Chapter 282
In anger, Rnd asked Brock, "Brock, you were an excellent student at university and always won
schrships. Shall wepete for the box office of our movies this time?"
Brock thought he was too bored. However, his unpleasant days over the years were all caused by
Rnd''s conspiracy. The scumbag had stolen everything from him and ruined his family.
The thought sent him into a rage.
Brock asked without hesitation, "What will you do if my box office''s record is higher?"
"If so, I... I''ll quit being a director and resign from the entertainment business," Rnd squeezed words
between his teeth. He didn''t believe Brock would make an excellent movie after stopping filming for so
many years.
"If your box office''s record is higher, I''ll also resign and nevere back," Brock replied coldly. Anyway,
he had lost a lot of things, and he wouldn''t mind risking everything.
The reporters enjoyed watching the fun, recording everything they said.
Rnd red at Brock angrily, wishing to skin him alive.
In his opinion, Brock had been defeated by him. However, he bounced back.
Although Rnd despised Brock, he had to admit he was indeed pissed.
Since Brock''s startup ceremony ended earlier, the reporters officially interviewed Rnd''s team,
including Gianna and Zane. Nothing exciting happened.
Clearly, the reporters were absentminded.
When it was noon, they posted the reports on different tforms.
"Two startup ceremonies. The battle between university ssmates. Who do you prefer, Brock Dav
and Rnd Simon?"
"The director who giarized bounced back. His actress is a neer."
"Eden West''s first movie. Will you support him?"
"Brock Dav hired a green hand for his female leading role."
All the Twitter trends were about Brock and his new movie, attracting theizens'' attention.
Rnd seethed with rage. When he scrolled down the trending list, he finally saw the topic "Angel and
Demon on Earth", but it was because of his bet with Brock.
A few weeks ago, he had hyped up his movie on Twitter. However, no one paid attention to his movie''s
startup ceremony.
Instead, they all focused on Brock. Rnd boiled over with anger.
He still hadn''t known that he would be angrier shortly after.
...
Sitting in theb, Sylvia browsed the news on her tablet.
"The movie is surprisingly eye-catching." Logan passed her a te of sliced fruit and sat next to her.
Sylvia picked up a strawberry and ate it. "Brock Dav directed a movie again, so it must be eye-
catching. Many people will pay attention to him."
Logan looked hesitant. "Boss, I wonder if I should tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Mr. Maskelyne added 300 million dors to the movie."
Sylvia''s hand holding the strawberry stiffened. In disbelief, she stared at him. "What are you talking
about?"
Logan had to bite the bullet and tell her the investment in detail.
"Is he nuts?" Sylvia frowned. She picked up her phone and dialed Franklin''s number.
She seldom took the initiative to call him.
In the ward of the hospital opposite, when Franklin saw her iing call, he smiled. His intense eyes
lit up.
"Hello."
Sylvia heard him answer the call, his voice low and mellow, sending a brisk thrill coursing through her
veins.
Her ears reddened. Sylvia almost dropped her phone.
After taking a deep breath, she asked, "Are you nuts? Why did you invest 300 million dors in my
movie?"
"Your movie?" Franklin felt disappointed once he realized Sylvia was talking business with him.
He replied unhappily, "I want to invest in your movie. Can''t I do it?"
''Mr. Maskelyne, you sounded like a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler,'' Jasper''s inner voiceined.
"That''s too much." Sylvia wondered what was on his mind. "Brock asked me for 300 million dors
because the money could cover all the movie''s expenses. Why did you add another 300 million? I
know you are wealthy, but we don''t need that much money."
"Sweetie, you want to make your dreame true, so I must support you. It''s never verbal, and I must
do it practically," Franklin replied, his voice as pleasant as a cello.
Lying on the bed against a big pillow. Franklin imagined how touched Sylvia was after hearing his
words.
"I have money. I don''t need you to do it practically," Sylvia replied.
Her words abruptly brought Franklin out of his scattered thoughts.
He sighed helplessly as Sylvia was indeed independent and stubborn.
After ending the call, Franklin shook his head.
He recovered recently, so he could check out a few dayster.
However, the doctor reminded him to stay in bed for another few weeks before he fully recovered.
...
The night was deep.
Sylviay on the bed pretty early, closing her eyes.
She had taken the antidote to rid herself of Rejuvenator, so she needed plenty of rest.
It was almost midnight.
Suddenly, a tall, slender figure approached her bed slowly.
The man bowed his head, gazing at her face revealed from the thin quilt on the bed.
Her eyes were covered by her thick eyshes. Her red lips were juicy and appealing on her delicate
face.
After taking the antidote for a few days, Sylvia recovered well. She no longer looked as pale as before.

However, she has lost a lot of weight.
While sleeping, Sylvia sensed something wrong, as if she was being watched.
Frowning, she gradually opened her eyes and saw a handsome face in front of her.
Franklin was startled, seeing her wake up.
When he was wondering how to answer her questions to be asked, Sylvia rubbed her eyes dizzily and
muttered, "s... Why do I dream of Franklin again?"
''Again? Has she dreamed of me before?''
Franklin felt pleased with this thought.
Franklin was overjoyed as his beloved woman missed him.
Suddenly, Sylvia wrapped her fair arms around his neck and pulled him down. Franklin bent over,
clinging to her body.
They hadn''t had sex for a long time. His body tightened immediately, and he started panting.
Sylvia said softly, "It''s my dream. I can''t miss the opportunity to kiss him."
