After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 275

While eating, Franklin naturally put away his phone.

Jasper watched it, sensing something wrong.

Only then did he realize Franklin purposely showed off to him, feeling slightly depressed.

'Mr. Maskelyne, how could you do it? You haven't remarried Miss Andrews yet. Stop showing off! Is it so funny to do PDA?' Jasper thought.

...

In the president's office of Wilson Group, Mrs. Carson sat on the sofa holding Clark's hand, her eyes reddish, and said sincerely, "Clark, since your mother passed away, I've been missing her. Last night, she was in my dream and asked me to check on you."

"What do you want, Aunt? Go straight to the point," Clark replied expressionlessly.

He had stopped treasuring the family affection long ago.

Besides, he knew Mrs. Carson had come over for something.

Although she was his aunt, she seldom contacted him.

In recent years, the Carson family gained an excellent reputation due to Aldo's position in the fire department.

Therefore, they looked down on Clark, for he had been too ruthless.

"Well... Nothing serious. I want to invest in a movie, Carson Group lacks funds recently, so I wonder if you are interested in the investment."

Mrs. Carson wiped her tears, wearing a flattering smile.

"Oh, really?" Clark lifted an eyebrow without any interest.

From time to time, Wilson Group also invested in some soap operas or movies, but unlike Maskelyne Group, they didn't run a specific entertainment company.

Mrs. Carson could tell he wasn't appealed, but she added, "If the movie is released, it'll become popular. The playscript was written by the wife of the most famous director, Roland Simon. Roland Simon will direct the movie in person. The leading roles will be played by actors and actresses with large fan bases. Would you like to read the playscript first?"

Clark had heard of Roland before. He was a talented director and won international prizes when he was young.

"Where is the playscript?"

"Here you go." Mrs. Carson immediately pulled out a playscript from her bag and passed it to him. "It's romance. An angel fell from Heaven, and so did the demon. Youngsters love this kind of story, and they are the major consumers in the movie industry. Let's hype up the news between the leading roles and make some rumors. The movie will definitely become popular."

Clark cast down his eyes and turned the first page.

He thought it was not bad to invest in a movie.

With a ghost of a smile on his lips, he turned the pages at random. "I agree with you, Aunt. The production team and director have good reputations. This one should become a blockbuster. However, I have a condition."

His words lit up Mrs. Carson's eyes. She asked, "What condition?"

Clark's smile became broader, his eyes glittering with shrewdness. "The distribution and production rights of this movie shall belong to me."

"Clark? You mean..." Mrs. Carson was shocked.

She realized that she couldn't take any advantage of Clark.

However, she indeed lacked the money.

Although Carson Group had a good reputation, they lacked the working capital to let her invest in the movie.

Mrs. Carson used to work in the entertainment business. After winning the award for the best actress, she resigned and became a housewife.

In the past decades, she worked as a producer and participated in soap operas that were not popular. This would be the first time she participated in a movie.

If the movie became a blockbuster, she would be recognized as an excellent producer in the industry.

"Aunt, you are a producer. Wilson Group will be the production issuer, which has no conflict against you. You still have a lot of rights," Clark coaxed her, "Especially, don't you think working with me is much better than working with others?"

"How much can you invest, Clark," Mrs. Carson gritted her teeth and asked.

"It's a romance movie, so I'll invest 100 million dollars. What about you?" Clark's words were like a bombshell to Mrs. Carson.

"100 million dollars?" She had thought Clark would be generous enough if he was willing to invest 10 million dollars.

"Right. I know Carson Group will also sponsor this movie." Clark smiled at her, but the smile didn't touch his eyes. "How much does Carson Group plan to invest?"
