Ms. Eyer. In that case, there is no point in hiding. I will eventually go separate ways from Mr. Royden." Jean narrowed her eyes.
Andy was more difficult to read than she imagined.
"We have arrived. Please cthis way." Andy brought Jean to a high-end hotel.
He took out a golden card and seemed to know his way around the hotel.
Jean slipped her hand into her pocket.
Andy glanced at her. "Ms. Eyer, I've shown myself to you, so you can trust me. There is no need to record our conversation, isn't it?" Jean pretended to not understand. "What do you mean, Mr. Shaw?" "Your hand." Andy's voice turned cold as he took half a step forward. "You were going to record, weren't you?" Jean turned the pocket inside out, showing him that it was empty.
Andy was stunned.
"Mr. Shaw, if you don't trust me, we have nothing to say." Jean made the move to leave.
That prompted Andy to apologize immediately. "I was wrong, Ms. Eyer. Please cthis way." He appeared friendly, but at the stime, he kept observing Jean's every gesture to determine whether she was up to something.
Jean avoided his hand and said firmly, "Mr. Shaw, if you are insincere about the collaboration, I have no reason to head upstairs with you. I don't want to cause a rumor and affect Royden Group's reputation.” "Please don't be angry, Ms. Eyer. We want the sthing, so I would like to introduce to you a few of my friends who can help you." Jean glanced at him suspiciously but decided to follow him.
It was six o'clock in the evening.
Director Lewis cto the hotel lobby at the appointed time, but Gigi was nowhere to be found.
He grew impatient from waiting.
"Director Lewis, this is the card for your room." Linda obtained the card from the hotel's reception counter and handed it to Director Lewis. Then, she lowered her voice and continued, "She is waiting for you in the room." Director's expression calmed down slightly.
"That's much better. Tell Gigi the third female lead role is hers. She can cto the film set next week." Linda replied with a delighted smile, "Yes, I will. I hope you have a good time, Director Lewis." Then, Director Lewis carried his pot belly and walked into the elevator.
He soon arrived at room number 1807.
Director Lewis was in a good mood and hummed as he swiped the card to open the door.
"Ms. Eyer, I...” He fell silent as he saw the dark room. None of the lights were on.
When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could vaguely make out a figure lying in bed.
Director Lewis took off his jacket impatiently and jumped onto the bed. However, he discovered that the figure was not Jean but a man.
"Argh! Pervert!" The man shouted. His body was full of muscles.
Director Lewis was stunned. "Who... Who are you?" Click.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe lights in the room con instantly. At the stime, Jean walked in from outside with a camera.
She waved her hand at Director Lewis. "Director Lewis, we meet again." Director Lewis immediately understood what was going on.
"You work together to trick me!"
"No, no. It's not like that. Gigi planned everything." Jean smiled andom continued, "Remember to air your grievances to her." Director Lewis' expression blanched, and he glared at her furiously.
"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect a famous director like you to have such a If preference. If reporters from major ence. newspapers find out about this, I'm sure you will beceven more famous." Director Lewis stood up urgently to snatch her camera.
However, the bodyguard, who had just put his clothes back, restrained him immediately.
The bodyguard twisted Director Lewis' arm behind his back, causing him to scream in pain.
"Do you want the recording? Sure, I can give it to you. I can even give you the original and only copy. However, mły Condition is that you must let Gigi be the female lead of your film." As I thought! That b*tch Gigi is behind this! "Do you disagree? I will distribute it now." "No! I agree to your condition!" Director Lewis had no choice but to agree.
Jean smiled and tossed the camera to him. "It's nice doing business with you, Director Lewis." Then, Jean left the room. She did not leave the hotel but went into the room next door.
Andy was lying unconscious in there.
Jean glanced at the time. "That person should be here soon." Ding dong.
He's here already?
