Lloyd had not wanted to attend the press conference but he came after mulling it over. The reason was none other than his wish to show up in front of the cameras and relay a message to Javier: Perhaps Javier could squash him easily on many levels, but Lloyd still had the final say in show business!Representing his company, Lloyd picked up the pen to sign his name on the contract while the four popular celebrities signed theirs respectively. From then on, their management company would be working under Lloyd’s media company.After a round of applause and cheers, the four popular celebrities went up on stage to perform respectively, singing and dancing. Although they did a bad job at both, everything else was fine. That did not stop the atmosphere from being merry.Chad opened a folder to retrieve some documents and got up with the intention of making the press conference merrier, but Javier stopped him. While Chad was confused, Javier took the documents from him and got up to look a
Lloyd did not want his years of effort to be gone just like this, but he could guess that Javier had a lot of money and tactics to knock him down and drag him into Reivaj Media like a dead dog. Therefore, Lloyd, who did not want his company to be acquired yet and was unable to resist it, chose to drag it out.Javier was not in a hurry either, as his current priority was shooting the film smoothly and sending it to the Osborn Awards.Luckily, things went smoothly after that. The medical team came and joined the production team to keep Cillian’s treatment going. Mr. Gander kept his eyes on the production team as well, fighting on the frontline with everyone else.With Lloyd’s cooperation, the shooting venue and resources were obtained without much effort. When the publicity department went all out, all the relevant bureaucratic departments took notice of this film, which wanted no entertainment value or money but to win an Osborn, and gave the green light, showing their support after
Jade had been so distracted recently that she was not even as invested in her work anymore. Even though she was still busy all day long, she didn't even know what she was so busy doing.Javier had not called her for three consecutive days. She had received a call a day previously, so this unsettled her, as she wondered if her husband, who rarely settled, was thoroughly captivated by some vixen and had long forgotten about her.While she thought about it, there was a knock on her door. Jade quickly tucked her thoughts away and smoothed her hair before saying, “Come in.”She lowered her head and signed a document with a pen, asking without looking up, “Yes?”There was no reply. Instead, the newcomer walked closer to her directly.Jade frowned, wanting to see who was brazen enough to barge in and walk all the way up to her without saying a word, but her cherry lips were kissed once she looked up. She panicked immediately and grabbed her pen to attack the person.She did not care who
Lloyd had another solution. After so many years in show business, he had enough tactics to handle the joint efforts of his two enemies. It was just that it was not quite worth it given the time and capital required. On the contrary, Javier acquiring his company would be the most financially sound plan.For example, his ten dollars would become nine dollars after this fight, and said fight would take a long time. If he gave up fighting and sold the company to Javier directly, he’d have eight dollars that he could cash immediately and he’d toss this trouble over to Javier.Although selling his company would make him lose some money, he could totally utilize the time he’d save to make that money 11 or even 12 dollars.A smart person would choose to sell. Besides, he knew that he was unable to fight Javier. He just had not expected Javier to suddenly not want to acquire the company.After his initial surprise, Lloyd understood. It was not that Javier really did not want to acquire his
Lloyd was so shocked that he almost dropped to his knees. ‘8-8…8 billion dollars? I knew that Javier was a rich man right from the moment he said he was going to spend 300 million dollars on Reivaj Media.‘But I only estimated that he’d be able to mobilize around 1.2 billion dollars at most. Combined with his company’s original capital, it should be sufficient to handle the stock exchange snipe. After all, the two companies aren’t focused on the media industry, so there’s no way he would be able to obtain even more capital.‘I would never have thought that Javier would say he’s going to spend 8 billion dollars right out of the gate. Plus, he made it seem like he’s being rather stingy about it.‘Just imagine what he’d give if he wasn’t being stingy…How much more than 8 billion dollars would he have offered?!’Lloyd thought that it all seemed too far-fetched and surreal to him. In fact, he could not help but suspect Javier was actually just bluffing. However, when he saw Mary Jan
The day Cillian passed away, he had rushed back home through the night after he was done filming. Then, after he said a few words to his son and his daughter-in-law, he claimed that he was very tired and wanted to rest for a while. However, this was a nap Cillian was never going to wake up from. Even though there was a team of medical professionals with him, they still could not resuscitate the old man and pull him from the grasp of the Grim Reaper himself. Cillian’s son had already been prepared for this long ago. Before Cillian’s passing, the doctor had already advised his son that the old man might leave at any given moment… Cillian’s wake was held on the third day of his passing, and Javier, Lloyd, Mr. Gander, and the rest rushed over. There were many movie celebrities on the scene, but most of them were older, veteran actors and actresses who were extremely saddened by the old man’s passing.Flowers filled the venue of his wake, sent by the country’s filmography organiz
On the other hand, when Javier told Ciara that he was so busy with work that he could not celebrate Christmas back home…he did not mean it. In truth, he had never celebrated it before. Meanwhile, Jade could understand that Javier had never thought of celebrating something like this. All she asked was that she stay by Javier’s side. Thus, the two of them had never celebrated Christmas before. However, they stayed at the office until very late that day, so they ended up getting something to eat on their way back.As they ate, Sam Langdon gave Javier a phone call. “Where are you, Mr. Kersey? There’s something I would like to ask your help with.”‘It’s so late at night. What sort of help could he possibly need?’Without reading too much into the matter, Javier gave Sam his address. After hanging up the phone, he carried on eating his dinner with Jade.However, while the two of them were eating and chatting merrily, a young man in his 20s walked over and brought a chair with him.
Channing was truly dumbfounded at this point. He had seen people gambling with money before, but he had never seen such a gamble! He had just been offered to play the simplest game, one match that would decide whether he’d take away around 600,000 dollars or lose 150,000 dollars. This was a very harsh game, but a very exciting one at the same time!Channing’s friends had now been attracted to Javier’s table, their eyes instantly filled with envy when they saw the stacks of cash inside the luggage. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were bound by the law, Channing’s friends would most likely have robbed Sam on the spot. Unable to contain their envy, some of Channing’s friends began egging him on. “Go on, play with him! It’s 600,000 versus 150,000 dollars. It’s a small risk for a huge return!”The others gradually began to coerce Channing into gambling with Javier with his 150,000 dollars as well. In fact, Channing wanted to gamble for the stacks of cash in front of him out
