"This time, William wasn't here to escape Julian's pursuit. His objective was to convince Sophia to participate in his program, ""Wilderness Life,"" and he needed to come up with a good plan to bring this A-list celebrity on board.
He could approach her directly about business.
Directly approaching her with business matters was out of the question. She might grow tired of him and kick him out of the villa, s! So, he had to be clever about it.
Sophia had a 's life was simple life. She stayed in the villa tTo avoid paparazzi, she could only hide in the villa. If Even when she wanted to buy anythings, Kylie would do it for her.
Taking advantageWilliam took advantage of Kylie's absence for shopping, William and quietly sat down beside Sophia. She was currently engrossed in a TV drama, munching on potato chips, exuding a nerdy image.
Having observed this,When William saw that, he had William's mind seemed to have an idea. "H"Sophia, have you heard of the recent show 'Wilderness Life',?" Sophia?"
""Yes,"" Sophia nodded, but her eyes didn't turn to William. She continued to focus on the screen, watching the drama intently.
""Are you interested in participating in 'Wilderness Life'? Being cooped up at home all the time can be suffocating. You could tThink of it as going outside to relax and have fun,"" William said, tempting her.
""Me, in Join 'Wilderness Life'?"" Sophia seemed slightly interested. She turned her head to look at William, maintaining a bit of distance from him. But soon, she sighed and said, ""My aunt won't allow me to participate in thatis kind of realityvariety show, especially an outdoor one.""
""What if your aunt agrees?"" William sensed that Sophia still held some was interested in ""Wilderness Life."" After all, it must be stifling to staying at home every day was stifling, and venturing into the wilderness was her heart's desire.
""She would never allow me to join such an outdoor realityvariety show! If you couldan convince her, I'd be very interested in participating in this 'Wilderness Life.' After all, staying in this villa for a month is boring and suffocating."" SPophia lazily stretched out while holding a teddy bear, finding a comfortable spot on the sofa, and unabashedly extending her fair, delicate legs in front of William.
The latterWilliam was momentarily stunned, but Sophia quickly realized the situation and sat up again, using the teddy bear to cover her fair legs.
""Go see check if my aunt ’s backhas arrived."" Sophia furrowed her browsfrowned.
There was's an unfamiliar man around her now, which wasis quite troublesome. She can't couldn’t just lie down as she pleaseds anymore.
""Oh."" William quickly stood up and went outside to wait.
Half an hour later, Kylie, wearing a mask and a cap, finally came back with her shopping bag. As soon asWhen she entered the villa, she couldn't help but complain, ""The paparazzi nowadays are such a nuisance. I have no idea how they found out that you're living here. They're everywhere, and it makes making a simple shopping trip feel like I'm stealing something.""
Kylie glanced disdainfully at William While speakingas she spoke, Kylie glanced disdainfully at William. Encountering the paparazzi outside had already put her in a bad mood, and seeing now she sees this poor man at home made , making her even more annoyed.! She really wanted to kick him out.
""Kylie, I have a way to get rid of these annoying paparazzi, Kylie,"" William said as he heard this, finally thinking of a solution. Maybe he could persuade Kylie to let Sophia participate in ""Wilderness Life.""
""You have a way? What could you possibly come up with? Are you planning to use force? That's really laughableWhat a joke!" " Kylie looked down upon William. ‘Poor people with no money or power think they can solve everything with a little brute force.’
""What if I can solve it? I can make them stay away from here for a month,"" William said with a faint smile.
Kylie looked at William with contempt. ""If you can make them disappear for a month, I'll give you one million dollars.""
The reason Kylie mentioned such a large amount was thatbecause she was convinced William couldn't do it. She knew very well how cunning thoese paparazzi were.
They could endure and hide, and they were very patient. They were like stubborn eczema patches. It was impossible to drive them away aAs long as they were squatting there without breaking any laws, it was impossible to drive them away. In her opinion, it was basically impossible to make them completely disappear.
""I don't want money. If I can drive them away and keep them from lurking here for a month, you need to'll let Sophia participate in 'Wilderness Life.'"" William finally revealed his purpose forof coming here.
