“Mom,” Zephyr answered helplessly and grumbled about Janine in his mind over a thousand times.
How could his own mother do him dirty like this!?
“Mom, what’s the matter?”
“You took care of it?”
“Of what?” Zephyr was perplexed.
“What are you talking about? Chad Green, duh!”
Janine opened fire on the line like a machine gun.
“Goodness, Zephyr, well done! This production we invested in costs so much. It’s a collaboration, yes, but we need to make sure everyone from the director to the actors is clean! No scandal! That Chad won an international award out of nowhere. Don’t you think it’s strange? Are you not looking him up?”
“I—”
Zephyr was going to say that he had, but Janine interrupted him.
“I knew that you hadn’t!”
“Mom!” Zephyr slapped a hand over his face.
“Hah, are you not doing anything if I don’t ask you to?”
Zephyr was at a loss for words.
“Zephyr Hamerton, you have shares in Imperial Media too! Look at how you’re acting as the big shareholder! Cordelia’s so much better than you!”
“Huh?”
“Cordelia investigated Chad’s background in detail as soon as she found out that he’s the director!”
Zephyr took a deep breath and pinched his brows, feeling a headache.
There was another familiar voice on the other end of the line.
“Janine, quit it! You just came back from Chaiseland. Have a break! Besides, I think our Zephyr’s very decent. Stop complaining about him!”
