Chapter 136 On the way home, Aurelia couldn't help but mull over Evan. She had to use her connection with the big boss to prevent a bad scenario.
As she entered the apartment, she immediately spotted the handsome figure.
Leopold was sitting on the couch, going over his subordinates* reports.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe first went to her room to change, then sat next to him, “My brother's back. We had dinner together.” “I know.” He responded indifferently. Laura had already informed him.
Aurelia got two glasses of milk, handing one to him.
“It's comforting to see how much Serenity Films values Avery. Did you know? The day after he returned to Elysium, he went for an audition that his classmate Evan had recommended. Initially, Avery was grateful, but he soon realized Evan had ulterior motives. He wasn’t trying to help him, but to make a mockery of him. He shamed Avery in front of everyone, ridiculing his lack of acting skills and even calling him weak. Isn't someone like that just detestable?” Leopold took a sip of his milk, coldly replying, “Why bother with such a small-minded person?” “You also think he’s small-minded, huh.” Aurelia blinked, a sly twinkle flashing in her eyes, “I only found out tonight that this small-minded person is signed with Luminous Vision Media. His agent is even Luminous Vision Media's ace agent, Louisa.
Heard he’s a rich kid, his family must have spent a fortune, huh?” Leopold stiffened slightly. He rarely meddled with the affairs of Luminous Vision Media, leaving it to his deputies to manage.
“Showbiz is full of intrigue, if Avery wants to make it, he needs to be prepared.” Aurelia pouted, was he trying to protect his staff? “After the audition, Avery was not only disheartened but also felt hopeless. Fortunately, Arno introduced him to Nydia, giving him a glimmer of hope and the strength to pick himself up. If not for him, Avery might have sunk into depression, unable to recover.
He's really grateful to Arno, treating him like a brother.” She sighed softly, “This weekend, Avery will be recording a variety show with Evan. It's like their paths are destined to cross. But with Arno looking out for him, | shouldn’t worry too much, right?” A flash of annoyance crossed Leopold's face, causing him to furrow his brows.
Her words made him unpleasant! Thinking about Avery's prickly attitude made him even more annoyed.
Avery probably didn't see Arnold as a friend, but as a brother-in-law, right? “Avery's an adult now, he should learn to handle his issues, instead of having others worry over him.” Aurelia internally scoffed, he meant not protecting Avery? What a cold-hearted man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“And isn't Evan just relying on his parents’ money to get where he is? You once said, knowing how to use connections is a skill.
So why when it comes to Avery, he has to handle his own issues? Isn't this double standard?” Leopold's mouth twitched, choked by this woman's sharp tongue, it was rather annoyed.
“Letting him gain experience in society, increasing his psychological endurance, can only be beneficial. If he really encounters an issue he can't resolve, I'll naturally help him.” Aurelia took a sip of her milk, her tone suddenly calm.
“No need, | was just chit-chatting because | had nothing better to do. If Avery really runs into trouble, Arno will surely help him out. I, as his sister, don’t even need to worry, let alone you, his brother-in-law in name? When it comes down to it, my good friend Arno is the most reliable.” A spark of fire flashed in Leopold's eyes, and he abruptly leaned over, cornering her to the edge of the couch. The intense sense of oppression was like a sudden storm.
“I told you, if you have any problems, come to me directly. Don’t go to Arnold. | will keep my promise to you, and you better remember that.” His expression was icy, his tone domineering.
=< Aurelia shrank back, scared by his overpowering aura, “I... | got it, | remember every word.”
