Both of them stared at each other in abysmal silence. After a long while, he straightened his body and cleared his throat. “Finally. You have finally said something sensible.”Freyja chuckled. “Well, you don't look that annoying as well when you keep quiet.”Colton was rendered speechless.Under normal circumanstances, he would have fought back, but seeing how happy she was, he did not know why but felt rather good to keep quiet once in a while as well.He did not say anything for a long while. Freyja couldn’t help herself anymore and laughed. She tugged at his sleeves and said, “How long are you going to keep quiet like this?”He crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his head sideways embarrassingly. “I… I just don’t feel like talking.”“Really?” Freyja laughed. She was aware that Colton was someone who did not want to expose his true emotions to other people. It was just that she did not expect such a cute side from him. When she said he did not look that annoyi
Daisie thought of something and suddenly asked, “Mr. Johnson, do you know any director who directs suspense dramas or films?”He was startled. “Why are you asking me this?”Daisie replied, “I have a friend who’s an author, and she’s very good at writing suspense novels—”“Stop right there.” Charlie raised his hand to interrupt her. “Daisie, it’s not that I want to make things difficult for you, but when most famous directors start a project based on a novel, they’ll prefer more well-known novels that are intellectual properties. Because apart from choosing a novel they like, they have to take the investors' preferences into account, plus the potential profits, costs, and the effects that the crew can bring to the audience through the camera.“A film adaptation of a literary work isn’t something you can start just because you have the money to spend. No director would want to invest so much effort into something that would lose money at the end of the day.”Daisie pushed the script
Meanwhile, at Blackgold…Leonardo handed Colton the copyright contracts of several books that they had signed with an oversea online novel platform company and asked with a puzzled tone, “Mr. Goldmann, what do you plan to do with these contracts now that you’ve bought the copyrights of all these books in one go?”He raised his gaze slightly. “This is none of your business. Just tell that company that since I’ve bought all the copyrights, they’re not allowed to abuse the hard work of the authors of these books in any name.”Colton had made himself clear, so Leonardo did not dare to ask more and could only do as he ordered.He walked out of the office and ran into Giselle at the elevator's entrance.Leonardo smiled and stepped forward. “Ms. Peterson.”Giselle had a few documents in her hand and nodded. “Mr. Goldmann’s in, isn’t he?”“Yes, are you here to submit the reports? However, someone from the finance department will usually deliver them here, so you don’t have to do everyth
Freyja smiled. “It’s okay. You’re the one who said I’m still young, aren’t you? It’s not like I can no longer write anymore.”Daisie leaned on the back of the couch. “But this still pisses me off. This is nothing but straight-up oppression!”‘I’ll let the fact that Freyja’s copyright still belongs to the company even after the termination of her contract slide, but the main thing is that she can’t even get a penny for something that belongs to her. Such a company should just run out of business and go bankrupt!’Freyja sat down beside her. “Daisie, don’t you like that script a lot? You should take it.”She paused for a bit and lowered her gaze. “But...”‘The reason I didn’t accept it is that the story's copyright belongs to Freyja, yet some other b*stard is going to get all her glory because of this.‘So no matter how much I like the script, I won’t accept it.’Freyja knew that Daisie was worried about her and placed her palm on the back of her hand. “Even though the copyright i
As such, it was not surprising that she would come to meet her after finding out about her relationship with Colton.Giselle only drank tea but did not eat anything. “Why haven’t you made it public? Is there any concern on your part?”The questions seemed to have a more implicit meaning.If the feelings between two people were sincere and justifiable, they would naturally make their relationship public.And if they chose not to make it public, it was not justifiable, or their family background was too disparate.The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Freyja responded very calmly, “Why didn’t you ask him in person the reason he hasn’t made our relationship public? I think that if he was willing to tell you, you wouldn’t have to come looking for me.”Giselle paused for a split second, seeming a little surprised.She had assumed that Freyja would also care about the disparity in their background, which was why she did not dare to disclose their relationship. After all, Colton
However, neither of them noticed that the women in the rear deck had been paying attention to their conversation.Ryleigh removed Maisie’s hand covering her mouth and lowered her voice. “Holy sh*t! Your son is dating someone secretly?”Moreover, that lady mocked the Petersons' daughter to the point of rendering her speechless.Maisie picked up the fork and picked up one of the desserts on the plate. “I’ve known about it since long ago.”She had guessed that the relationship between Colton and Freyja was not as simple as it seemed. It was just that she did not expect it to be the case.Ryleigh leaned forward and closer to her. “So, are you saying you’re siding with the girl Colton likes? I think that girl is very sharp. This is my first time hearing a girl say that she doesn’t want to be the daughter-in-law of the Goldmanns.“Ever since Colton returned to Zlokova and took over the Blackgold Group, some of the famous socialites and celebrities in Bassburgh had already made up their
The ringing phone pulled Colton back to his senses.Colton picked up the phone and took a glimpse at the caller ID. It was Nollace.He swiped the screen and answered the call. “What’s the matter?”“Is Daisie with Freyja?”Colton was startled. “Isn’t she in Taylorton?”Nollace sounded eerily calm. “No, and she’s not at the Goldmann mansion nor Tenet. Not to mention that I can’t get through her phone. I believe something must have happened to her.”Colton stood up abruptly and suddenly recalled Nollace’s reminder from before this.‘F*ck! I’ve been negligent!’“I’ll send someone over right now.”Freyja heard Colton was on the phone and guessed it should be Nollace.‘Could it be Daisie?’She asked, “Did something happen to Daisie?”He picked up his coat and strode to the entryway. “Something might have happened to her. I have to leave now.”Freyja froze in place. She subconsciously took out her cell phone and stared at the message she had sent to Daisie in the afternoon. Daisi
Daisie looked at him. “It’s only tens of millions. I can pay you that.”Mitchell could not help but laugh out loud. “Of course, you can pay me that amount, but unfortunately, money can no longer satisfy me.”After all, Mitchell was once an A-lister. Tens of millions were nothing to him, so it was only natural that money could not satisfy him.Daisie frowned. Her hands behind her back kept groping for the knot. “Then what do you want?”Mitchell smiled grimly. “I want you two to end up just like me. That must be very exciting.”He turned around and summoned the people outside the door. “Come in.”Four men appeared outside the door, looking at the two women on the ground maliciously. “These two women are worthy of being celebrities. Don’t they look beautiful? Everything will be worth it after tonight.”Susan trembled vigorously, knelt on the ground, and wept. “Mitchell, please let me go. I... I’m all yours to command, okay?”Mitchell stopped in front of her and watched as she begg
