Serena frowned, but she couldn't say anything. She knew that Amara was sacrificing her in exchange for the success of her movie."We poured a lot into 'Killing Lola.' I hope you can help us promote it. After all, with just your stamp of approval, our movie will get a lot more exposure," Amara said, making her appeal. Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed together."Haha, that's nothing but a small favor. I thought it'd be something bigger."Amara's face brightened up at that. She raised her glass and said, "In that case, thank you so much, Mr. Rougherty. Cheers."After drinking half the glass, Kenneth changed the topic. Staring at the glass in his hand, he said with a chuckle, "However, there are way too many Christmas movies. I don't have that many resources to work with. If I push your film up, someone else's has to come down. Amara, if I help you, I'll offend a lot of people. Although our friendship runs deep, this is a little difficult to pull off …"Amara instantly frowned. As she

Isaac pointed at Kenneth. "Get out of my sight right now."Kenneth shuddered. He turned to Amara and narrowed his eyes. When he realized that Amara knew this man, he blew his top. "I see how it is, Amara Cruz. It's one thing to push me away, but to ask someone to hurt me? You've got guts."As he scrambled to put his clothes back on, he continued through gritted teeth, "Just wait for your new film to be boycotted."Amara's heart squeezed. She immediately shook her head and shouted, "No, it's not like that. I don't know him. I didn't know he would come!""Fuck off and shut up. Just wait." Kenneth shoved Amara aside as she approached him, leaving the room huffily.Isaac immediately blocked him."Punk, what do you think you're doing? I'm telling you, if you dare lay a hand on me, the Rougherty family will …""You're shameless!" Isaac slapped him in the face.Amara's eyes almost popped out of her head at that sight. She screamed in a panic, "Isaac, what are you doing? Are you insane

Miles groggily put the phone to his ear. A man's tearful voice came, "Mr. Rivera, something happened.""What the hell happened bright and early in the morning? Did someone die?" Miles angrily said, sitting up."Our warehouses have been broken into—no, they've been robbed. They have been emptied out; not a single box remains."Miles' eyes grew wide like saucers. He jumped out of bed and sprinted out the door. In the next room, Christian opened his door sleepily to find himself face-to-face with an ashen Miles."Miles, what's the matter?""Mr. Vaughn, the warehouses were raided yesterday. All three warehouses, all ten tons of herbs are gone!" Miles cried.Christian felt himself stagger backward. Suddenly, he grabbed Miles and growled fiercely, "What did you say? All three warehouses and ten tons of herbs are gone? How is that possible? Even ten trucks wouldn't be able to move that many herbs. How could this happen? Didn't you say it was foolproof?""Sir, it must have been Isaac.

"Your sister-in-law?""Er, my wife's cousin. She's also a handpicked Nick's Angel. I can guarantee the movie's quality," Isaac said with a light laugh.The line went quiet for a few seconds. "Mr. Garten, from the way you're speaking, you aim to screen it worldwide?""Only you can pull this off easily, Mr. Henri, isn't that right? If not, who else would I go to?"Both of them burst into loud laughter."Mr. Garten, let me check my schedule. I'll bring a few of my colleagues over. Give me your address."After the discussion ended, Harry asked confusedly, "Sir, are you up to something again?"Isaac breathed out a smoke ring. Since some of these local film distributors didn't know what was good for them, then it was time to teach them a lesson.That night, Isaac brought Amara and Serena, all dolled-up, to the best hotel in the provincial capital, the Kavinsky Hotel. He'd already asked Harry to book a room and a conference room in advance. Right now, they waited by the entrance.In

"Did you think the women deserved to beg you for mercy just because Monastery Films boycotted this movie?" Isaac leaned down, leveling his icy gaze at Kenneth.Kenneth raised his head. When he saw Isaac's cold eyes, his heart stuttered. A chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but shiver."Isaac, what do you think you're doing? I'm telling you, even if you kill me, I still will ban this movie from playing in any of the theaters under our company," Kenneth said through gritted teeth."Kill you? No, I don't want to do that. I just wanted to let you know that you've made a huge mistake. You're not the sole owner of Monastery Films. Would the others say no to money too?" Isaac slapped Kenneth's cheek a few times before straightening up. Turning around to leave, he muttered, "It seems like the past few decades of his life was for nothing. Let him kneel here waiting for us. Elliot, join us for a drink."Over an hour later, Henri, Cal, and Travis said that they couldn't drink anym
