Chapter 665 Old Fart
For a moment, Elise had no words to say.
Any kind of relationship in this world would lose its innocence once it was mixed with interests.
At Blitzy Entertainment, Jenny went straight to Mr. Lowry’s office to complain.
“Mr. Lowry,” she said coquettishly, plopping herself on his lap and placing her arms around his neck as she displayed her cleavage to him. “Somebody walked all over me today. Can you help me out?”
With his full attention on her cleavage, he muttered, “Of course, I have to. Who bullied my baby?”
“Who else can it be?” Jenny nudged her body closer and almost pressed her cleavage against his face. “It’s Elise Sinclair! Before this, she started a live broadcast to go against our variety show, and she went on a strike for today’s filming. She’s just belittling us, and I think she even wants to steal Garreth from us! You can’t just sit by and do nothing about this!”
When he heard this, he put on a severe expression, pushed his glasses, and asked in suspicion, “What do you mean? Sinclair wants to steal my employees?”
Since a long time ago, he already had a feeling that Elise didn’t have an ordinary background. If no one had her back, she wouldn’t be able to create such a big hype on the Internet just by herself.
“Exactly!” She deliberately exaggerated the matter and said, “You should have seen how smitten Garreth is with her. We might have gotten into a physical fight if I had left a second later! Feel it. My heart is racing so fast! You’ll have to do something about it for me…” She grabbed his hand and placed it on her soft bosoms as she spoke.
A lecherous grin spread across Mr. Lowry’s face, and after he enjoyed himself enough, he slammed the desk firmly. “Yes, we’ll have to get even with her about this! Since she’s not going to be of use to me, then I’ll have to get rid of her!” A shrewd light flashed past his eyes when he changed the topic. “However, we can use this opportunity to rake in a fortune,” he said, taking out his cell phone and calling the biggest investor of Blitzy Entertainment, Mr. Howard, to ask him out for dinner.
In the evening, Mr. Howard showed up in the VIP dining room as promised, and Mr. Lowry hurriedly pushed him into a seat. After a few rounds of drinks, he brought up the topic in his mind.
“Mr. Howard, we’ve been working together for years, and I’ve never let you down. Only by working together can we make more money out of money. Do you recall that chick named Elise Sinclair the last time we ate together? That woman isn’t a controllable pawn, but she has some influential figure on her back to help her progress. After this, she’ll become our greatest hindrance, but if you invest in me, I can definitely get rid of this threat for us!”
Mr. Howard only smiled and listened without saying anything.
For the entire evening, Mr. Lowry had plastered a smile on his face, and his expression was becoming a little stiff and unnatural at this time. But, despite that, realizing that Mr. Howard didn’t seem agreeable, he couldn’t help but feel his heart beating against his chest.
What’s wrong with my big ATM machine today? He would always agree to it whenever I asked for funds before this, but why does he seem unmoved today? Is it because my terms are not attractive enough? Mr. Lowry wondered. Then, he placed an arm on Mr. Howard’s shoulder, and he whispered into his ear, “Look, I’ll get you the chance to have a taste of the National Goddess. What do you say to that, huh?”
At his words, Mr. Howard jerked his head to look at him. Then, Mr. Lowry let out a low snigger under his breath as he thought that he had gotten Mr. Howard’s attention.
Mr. Howard chuckled along for a few seconds, then caught Mr. Lowry off guard when he splashed the wine in his hand onto his face.
The moment the wine splashed on him, he suddenly snapped back to his senses, and he wiped away the liquid with his hand. His eyes widened and were filled with disbelief. “Mr. Howard, what are you doing?!”
Mr. Howard remained silent and gave him a gloomy look that gave Mr. Lowry a bad feeling. A few seconds later, the door burst open with a loud bang as someone kicked it open from the outside, and Elise walked in with Elliot and Sheldon.
Mr. Lowry peered at them before looking away and asking, “Mr. Howard, what’s going on?”
