Chapter 415: Chapter 414: A Dirty Soul, You Are the Only One
Hehe.
A beautiful appearance is all the same, but you have a unique filthy soul.
After Joy Clayton came down, she greeted the family and friends present with politeness and warmth.
Then Joy Clayton noticed South Grant standing together with Henry Grant over here, and she smiled as she walked over, looking very friendly.
"Is this South? I haven’t seen you for so many years, I almost didn’t recognize you."
Now, with so many people watching Joy Clayton, South Grant naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront her.
"Grandma, it’s me, South. We haven’t seen each other for years, and you’ve become even younger. If someone didn’t know, they might think you’re my aunt." South Grant also complimented Joy Clayton.
Joy Clayton warmly held South Grant’s hand and spoke to her. At this moment, Jared Grant also came over, and in front of everyone, Joy Clayton curiously asked South Grant:
"South, I heard from your second uncle that you’ve recently acted in a film that your third uncle invested in. Is this true?"
Before South Grant came here, she wondered what awaited her at this banquet. When Joy Clayton said this, South Grant understood.
They wanted to use this film to draw out the recent villa incident, to throw this dirty water on her.
"Yes, I know my third uncle invested in it, and I happened to be interested in this role, so I thought I’d give it a try."
The funding for this film was secured by South Grant; she temporarily pawned her shares to Chester Lynch, who then transferred the funds to her account.
However, outwardly, they had to say it was Shawn Grant’s investment, to deflect the hostility from Miles Grant and his son.
At this moment, Shawn Grant was absent. It was unclear whether he hadn’t arrived yet or had gone somewhere else.
Joy Clayton, with a bright smile, held South Grant’s hand and said:
"South, you’re really impressive. This year, both your second and third uncles invested in films. I heard they are both military-themed. Grandma hopes both films will be huge successes."
Jared Grant then came over, and after hearing this, he snorted coldly.
"That third child is being ridiculous. How big is Aetherium anyway? Where does the company find so much money to make movies? The funds must come from improper sources, and the film’s theme is the same as the second child’s, so it’ll certainly lose everything. By then, even the little money in his hands won’t be enough to cover the losses!"
In Jared Grant’s eyes, the third son, Shawn Grant, was nothing but an incompetent failure.
Just as Jared Grant was saying this, Shawn Grant came in and heard it. He walked over to Jared Grant and Joy Clayton with a dark face, clearly displeased, and said:
"Why is it that when my second brother invests, it’s a profitable project, but when I invest, it has to lose money!"
Seeing Shawn Grant retorting after he arrived, Jared Grant grew even angrier.
"You still have the nerve to speak! Do you think I don’t know what mess is outside now? Everyone is saying you hold no regard for familial bonds, fighting each other and undermining your second brother. I haven’t been involved with the company’s matters these past two years; are you all trying to drive me to my grave?"
Shawn Grant was displeased upon hearing Jared Grant’s words. With his quick temper, he didn’t care about the presence of family and friends; he directly revealed everything from the past.
"Dad, why don’t you say this to my second brother? Some time ago, he had someone under the surname Yin sabotage my employees, and in the end, he pushed the blame onto a manager. Why didn’t anyone say back then that my second brother held no regard for familial ties? Now, all I’m doing is investing in a film with the same theme, and everyone is pointing fingers. They say the palm and back of the hand are both flesh, but I really don’t feel like I’m the biological one!"
ps: And more.
