Chapter 341 Unmet Expectations

Peak Vista, the big shot among these companies, had Chris as its leader. When he spoke like this, who wouldn't echo his sentiments? Everyone nodded in agreement, raising their voices in unison."Ms. Emerson, it's not about refusing respect. It's just the way these matters unfold.""Don't worry. Once we're done here, we'll follow up and get everything sorted out for you.""The process is laid out, and we're all law-abiding citizens. We can't rush these things, can we?"Each sentence sounded pleasant, but there wasn't a trace of sincerity in those words. "Everyone, this isn't the way to handle things," Dennis stated. He wasn't a smooth talker, which might explain why he hadn't succeeded in making a film for so many years.Now, with a dark expression, he hardened his stance. "You've taken all the benefits, and now you're telling us this? Are you dissatisfied with what we've given?""Mr. Westwood, what are you saying? We're all following the rules. If you're not satisfied, fe

Chapter 342 Dilemma

Around the messy table, Hannah sat calmly behind it. Hearing their words, she smiled lightly. She looked confident, as if she was holding the winning hand. "Please."She genuinely didn't care whether they stayed or left. Chris felt a growing unease.Initially, when he knew he had to meet her, he harbored a sense of disdain, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal.She was a lady from the slums and just 21 years old. What tricks could she possibly have? Establishing herself in the upper echelons of high society surely required a lot of effort.If she had such skills, why bother venturing into investments and networking? Why not enjoy the life of a wealthy socialite?However, Hannah repeatedly shattered his preconceptions, breaking his established impressions. She was beautiful. Truly beautiful. When she turned cold, her entire demeanor intimidated even Chris, a seasoned player.Witnessing her temper, no one would mistake her for a mere adornment."Ms. Emerson, we're all rather i

Chapter 343 Setting the Tone

"Look at it this way: I'm just asking for your help recommending a couple of films. I see you as a friend and I trust your judgment. How can that be considered making things difficult for you?" Hannah said with an unwavering smile, her voice light as if they were having a casual chat.Chris couldn't help but sigh.Both parties were well aware of each other's thoughts.Especially in this not-so-private gathering, where heads of other cinema chains accompanied him. If he uttered these words today, anyone present could spread the news throughout the industry. How would he manage to face everyone after this?As Chris grappled with his dilemma, the heads of other cinema chains couldn't hide their frowns."Mr. Reynolds, why fear her?" someone whispered."Can the Winchesters stretch their influence into Peak Vista?""Exactly, just because she's married into the Winchesters, that doesn't mean Hopeldon becomes her family's territory.""These are business secrets. You can't just talk

Chapter 344 Why Did He Do That?

After saying that, Chris waved his hand. He quickly got into the car and left.The others exchanged glances. They were hesitant to linger and scattered away like startled birds.Ms. Emmerson's strategies were truly superb and ruthless. She carried out her plans seamlessly, manipulating situations effortlessly and provoking fear.Setting aside the fact that these individuals were scared out of their wits, Dennis, still inside the private room, was nearly overturning the table in anger."Henry!"He was genuinely furious. The face that had always been somewhat cynical was now flushed with anger."That bastard! I thought we had the camaraderie of university friends. He actually stabbed me in the back!"Chris and the others recommended a summer film to Hannah before leaving. It was "Maple Love." Dennis was so angry that his mind was clouded, but Hannah remained calm and composed.She had anticipated this and now confirmed her suspicions. She leisurely started eating the food

Chapter 345 Unhappy

What if the public liked cheesy love stories made by famous stars? What if they preferred something other than deep or realistic themes?Dennis had too many uncertainties.Seeing him like this, Hannah couldn't help but sigh.She knew Dennis had doubted himself for too long. Since graduation, he had been denied and failed repeatedly. He had shown commendable perseverance by consistently overcoming challenges, but it wasn't enough."Mr. Westwood, it's not that we don't have good movies. It's just that, in the current popularity-driven market, what the audience sees is the result of maximizing profits after capital calculations."The market naturally leaned toward profits. Hannah's expression softened. She smiled and added, "Do you know why I still want to invest in your movie? Because I believe that if we work hard, we can make something valuable. And you, you're the one who makes valuable things."As I strive to share this film with the audience, I want to enjoy it myself, t

