Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Only Trust Her Judgment Zavla looked down at the drink Melvin handed her.

“Have some tea, and you will get lucky,” Melvin said.

She smiled and took it, “Thank you, Mr. Pratt.”

Being ignored, Ezra was stiff. However, she could only maintain her smile and leave with Norah.

After all, almost all businessmen in Houston were here at the investment promotion conference today, and on no ground could she and Norah become a joke.

Simon didn’t speak up for Ezra and Norah. Seeing that Zayla was smiling sweetly at Melvin, he pulled a long face.

Then Melvin greeted Simon, and the latter simply responded with a nod, not saying much.

Soon, the lights dimmed, and the investment promotion conference began.

First, the host livened up the atmosphere, and then the stars performed.

After the lively opening, there was the recommendation of the upcoming dramas.

The event this time was different from before. Investors who were interested only needed to raise a sign, which indicated their intention to invest, and then there would be someone appointed to record.

The crews went up to the stage one after another, and the investors began to raise their signs.

It was already halfway through the process, yet Zayla was still not intrigued.

She looked at the lineup, the story, and the word of mouth from the production crew, and then began to hold up her sign.

However, every time she raised the sign, Simon would do the same.

And as soon as Simon raised his sign, Melvin immediately followed suit.

Zayla was dumbfounded.

One by one, the crews went on stage and left.

Ezra was very busy. She was like a piece of sticky candy stuck to the stage.

She participated in several dramas that were introduced in a row. She either played someone’s stepmom or some home wrecker in those plays.

She would surely play those roles well. After all, that was what kind of person she was.

“Next, please welcome the crew of ‘A Tale of a Lovesick Lady’ to come up on stage.” As soon as the host finished speaking, Ezra brought Norah up to the stage.

The cast of the main personnel began to introduce themselves.

Ezra smiled and said, “Hello, everyone, I am Ezra Grimes, and I play the owner of Ecstasy House in ‘A Tale of a Lovesick Lady’.”

Zayla thought, the owner of Ecstasy House?

Well, the implication of the building’s name is very clear. It’s a brothel, and you are a brothel keeper essentially. And you introduce yourself as the owner? That’s a nice way to put it.

But I have to admit that it’s a breakthrough for you.

Then Ezra said, “This is Norah Pollard, my daughter. She is a special guest this time, and this is her first appearance on screen. I hope she can have your support.”

In the next second, someone talked from the side.

“Mr. Russo, it sounds like a good drama. Don’t you want to invest?” Melvin asked.

Simon looked at Zayla’s hand out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she had no intention of raising the sign, he shook his head.

“Mr. Pratt, aren’t you?”

Melvin smiled, “After all, it is not my girlfriend’s first appearance on screen. Of course, I won’t consider it.”

He thought, the most important thing is that Ms. Vargas isn’t raising her sign! I can’t go against Mr.

Nash.

“Girlfriend?” Simon frowned.

“Is she not?” Melvin looked at Norah on the stage. “Isn’t Ms. Pollard your girlfriend, Mr. Russo?”

“She has nothing to do with me,” Simon answered without hesitation.

Melvin thought, she has nothing to do with you?

Yeah, right.

He grinned and said, “I’m sorry. My bad.”

At the same time, the host said, “Now, let’s welcome the crew of the upcoming drama ‘Become a Billionaire After the Divorce’.”

Zayla raised her sign at once upon hearing the drama’s name.

Obviously, the drama was about someone getting rich after getting a divorce. A drama like this sounded way better than those about some brothel keeper.

Soon, Simon raised his sign, and so did Melvin.

Hugh grinned and joked, “I noticed something. As long as Ms. Vargas is interested in investing something, Mr. Russo and Mr. Pratt will also raise their signs.”

Simon picked up the microphone in front of everyone and said, “I only trust her judgment.”

His words were nothing but meaningful.

The entire venue was instantly silent.

Everyone felt that things between Simon and Zayla had not ended. Instead, there might be a sequel.

Hugh was the director of the station after all. He reacted quickly and smiled, teasing Melvin, “Then, Mr.

Pratt, do you trust Ms. Vargas’ judgment as well?”

Melvin had a tiny blue tooth headset on his left ear. He was waiting for Lincoln’s instructions