"You want"Let Sophia to participate in 'Wilderness Life'?"" Kylie was dumbfounded. What was this personhe thinking? He actually wanted Sophia to participate in anthis outdoor realityvariety show.
She couldn't help but look at Sophia, who was watching TV and unaware of what was happening between them.
Although ""Wilderness Life"" was quite popular, consistently ranking in the top three in its time slot, Kylie only wanted Sophia to focus on singing. She had refused all other variety reality shows and had even declined film and television projects.
After thinking for a moment, Kylie gritted her teeth and said, ""And what if you can't make the paparazzi disappear?""
""If I can't do it, then I’ will immediately roll out of this villa, and I won't bother you again, even if it means life or death."" William threw out the perfect bait. Thatis was what Kylie really wanted.
After William threw out this conditionsaid that, he was confident that Kylie would agree. And indeed, things turned out as William had expected.
""Is thatis what you said? I didn't force you, and Sophia heard it too!"" Kylie exclaimed as she called Sophia over loudly, asking her to bear witness. ""Sophia, this is what he said. He'll make the paparazzi disappear for a month. If he can't do it, he will disappear from our villa.""
""Well, can I participate in the 'Wilderness Life' show now?"" Sophia seemed to care about this. She had been cooped up in the villa for too long and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
Kylie hadn't expected Sophia to be so eager to go out, but she could understand her.
""Fine, if he makes the paparazzi disappear, I'll let you participate in 'Wilderness Life'!"" Kylie thought that since this personhe wouldn't be able to do it anyway, she might as well agree to make Sophia happy.!
At the same time, she wanted William to know that she had made a decision, and Sophia had testifiedwas a witness. When Julian was after him the time comes and Julian is chasing them, he wouldn’tn't think of entering this villa again.
Seeing When William saw that Kylie had finally agreed, William he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, ""Since that's the case, I'll go take care of it.""
Saying that, William immediately left the villa and quickly disappeared from their sight.
After leaving the villa, William went straight to the service center. He called Antony and asked the person in charge here to come to the service center to meet see him.
""Yes, Ssir."" Antony immediately agreed to William's request and firmly carried out his instructions.
Soon, William arrived at the service center. HThere, he didn't have to wait long before a tall middle-aged man, with who had an eager expression on his face, came to greeted him., ""Excuse me, are you William Brown?""
""Yes, that's me!"" William nodded. It seemed that this person was the one in charge here.
""Hello, Mr. Brown. My name is Adrien. You can tell me anything you need,"" Adrien respectfully said respectfully.
""How many security guards do you have here in total?"" William didn't beat around the bush and asked what he wanted to know straight away.
""We have about thirty security guards on duty every day, and including the rotating and reserve ones, there are about a hundred security guards in total."" Adrien didn’t dare d not hide anything and answered truthfully answered.
William nodded. This high-end villa area did seem like it indeed needed a hundred security guards, but it was still a bit less than the number William wanted.
""Recruit more additional temporary security guards. I will bear the cost."" William thought for a moment. TWith three hundred security guards, they should be able to clear out the paparazzi lurking here.
""Increase it by threefold.""
""Threefold?"" Adrien was slightly surprised. If they were to add up, thereThat would be a total of three hundred security guards. What could they possibly need so many guards for? But Adrien didn't dare to ask out loudany questions.
"M"Have obilize all the security guards mobilized and clear out the paparazzi and suspicious individuals around the villa,"" William said with a serious expression.
""Alright, Mr. Brown, but how long should this last?"" Adrien couldn't help but ask.
""It will last for a month, 24 hours a day, with continuous duty. During this month, do not let a single paparazzi, reporter, or suspicious person into is allowed to enter the villa area. If you can't do it, then don't expect to remain in charge,"" William said firmly this time.
""Alright, Mr. Brown, I will arrange it immediately."" Adrien wiped the sweat from his forehead and went downstairs with a determined look.
After completing all of this, William smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth and turned around.!"