Chapter 347 True or False

Hannah couldn't help but reach for his handsome face, unable to suppress her smile. "Mr. Winchester, why are you so sweet?"Her heart felt soft and warm as she was overjoyed and deeply moved. She felt like she could never get enough of Darren."I'm only sweet to you."Darren's deep, dark eyes seemed filled with a profound affection that could drown a person. His voice was gentle as he spoke, "Are you feeling happier now?"With a hint of emotion, Hannah playfully teased him. "Mr. Winchester, thank goodness it's the 21st century."Facing his puzzled gaze, she widened her smile and added, "If you were an ancient monarch, you'd be razing cities just for your love!"Darren was so extravagant.Yet, the feeling of being cherished was addictive.It was as if, no matter how rough the road ahead was, someone was always willing to pave a smooth path for her."A monarch?"Raising an eyebrow, Darren revealed a trace of proud disdain. "If you can't even protect your own woman, what's the

Chapter 347 Premiering as Scheduled

Carefully considering in his mind, Chris, undoubtedly skilled enough to occupy his current position, tentatively asked, "So, are we still sticking with July 5th?""Sure," replied Hannah straightforwardly, adding, "We agreed to air the premiere of 'Maple Love' that day. Mr. Reynolds, don't let me down!"At this point, Chris no longer faced the dilemma of his receding hairline. He was beginning to feel sympathy for Henry and Starshine Entertainment. Why would they pick a fight with such a formidable star?Also, Hannah had impeccable management skills, making it impossible to control her. Now, with Darren's lavish display of affection, it seemed like they weren't leaving any room for grievances.He postponed the film premiere by a few days, intending to pave the way effortlessly for her.Hannah was not one to forget grievances, specifically saying that she wanted to see "Maple Love" on the day of its release. This was like throwing down the gauntlet!Before, Chris didn't dare

Chapter 348 Sister

Dennis wore a suit and was anxiously watching. He was so nervous that he couldn't utter a word.Seeing this, Hannah couldn't help but smile, pursing her lips. "Regardless of the outcome, we've done our best to present a satisfactory answer … Besides, don't you believe in Mr. Westwood's abilities?" There was a hint of cunningness in her eyes.Though she didn't say much, Kesha blushed slightly when she met Hannah's gaze. "It's not that I don't believe in him …"Dennis's ears turned red as he looked around nervously.At that moment, a slightly anxious voice came from nearby. "Ms. Emerson."Looking toward the sound, Hannah was slightly surprised to see Alan, who had somehow slipped in. He was dressed in a shirt and jeans, standing a couple of steps away, looking her way.Hannah was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to approach her again. Her eyes showed a bit of confusion. He was the first person to give her a room key, and that memory stuck with her."Can I speak

Chapter 349 We Have a Problem

"Don't you like me calling you that? Of course. I am, after all, older than you. No wonder you find it distasteful." Darren nodded, seemingly enlightened."Wait! He's older than me too!"Hannah couldn't help but instinctively retort.Darren's eyes deepened. With a meaningful tone, he asked, "It seems that you know him quite a bit. You even know his age? What else do you know?"She knew nothing!Although she hadn't done anything, Hannah couldn't help but feel a bit guilty."I didn't expect him to come looking for me again. He's just a background actor arranged by Mr. Westwood. I didn't pay any attention to him."She shrugged a bit helplessly, her gaze shifting. And suddenly, she looked up at him, "Since you're so interested, why not share what skillful means he used to persuade me?"The first time she was given a room key, she found it more amusing than embarrassing and didn't take it to heart. She was indifferent to what path a person chose to take.Alan didn't want to

Chapter 350 How Ridiculous

Hannah pondered about the situation. Her gaze went cold when she remembered all the underhanded things Henry's production crew had done ever since "The Search" started shooting.Clearly, Henry thought the torment wasn't enough for Dennis."The reporters who promised to show up at the premiere are all absent!"Dennis' expression had gone thunderous at that point. He clenched his fists tightly while croaking, "Even some of the movie critics are absent! Henry's trying to drive me into a corner!"Dennis and his crew had gifted the tickets to the reporters and the critics, hoping that they could help promote "The Search". It turned out that none of those people attended the movie premiere.It would be utterly humiliating for Dennis if the front-row seats were left empty when the premiere started. Heck, it wouldn't be necessary for Dennis to spend money on boosting "The Search"'s popularity anymore. That humiliating turn of events would be enough to make the movie the laughingstock of
