Chapter 1745
Affection would come with time!"Is Aurum getting involved in the film and television industry? Are you sure?" Shawn asked."He just said it himself. The director has already been confirmed. We're just waiting for the script to be polished and the lead actor to be confirmed; then this project can go ahead!" Shawn furrowed his brows slightly. Lefting Group's business had never included film and television. Why did Aurum want to do a project in the film and television industry? Especially now, when Gale and Ivy have only just met recently. Was it a coincidence or a careful plan?This reminded Shawn of those photos. For someone to instruct the paparazzi to stake out and even dare to send him the photos and still be undiscovered, this person must be powerful and familiar with him. This person was likely Aurum! However, that was only Shawn's suspicion. He lacked compelling evidence!"Shawn, Shawn?" Gale waved her hand in front of his eyes. "What are you thinking about? Why are you spa

"I'm an amateur, the director is a professional. The success of a film or TV production isn't achieved by me throwing money around and giving orders. That's art, something I don't understand. My role is investments only, so it's better not to interfere too much with the director's creative process," Aurum replied.Ivy nodded, her admiration evident in her eyes. "The director would also be pleased to have an investor like you." "It's mutual. He wants art, I want profit. He's the director, I'm the businessman." With that, Aurum turned to her, a slight smirk playing at his lips. "Ivy, are you hoping I'll use my so-called power as an investor to directly cast you as the female lead?" Ivy shook her head repeatedly. "That's not what I meant... you misunderstand. I..."Before she could finish, Aurum interrupted, "Actually, I hope you'll allow me to use that power to cast you." Her heart skipped a beat. The implications of his words were profound. Ivy was prone to overthinking, but she
Chapter 1747
Although Ivy did not turn back, she felt his gaze on her back. It was not until she entered the gate that it went away. Meanwhile, Aurum's car slowly drove away. He actually watched her safely enter the studio before leaving. He was indeed considerate and thoughtful. Was this attention to detail just part of his character, or did he genuinely like her? Could it be love at first sight? When Aurum rescued her from the skateboarder, she had no idea about his identity. She did not know that the man before her was the CEO of the Lefting Group, a film investor, and that he had the archetype of a sugar daddy numerous female stars would fall over themselves for.Ivy still remembered her first impression of Aurum, a classy and refined gentleman. At that time, Ivy did not know that Aurum had orchestrated the whole encounter. She was Aurum's prey! At night, at Temperley Hall's study, the phone rang. "Hello?" Shawn answered the phone. Fiona's voice came through. "Mr. Wood, I have some fin
Chapter 1748
If there was not enough evidence, confronting Aurum would give him a chance to argue and make his future actions more cautious, making it harder to gather evidence. Moreover, Gale trusted Aurum enough. After all, for her, Aurum, who had helped for so many years, was selflessly devoted without asking for anything in return and was still her childhood friend. How could he possibly do anything to harm her or betray her trust?It would be hard to make his case. Shawn suspected the photos were also orchestrated by Aurum. He decided to practice caution. Shawn got up and walked out. At this moment, there was a knock on the study door. "Mr. Wood." "What's the matter?" "Summer is here. She's downstairs with Gale and the kids," the housekeeper reported.It was quite normal for Summer to be here. She was the godmother of the two children and also Gale's best friend. He can tolerate her as long as Summer does not badmouth him in front of Gale. After all, he would have to deal with Summer

"Ah?!" Joshua was even more shocked. "The bad person you've been complaining to my mom about is my Godfather?""Yes! It's him!"Joshua looked conflicted. He slowly stood up, scratching his head.What should he do now?On one side was his godmother, on the other was his godfather. Who should he support?"My godfather is actually a really nice guy." Joshua tried to speak up for Joe. "He's funny, handsome, and has good manners. He never puts on airs. He's much nicer than Shawn."His impression of Joe was very good. From the moment they met, Joe had helped him, deliberately giving him the hotel room card to help him escape from Shawn's clutches."Oh? So, in your heart, Joshua, Joe is much better than me?" Shawn's voice sounded faintly.Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!Joshua suddenly coughed violently.Damn!Why did Shawn always hear it whenever someone spoke ill of him? He was just everywhere!"No, you misunderstood. What I meant was, Godfather is a really nice person, jus

With that, Summer got up. "What's this?" Gale grabbed her. "No one's chasing you away, and nobody's avoiding you." "I know, I'm not blaming you guys, it's my own problem." Gale firmly pressed her down. "If you go out now, you'll definitely run into Joe, he hasn't left yet." "I'll go out the back door. Your house is so big, there should be several doors, right?" Summer looked around."Are you really planning to leave?" "Otherwise? Should I go meet Joe?" Gale looked conflicted. "How about... you just... give in to him?" "Say that again?" Gale shook her head. "How about you just... be with him?" Summer almost jumped up. "I asked you for help to come up with a solution, not to matchmake me with Joe!" "Just give it a try, it's been so many years..."Gale persisted, managing to pull Summer back. "He's not just messing around, he's sincere. Give him a chance, and give yourself a chance at a relationship."Gale said, "If he dares to treat you even the slightest bit badly,

"Joe isn't a playboy. He genuinely cares about you. You've just been imagining the worst, which is why you feel so insecure," Shawn said.Summer deflated, "Why is everyone siding with him...""I am just telling it like it is. Of course, if you insist on blocking Joe from coming in, I won't allow him in," Shawn said, crossing his legs casually."Really?""Between offending you and Gale or offending Joe, I'll choose to offend Joe."Meanwhile, Joshua had been pretending to watch cartoons. In reality, he was listening intently to the adults' conversation.Uh-oh.He thought Shawn and Mommy would persuade Godmother and let Godfather in to talk things out.However, in the end, no one sided with Godfather!What could he do?Joe had helped him before. Joshua could not just stand by this time; he had to do something!After a moment's thought, Joshua slipped out of the living room quietly when nobody was paying attention.In the dark of the night, he dashed toward the front door.Joe

He hesitated.Joshua continued, "Mommy said that Shawn was really persistent in pursuing her. Why don't you try the same?""If you don't act now, Aunt Summer might really leave.""If she wanted to reject you, she would have said it directly. Since she has not outright refused you, it means she still has feelings for you!""Uncle Joe, what you need to do is dispel her doubts and give her a sense of security!"Upon hearing Joshua's words, Joe felt motivated. Right, Summer had not rejected him!She had just run away.Maybe she had not figured out how to face him yet. That did not mean she did not like him!Joe was invigorated.He immediately stepped through the side door, patting Joshua's head. "Well done, I owe you one for this!"Joshua chuckled. "Go for it, Uncle Joe, win the lady's heart soon, and give me some siblings to play with!""Go for it!"The guard was speechless.Should he stop them or not?He had not done anything wrong; Joshua had let him in. It had nothing to do
