Quenton’s exp**ssion changed. Because Emma no longer mentioned the incident, he had almost forgotten about it. So, how did this old man know of it?
“That…that was…” Quenton tried to explain.
“Enough. The only reason I asked Emma to be my assistant, is because my expectations for her are high. On the other hand, I have no expectations for the rest of you because I simply don’t care,” Elder Roberts said disdainfully. “I believe God will eventually punish those with evil intentions.”
After speaking, Elder Roberts stood up to leave, but Quenton suddenly erupted in anger, “Did you think you are almighty just because you are an investor?”
“If I’m not almighty, would you be standing here before me?” the old man directly refuted. “Emma let you off, so you should appreciate it. If you try to do anything tricky again, even God won’t be able to save you.” After speaking, the old man walked out proudly.
Quenton was left behind, trembling in anger.
He really wanted to know what this old man’s true identity was.
How dare he look at everyone with disdain?
That night, after returning home, Quenton had no appetite. In the end, he gave his assistant a phone call and instructed him to handle some matters…
As a result of what he had done, the next morning, the production crew began to receive phone calls from the media asking if Emma was being bullied and if an investor had done something indecent with her!
The media called repeatedly, trying to confirm this information. So, Amias had no choice but to brush them off by saying there was no such thing happening. However, this did not prevent members of the crew from leaking information.
Information like photos of Emma washing clothes and cooking for the old man.
This time, the rumors once again spread like wildfire! In fact, people started to say that Eric knew of this and it had affected his marriage with Emma.
After seeing the news, Elder Roberts sat down with Amias and sighed, “This Quenton hasn’t learned a thing.”
Quenton’s scheme this time was quite ruthless. He thought, by leaking information to the media, everyone would assume the information came from Emma. His intention was for Emma and the old man to be at odds with each other while he sat to the side and reaped the benefits.
“Elder Roberts, what do you think of this matter?”
“We can’t let him stay,” Elder Roberts replied straightforwardly as he waved his fan.
“Why don’t you reveal your identity?”
“No rush…” Elder Roberts held him back. “Let him play his game until the end before we give him a huge faceslap. If we defeat him so quickly, it’s too easy on him. Meanwhile, find someone to replace him. The candidate can have an attitude, but can’t have bad intentions.”
“Yes, I understand,” Amias replied. In reality, even if the old man had not instructed him to do this, he still would have done it.
He believed, even if the film was a success, but the male lead was a dark-hearted person, it would be a stain on his production. There was no way he’d let that happen.
Initially, he was going to give Quenton a chance if he changed for the better. Who would have imagined that the evil desire in his heart would be reborn. In that case, Quenton could not blame them for what they were about to do.
“To be honest, the rascal’s acting is not bad…” Elder Roberts suddenly mentioned, “If he didn’t have to take over Kaleidoscope, he probably would have become an award-winning actor.”
“Mr. Roborts can act?” Amias was suddenly interested.
“There’s nothing he can’t do!” this was something Elder Roberts had always been proud of.
“In that case, why don’t you take care of Kaleidoscope for a few months and let Mr. Roborts come act?” Amias tried to suggest.
“You wish!” Elder Roberts scoffed. Who was he kidding? It hadn’t been easy for him to brush off his business to Eric. There was no way he’d stick his fi**gers back in. “Kaleidoscope can only be managed by Eric, my brain can no longer handle it…All I can do these days is act.”
Amias smiled and did not say another word. The old man had definitely gotten a lot lazier. However, it couldn’t be denied that he had built up the entire Kaleidoscope empire with his own hands. Those few years in New York were his glory years. But, after many years enjoying life with his grandchildren with no cares, the ambition he once had, had long faded. Yet, his brain was still one that not everyone could compete with.
“From the sounds of it, you’ve decided to acknowledge this granddaughter-in-law of yours?”
“Acknowledge? I haven’t seen her true capabilities yet,” the old man waved his fan furiously, “Let’s wait and see how she performs from now on.”
Amias looked at Elder Roberts helplessly. This old man had a stubborn mouth but soft heart. He was already protecting Emma to this extent, yet he was still denying what he felt.
But that wasn’t an issue to linger on, because he had to quickly go find a replacement.
…
“Who is this scruffy old man? Why does Emma have to follow him around?”
“Are the rumors true, Mr. Roborts? If he ends up splitting with Emma, I will no longer believe in the entertainment industry or love.”
“Anything is possible in the filthy entertainment industry. Perhaps Emma has gone down the wrong path.”
“Emma don’t act carelessly. What predicament have you put Mr. Roborts in?”
“I refuse to believe that the old man is an investor. Why does Emma need to wash his clothes and cook for him? What’s the story behind all this?”
“I wonder how Mr. Roborts feels about all this. Does he know about it?”
The public were in an uproar; spreading the rumors like wildfire. Of course, the public had a strong curiosity for the truth. They really wanted to know if Emma had actually given up on herself and abandoned her pride. Did she really give up on such a great husband to go cater for an old man?
Plenty of media companies made phone calls to Kaleidoscope…
But the PR department simply told them that the rumors were a deliberate attempt at defamation and everything was made up.
Of course, Eric saw the news as soon as it came out and his exp**ssion darkened. This was not because he believed in the rumors, but because he did not like that the old man had made his wife suffer in such a way.
He had always doted on Emma, so he barely let her do any housework at home. Yet, this old man was making her wash his clothes and cook for him!
What right did he have? She was his woman! Had he agreed to this?
“President…” Luke couldn’t quite read what Eric was feeling. Was he angry? He shouldn’t be. After all, Emma was not at fault.
“Forget it. I’ll tolerate it for now,” Eric closed his laptop and tried to contain the fire in his heart.
