“Easy for you to say, Mr. Hamerton! Are the Hamertons paying for it?”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes, a glint of iciness washing over them.
The board of directors supported different parties, and there was a minority who was dissatisfied with Zephyr
because his last name was Hamerton and not Baker.
“Half of Imperial Media’s shares have the last name Baker. Are you going to pay for it?”
“Well…”
Zephyr’s commanding presence shushed everyone.
The door to the meeting room opened suddenly, and a shrill voice echoed. “We’ll pay for this investment!”
Janine and Zephyr were stunned.
Noah stood with Hannah beside him. The woman beamed in victory. Her gaze on Janine was challenging.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe board of directors could not help exchanging whispers of comments.
“What are you doing here?” Janine got up and was going to call for security to drive her out.
Hannah took a step forward, yelling shrilly, “What are you doing? We’re here to invest in the film! Are you pushing
money that’s coming your way out, Madam Baker?”
Janine looked at her coldly, then glared at Noah.
“I’m chased out of the board, but my husband still has a spot here!” Hannah purposely smoothed down Noah’s suit
for him and sneered. “Right, Janine?”
Janine took a deep breath and stayed silent.
The more arrogant her opponent was, the calmer she could keep herself. It was because once a person was too full
of themselves, they would expose their weakness, and it would be easy to counter then.
“Mm, that’s right.” Janine shot Zephyr a look in secret and smiled at Hannah. “Noah does have a say in the board,
so how are you two planning to invest in the production?”
Hannah finally felt it was time to hold her head up high.
“We invest… $15,000,000!”

Zephyr stayed in the study for a long time.
When Cordelia went in with a mug, he could not help frowning when he saw its content.
“Don’t even think about having coffee at this hour!” Cordelia smiled. “It’s so late now. Milk is better.”
“Darling, I might have to…”
“No staying up late either!”
Zephyr chuckled.
He scooped her into his arms and sat her down on his lap. She was much heavier than before.

“I heard about the board meeting today.” Cordelia wrapped her arms around his neck. “Are you… waiting for the
investigation results?”
Zephyr could not help chuckling. He really could not keep anything from her.
“I do suspect where they got the money from,” he replied. “$15,000,000 in Eropah dollars, and the artistic film
doesn’t even need that much money. There must be something behind this!”
“They didn’t state any condition to invest?”
“There is…” Zephyr paused and answered, “Their condition is for Ava to be the female lead.”
Cordelia snorted.
Zephyr continued. “And Aunt Hannah said that they’ve also set up a new management company, Prestige Agency.
The money goes through Prestige’s accounts.”
“Uncle Noah’s okay with it?”
Zephyr’s eyes darkened. “Uncle Noah’s a puppet. He’s fine with whatever Hannah says.”
