Chapter 2036
He didn't know why he had blurted it out. When he finished speaking, he realized that he had said a special date. His heart felt as if it had been pricked by something, and a strange expression flashed across his face.
Hudson also noticed the date, but he did not know that this day was special. He was still a little confused. "What if she doesn't take the bait?"
The bait would be in vain!
He must be ready to go all out if he had chosen a deadline!
Hart had also told him that he suspected that other than the Double Dragon Buckle might be in Kim Mi-chi's hands, Elijah was also aiming for the money. The main point was that there must be someone backing her up! This was one of the reasons why he had never taken any actions, because the person behind Kim Mi- chi was very mysterious.
Ever since he came back from South Korea, Elijah's attitude changed. It was unknown whether it was because of what happened to Carolien or because he was in poor health, or because he was afraid of alerting the enemy through Kim Mi-chi but this matter had been postponed for the past year. In addition, Elijah had been relatively dispirited since he came back. He seemed to have lost interest in anything, so they did not do much. Unless they touched his bottom line and made him extremely cold-hearted, it seemed that nothing could really affect his mood in the past year, even with the matters of the Double Dragon Buckle.
If it wasn't because others had been creating trouble recently, he probably wouldn't have done anything!
He didn't know whether it was because he had gotten used to it or if he was really too passive, but Hudson found Elijah's attitude more and more confusing.
"That means I was wrong from the beginning! The direction has been wrong! This game has been going on for a long time!" It was time to withdraw! Otherwise, it would be seen through by others and become a farce.
If that was the case, then he had lost everything this time. The price he had to pay was enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life. He clenched his fists, and Elijah's eyes darkened.
It was possible that he could not succeed, but it was absolutely impossible for him not to do anything!
She had used so many means, and she shouldn't have given up!
At first, he was not suspicious of Kim Mi-chi and was confused for a period of time. But since she appeared near Gracie's cemetery, he realized that all this was not just a coincidence. Although he doubted her, he didn't think too much at first. He sincerely wanted to save her. Although he was also testing her because after all, the fact that she was the donor was enough for him to be grateful for his whole life. It was reasonable for him to do something for her!
But when he was in Korea, the more he investigated, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He knew the evil and cruelty of the entertainment circle there, but after several encounters, he felt like he was trapped in a deep conspiracy, and there was someone behind this conspiracy. After several times, he found some clues but nothing concrete. Therefore, he tried his best to help her to test whether it was planned by someone else or her own deliberate plan.
Although he had seen with his own eyes that she had been bullied by a man, and even the last set up did not make sense. Another thing that did not make sense was given her age and beauty, she was not irreplaceable in that circle. However, even when he had exerted so much pressure and money, he could not get her contract back. That made him extremely suspicious.
It was true that it was common for the entertainment circle to force people for money, and it was also possible for them to use women to satisfy their personal desires and purposes, but it was a little unreasonable that he could not communicate with them at all. Perhaps Kim Mi-chi knew too much and had evidence against them, but the truth was that she was the one that they had evidence against. Torturing a famous celebrity for the rest of her career could not get them much benefits, much less someone like Kim Mi-chi who was not that popular. He was already willing to bail her out and use his connections, but to no avail!
That was unreasonable. He always had a feeling that someone had deliberately made it difficult for him. But if Kim Mi-chi was free and had the power to control others, this meant that the true culprit behind her not be underestimated. At least it should be about the same as Mr. Kwon, a very rich or influential person. But if that was the case, how could she encounter such an unbearable situation?
This was also something that Elijah had always been confused about. Therefore, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he tried his best to help her get back her contract and observe what would happen in the future.
He thought that she would try every means to get to his side after she got her freedom, but unexpectedly, she did nothing. She only told him that there were some things to deal with and didn't do anything else. If others didn't mention the past again recently, he would almost forget this woman!
She was more calm than he had imagined!
But at the same time, there was another possibility, which was that he was really wrong.
