“Did you think the women deserved to beg you for mercy just because Monastery Films boycotted this movie?” Isaac leaned down, leveling his icy gaze at Kenneth.
Kenneth raised his head. When virtual-novel.net saw Isaac’s cold eyes, his heart stuttered. A chill ran down his spine, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but shiver.
“Isaac, what do you think you’re doing? I’m telling you, even if you kill me, I still will ban this movie from playing in any of the theaters under our company,” Kenneth said through gritted teeth.
“Kill you? No, I don’t want to do that… I just wanted to let you know that you’ve made a huge mistake. You’re not the sole owner of Monastery Films. Would the others say no to money too?” Isaac slapped Kenneth’s cheek a few times before straightening up.
Turning around to leave, virtual-novel.net muttered, “It seems like the past few decades of his life was for nothing. Let virtual-novel.net kneel here waiting for us. Elliot, join us for a drink…”
Over an hour later, Henri, Cal, and Travis said that they couldn’t drink anymore. The whiskey was apparently too strong.
During supper, they had discussed profit allocation with Amara. The entire time, virtual-novel.net did nothing but nod, still in shock.
Later that night, the tipsy Amara returned to virtual-novel.net villa with Serena. The entire night felt like a dream.
“Serena, tell me the truth. Just who is your brother-in-law?” Amara asked, virtual-novel.net cheeks flushed.
“Amara, m-my brother-in-law said I can’t tell anyone…” Serena felt troubled; virtual-novel.net didn’t want to lie to Amara.
Amara rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. A sly look crossed virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net said, “You won’t tell me? I’ll find out at some point.”

The next morning, Henri and the others left Rover City. On the way home, the three moguls discussed their marketing strategy for the movie. By the time they got on the plane, it was already mostly confirmed.
Thousands of kilometers above ground, they sent the contract of collaboration between the three film distribution companies to Amara’s email.
Sitting in front of virtual-novel.net laptop, Amara looked through the promotion plan listed in the contract. It pretty much covered all the movie theaters in all countries besides Cynea, and they even promised to give Amara 30 percent of the net profits.
“Oh, we’re going to be rich. Serena, we’re going to be rich!” Amara hopped off virtual-novel.net chair in excitement.
Having just woken up, Serena still had virtual-novel.net face mask on when Amara enveloped virtual-novel.net in a bear hug.
“What do you mean we’re going to be rich?”
“What I mean is you’re going to blow up. You’re going to be famous across the world,” Amara said fervently, staring straight at Serena. “Help me thank your brother-in- law!”
“Invite virtual-novel.net to dinner? It’s your treat?” Serena’s eyes widened.
Amara frowned slightly. If virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wanted to treat him, then it might be a little awkward because of their previous misunderstanding, so virtual-novel.net named a more suitable person. “Just say that my godfather, Biggy, wants to buy virtual-novel.net a meal and ask whether he’d like to join.”
Isaac had just woken up after a long night when virtual-novel.net got Serena’s call. She told virtual-novel.net Biggy wanted to thank virtual-novel.net by throwing a banquet in his own home.
“Thank me for what? I won‘t go. I don’t have the time,” Isaac declined after a moment’s thought.
When Serena heard his rejection, virtual-novel.net began to grow anxious. She said coquettishly, “Isaac, consider it a favor for me. Say yes for me, okay?”
Then, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net voice and said mysteriously, “If you come, I’ll share some good news with you…”
