Chapter 124 The Idle President
In the ward, Evan poured a glass of water for Suzy and then asked, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to buy it.”
Suzy took the water and took a sip before shaking his head. “I’m not hungry.”
Her head was still groggy, and scenes of Janet’s death surfaced in her mind. This time, she didn’t cry anymore. Just as she was about to ask something, Evan seemed to have noticed what she was thinking, so he opened his mouth and said, “Nannie escaped from the bodyguards.”
A trace of disbelief flashed within Suzy’s eyes when she heard this. “She fled?”
“Yes.” Evan told her everything that Tommy had found.
“Nannie Jacob should be a professional agent from some investment bank. Not only her information, but her face might also be fake.”
It must be said that this woman was very dangerous.
Suzy instantly remembered that Nannie always did her makeup by herself, which was why the makeup artist was forbidden from touching her face.
Thinking back, Suzy blamed himself even more.
“It’s my fault. I didn’t even know her strength before I came up with such a stupid method.”
At present, Evan only suspected that she was sent by the Carters family, but as soon as he said this, Suzy denied it.
“She’s not from the Carters family. I’ve already investigated when Levy kidnapped me. Someone was secretly helping him. I confronted Earl, and he wasn’t the one who injured me this time.”
Hearing that, Evan frowned slightly.
“What about Michael?”
As soon as heard this, Suzy suddenly realized that it was not Earl, but Michael.
Suzy hurriedly took out her phone and called Yvonne.
“Yvonne, what has Michael been busy with recently? Does he have any plans for me?”
“No, according to what you said, I am now his assistant. Didn’t Aaron’s death get exposed some time ago? Now the Edgar family has pushed the blame onto him. He has been busy dealing with the Edgar family.”
“What’s wrong? Suzy, did something happen to you?”
“I’m fine.” Suzy’s lips twitched. After saying a few more words, she hung up the phone and looked at Evan.
“It’s not Michael. It has nothing to do with the Carters family.”
Then why did Nannie want to take Suzy’s life so many times?
This question surfaced in their minds, but none of them came to a conclusion.
…
Two days later, Suzy finished attending Janet’s funeral in Somo City and returned to the Ancient Town to continue filming.
For the sake of Suzy’s safety, Evan accompanied her. This time, he was fully prepared and planned to stay in the Ancient Town for a long time. Neither mentioned what had happened before they parted on bad terms.
When they arrived at theAncient Town, the two put down their things and were ready to go to the crew.
“If you are busy with work, you don’t have to accompany me deliberately. Just stay in the hotel.”
Before coming here, Suzy had already advised Evan not to come with her, but it was useless.
Evan, “Not at all.”
Suzy was a little speechless. Was the president so idle nowadays?
But she didn’t say anything further. Since Janet’s death, Suzy had become much less talkative, and she couldn’t be bothered to argue with Evan about love any longer.
When he arrived at the set, Sean looked at Evan, who was following behind Suzy, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes. Why was this guy here again?
“Suzy, let’s go. I’ll introduce someone to you.”
“Who is it?” Suzy was puzzled.
“You’ll know when you get to the lounge.” A mysterious look flashed across Sean” face.
Suzy frowned slightly and followed Sean to the lounge, followed by Evan.
The door of the lounge was opened, and a man in a black sweater stood in front of the window with his back to them.
Hearing the noise, he turned around.
The man had delicate features, looked gentle and elegant, and exuded a noble aura from head to toe.
When his gaze came into contact with that face, Suzy was instantly shocked.
“Mr. Sullivan.”
Jepson was 25 years old. He was also a member of the entertainment industry, but he specialized in making movies. The box office of every movie was extremely popular.
Most importantly, he was the son of Clifford Smith who is the Smith Group’s President.
Jepson walked forward, extended his hand toward Suzy, and said with a smile on his face, “Nice to meet you, Miss Carters.”
“Nice to meet you.”
He turned to Evan and said, “Mr. Hughes, nice to meet you.”
This brother-in-law that grandfather had selected was quite handsome! Jepson thought in his heart.
“Nice to meet you.” Evan stretched out his hand politely, and there was a flash of darkness in his eyes.
“Why would Mr. Sullivan come here?” asked Suzy.
Sean answered her doubts. “Jepson wants to play the third male lead in our film.”
Suzy: ?!
In an instant, her eyes widened.
The role of the third male lead was needed in the later stages, but there was still no suitable candidate. Was Jepson, a Best Actor who specialized in film, going to be her third male lead???
“Mr. Sullivan, you…” Suzy couldn’t believe it.
“What is it? Miss Carters, am I not suitable?” Jepson asked with a decisive smile.
Suzy hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no, no! It suits you! No, no, it’s not suitable… Mr. Sullivan, this is the third male lead. Why did you think of our production team?”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about the role. To tell you the truth, I have always been your fan. Please give me a chance.”
Evan’s answer infuriated Suzy to the extreme.
The words of the movie emperor made her seriously suspect that he was sent to plot against her.
In the end, Suzy had repeatedly persuaded Jepson not to think about it. However, his face was firm. The two of them had signed the contract and he did not have any request for the remuneration. The only request was that they take the role of the third male lead. Suzy, on the other hand, had readily agreed.
After signing the contract, Jepson turned his gaze to Evan.
“I’ve long heard of Mr. Hughes’s reputation. You’re the investor for this drama, aren’t you? Mr. Hughes has so many things to deal with every day, why are you on set every day?”
A thread of a deep smile was hidden within Jepson’s decisive smile.
Evan calmly said, “This drama is an important investment for the Hughes Group this year. There were a lot of problems before, so I naturally have to come and keep an eye on it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Sean and Suzy exchanged glances and felt that something was wrong with the two of them.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, the director outside called for the shooting and the two of them went out.
Only Evan and Jepson were left in the lounge.
“Mr. Sullivan, you’re not here just to play the third male lead, are you?” A cold light flashed across the eyes of the man opposite Evan.
Jepson was very straightforward. “Of course, I heard from my dad that you are the fiance that my grandfather chose for my cousin, so I came to take a look.”
“Since you come here for me, why did you come to play the third male lead?”
“Or else?”
Naturally, he had to follow her father’s request and find out exactly what sort of relationship Evan had with Suzy!
If Evan really liked Suzy, he couldn’t accept a brother-in-law like him!
“I don’t have any relationship with Suzy. Mr. Sullivan, you don’t have to worry about it.”
After saying that, Evan stood up directly, exuding a gloomy aura from head to toe, and then left.
Jepson complained behind her back, “Evan, I will be your brother-in-law in the future. Your attitude towards me will be better!”
Hearing that, Evan’s eyes flashed with coldness.
Brother-in-law? Impossible.
Jepson had originally wanted Evan to go straight back to Somo City, but his direct return was a sign of a guilty conscience.
However, Wendy was still nowhere to be found, and the engagement could not be dissolved.
Evan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Looking at Suzy, who was playing with Sean, he felt even more agitated.
