Chapter 821

What happened?

I stretched my neck and looked outside curiously. Soon, I saw a tall figure walking in with hands in pockets, taking confident and unrestrained steps.

And that person was none other than Johnathan.

Strange, what is Johnathan here for?

Wasnโ€™t it because of Vonnie?

I subconsciously glanced at Vonnie and saw her clutching her cup tightly, her head slightly lowered, with a frown full of unnaturalness between her brows.

She said, โ€œI, Iโ€™ll go up first.โ€

She said this and then ran upstairs.

Johnathan came in, glanced at her, and a touch of anger flashed across his handsome face that was always wearing a smile.

I sighed in my heart.

Judging from Johnathanโ€™s reaction, he seemed to be somewhat concerned about Vonnie. Looking at Vonnieโ€™s reaction again, it seems that she didnโ€™t have no feelings for Johnathan either.

So the issues between them need to be resolved properly; donโ€™t let them escalate like they did with Reynaldo and me, where small problems turned into big ones.

Lost in thought, I noticed Johnathan had already walked up to Anton.

He had come to see Anton today.

I walked over holding my cup.

Johnathan laughed at Anton and said, โ€œMr. Palmer, I called you; why didnโ€™t you answer?โ€

Anton glanced at Reynaldo and said with a faint smile, โ€œOh, really? The phone is charging on top; didnโ€™t you see it?โ€

โ€œOh, thatโ€™s okay. I can come pick you up myself.โ€

Anton frowned slightly and chuckled, โ€œI donโ€™t remember having anything to discuss with Mr. Dunlap today. Who is Mr. Dunlap?โ€

โ€œAh, I told you not to bring your phone with you!โ€

The group had already sent messages about the casting issue of the play โ€œRose Queenโ€ in the group chat, and several investors decided to hold another meeting. The meeting venue has been booked, and two investors have already arrived. You didnโ€™t reply, and I called you, but you didnโ€™t answer. Just now, I happened to pass by here, so I decided to personally invite you to come along.โ€

Anton held Essie and smiled nonchalantly, โ€œReorganize the meeting? How come I didnโ€™t know?โ€

โ€œOh, didnโ€™t I tell you that this was also decided by several major investors at the last minute, and itโ€™s better to start shooting as soon as the roles are set?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s fine,โ€ Anton chuckled. โ€œYou investors can attend this meeting; after all, the decision-making power for selecting roles is in your hands. Whether I go or not doesnโ€™t matter, right?โ€

โ€œOh, you got it wrong. Arenโ€™t you now reluctantly considered Lavonneโ€™s agent? If you donโ€™t go, do you not want Lavonne to participate in this play? After all, her role depends on your efforts as an agent to fight for it, right?โ€

Anton frowned deeply and looked at Reynaldo again.

Reynaldo, however, seemed to be oblivious to their conversation, casually sipping the tea in his cup as if he hadnโ€™t heard a word they said.

I looked at him speechlessly.

Even a fool could see that the so-called meeting was something he put together at the last minute, and Johnathan was someone he called in.

He went to great lengths to make sure Anton didnโ€™t have time to fight for custody.

โ€œAlright, Mr. Palmer, go change your clothes quickly. Iโ€™ll wait for you here.โ€

Johnathan said, sitting on the sofa and urging him with his eyes.

Anton saw through everything, but he wasnโ€™t angry. He just said to him lightly, โ€œOkay, then please ask Mr. Dunlap to wait for me for a while.โ€

With that, he looked at Essie again and said, โ€œI have something to do today, so I can only accompany you to the amusement park next time.โ€
