    Chapter 218 Arranged Marriage


    Ava bristled at Joseph’sment, feeling her nerves being rubbed raw. Indignantly, she hissed,” Is this


    how you train your employees?”


    Joseph did not even spare her a nce. He scanned the lobby, taking in the scene, and asked, ”


    What’s going on here?”


    Lucas turned his head and quietly exined the situation.


    “Remove them from the premises,” Josephmanded.


    “But they’ve already paid for the location, and breaching the contract would require triple


    compensation…”


    “Do we not have enough money to pay for it?” Joseph asked, his voice indifferent.


    “Understood, Mr. Joseph.”


    After giving the order, Joseph and Alexander entered the elevator together.


    Lucas called the security guards to disperse the crew.


    “We’ve already paid for the location. You can’t do this to us. It’s against the rules,” the producer


    objected


    With a polite smile, Lucas responded, “Ourpany willpensate for the location fee ording to


    the stipted penalty in the contract.”


    “But we haven’t finished filming yet. The actors and staff have put in tremendous effort. Let’s try to


    understand each other now.”


    Lucas remained resolute and said, “I apologize for the inconvenience, but there are certain individuals


    whom Mr. Joseph does not favor.”


    The producer’s face turned livid, and he angrily turned his head to re at Ava, who was arrogantly


    lecturing Wyatt. He was so furious that he immediately called Calvin. Having been in the entertainment


    industry for many years, the producer had an impressive status and was not afraid of these starlets


    who relied on connections.


    Calvin received the call while he was with Noah Gunter, who gestured for him to answer the call. When


    he saw it was the producer calling, he thought it was work-rted and put the call on speaker.


    The producer briefly exined the situation, maintaining a rtively polite tone, but there was an


    underlying tone ofint. “Mr. Calvin, there are so many people in my crew. It’s not just my efforts


    that have been wasted. Money is a minor issue. The real problem is finding a suitable recement


    location on such short notice. This is really difficult to handle.”


    Calvin had interacted with this producer before and knew he was a straightforward man who spoke his


    mind without reservation. After understanding the situation, he immediately apologized on behalf of


    Ava.


    Calvin’s sigh resonated with a sense of helplessness. “Ava is nothing like Luciana,” hemented.


    Noah chuckled softly in agreement. “Bringing her into the entertainment industry was a mistake.


    Grandpa and Grandma never favored suchplex environments.”


    Calvin could not help but agree with Noah’s assessment, realizing the truth in his words. However, the


    realization came toote. Looking back, Calvin remembered how he had ventured into the


    entertainment industry, a decision that had caused Luciana’s parents to view him as unreliable and


    reject his pursuit of her. And now, caught up in a moment of excitement, he had unwittingly dragged


    their granddaughter into the sameplex world.

    Noah shook his head, unwilling to provide advice for him.


    “Come on, I did share Ava’s news with you. Don’t turn your back on me,” Calvin pleaded.


    “For now, I prefer not to see Ava,” Noah responded calmly.


    Calvin’s square face hardened, appearing quite intimidating. “Are you afraid she’llpete with you for


    assets? Don’t forget, you two were betrothed to each other since childhood. Why worry about such


    matters since you’re family?”


    The rapid rise of the Sullivan family as the foremost jewelry merchant in Docwood within a span of just


    over twenty years wasrgely attributed to their encounter with a trustworthy partner- Noah’s


    grandfather. Starting from working with raw materials to crafting exquisite jewelry and expanding their


    presence through physical stores nationwide, the two families had transcended numerous social strata.


    However, the good times did notst long. Noah’s grandfather had tragically passed away in a car


    ident. To ensure his dear friend’s peace of mind, Dominic Sullivan promised to raise Noah as his


    own and vowed that if they ever located his granddaughter, a marriage would be arranged between the


    two, binding them together as one family.


    And now, Noah held forty percent of thepany shares. As a young man in his early twenties who


    had not even graduated from college, he possessed wealth that ordinary people would not achieve in


    several lifetimes.


    Noah smiled, his clear and innocent gaze belying his mischievous words. “I just feel that the


    granddaughter whom Grandpa and Grandma have been talking about for half a lifetime still needs


    some polishing. Listening to that earlier call, what stood out to me was her reckless actions and self-


    centered attitude. Can someone like that truly possess the ability to effectively oversee an entire


    company?”
