Chapter 936

"Hugh's invited a few investors and producers he knows for dinner," said Genevieve after hanging up. "What time do you get off work? Do you want to come along?" Armand glanced at his phone. "I have to join Robert for dinner with some finance ministers."

Aware that it was an important event, the woman said nothing.

As she left the information office at half past five, a bodyguard drove her to Johanna's place so she could wait for the latter to finish packing up before leaving together. Hugh had asked to meet up at Jazona Clubhouse.

As one of the most top-tier clubhouses in Jadeborough, it was located in the renowned Kushburn Alley. Many celebrities and high-ranking individuals would dine here. Being Cooper's friend, Hugh knew not to mess with Genevieve, let alone Johanna.

Despite Johanna and Timothy having been secretly married for a few years and then divorced in the past, everyone within the circle knew that the couple had a daughter whom Timothy loved to bits. He would also go home to accompany his wife and child after work.

All the people Hugh had invited tonight were reputable producers and investors.

After entering the private room and seating themselves, everyone chatted as they ate.

This project was a brilliant plan set up by Beluga Media. All the main investors and directors had been decided on, whereas Hugh wanted to have Jerry Pann of Genevieve Orsi Productions as the film's lead actor.

Genevieve knew what Hugh was up to the moment she received the script. She was no fool.

First of all, Hugh was aware of Cooper being her brother and decided to cast an actor from her company. That meant if he didn't have enough of a budget, he could still ask Cooper for some investment funds. He also knew what Armand was currently doing and was hoping to make use of his connections with the latter to gain early approvals for the film's release.

Meanwhile, Hugh had decided to leave all the designs to Johanna because of her husband's identity. Channeling some funds into a movie would be no issue for Forlisle Medical, given its wealth.

It was a well-thought-out plan, but Genevieve knew they had nothing to lose as well.

Although Jerry had faced some difficulty after his fight with Charlotte, many continued to look up to his abilities, and he still had the title of best actor. Moreover, all his followers were die-hard fans who were more than willing to splurge on anything he was involved in.

Casting Jerry as the film's lead actor would raise her production company's popularity, and more so if he were to win another best actor award.

Having read the script, Johanna leaned toward Genevieve. "I think the script's pretty good. I'll take it."

As a clothing designer, Johanna had the same aspirations as others in her field-to win herself an award and become the object of her peers' envy.

Now that she had a chance to earn some cash and unleash her creativity, why wouldn't she be interested?

Seeing both women interested in the project, Hugh magnanimously allowed Johanna to name her price, even going as far as to assure her that no investor or producer would get in her way. Halfway through dinner, Johanna left the room after a word with Genevieve.

Jazona Clubhouse was humongous and shaped like a quadrangle. Upon walking out of the restroom, Johanna glanced at her unfamiliar surroundings and realized she was lost.

Why didn't I bring my phone with me?

The woman walked along the corridor hoping to ask a waiter for help, only to find no one. Then, while spacing out, she bumped into someone.

Johanna took a few steps back before noticing a tall man standing in front of her.

The man wore a black silk shirt lined with gold thread that was tucked into a pair of suit trousers. Despite the banded cuffs and large lapels making him look like he grew up in an Epean palace, there was nothing elegant or noble about his presence. Instead, he looked dangerous and bloodthirsty.

As the man glanced down at Johanna with a pair of rarely-seen purple eyes, he let out a whistle.

"Are you lost, Kitty?"
