Chapter 102 Let You Be Happy For A While
William quickly returned to the company with the contract, and his assistant Susan anxiously knocked on the door.
"The director is reminding us. When are we going to the filming location?" Susan couldn't help but ask.
"Postpone it for one day. I have something important to attend to today. By the way, this is Sophia's contract. Arrange for it and send the latest script of 'Wilderness Life' to her email." William pushed the contract in front of Susan.
Her mouth fell open, expressing astonishment.
"It's the A-list singer Sophia? Boss, you actually signed her!" Susan couldn't believe it. Sophia only sang and didn't take acting roles, let alone variety shows. She never expected William to successfully sign Sophia. If this was publicized, the latest season of "Wilderness Life" would surely become a hot topic.
Susan picked up the contract again and flipped through it, amazed.
Sure enough, there was Sophia's signature on top, which surprised and delighted her, and also made her admire William even more. After handing the contract to Susan, William quickly left the company. He was going to meet someone, the person mentioned in the text message Antony sent him last night.
But before the appointment, William decided to make a detour to Crown Villa and bring Sharon along, just in case. After all, the person he was about to meet was a thug in the West district, and he had quite a few henchmen.
In case the other party looked down on him because of Antony's support, having Sharon with him would give him some self-protection.
Begonia Bar in the West district was empty during the day, so there were hardly any customers here. William and Sharon quickly arrived in a car. As they entered, a waiter approached, apologizing, "Sir, we're not open now. You can come back in the evening to have a good time."
"I'm here to see Louis White. Let him know Mr. Brown is looking for him," William said indifferently.
"Alright, please wait!" The waiter glanced at William and Sharon with a puzzled expression but obediently went to find their supervisor.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the bar. When he saw William, he eagerly and nervously approached, "Mr. Brown, you're here. I'm Louis White, but everyone calls me Lo. Boss Jones has informed me, and I'll follow your arrangements."
"Okay," William said casually after finding a seat in the lobby where there weren't many people. He asked him, "Did Julian come to you?"
Antony had been monitoring Julian, and last night, a spy saw Julian looking for Louis in the West district. The spy immediately informed Antony, who then sent a text message to William, explicitly warning Louis. That was why William came to see Louis.
"Yes, he came to see me yesterday." Louis didn't dare to hide anything and even answered nervously. Although William didn't look ordinary, he had Antony supporting him. Antony had even warned Louis that if he dared to disrespect Mr. Brown, he would not be spared.
"What did he want from you?" Since William had arranged spies to monitor Julian, he naturally wanted to know Julian's next plan.
"He offered me a large sum of money to frame you," Louis said, glancing anxiously at William. If he angered Mr. Brown, he would be in trouble.
William smiled. Julian really wanted revenge on him! Unfortunately, in New York, it was absolutely impossible for Julian, who came from Canada, to use money to solve the issue.
"What does he want you to do to frame me?" William asked with interest, not afraid or fearful.
"It seems like he has acquired some shares of CY Entertainment. He has chosen the same recording location as yours and intends to get rid of you in the wild. He also wants to sabotage your show," Louis replied nervously. He discreetly wiped the sweat off his forehead, worried that William's anger would be directed toward him.
"This person really wants to kill me." William's gaze turned slightly cold.
He was not surprised that Julian could find out his identity. After all, money could buy such things. Fortunately, his true identity was deeply hidden and not something that could be easily discovered with money.
The location they were going to record this time was a virgin forest ten kilometers outside of New York. It was truly a remote and desolate area, rarely visited by people. As the producer, William definitely had to go. Julian accurately guessed that William would be there and planned to find someone to harm him in the wilderness.
This was safer compared to causing trouble in the city. After all, there were not as many surveillance cameras outside, and accidents could be staged without being noticed.
"Now that I'm here, do you want to harm me?" William asked tentatively. Even if Louis really dared to lay a finger on William now, he wasn't afraid. After all, he had Sharon with him, who could handle herself well in a fight.
"How could I be so disrespectful to you?" Louis was taken aback. He didn't dare to harm William for real. If Antony found out, he would probably be killed on the spot tomorrow.
And the woman behind William, just by looking at her, it was obvious that she had martial arts training. If she really made a move, Louis knew he wouldn't stand a chance against her.
Although Julian was from the Walsh family in Canada, both the legitimate and underground worlds in New York respected Antony. Louis didn't dare to offend him.
"Since you don't dare, then listen to me." William was satisfied with his attitude.
"Mr. Brown, feel free to give your orders," Louis replied.
"Pretend to agree with him. Bring more people with you and let him be happy for a while. We'll act accordingly later. After it's done, I can give you three million dollars so you won't have made this trip for nothing," William said with a slight smile.
This time, Julian's assets under his name were more than the combined wealth of those two rich brats from before. William had to make a good profit from him.
"I don't dare seek wealth. I only hope you can speak a few good words for me in front of Boss Jones," Louis cleverly said. If he could gain Boss Jones's favor, money would never be an issue.
"Alright, then I'll definitely praise you in front of Antony and ask him to give you more shops in the West district." William immediately understood what Louis wanted.
"Well, thank you, sir," Louis responded with a smile this time.
What they wanted in this business was territory. The more territory they had, the more profit they would make. That was something Julian from Canada couldn't provide for him.
After dealing with Louis, William returned to the company to prepare for tomorrow's recording of the program in the virgin forest.
On the other hand, Julian, who lived in the luxurious presidential suite, was embracing two beautiful women. However, his handsome face still had some bruises and swelling from the beating he received from William. Although he had medicated it, it would probably take several days for the swelling to completely subside.
"William dares to hit me. I will definitely ruin him!" Julian's face was filled with malevolence and resentment. From childhood until now, he had never been beaten like this before, and he had to strike back to regain his honor.
Soon, his phone rang, and Julian instinctively answered it.
"Julian, I have already ordered my subordinates. I'm waiting for your instructions." Louis's voice came through on the other end of the phone.
"Very well, tomorrow, you all dress in CY Entertainment's clothes and pretend to be their employees. Come with me to the forest, and find an opportunity to kill William." Julian's mood improved significantly upon hearing this good news.
"Understood, Julian. I'll go now to prepare!" Louis responded from the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Julian's face was filled with a sense of triumph. "William, you dare to hit me? Watch how I ruin you."
