Chapter 25 She didn’t live well at the Grant’s house
Natalie left with an aggrieved expression. Hans sat in his office and pinched the bridge of his nose.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He was thinking about Natalie’s matter.
In any case, he helped Natalie this time in return for their friendship in those years.
“Find Bobby’s contact information.”
David was stunned. “Bobby?”
“The one who wrote Thousands of Miles.”
David answered and left.
However, he didn’t expect that the investigation would go on for a few days.
All his information on the Internet had been encrypted. Even contacted the website backstage, he only got a mobile phone number in the end.
The owner of Bobby’s number was actually in Tempe City?
…
Hellen had just finished live streaming. While removing her makeup, she watched Luz by her side.
Luz dutifully covered all the cameras and equipment with an anti-grey cover.
Hellen couldn’t help but laugh. “Nanny will do it.”
Luz shook his head and said, “It’s better to be careful with professional equipment.” To him, this equipment was expensive, so he had to cherish them.
Hellen laughed. “Recently, Evert hasn’t made trouble for you, has he?”
“No, don’t worry.”
Ever since Everet learned that Hellen had been doing makeup at home, he had been dissatisfied.
However, under Hellen’s threat, he did not dare to say a word. All he could do was glance at Luz, who came to the home every day.
As long as men approached her, Everet would keep a watchful eye on her.
Hellen thought that it was probably because her last relationship with Hans had cast too deep of a shadow on her brother’s heart.
As the two chatted, Hellen’s cell phone rang.
She picked it up and was surprised.
The mobile phone had been personally modified by her. In addition to the main system, there was another hidden system.
There were many grooves hidden in it for her to switch the number from time to time.
The phone card called today was the contact information of Bobby that she left on the website.
The novel website was looking for her?
Hellen picked up the phone and turned on the voice change. “Hello.”
A familiar voice sounded from the other end, “Hello.”
It was just one word, but the familiar coldness came to her.
Hellen moved her hand away and looked at the system display, suspecting that the phone system had gone wrong. How did Hans get Bobby’s phone number?
After confirming that the system was correct, Hellen narrowed her eyes and pretended that she didn’t hear anything. “Who is it?”
“This is Hans of the Grant Group. You are Bobby?” His voice was faint.
“Yes, Mr. Grant. What’s the matter?” Hellen held the makeup remover in her hand and soaked the fake eyelashes on her eyes.
“Do you have time? I’d like to discuss Thousands of Miles’s female lead selection with you.”
Hellen sneered in her heart and remembered that she asked Kenny to change to the leading role last time.
It turned out that Hans had called for the sake of Natalie.
Her voice was cold. After the voice transfer, her masculine voice sounded stiffer. “This matter can’t be discussed.”
Natalie wanted to act like a chivalrous hero with her coquettish appearance?
On the other side, there was a pause. “I believe in Director Lee’s technical skills. He believes that Natalie is very suitable for the role. Bobby, I’m sure you want your novel to be at its best.”
Hellen narrowed her eyes and carefully pinched off her eyelashes, “She’s not suitable.”
She didn’t explain at all.
The voice on the other side cooled down. “The investors have the right to choose their actors. I hope that you can understand.”
Hellen sneered. “Then why did you call me? If you have the ability, withdraw your investment!”
She hung up the phone and threw the phone on the dressing table angrily with a sneer.
…
In The Grant Group, Hans looked coldly at the phone that had been hung up.
He didn’t take it seriously. He was still dealing with documents in his hand, and his mobile phone was on speaker.
He didn’t expect to meet such a person!
David stood aside and hated himself for hearing it.
It was the first time in so many years that he had seen Mr. Grant was hung up.
“If you have the ability, withdraw your investment.” The tone was extremely rogue.
David walked forward carefully and looked at Hans, who was frowning as he stared at the phone.
“Mr. Grant, should we call back?”
“No,” Hans said coldly.
“Do we need to apply pressure on the director?” David asked.
Hans shook his head with a deep frown.
He did promise Natalie this matter, but it was useless to put pressure on Kenny. It was all Bobby’s fault.
As an investor, Hans knew that the author had not sold the copyright, but only commissioned the shooting.
He did have the right to choose the actor.
His face darkened. “Bobby is from Tempe City. Go check it out. I’ll talk to him face to face.”
A face-to-face negotiation was most effective. If it was really not possible, he could buy it at a high price.
David’s face was bitter.
What kind of tasks had Mr. Grant sent him recently?
He did not find out Bobby’s real identity after several days of investigation, nor did he find out Hellen’s hospitalization information.
David, who had always worked well, felt that he might have had some bad luck recently.
Hans narrowed his eyes. He had just heard music from the other side.
He heard this music when he watched Hellen’s live broadcast last time.
It was a music for a very small audience.
He knew that Hellen’s fans had skyrocketed online recently. Was Bobby a fan of her?
When it was time to get off work, Hans returned to the Green Villa.
Green Villa was closer to the Grant Group and he had been living here since their marriage.
He entered the room, and it was quiet inside.
The housekeeper went forward to take his coat and he returned to the bedroom.
The smell in the room was different from usual. He frowned slightly and called the housekeeper.
“Have you changed the incense?”
“I haven’t changed it. It’s still Eaglewood,” The housekeeper said respectfully.
In the past, Hans had always had a headache. After using the Eaglewood, he gradually felt better.
This scent made him more focused. He walked up to the incense burner, where curling white smoke rose from the wisp to the mist.
He opened the incense burner and took a look.
The housekeeper explained in a low voice, “The Eaglewood was dealt with by Mrs. Jovano personally. Although the raw materials have not been changed, the smell has indeed been replaced.”
Hellen would personally deal with it?
Hans’ hand paused for a moment. “You can leave now.”
The housekeeper left the room. Hans looked at the still-burning spices and looked up at his wedding room for the first time.
Even when he came back before, he stayed in guest rooms most of the time.
The room had been meticulously cleaned, and there was no trace of Hellen anymore.
He entered the cloakroom on the side and saw several clothes hanging thinly in the exquisite cloakroom.
This was different from Hans’ impression of those socialites and rich young ladies.
He frowned, and there was only a ring and a bracelet in the jewelry storage cabinet.
The ring was the wedding ring, which was carefully placed in the center of the velvet box.
His grandmother had given the bracelet to Hellen.
He looked at the half-open wardrobe next to him, where there were a few dresses commonly worn by Hellen. They were ladylike and plain, without any attacking style.
The rest were two pajamas made of cotton, with a conservative stylet.
The next second, he saw the collar that had been washed white, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Did She lack money after marrying him?
He thought that he was thoughtful and had always been successful in business battles.
But only now did he suddenly realize that his thoughts had never been placed on Hellen.
In the two years they had been married, he met Hellen mostly when he needed her to return to see grandmother.
He had never given his wife a card or money. These white nightdresses and rolling-up sleeves made it hard for him to breathe for a while.
Hellen, why did you?
