There might have been a mishap last night, but it was said that the money was first wired to Susan so there should not be an issue with the money.
As for President Lawson, well he deserved it!
As a matter of fact, she had no idea what Joel did to President Lawson. Although she had not completely lost her consciousness last night, it was still a blur.
Lucy did not catch what everyone was talking about then.
Hence, she was unaware that Joel had expelled Yesheng from the capital.
Once Lucy got through to Susan, she smiled. “Sister Susan, about the... appearance fee last night, is it a convenient time for you to transfer it to me?”
On the other end of the line, Susan’s tone sounded rather helpless.
“I’m sorry, Lu. It’s possible that... we can’t get the money anymore.”
Lucy was dumbstruck.
“What?”
“Sigh! Did something happen last night? I received a call today, saying that you offended a very important guest. The person pulled out from the investment, so...”
Lucy was speechless.
“How about this? If you really need the money, I have some spare cash at hand. I can lend it to you and you can pay back anytime you’re able to. There’s no hurry.”
Lucy immediately replied, “It’s okay. Thank you, Sister Susan.”
After hanging up, Lucy was overwhelmed with a heavy heart.
It had never occurred to her that she would not obtain the money for last night.
Feeling defeated, she put her hands around her head and sighed.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was from Old Fourth Cecil.
With a frown, Lucy impatiently picked up the call. “What do you want again?”
“Oh, good girl. When are you giving me the money you promised? It’s the 25th now and it wouldn’t be long until it’s the end of the month. The people from the other side are already urging.”
Lucy wished she could get to the other end of the line and strangle him to death.
She spoke through clenched teeth, “I said that I’ll give it to you after the drama is completed. Is the shooting for the drama over? What’s the rush?”
Old Fourth Cecil scoffed.
“Fine. The due date is the end of the month anyway. Don’t blame me for what’s to come if you can’t fork out the money or if you even dare to lie to me.”
Old Fourth Cecil then ended the call.
Today, Lucy had just arrived on set when she heard that a major investor was coming for a studio inspection tour.
Following a query in detail, she found out that it was Joel.
Although Anning International was the main sponsor of the drama, there were also other individual investors and companies.
Joel was one of them.
Everyone was bubbling over with enthusiasm at the news.
Who was Joel Foster? He was the Second Young Master of the Fosters, one of the Four Great Clans, and a well known eligible bachelor.
Despite being a frequent headliner of the tabloids and the talk of the town, no one had actually been within close distance of him.
Over the years, Joel, following in the footsteps of Gideon, had invested in many dramas but none of the times had he gone to the set for inspection.
Thus, the people were so excited upon receiving the news.
