Ben furiously kicked the assistant director, “Where is she? Are you deaf? I asked you to bring her here! I’m going to call the company to withdraw the funds right away. Your “Concubines in the Palace” won’t get a penny from Infinity Group!”
“Bold words, Mr. Brooks.” Annetta suddenly spoke up. “People who don’t know the truth will think that you run Infinity Group!”
Ben was even more upset. He pointed to the assistant director and said, “Fine! I know what’s going on! Your crew and the ugly b*tch are working together to annoy me, right? I’ll show you whether I can make the decision and let Infinity Group withdraw the funds or not!”
“Don’t! Don’t!” The assistant director hurriedly said, “Mr. Brooks, please calm down. I swear we have nothing to do with this woman. She’s just a passerby that our director asked to act as an extra. She’ll leave after she’s paid. Mr. Brooks, you’re a generous man. Please let her off, and let’s settle this.”
Ben said, “I can let her off. If she slaps herself 50 times in front of me, I promise I won’t withdraw the funds!”
The assistant director weighed the odds. Annetta was just an unknown passer-by, and he could easily find someone to replace her. However, it would greatly impact the production once Infinity Group withdrew its funds. He was just an assistant director and could not afford to shoulder the responsibility.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked up to Annetta and said, “Do what Mr. Brooks said!”
Annetta ignored him. She raised the phone in her hand to reveal a chatbox, “Mr. Brooks, you’re certainly someone powerful. I’ve forwarded your threat to withdraw the funds to your superior. Let him deal with you!”
After saying that, Annetta turned around to leave.
Ben didn’t pay attention to what Annetta said at all. He pointed at Annetta and said, “Stop her! I’ll withdraw the funds if she doesn’t slap herself 50 times today!”
Just as the assistant director was about to take action, Ben’s cell phone rang. Ben’s face changed dramatically when he saw the caller ID!
With Ben there, Nana couldn’t help showing off. She ordered the assistant director, “Assistant Director, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and stop that b*tch, Annetta-”
Ben interrupted her, “Shut up! Everyone, shut up!”
The scene suddenly quieted down. Ben picked up the phone and said, “Hello? Mr. James, what can I do for you?” His tone became flattering.
Mr. James was Infinity Group’s Lance Foster’s personal assistant. Even a senior executive like Ben had to curry favour with him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar and dignified voice coming from the other end of the phone, “I didn’t know that I had to get your permission for Infinity Group’s investments or withdrawal of funds from investments.”
“Pre… President Foster.” Ben’s whole face was pale.
He never expected Lance Foster to personally call him. No one knew what Lance Foster told him, but Ben’s face immediately paled further. He half-heartedly ordered the assistant director, “Quick! Don’t let Annetta White leave!”
Nana’s eyes immediately lit up. “Hurry up and stop her. Don’t let that b*tch Annetta get away!”
Ben suddenly slapped Nana hard and scolded, “You wretch! You made me get into big trouble!”
…
The two sisters were stunned. Nana did not know what she had done wrong and went, crying to her sister for help.
Lulu also felt wronged for her sister. She said sadly, “Mr. Brooks, what did my sister do wrong? Why did you call her…”
