Chapter 133 How Much Money Do You Still Need?
After a moment, the sound of pages flipping came from Jackson's side, followed by his casual voice.
"Lillian, if you regret it, move back to the Peace Mansion now and apologize to me. I will pretend that the divorce agreement was never signed. There's no need to call again and say nonsensical things."
Hearing him say this, Lillian felt relieved.
It seemed that it wasn't Jackson's doing. She breathed a sigh of relief and spoke, "I won't regret it. You are overthinking. I will quickly raise five million dollars and not bother you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she hung up directly.
Meanwhile, at the Star Group CEO's office, Jackson threw his phone on the table and loosened his tie.
Lillian said she would raise five million US dollars quickly. Her determination to divorce him was indeed firm.
She had been spoiled by him. Did she think five million dollars was a small amount?
Jackson didn't believe that Lillian could come up with five million in a short time.
He thought to himself, 'Let her struggle. After all, this marriage would not end well.'
Thinking of this, Jackson's expression softened slightly, and he picked up his phone to call Harry.
"What did you find?"
Harry was in an abandoned factory, with Elowen with tears all over her face tied to a chair not far behind him.
"As you expected, Elowen was indeed manipulated by someone. She said a middle-aged man dining at a restaurant told her the address of Lillian's house and mentioned that she often entertained various wealthy guests there. She said those things to Sean because she envied Sean and favored Lillian. However, when I tried to retrieve the restaurant's surveillance footage, it was damaged, and I haven't traced the middle-aged man yet."
"Find that person!" Jackson's eyes gradually turned cold as he ordered in a deep voice.
In the café.
After ending the call, Lillian was about to return to her booth when she saw Nathan walking toward her with a well-dressed woman.
Lillian had seen that woman before. She was Thea, who had given her a business card on the set.
"Thea, this is Light, her real name is Lillian." Nathan and Thea approached Lillian, and Nathan introduced the two.
"I didn't expect you to be Light. It's truly surprising," Thea said with a smile, extending her hand.
Lillian shook hands with her and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Nathan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
Thea explained, "We've met before. Lillian was a dance double on the set, and I intended to sign her as an artist. I didn't expect her to be a popular composer and choreographer, which makes me even more determined not to miss out on representing such a talented person."
With her looks, talent, and skills, Lillian seemed born into the entertainment industry.
Thea was recommended by Nathan, and Lillian had a good impression of her from before.
They chatted happily. As lunchtime approached, the four of them went to a restaurant together.
The cooperation negotiations went smoothly, and after the meal, they signed a contract.
For a price of three million dollars, Lillian signed all her works from the past few years to Thea's management company.
Thea would be responsible for arranging these songs and dances, and Lillian would soon receive the money.
Before leaving, Thea reluctantly tried to persuade Lillian. "Aren't you considering signing as an artist? If you sign, I can negotiate with the company to give you the best treatment and resources, and we can include these in the agreement in advance."
Lillian smiled and shook her head. "It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't have that intention."
Thea still felt regretful and said, "But don't you need money urgently? If you sign as an artist, the company can advance you a fee."
Lillian shook her head again.
Thea left first, and Lillian thanked Nathan before turning to part ways.
Nathan leaned against the car with his arms crossed.
"How much money do you still need? I can lend it to you," he said.
