Chapter 122 The Meticulous Transaction
Chapter 122 The Meticulous Transaction
Her marriage ultimately is nothing more than a meticulous business transaction.
Standing in the elevator, she is thinking about all the things she knows about Luke.
Originally she thought that she could slowly get along with this man and they would develop affection
for each other after being together for a long time and form a happy family, but now it seems this was
just wishful thinking.
Perhaps what Michael said is right.
Luke is an indifferent and cold person who has no sentiment towards anything. There are only a few
people and things that he will have affection for, however I am not one of these things.
If grandma liked another woman, I fear he would have already given up on himself long ago.
Returning to the gym, Cecelia sees her looking unusual and spaced out, so at once she is full of
curiosity, holds Jenny’s hand and says, “What did Mr. Lu say to you? Why did it take you so long to
come back?”
Jenny looks up, stares at Cecelia for a short moment while resisting the urge to smile, and passes the Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
individual studio application form to her.
“What is this?” Cecelia opens the document, and looks at Jenny in disbelief, “This isn’t…”
However Jenny feigns an appearance of as if she doesn’t hear anything, and directly gets on the
running machine, sets a journey of 10,000 meters, and then puts on her earphones so all the sounds of
the outside world are cut off.
She needs to empty her head and take a break from everything.
Cecelia however does not notice her mood swings; she just feels she is extremely happy, so excitedly
takes the application form and gives Shawn a call.
At this moment, Shawn is walking down the corridor of the city hospital holding a thick envelope; her
whole body is in black, wearing black trainers, black trousers, a black down jacket and long jet black
hair which is tied into a ponytail, giving her both an intimidating and professional appearance.
“Is Michal there?” She knocks on the door a few times unceremoniously, and then sees the assistant
on the drawing room sofa using his mobile phone.
Michael’s assistant stares blankly, and after seeing who the visitor is gives a scornful smile, he even
ignores the common courtesy of standing up for a guest, and sluggishly returns her gaze and then
says, “Shawn, what’s the matter? We don’t really seem to welcome you here.”
“I have come here to see Michael.”
“Michael is not feeling well, so has gone to rest for a while, and regarding the matter about Elizabeth
there is nothing to discuss, so please leave.”
“If there is anything to discuss or not, what right do you have to talk to me in this way, you’re just a
henchman…”
Shawn shoots him a cold glance, and walks straight in the direction of the bedroom.
“What did you just say? You crazy…”
The assistant springs up from the sofa, but Shawn has already opened the bedroom door, alarming
Michael who is inside the room reading a book.
“What’s going on? Who let you come in?”
Michael frowns and coldly sizes her up.
The assistant quickly reaches the door, his face in alarm, “Sir, I made her leave.”
Not waiting for him to finish speaking, Shawn turns around and looks at him, then the door locks with a
sound, and no matter how much the assistant outside knocks on the door it was of no use.
“I warn you, if you dare lay one finger on Michael, I will sue you until you go bankrupt.”
Shawn shoots a cold glance at the shaking door, and then turns her body towards Michael who is still
calmly sitting on the bed.
“You should know why I came.”
Michael closes the book and looks directly at Shawn for the first time.
“You should also know why I refuse to cooperate with Elizabeth.”
“Because of Jenny?’
“Don’t be silly,” Michael sneers, “Since this being the case, and you’ve come to find me now, is it
because you have already made a deal with her? Did she agree to apologize to me in front of the
media and agree to my request?"
“No.”
Shawn clenches the envelope in her hand, pursing her lips with a serious expression.
“Then you must leave, I have nothing more to say to you.” Michael picks up the book at hand again and
turns to the page he hadn't finished reading just now.
A stiff atmosphere spreads among the air.
Shawn’s brow furrows deeper and deeper, she opens the envelope in her hand and takes out a thick
stack of banknotes from it, all of which are green, and the words ten yuan can be seen between her
fingers.
Then a second later, a rain of green banknotes fall from the sky, splashing all over the room, and along
with the sound of her fury, it seems like a war is on the verge of breaking out.
“Michael, with your professional standards and broad mindedness, you are able to have a good
reputation in the industry. There really is no one else in the entertainment circle! This is your medical
expenses. I will pay for them, so from now on we will not owe each other anymore."
Michael is in shock. He looks at the rain of banknotes in the air, and then looks at the green banknotes
falling from his shoulders onto both his quilt and on the book, his whole body is stiff.
“You…”
Shawn who is still burning with rage, coldly censures him, the expression in her eyes is as if she is
looking at a heinous pervert.
“I don’t care what the purpose is and from where your grudge against Jenny came from, I will tell you
now, if you want to use the artists of mine to embarrass other people then there is no way, and the
matters regarding Elizabeth I will not beg you about anymore, you should have put this matter to rest
long ago, you moron.”
The sound of the door closing makes the whole room tremble.
The assistant stumbles into the room, looks at the green banknotes all over the floor, while the corners
of his mouth tremble uncontrollably.
“Michael…”
Michael is sitting on the bed with a petrified and motionless appearance, looking at the empty doorway,
as if his soul had been taken away from the person who had just left.
The assistant says frightened, “Michael, don’t scare me, I will report this to the police, and make the
police take away this crazy woman…”
The assistant is making the phone call, while Michael grabs his phone and frowns, “I did not notice the
room became so messy, first find someone to clean up the room, and then help me sort out the
necessary requirements in order to be discharged from the hospital.”
The assistant nods his head, and is about to leave the room to find someone to clean it, when suddenly
he reacts to what Michael has just said, is stunned and says, “Leave the hospital? Michael, you want to
leave the hospital?”
Michael looks at his assistant as if he’s an idiot and impatiently says, “Do you not understand English?
Help me get discharged from the hospital.”
“The matter relating to Shawn… you want to report her to the police?”
As soon as the assistant’s voice falls, a flying book smashes him on the head, leaving him standing
there both confused and covering his head, “Michael…”
“Report what exactly? Go and check for me Shawn’s background information, and all the artist’s that
she looks after.”
“Why?”
“If I ask you to do something then you go do it, why are you still going on?”
“Yes, yes, ok…”
The assistant hurriedly leaves the room while holding in his arms the book that had just hit him.
Michael really did just collapse into a rage of anger by that crazy woman, after he is discharged from
the hospital this time, he will investigate the people in her hands, and then could it be possible to get
revenge on them one by one?
After the assistant leaves, Michael gets off the bed, crouches down on the floor, picks up from the
ground two of the green bank notes, and thinks back to the scene just now; suddenly the corners of his
mouth rise upwards and reveals a very meaningful look.
This agent Shawn really is very interesting; she dares to say he has no professionalism and absolutely
no ability to judge people? She also dares to shed all pretence of cordiality with him for a small artist;
she really is very bold.
He wishes to see, is it that she just possesses great courage or does she actually have the capability
and skill to do what she intends to do.
