Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 593
Having one-upped Kevan with a "successful" business talk with Frank, Xavier got a little carried away. First, he contacted all the actors he had called before, boasting with the same script. "I just had a meal with the boss of Fantasy Utopia, and he rejected the offer to collaborate with VisualBox's 'Traveling Through Time' in front of me! Because he favors 'Migration to Mars'! Moreover, he will try and get Stephen del Rio to direct this movie! Do you know Stephen del Rio? It's that famous sci-fi film director who got two Diamond Reel Honors and three Platinum Film Awards, among other awards …"The circulation of information in the entertainment industry was always the fastest, so almost everyone knew that Xavier was in ongoing negotiations with Fantasy Utopia. However, due to Cosmic Entertainment's unfavorable situation, no one really believed that he really established a connection with Fantasy Utopia.Besides, VisualBox just released the news in the afternoon, saying that Fantasy

"Mr. Seymour, Mr. Cline of Eagle Entertainment just called to ask if you were free tonight. He wants to treat you to dinner.""Mr. Seymour, Mr. Clayton of Helios Media sent you an invitation to attend his daughter's wedding on Saturday, and he hopes that you will attend.""Mr. Seymour, Mr. Simpson Jr. of WinterSky Entertainment wants to invest one hundred million dollars in our movie. He says that if you feel that it isn't enough, he can add more to it."…Ever since Xavier met with Stephen, Ian was constantly running over to Xavier's office to inform him of one thing or another. Compared to the previous months, he was doing this a lot more than usual.Xavier lit a cigar that he had been saving up for a very long time, one leg resting on the knee of his other. He had a look of absolute self-satisfaction on his face as he puffed on his cigar."Tell Mr. Simpson Jr. that our project requires, at the very least, a starting investment of two hundred million dollars, and there are limi

Who knew that Yvette would come looking for them shortly after the company reopened?Ian pushed open Xavier's office door, immediately getting a whiff of the smoke in the room. But as cigars were good quality smokes, the smell was not too bad. Xavier sat in the midst of the wispy smoke, idly flicking away the ash gathered on the end of the cigar."Who's looking for me again?" He smiled, trying his best to appear nonchalant. But he could not hide the smugness in his eyes.Ian hesitated before announcing Yvette's name.Xavier's smile turned into a frown at once, his expression turning cold as well as carrying a hint of disgust. "Get security to chase her out."His apathy and heartlessness stunned Ian for a moment, until Xavier's shout of, "Well, why are you still standing there? Go!" startled him into action."Yes, Mr. Seymour. Right away!" Ian hurried out once again and called the building's management, telling them to send security up at once. But he had yet to inform the recepti

Xavier had long since heard the commotion outside. But Yvette got exposed previously, causing him to be humiliated too, not to mention that she was now useless to him. So, he made up his mind to ignore her. If it were not for the fact that divorcing her now would appear to be adding insult to injury, easily turning him into a target of ire, he would never let her continue to hold the title of "Mrs. Seymour" so arrogantly up until now.True, he could ignore Yvette now, but Lana was his only daughter. The moment he heard that something was wrong with her, he could not sit still any longer. He carefully extinguished the flame of the cigar and set it aside before leaving his office.It was chaos out here.Folders and A4 papers were scattered all over the floor. There was even some earthy soil nearby, as well as a flower pot so broken that one could not tell what it used to look like.With a bang, another flower pot smashed right at Xavier's feet, the soft, damp soil covering his polish

"Help! Someone help!"Xavier's office was not that big, and it was not furnished with soundproofing equipment. So, Yvette's howls could be clearly heard by the others outside.Ian did not expect to come back to this after stepping out for a few minutes. Everyone in the office was staring at each other, at a complete loss of what to do."If this goes on, Mr. Seymour may really beat his wife to death …""Should we try to break it up? It's not good if someone dies.""If you want to break it up, go right ahead! At any rate, I won't be the one doing it!"…After a discussion, the job of breaking up the fight between Xavier and Yvette fell on Ian's head as he was the most trusted subordinate of their boss."It's up to you now, Mr. Price!""You can do it, Ian, we believe in you!"…Although Ian was not willing to risk having Xavier's rage directed at him, his fear grew stronger when Yvette's howls grew weaker.The security sent by the management arrived late, and when they saw the

Yvette having her pictures taken secretly while in such a state would definitely cause a huge commotion when news of it got out.But Ian had no one else with him right now, and Yvette was not in a good state either. So, after deliberating for a few seconds, he still decided to send her to the hospital first.While he started the car, Ian called Xavier and told him about what happened. Xavier was quiet for a moment before saying, "I got it. I will have someone deal with it."…Yvette did not wake up even after reaching the hospital. Ian was anxious, and he got the doctor to check her over properly. When the results came out, he was very panicked. Yvette had many fractures all over her whole body, and there was a dent in the back of her head. Her spleen had also ruptured from all the kicking.Stone-faced, the doctor asked sternly and sharply, "You did this to her?"Ian waved his hands quickly. "No, no! I just brought her here. I have no idea how she got hurt like this either!"The

"The E.R. said that they called the police when they brought her here, but they didn't say how she got hurt …""She must have been beaten up by someone. Otherwise, how do you explain her injuries?!""Don't celebrities have agents, bodyguards, and stuff? Normal people wouldn't be able to get close to them, so how the hell did someone even beat her up?""That's for celebs who are popular now! For a washed-up one like Yvette, what agent would care about her, especially with the huge scandal that got exposed so recently?"Larissa was originally listening to the gossip as a way to relieve her boredom, but when the name "Yvette" popped out of a nurse's mouth, she froze at once. Once she had connected the previous dialogues to this, she was very surprised.Yvette was … beaten up by someone? But … who would do that?Like Larissa, Gary's attention was also drawn by the nurses' conversation. He slowed down until he decided to just stop walking.There were only two nurses who were in charg

Lewis had come to the hospital early, spending nearly half an hour reporting to Gary about work-related things. Then he stayed here, occasionally giving Mrs. Griffin a hand, though most of the time he sat on a sofa nearby with his laptop in his lap to deal with work.When Gary pushed Larissa out of the ward, Lewis was still focused on reading work emails from Aldovia.Mrs. Griffin looked outside the door. "He went to answer a call and left. But his things are still here, so he will probably be back soon." As she said, Lewis' laptop was still placed on the sofa he had been sitting on, and the power indicator was still lit, which clearly meant that he had just left not long ago.Gary passed Larissa over to Mrs. Griffin. "Help Lari get into the bed. I will call Lewis." However, before the call went through, Lewis came back. The phone in his hand rang at this time. Lewis looked down to see before asking Gary in surprise, "You were looking for me, Gary?"Gary did not rush to speak. He w
