Caesar smiled bitterly and said, “I know. He told me that the other party has fatal evidence against me, but I refuse to believe it. I’ve done this for so many years. Everything has been cleaned up properly. For this person to frame me like this, he must be someone in the industry. It’s most likely one of those old guys!”
“Okay, I see. I’ll talk to Jim Todd.”
On the other end of the line, Hank York also became serious.
At this moment, he was sitting in an office somewhere. The environment was very luxurious, befitting of his status as a big boss.
The southern headquarters of the Film and Television Association was in charge of the resources of film and television companies in 12 cities along the coast. It had deep influence and great authority.
Hank thought for a moment before he took out the phonebook and dialed a number.
At the same time in a general manager’s office of a particular network channel.
Jim was excitedly looking at a piece of antique porcelain on his table while Theo stood calmly across from him.
“Oh, Mr. Theo, I wouldn’t dare to accept such an expensive gift from you,” Jim grinned broadly and said hypocritically.
Theo merely chuckled coldly and said, “This is Mr. Clarke’s gift to you. You must accept it. Otherwise, it’ll be seen as disrespect.”
Jim rubbed his hands, bent his back, and glanced at the porcelain. He said with a flattering smile, “In that case, I’ll accept it then.”
Suddenly.
Jim’s cell phone rang. When he saw the ID display, he frowned and glanced at Theo, wanting to avoid answering the call.
“Pick up the call here,” Theo said coldly.
With no other alternative, Jim answered. Immediately, shouts and curses came through the line, followed by a threat. “Jim Todd, do you really think you’re so great now that you dare to defy Master Bailey? Are you tired of living? Have you forgotten how you got to this position today? I’m telling you right now, withdraw everything! Otherwise, you can make preparations for your own funeral!”
“Well, Mr. Hank, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but the other party has a very solid background. I’m afraid Master Bailey may not be able to hold the fort this time,” Jim glanced at Theo several times and said earnestly.
“Hehe, I know exactly what you’re trying to say. It’s all about the money, right? No matter how much the other party is paying you, I’ll double it,” Hank said.
“This…”
Jim glanced at Theo who nodded immediately.
“50 million,” Jim replied cheerfully.
“What? F*ck you! 50 million? Who the hell is so generous?”
Hank also got a shock.
Who the hell could it be?
50 million just like that?!
Were they trying to drive Caesar Bailey to his death?
“Yes, 50 million.” Jim smiled deviously.
Hank thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “Okay, I’ll transfer the money right away!”
A moment later, Theo saw 100 million being transferred into his account. He smiled, patted Jim on the shoulder, and said, “Well done. Mr. Clarke thinks highly of you. Don’t worry, this matter won’t affect you in any way.”
After that, Theo left.
Jim let out a sigh of relief, then rubbed his hands happily while looking at the antique on the table.
This was more than enough.
Ten minutes later, Theo returned to the office. He walked up to Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s done. The other party has transferred 100 million.”
Philip chuckled. “Very good. Caesar Bailey never would have thought that the trick today is just an appetizer for him! Continue. Today, every single thing that Caesar holds pride in will be destroyed one by one!”
Theo nodded.
Suddenly, Philip’s phone rang.
It was from Mindy Scott.
“Mr. Philip, something has happened. Madam Johnston… She…”
On the other end of the line, Mindy was sobbing and speaking incoherently!
Philip’s heart thumped. He stood up and asked, “What happened to Wynn?”
“We… We’re at the press conference… Many people… Very messy… Some people… Many people tried to attack… Madam Johnston was accidentally pushed by someone… Fell to the ground… Baby… The baby…”
Mindy cried intermittently, and it could be heard from the background noises that the scene was extremely chaotic!
Philip was dumbfounded at her words!
Wynn had fallen, and the baby…
