Chad suddenly felt chills on his back. When he looked around, there was nothing. The spacious recording studio was orderly and functioning as usual.
He took a deep breath. He was most probably frightened by Zephyr’s gaze just now.
In a room nearby, however…
“This low-life?” Nicholas crossed his leg, resting against the lambskin couch. He had drunk half of the whisky in his hand, and there was a smirk on his lips.
Zephyr looked at him. “You know him?”
“Chad Green, right?” Nicholas smiled. “I heard the others mention him before back in Jangasas.”
Zephyr asked, “What kind of person is he?”
“What saint could someone who shoots those kinds of films be?” Nicholas cracked a grin. “It’s said that he often tricks university girls with his identity as a director. Many art students got tricked and were cheated financially and sexually.
“After what happened, those girls dared not report to the police due to societal pressure and could only swallow their grievances.”
“F*ck!” Josiah yelled, “I can’t believe someone so disgusting actually exists! Why didn’t you do away with the evil for the people back then, Nicholas?”
Nicholas chortled and poured himself more whisky.
“Do you know who invested in his productions?”
Josiah shook his head in puzzlement.
Nicholas’ eyes were on Zephyr when he uttered, “William Jenner!”
Zephyr’s gaze darkened as his fingers tightened around the glass. If Nicholas had not brought this name up, he would have forgotten it already.
“Does… William Jenner still have some kind of ploy against Cordelia?” Zephyr looked alert. “He didn’t send Chad, did he?”
“Z, you might’ve thought too much into this.” Frederic smiled at him. “I heard from the law firm in Jangasas that William Jenner’s been in a few commercial court cases recently, and his company’s barely withstanding. It’s going to the bank soon.”
