125 Four Famous Men in Peace City
Carl smiled, âOf course, you guys talk. Iâll go over there.â
But he shot Isabella a warning glance when he turned around.
âThank you, Carl.â
Lukas put his hand on Isabellaâs shoulder, âPerhaps we can talk in a quiet place over there.â
Isabella got her shoulder away from his hand, âLukas, if Rosy sees us...â
âRosy is not here.â
Lukas smiled and whispered, âA project went wrong. As the creative director, she went to solve the problem. Donât worry.â
âI see.â
Isabella nodded. But she felt even more uncomfortable at Lukasâs words.
.....
So he knew very well that Rosy did not like her to interact with him?
So they didnât talk too much when Rosy was around. But now they could do whatever they wanted. Was that so?
But it was like ... an affair.
âWhatâs wrong? Do you feel all right?â Lukas said with concern.
âNo.â
Anyway, every second she spent with him was happy. Isabella immediately smiled, âIâm just a little tired. Whatâs up?â
âYou should be. You have classes during the day and a party at night.â
Lukas pulled Isabella to sit down and smiled, âBut I have good news for you. Perhaps youâll be excited after hearing it!â
âWhat is it?â
âOur company wants to make a youth movie at your school. They were looking for an actress, and I recommended you.â
Isabella opened her eyes wide at once, âYou mean, me? Movie? Can I do that?â
Lucas burst into laughter.
He said, âLook at you. Youâre so excited. The role is the heroineâs best friend, so any girl with a pretty face and relevant experience is qualified. You played in a drama before. I think you are perfect for this role.â
Isabella said excitedly, âBut my major wasnât acting. Perhaps...â
Isabellaâs thin fingers tightly grabbed his sleeves. He gently patted them, âDonât worry. Itâs just a minor character. Youâll just play several times. It doesnât require good acting skills. But there will be handsome money. I think maybe youâll like it.â
Isabella was happy, âThank you, Lukas! Iâm so lucky to have you!â
Lukas smiled, âDonât say that again, or I will get mad.â
âOkay. Then Iâll give you a toast!â Isabella picked up her glass, âCheers!â
She beamed, looking very beautiful. Lukas raised his glass to touch hers, âCheers.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But just as Isabella finished drinking, she felt a piercing gaze towards her from afar. She put down the glass and followed the gaze.
She met Josephâs cold eyes.
They were cold and piercing.
She coughed.
Isabella was so scared. She smiled dryly at Joseph. Lukas immediately put down his glass and patted her back. âYou drank too quickly? Are you choking?â
âIâm fine.â
Isabella smiled at Lucas. She looked at Joseph again, only to find that he suddenly pulled a woman to sit beside him.
The woman seemed to have spilled wine on him. She was wiping it between his legs. It looked like...
He stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, looking like an evil noble playboy who was enjoying service from others.
But that was not the point.
The most important thing was that the woman beside him was Doris.
âDamn it! Why her?â
âAre you blind?â
Isabella didnât like Joseph. But she felt depressed when she saw that he was with Doris.
âPerhaps itâs because Doris offended me just now. So I think Joseph is depreciating himself.â
Isabella thought to herself.
âOh, youâre also looking at that...â
Lukas followed Isabellaâs gaze, smiling, âMr. Zachary, one of the four famous men in Peace City.â
âWhat?â âFour famous men in Peace City?â Isabella came to her senses.
âJoseph, Cedric, Jayden, Zachary.â
Lukas shook his glass and continued, âThey all enjoy powerful families, who have connections in business, politics, finance and economics, and entertainment. Most parts of this city are under their control. Itâs said that they are also famous abroad.â
âThe four families intertwined in many aspects, and the four men are in similar ages. Besides, they often stay together. So they are called four famous men in Peace City. Havenât you heard of it? But usually, girls pay little attention to this, right?â
âI know Zachary. Itâs said that he frequently changes his girlfriend.â Isabella said, âI also heard Jaydenâs name before. But I donât know him.â
âOkay.â
Lukas nodded. âZachary is the only son of an entertainment tycoon. He is often reported to have scandals with female stars, so many people know him. Jayden is from a bank family, which had cooperated with my family. But he only looks nice. Actually he is very foxy and cunning. He acts like Zachary.â
âSo Joseph is one of the four famous men.â Isabella was thoughtful.
Lucas laughed.
He added, âHe is the most famous one because he is the richest. The Wilsons interferes with everything profitable.â
âOh.â Isabella scratched her head and asked curiously, âHow rich is the richest?â
âHow rich?â
Lukas laughed loudly, âGood question! Joseph doesnât rank top in the Global Fortune List. But it was evaluated through his status as the president of the Global Group. He is not even 30 years old yet. But he is the successor of the Wilsons. If they take his status and the wealth of the consortium under his name into account, his wealth is immeasurable. He can be considered as a rich, respectable, and young noble man. But... â
âBut what?â
âIt was said that the Wilsons had strict family rules. Charlie hated people to address his grandson like that. Gradually, no one dared to mention him as one of the four famous men in Peace City. So many people donât even know that he is one of them.
Isabella recalled Charlieâs seriousness and nodded in agreement, âThatâs true. But how about the other one? I havenât even heard of that name before.â
âYou mean Cedric?â
Lukas nodded, âCedric has often been abroad. His family has a business in medicine and design. But thatâs not the reason why you havenât heard of him. Itâs because he is well protected.â
âProtected? What does that mean?â
