New Investor

[Chapter 271]

Two middle-aged men walked up to David, Marie, and Hannah-one was tall and fat, while the other was short and skinny!

One was Homer Mulligan, a famous director directing Marie's movie, and the other was Mr. Wilson, who Marie chatted with initially.

"Mr. Mulligan!"

"Mr. Mulligan!"

Marie and Hannah shouted at the same time.

They disliked Homer.

However, they had no other choice. Although Homer was not as influential as the director holding the banquet today, he was already a first-tier director in the country, and a starlet like Marie could not afford to offend him.

Otherwise, they would not have to work so hard finding investors. They could just quit on the spot!

"Marie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Wilson. He's interested in our movie," Homer said to Marie.

"Mr. Mulligan, I've spoken to Ms. Kent, but she doesn't seem interested in my company's investment!" Mr. Wilson said pointedly.

"Oh? What's going on? Marie, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wilson? Our last investor pulled out because of you. Now that we finally got another one, you're trying to screw it up again? What's the matter with you? Do you want to star in the movie? Do you want a career in the entertainment industry? Tell me if you don't. I can help you out!" Homer scolded Marie.

He looked down on Marie. She had no background and was unwilling to sacrifice anything, yet she wanted to make it in the entertainment industry.

Could she have become one of the four rising stars in the country if it were not for Hannah, her manager with connections in the entertainment industry? Dream on!

However, some investors liked proud and innocent starlet who had just debuted. For example, Mr. Wilson, who was in front of him. Perhaps it gave them a better sense of conquest and accomplishment

"Mr. Mulligan! I've found a new investor!" Marie said, fighting back her grievance.

"Who is it?" Asked Homer.

"Mr. Lidell, and he's ready to invest in our movie," said Marie.

'Shit!'

Marie mentioned David's name before Hannah.could stop her.

It was obvious that David was a swindler. His current image could temporarily fool Homer, but what about when he had to cough up real money?

Once word about this got out, Marie would become a public enemy in the film industry, and it would be difficult for her to turn her fate around.

Her efforts over these two years were in vain!

Hannah's beautiful eyes glared at David as she thought of it. The man was a troublemaker with good looks.

David's strong mind power sensed Hannah's dissatisfaction with him, and he was puzzled!

'I'm f*cking investing in you.

'Why do you treat me like I'm the enemy?

'There's no reason for that, is there?

'You've been very nice to other investors, but why do you treat me differently? Is it because I'm investing too much money?

'Women! 

'They're unbelievable creatures.'

"I'm curious about where you work, Mr. Lidell," said Homer.

"I don't work for anyone. I'm friends with Ms. Kent. I heard she needs investors, and I'm interested in it myself, so I decided to put some money in," said David.

"How much are you prepared to invest then, Mr. Lidell?" Asked Homer.

David indeed looked extraordinary. He seemed a little more sophisticated than the heirs he was used to dealing with. If Marie had managed to bag an heir like this, it was normal that he would offer money to help her.

Still, he needed to find out how much money he was prepared to put in so he could plan his

next move.

It would be nice if he could settle it all at once, but the odds were against him!

Having these heirs spend millions or tens of millions of dollars in investments was already good enough, but there was no way they could get him to invest three hundred million to five hundred million dollars.

No one was that foolish. Few people would pay that much for a woman.

"It doesn't matter how much I have to invest! But I have one request!" David said.

"Go ahead, Mr. Lidell! We'll do our best to meet the demands of our investors," Homer said with a smile.

'So David wants to be the sole investor!'

It was a situation he was happy with. Having one investor was not the same as having many.
