"I'm left with no choice. Consider it, Cecilia. I can't afford to upset that investor, nor do I want to antagonize Mr. Evans."

"So, you seized the chance to remove me from the project and assign the role I secured to some rich man's paramour?"

Simon hesitated.

After a while, he finally managed to say, "That's Mr. Kent we're talking about!"

Cecilia requested Chandler Kent's phone number from Simon.

After some contemplation, Simon eventually yielded and provided it.

Cecilia paused and found the name familiar. She promptly dialed Peter's number.

Peter listened to Cecilia's inquiry.

A smile graced Peter's lips as he responded, "Chandler Kent? Yes, I know this guy. He used to receive resources from Mr. Evans, but I had no idea he'd turn into this kind of person after making some money. To think he'd keep a lover and attempt to woo her Like this.

I'll handle it. No need to trouble Mr. Evans; I can teach this guy a lesson. I'll make sure he suffers plenty. He won't even be able to get his mother a role in the play, let alone his lover."

Cecilia smiled.

“I still want Mr. Kent's investment. Furthermore, do this for me. Grant his companion a supporting role. A minor one will do. We should offer the newcomer a fair chance."

Peter acknowledged her directive.

He grinned and assured, "I may not be the most resourceful person usually, but I promise to bring you satisfaction with this matter.

Cecilia, stay tuned for the results."

Cecilia found Peter's chattiness reminiscent of Mark's.

She ended the call.

Simon's jaw dropped.

He inquired eagerly, "Can the forty-million investment be secured?

And is that woman willing to take on a supporting role?"
