I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267
Marie was smiling and talking to a paunchy and bald investor.
To the outsiders, she was one of the four rising stars in the country and was having such a glamorous life.
However, only she knew the truth. She was nothing more than a plaything to the capitalists.
She finally bagged a big-budget movie she had prepared for a long time, but the so-called investor was upset because she was unwilling to sleep with him.
The investor pulled out of the project suddenly, and the director chewed her head off. They told her that the investor pulled out his investment nonchalantly because of her. If she could not bring in new investments, she could forget about her career in the film industry.
In other words, if she failed to secure a new investor, she would be blacklisted. With the director’s status, it would be easy to blacklist a newcomer like her.
Therefore, even though she was disgusted by the investor’s predatory gaze, she still smiled and chatted with him.
Fortunately, there were many people here, and they were all important people. Otherwise, she would have been groped by now.
Sometimes she thought of leaving the entertainment industry and living her own life without considering anyone’s feelings.
However, she had to live up to the expectations of her parents, mentors, manager, assistant, and studio staff. They were all counting on her to make a living.
If she was out of work or was blacklisted, they would lose their jobs, and her parents and mentors were going to be disappointed.
“Mr. Wilson, the movie we’re going to shoot this time has a good plot and a strong cast. You’ll make a lot of money from it.”
“Ms. Kent, it is a big investment after all. I have to go back and discuss it with the board of directors. Whatever happen next depends on your performance. Don’t you think so? “Mr. Wilson said in broken English as he looked lustfully at Marie.
He had been lusting after the rising star for a long time. Now that he had a chance, he was going to have fun with her.
He was excited at the thought that he might be able to press himself on the beautiful petite body in front of him tonight.
“Mr. Wilson, do you need to go back and discuss it? Everyone knows you call the shots in the company. No one dares to refute your opinion. I guarantee you will make a fortune investing i
n this movie,” Marie said, still smiling.
“Ms. Kent! That not how it works! I have to be responsible toward my shareholders, right? No investment is guaranteed to make money these days. There are risks! Would you come to me if it was a sure win? Right? I have a lot of faith in you, but I has to think about it.”
‘Oh!’
Marie sighed to herself.
These investors were all the same.
Besides making money, they wanted other benefits too.
It was not easy for someone with no background who did not want to trade her body for resources like herself to make it to this point.
However, she was out of ideas. Either she traded her body for investments or waited for herself to get blacklisted.
Even if she was going to trade off her body, she should at least find someone younger and better-looking
Mr. Wilson was fat with a protruding belly, and also bald. He was old enough to be her father, and his small eyes would turn lustful whenever he saw a beautiful girl.
It disgusted her to sleep with someone like him. She would rather jump off into the river.
“Go back and think about it then, Mr. Wilson! I’ll ask the others if they’re interested. Goodbye!
With that, Marie turned around and left. She did not want to waste any more time with Mr. Wilson. Since she could not change her fate, she could always choose someone more pleasing t o the eyes.
Anyone who could enter this hall was either a celebrity or an investor, and she could always find a younger and better-looking guy.
“Ms. Kent! Ms. Kent! I can invest mores. Let’s talk mores!” Mr. Wilson quickly exclaimed, not expecting Marie to leave right away.
