She spoke clearly and with a clear purpose, showing that she had thought things through.
It would be difficult for X Entertainment to disintegrate from within. The company had many artists, and one of the most prominent among them was the annual film queen, Lorelei.
Louis had long been dissatisfied with X Entertainment. Even if Elisa didn’t come to him today, he would take action to make the company disappear one day.
Others might not know, but having been in the entertainment industry for nearly three years, he was well aware of its sordid nature.
Take Elisa, for example. The company’s intention in signing her was simply to scapegoat her for others. What was ridiculous was that without a single photo, a clear video, or a recording, just a few lines on Twitter could incite a change in public opinion.
It was that easy to assassinate someone’s character, after all, online bullying wasn’t illegal.
In accordance with Elisa’s previous words, it was like the village dogs-when one barked, the others followed suit. The dogs barked deep in the village, yet they didn’t even know why they were barking.
However, to Louis, using dogs to describe these mindless netizens was an insult to the dogs.
Using mosquitoes to describe them would be more fitting. They shamelessly sucked people’s blood, without a hint of remorse, and instead felt that your struggle was delaying their feeding time. They were not kind at all.
He couldn’t acquire the company for the moment, and Louis knew he couldn’t shake off the ten percent of the shares Elisa had given him.
“I’ll take care of arranging people for you. You’re going to join the team, right?” he asked.
Elisa nodded. “Yes, we’re starting shooting next week.”
“Then focus on filming. Leave these matters to me.”
Louis handled things to Elisa’s satisfaction, but ten percent of the shares was still too little. Elisa planned to deposit more money into his account.
They chatted for a while, and Louis watched as Elisa carried her quiet cat, Mimi, in a pet carrier on her back. “Are you tired? Should I carry it for you?”
Elisa glanced back at the peacefully sleeping Mimi in the carrier. “No need, it’s quite attached to me.”
“Do you bring it with you when you’re filming?”
“I’ll hire an assistant to take care of it.” The first person Elisa thought of was Iris.
“Are you definitely settling in Bankshire now?”
“Yes, I’ve bought a house.”
“Where?”
“West District.”
West District was close to Louis’s Vaquita Bay. It would only take half an hour to drive, but the house prices were half the price. In Vaquita Bay, a down payment for a house would be a hundred million, while in West District, it would be fifty million.
“It’s quite close. We can visit each other anytime.”
That was not quite the case, but he would definitely treat her.
Elisa and he discussed recent renovations. Louis listened attentively. Having renovated a house himself, he was familiar with the selection of building materials and soft furnishings, as well as the preparations before construction.
Louis looked at his watch. It was two in the afternoon, and time always flew when he was with the person he liked. He wished time could slow to half its speed so he could spend more time with Elisa.
“Since we have nothing to do now, how about going to the amusement park?” He had looked up information online, and the amusement park had the highest ratings. He thought Elisa might like it.
Elisa looked at Louis’s face and heard him mention the “amusement park.” Her expression momentarily flashed with a distant look.
She remembered what Hamish had said to her that day.
Louis wasn’t Autumn, the person she had always wanted to take home from the amusement park, coaxing her with candied fruit. That person had long been dead.
She saw him being shot three times, once in the leg, once in the shoulder, and once in the left chest. She even heard those people say he had no heartbeat or breath left.
His body was dragged along, leaving a winding trail of blood, and ultimately, he was thrown into the sea.
Autumn’s body lay in the sea near Bankshire.
Her ashes were scattered in the sea near Chiwood.
Could they meet?
“Elisa…”
Elisa suddenly came to her senses and looked up at Louis’s face. “What?”
She looked dazed, like a soft rabbit. Louis smiled gently, “I said, how about we go to the amusement park?”
Bankshire had many romantic spots, and there were numerous amusement parks in all four directions.
“Which amusement park are you talking about?”
“Let’s go to South Water Island. The amusement park there is called Elisa Island, just like your name. I saw that it hasa high rating, and many people go there to take photos…” Louis was usually busy with filming and hadn’t experienced Bankshire’s entertainment venues, so he had no idea about the origin of “Elisa Island.”
He had simply looked up amusement parks online, and the first one with the highest rating was this “Elisa Amusement Park,” which contained many beautiful pictures. The most eye-catching were the various decorations of candied fruit.
Each amusement facility was very dreamy, decorated in various candy styles, like a candy house from a fairy tale.
Louis was immediately drawn in, and combined with the name of the amusement park, he decided to take Elisa there.
However, if he had scrolled down further, he would have seen a line in the introduction of the amusement park.
“This amusement park was built by Burns Group’s CEO, Hamish, for his beloved wife, Elisa.”
