Chapter 870
"This is a great opportunity for you to truly become a top player. No matter what, you must seize it."
Hudson said, pulling Vonnieโs arm and urging, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Dunlap. Itโs not like youโll lose a piece of flesh."
Johnathanโs face had turned ice-cold. I was getting anxious.
I whispered to Hudson, "Hudson, please stop talking. This is Vonnieโs and Mr. Dunlapโs private matter. Itโs best for us not to get involved."
"Wow, what a private matter this is. In our line of work, the last thing we want to do is offend the investors. Vonnie was immature; how could you be immature too, Ralda?"
Umโฆ What does it mean to be mature? Hudson spoke as if he were an old father.
Hudson was still urging Vonnie to apologize to Johnathan.
Vonnie was annoyed: "I donโt want to; Iโll just quit this movie."
Upon hearing this, Hudson became even more anxious. But he had no choice, so he ended up apologizing to Johnathan himself, "Iโm sorry, Mr. Dunlap. Vonnie is a bit immature. I apologize to you here, and I will definitely discipline her properly later."
"Oh, you apologized to me." Johnathan chuckled softly, then poured a few glasses of strong liquor and placed them in front of him, saying, "Since itโs an apology, show some sincerity and drink all of these."
"Johnathan!" Vonnie stood up and glared at him. "Donโt push your luck!"
Johnathan leaned back and smirked at her, saying, "Have I been too arrogant?"
Vonnie had more to say. Hudson quickly pulled her to sit down, signaling her to stop talking. Immediately, he apologized to Johnathan with a smile, "Drink, drink, Iโll drink right away."
Hudson said, then picked up the strong liquor in front of him and drank it in one gulp. The first three cups were fine, but when he got to the fourth cup, Hudsonโs face didnโt look too good; his whole face turned red. The wine was very strong, and I didnโt have anything to eat before drinking it, so naturally, I felt uncomfortable.
Johnathan was also ruthless, pouring eight cups of wine for Hudson. The guest hadnโt even arrived yet, and he was already giving Hudson so much alcohol, not afraid of getting someone drunk to death.
I couldnโt just stand by and handed the remaining four cups of wine back to Johnathan, saying to him, "Thatโs enough, donโt let your personal feelings with Vonnie harm innocent people."
Hudson burped and looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Private emotional issues, what does that mean?"
With outsiders present, I didnโt know how to explain it to him, so I said, "Itโs the meaning you think."
Hudson slowly furrowed his brow, looking back and forth between Johnathan and Vonnie. In just a few seconds, his face had already changed several times. He seemed to have guessed something, pulling Vonnieโs arm and asking in a low voice, "Are you in love? Why didnโt you tell me? Do you still think Iโm your agent?"
In this way, Hudson looked a bit lost and bewildered, completely devoid of the joy of Vonnie โgetting close toโ the largest investor.
I was shocked to the core. Really? Hudson likes her?
Hiss!
So, itโs not entirely unfounded to say that Johnathan harbored such animosity towards Hudson, is it?
I glanced at Johnathan and noticed that the man was staring darkly at Hudson holding Vonnieโs hand. That cold gaze could really rival Reynaldoโs.
With a dark thought in my mind, Johnathan suddenly cast a gloomy look at me.
I was taken aback. "Whatโs up?"
