Chapter 69
With a long face, Bentley said, “I’m not interested in your private life outside. Don’t ever bring in that woman who looks like Isabella Johnson here again.”
Anderson retorted coldly. “It was Catherine Johnson’s fault back then. Why do you have to blame Isabella?” Bentley’s face became longer. Knocking his walking stick, he said, “I’m aged, but I’m not a fool.
“I have my words. I don’t allow any person who looks like Isabella Johnson to enter the Clark’s Mansion. Otherwise, I’ll cut off the ties with you,” Bentley roared in anger.
Then he couldn’t breathe at all, fainting on the ground.
Anderson had been cold and calm. As soon as he saw Bentley black out, he couldn’t care about anything. Immediately, he held his grandfather up and sent him to the hospital.
For a moment, the Clark’s Manson was chaotic. Catherine didn’t know anything about this at all. Her comics had been changed to update once per week. Comparing with the previous weeks, she had more idle time.
Catherine thought about her current situation carefully. She didn’t think she could get her children back shortly. Even if she sue Anderson in court, he had a powerful attorney group in Clark Group. She definitely couldn’t win the case.
Moreover, she was in jail before and she couldn’t earn as much money as Anderson did, which had become her disadvantage when filing the lawsuit case.
The children would be awarded to Anderson in the end.
Catherine was pretty clear about those facts. Hence, when Anderson took her children away, she had never thought of suing him in court.
Hence, firstly, she needed to raise her income as much as possible. In the future, if she had to file the lawsuit case against Anderson, she would have more advantages.
She checked the balance of her bank account … there was three million, which was the film and television copyright fee. She didn’t use a penny of them.
Catherine decided to look into the investment projects. Although she majored in finance in the university, she hadn’t had practical experience in this field in the past few years. Finally, she decided to ask Aurora if she knew any good investment projects.
They made an appointment to meet in Sky Club. Shaking the goblet, Aurora said, “I don’t have many investment projects in hands. I have only a few of them that could bring me
profits, but I’ve invested a large amount of money. The return on investment period is quite long. If you don’t have much money in hand, I don’t suggest you follow me in my current investments.”
Catherine also knew about it … the investments that Aurora and others had requested a high amount of money. Since they had invested a lot of money, the return on investment would be higher than other kinds of investments. For those kinds of investments, with her current money in the bank, she couldn’t get in at all.
“Honestly, I only have three million in my bank account. Since I was raising my children, I didn’t have any savings.”
Aurora said casually, “It’s alright. No matter how much you invested, if there’s any ROI, I’ll give you your portion according to your investment. But I can’t make the decision. Let’s go to talk to Ethan.”
“Ethan?” Catherine was confused.
Aurora nodded casually. “Yep. He set up a film company last year and hired a group of handsome young men and young pretty girls. Now they are going to join different contests. If any of them could start a career in the entertainment business, the profit would return pretty fast. This suits you better.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
In recent years, investment in such boys’ and girls’ bands had become quite popular. Although Catherine hadn’t looked into the details, she knew about it.
Aurora pushed Ethan’s office door open and mentioned the investment matters to Ethan. Reading the comic book in his hands, Ethan didn’t speak.
Aurora thought that Ethan was unwilling to help. She said impatiently, “Just tell us if you are willing to or not. Don’t waste our time.”
Ethan gazed at the comic book without even raising his head. “Have a rest first. Wait for me to finish reading. It’s almost ending.”
Aurora heaved a sigh. She bitched, “I even could guess out the ending for this kind of girls’ comics. The male and female characters will hold a wedding. The bridegroom kissed his bride happily. I’ve already found at least ten of such endings in the comic books on his desk.”
Catherine smiled faintly. She also felt that Ethan was a weird man but he was quite interesting.
After waiting for him for almost twenty minutes, they saw Ethan toss away the comic book. He stood up and looked at them coldly. “Let’s go.”
Catherine and Aurora gaped at him. “Where to go?”
“Pick up a handsome young man that you like. Let’s see if he would become popular.”
Catherine and Aurora exchanged a glance with each other. “Does it mean he has agreed?”
Ethan drove them to the dancing room where the trainees were practicing. When they went over, those trainees were in a class. It was a boys’ band.
There were over ten boys.
All of them were good-looking but in different ways. In the middle of them, the boy had a pair of seductive eyes. When he smiled, others would feel sweetness.
However, the boy who attracted Catherine the most was a boy standing at the side. He was young and vivid. He danced with all his strength, burning out his vitality. His sweat dripped along the hemline of his shirt…
Instead of looking sweet, the boy looked cold and calm.
After the dancing music ended, the group of boys saw Ethan, so they came up to greet him. “Hi, Mr. James.”
“Hi, Ethan.”
Other boys addressed Ethan as Mr. James, but only the cold-looking one called him Ethan.
Ethan nodded in response. Looking over at Catherine, he asked, “Tell me. Who do you like?”
Catherine looked at the group of boys who were younger than twenty and then looked at Ethan in confusion. She wondered if they would felt discouraged if she picked up her favorite in their presence.
As if he had understood what she was worried about, Ethan sneered. “No worries. If they couldn’t even bear your comments, they don’t need to join the variety show to start their career.”
Catherine clicked her tongue. “What a ruthless capitalist!”
“A capitalist needs to make money but not does charity,” Ethan didn’t care about Catherine’s comment towards him at all.
“Well, as a layman, I think they are all good. The boy with the seductive eyes in the middle should be able to attract a lot of fans. However, personally, I like the black-haired boy who was standing on the side. He called you Ethan just now.”
“I didn’t pay much attention to others, because they couldn’t attract me.” This comment from Catherine was pretty harsh. For an idle or a celebrity, nothing would be more horrible than being unable to attract others’ attention. As soon as she finished her words, other boys’ expressions changed.
“Have you heard it? You should keep on practicing and work harder. I will only pick up five out of ten of you to the variety shows,” said Ethan strictly, “I’ve provided you with the opportunity. You can’t blame me if you are unable to grab it.”
After talking to them, Ethan looked at Catherine. “Please go ahead and pick one. Guess who would become popular. I’ll give all the ROI from him to you.”
Catherine looked at Ethan in surprise. “Are you kidding me?” Ethan smiled like a gangster. “Just take it as your payment for helping me piss off Anderson Clark.”
Catherine shook her head and refused, “No, thanks. Probably we haven’t pissed him off at all. Even if we have, that’s exactly what I want to do.”
She couldn’t take it for granted to accept anything from a man. For an idol, Ethan must need to spend a large amount of money on training, packaging, and sending him to the shows.
“I have only three million in hands. If I could make a profit in the future, I’ll just take the ROI according to my portion.”
Ethan looked at her in appreciation. He shrugged and said, “It’s all up to you. Just simply pick one. Let me see if you have any potential.”
Catherine looked at the row of boys, hesitating.
The boy with the seductive eyes in the middle would be her best choice for sure because she has a hunch that he would definitely start an entertaining career and become popular.
However, she liked that black-haired boy very much.
When doing an investment, one should consider how to maximize the interests, and the biggest taboo was to do according to his or her own preferences.
