Chapter 275
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, feeling slightly depressed.
''Mr. Maskelyne, how could you do it? You haven''t remarried Miss Andrews yet. Stop showing off! Is it
so funny to do PDA?'' Jasper thought.
...
In the president''s office of Wilson Group, Mrs. Carson sat on the sofa holding rk''s hand, her eyes
reddish, and said sincerely, "rk, since your mother passed away, I''ve been missing her. Last night,
she was in my dream and asked me to check on you."
"What do you want, Aunt? Go straight to the point," rk replied expressionlessly.
He had stopped treasuring the family affection long ago.
Besides, he knew Mrs. Carson hade over for something.
Although she was his aunt, she seldom contacted him.
In recent years, the Carson family gained an excellent reputation due to Aldo''s position in the fire
department.
Therefore, they looked down on rk, for he had been too ruthless.
"Well... Nothing serious. I want to invest in a movie, Carson Groupcks funds recently, so I wonder if
you are interested in the investment."
Mrs. Carson wiped her tears, wearing a ttering smile.
"Oh, really?" rk lifted an eyebrow without any interest.
From time to time, Wilson Group also invested in some soap operas or movies, but unlike Maskelyne
Group, they didn''t run a specific entertainmentpany.
Mrs. Carson could tell he wasn''t appealed, but she added, "If the movie is released, it''ll be
popr. The yscript was written by the wife of the most famous director, Rnd Simon. Rnd
Simon will direct the movie in person. The leading roles will be yed by actors and actresses with
rk had heard of Rnd before. He was a talented director and won international prizes when he
was young.
"Where is the yscript?"
"Here you go." Mrs. Carson immediately pulled out a yscript from her 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
are the major consumers in the movie industry. Let''s hype up the news between the leading roles and
make some rumors. The movie will definitely be popr."
rk 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. "I agree with you, Aunt. The
production team and director have good reputations. This one should be a blockbuster. However,
I have a condition."
His words lit up Mrs. Carson''s eyes. She asked, "What condition?"
rk''s smile became broader, his eyes glittering with shrewdness. "The distribution and production
rights of this movie shall belong to me."
"rk? You mean..." Mrs. Carson was shocked.
She realized that she couldn''t take any advantage of rk.
However, she indeedcked the money.
Although Carson Group had a good reputation, theycked the working capital to let her invest in the
movie.
Mrs. Carson used to work in the entertainment business. After winning the award for the best actress,
she resigned and became a housewife.
In the past decades, she worked as a producer and participated in soap operas that were not popr.
This would be the first time she participated in a movie.
If the movie became a blockbuster, she would be recognized as an excellent 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," rk coaxed her, "Especially, don''t you think working with me is
much better than working with others?"
"How much can you invest, rk," Mrs. Carson gritted her teeth and asked.
"It''s a romance movie, so I''ll invest 100 million dors. What about you?" rk''s words were like a
bombshell to Mrs. Carson.
"100 million dors?" She had thought rk would be generous enough if he was willing to invest 10
million dors.
"Right. I know Carson Group will also sponsor this movie." rk smiled at her, but the smile didn''t
touch his eyes. "How much does Carson Group n to invest?"
Mrs. Carson blushed in embarrassment. "We can only invest 50 million dors.
The gap between Carson Group and Wilson Group or Maskelyne Group had be bigger and
bigger.
"Don''t worry, Aunt. We''re family. I''ll help you if you need." rk patted Mrs. Carson''s hand. "In the
future, if you need more money, feel free to let me know. I have extra working capital. When will the
filming start?"
"Next Friday is a good day," Mrs. Carson answered awkwardly. rk was known as a heartless
businessman. However, he was too kind to her. Mrs. Carson couldn''t help wondering what was on his
mind and what he nned to gain from this movie.
She was no longer naive or straightforward, so she wouldn''t think rk did it only because he had
seen the potential of this movie in the market.
However, she couldn''t do anything when facing the cruel reality.
She had to work with rk.
"Not bad. Wish everything goes smoothly. I''ll let my finance department contact you about the fund."
rk stared at her expressionlessly, his feminine-looking steely.
Mrs. Carson was joyful as she had gained the investment from rk, but she was worried for some
reason.
That evening, the movie appeared on Twitter trends. "Rnd 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 upied the trends.
The actress of the female lead, Gianna Krause, was a young actress with arge fan base. After filming
a campus romance drama, she became 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. He used to be in a music band in
Haynd and had just returned to Larro.
His topics frequently appeared on Twitter trends, and he had many romantic 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.
Theizensmented on the news and celebrated their idols.
Meanwhile, Brock was browsing the news on Twitter while munching some potato chips in a shabby
house.
After reading the introduction of Rnd''s new movie, he tossed his phone away and sneered.
Then he picked up a yscript and studied it.
Rnd''s new movie was just a fast-foodmercial romance. Brock didn''t think it could bepared
to his yscript.
The longer he studied the yscript, the more upset he became.
For some reason, he plucked up his courage and dialed the number of the woman who had sent him
the yscript the other day.
However, her phone was powered off.
Brock thought he had dialed the wrong number, so he called her again but failed to reach her.
Disappointed, he tossed his phone away, sitting on the bench in silence.

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 to trust 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 movie anymore.
He snorted, thinking dreams were just games for the wealthy. He heaved a sigh.
The next second, he grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table and wanted to gulp the liquid down.
However, the bottle was empty.