His heart trembled slightly. Elijah was terrified of the possibility. Losing Carolien was already the biggest mistake in his life. If Kim Mi-chi was not the person he guessed, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.
At the thought of this, Elijah was overcome with emotions. He couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed. "Cough, cough..."
"I got it. I'll get someone to spread this news out as soon as possible!"
But in this way, what happened a year ago was really going to happen again! Last time, someone wanted to send someone to his side, but it was still unclear who the person was and whether he existed. Now, the same thing was going to start again. What would the consequences be this time?
Hudson's heart sank.
He hoped history won't repeat itself!
However, at present, it could be a move that would kill two birds with one one stone. If Kim Mi-chi really came back, it would at least be a successful test. He didn't know if there would be any other problems this time.
He looked around. This matter had returned to the beginning. It seemed that he could not avoid it!
Without saying anything else, Hudson thought of something and said,
"By the way, Elijah, we have an appointment with Mr. Yancey of Aspen Group at the dinner party later. I heard that his daughter wants to enter the entertainment circle, so he wants to buy an entertainment company. He was very interested in Peakview and has hinted to me many times. He probably likes the scale and momentum of Peakview. What's more, this was not our main business so we could sell this business off if the conditions are suitable! He has used various
connections to contact us so that he could buy out our shares. I guess he knows that the entertainment circle is not easy, so if he wants to ensure that his daughter could become popular in the shortest amount of time, he needs to be one of the major shareholders! I heard that he got his daughter late in his life and really dotes on her. He has invested a lot of money but did not get much results, so he was looking for a shortcut through us..."
"Ha-ha ."
He sneered and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Do you think I worked so hard to
run a media company to pave the way for his daughter?"
Who did he think he was?
What a dream!
"Then what should we do? I have already agreed to the dinner party at night! We
need to at least uphold our promise since this is also related to many other
things..."
In fact, he had rejected it more than once. To put it bluntly, their entertainment company was just a front. Although it was well-run and they made money, it was still not their main business. Because of this, how could they let outsiders in? To be honest, the shares of Triumphoods Group were better than that of Peakview.
It was not a big deal to refuse him. The main reason was that they were afraid that
the more they refused, the more suspicious it would be. The more people found it strange, the more curious they would be.
"Since we've already arranged it, let's meet him. Let's wait and see before we decide..."noveldrama
...
At the dinner party, they chatted happily. Just as Hudson said before, Mr. Yancey was indeed trying to pave the way for his daughter to enter the entertainment circle. There were still many guests at the dining table. Elijah didn't say much.
When he walked out of the hotel, Hudson couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up. "Sure enough, you can convince anyone out of anything. No matter what I said, even if it was the same thing as you, I could not get him to agree!"
Wasn't it still the same?
He neither sold the company nor sold any shares, but just asked him to invest in
the company. Mr. Yancey was always afraid of those more powerful than him so if
he rejected, then Elijah would have just walked away!
Shaking his head, Hudson wanted to spit at him.
"That's because you didn't give him enough benefits, so he naturally didn't want
to! We alleviated his worries and paid money upfront and even gave him the first
choice. If it were you, wouldn't you agree?"
"So isn't it a big loss for us?"
Hudson muttered, and Elijah rolled his eyes. Was he drunk? Why was his brain not functioning at all?
Seeing that they had left the restaurant and Hudson was still looking at him with furrowed brows, Elijah said, "The choice was him, but have I ever mentioned the proportion and the scope of the choice?"
Hudson slapped his forehead and suddenly came to a realization. "Elijah, you're
so ruthless!"
Indeed, it seemed that they had
made a concession and given Aspen
Group great convenience and privilege. However, in fact, if they stuck to the terms, they would have the final say. His daughter would have to play any role they gave her.
If she was picky or wanted only the female lead, it would still be up to them!
It was obvious that they had given him hope but also blocked his path!
He turned around and was about to drive when he looked up. Hudson was stunned on the spot-
What do you think?
