Chapter 522

“Since it’s a romance movie, I intend to invest one hundred million. What do you think?” Kate was shocked to hear Dixon’s offer.

“What? One hundred million?” She was only expecting Dixon to invest a maximum of ten million.

“Yup, I knew that Fraser Corporation would be funding the movie partially too.” A cold smirk surfaced on Dixon’s face and he continued, “How much would Fraser Corporation be investing?”

Kate’s face flushed with embarrassment and said, “Fraser Corporation can only invest fifty million.”

It was apparent that the disparity between Haddock Group and Fraser Corporation was getting wider.

“Don’t worry, aunt, we’re family. I won’t leave you in the lurch when you need help.” Dixon gave a gentle pat on Kate’s hand and said, “Feel free to let me know any time if any of your movies need funding in the future. I have more spare funds. When does shooting start for the movie?”

“Next Friday is an auspicious day,” Kate replied with an awkward expression on her face. Dixon was known for his brutal ways and it was very unlike him to be so kind. She suspected that he might be secretly plotting something to gain additional benefits from the movie.

Given Kate’s age and experience, she was not so naïve as to think that Dixon really had faith in the movie’s potential.

But faced with the cruel reality, she had no other choice but to agree to her nephew’s requirements.

“Very well then, good luck and I hope that the filming goes smoothly. I’ll get my finance team to liaise with you regarding the investment.” Dixon looked at Kate expressionlessly. The frosty look on his face, in addition to his feminine-features, exuded a bone-chilling aura.

Naturally, Kate was happy to get the investment, but for some unknown reason, she could not help but feel worried.

That very night, the new movie became one of the trending topics on search engines.

Genius director Frank is directing a new movie.

Would you rather date an angel or a devil?

Helena and Cameron, the hottest on-screen couple!

Those were the top three searches that night.

The female lead, Helena, was one of the most popular actress lately. Her popularity sky-rocketed after she starred in a web series about college life.

However, her fame was only limited to the drama circles. This upcoming movie would be her first involvement in a movie production.

The male lead, Cameron, was the latest trending star. He had a handsome face and a bright disposition. He was also previously a member of a Korean boy group.

Cameron’s name was a frequent search term all-year long and he had scandals with numerous female celebrities.

The new movie had already been hyped up before the filming began with these two stars as the cast.

Everyone had their eyes on the movie.

Netizens were flooding Twitter with their comments on the movie.

Meanwhile, Greg was scrolling through Twitter while eating popcorn in his room.

After seeing Frank’s introduction on the movie, he tossed his phone away and sneered out loud.

Then, he picked up the script next to him and started studying it.

How could that trashy commercialized romance movie be compared to this script in my hands?

Greg was getting increasingly frustrated.

He did not know how and why, but he plucked up the courage and rang up the lady who sent him the script that day.

But… her phone was switched off.

She switched off her phone?

Thinking that he could have dialed the wrong number, Greg tried making the call again.

But she was still unreachable.

Feeling dispirited, Greg tossed his phone away once more and sat on his stool silently.

Is that woman a scammer?

She must be fooling me.

Greg had not been able to make up his mind whether to believe her or not.

Just when he finally decided to place his faith in her, he was unable to reach her.

He understood that no one would actually work with a director with a tarnished reputation and dark past like him.

Dreams? Those were exclusive privileges for the rich and powerful.

The man heaved a loud sigh.

He grabbed a beer bottle from underneath the bed and intended to gulp down the entire bottle, but realized it was empty.

Greg clearly remembered that he had not drunk it…

Just then, his son returned home from school and saw him holding the bottle. With an obstinate expression on his small face which spelled displeasure, the little boy said, “I’ll leave home if I ever see you drink again.”

Greg glared at the boy and asked, “Was it you who emptied my beer bottle?”

“Hmph! I am telling you now: As long as you dare to drink, I will not hesitate to pour it away,” the little one stated and started working on his homework.
