125 Four Famous Men in Peace City
Carl smiled, “Of course, you guys talk. I’ll go over there.”
But he shot Isabella a warning glance when he turned around.
“Thank you, Carl.”
Lukas put his hand on Isabella’s shoulder, “Perhaps we can talk in a quiet place over there.”
Isabella got her shoulder away from his hand, “Lukas, if Rosy sees us...”
“Rosy is not here.”
Lukas smiled and whispered, “A project went wrong. As the creative director, she went to solve the problem. Don’t worry.”
“I see.”
Isabella nodded. But she felt even more uncomfortable at Lukas’s words.
.....
So he knew very well that Rosy did not like her to interact with him?
So they didn’t talk too much when Rosy was around. But now they could do whatever they wanted. Was that so?
But it was like ... an affair.
“What’s wrong? Do you feel all right?” Lukas said with concern.
“No.”
Anyway, every second she spent with him was happy. Isabella immediately smiled, “I’m just a little tired. What’s up?”
“You should be. You have classes during the day and a party at night.”
Lukas pulled Isabella to sit down and smiled, “But I have good news for you. Perhaps you’ll be excited after hearing it!”
“What is it?”
“Our company wants to make a youth movie at your school. They were looking for an actress, and I recommended you.”
Isabella opened her eyes wide at once, “You mean, me? Movie? Can I do that?”
Lucas burst into laughter.
He said, “Look at you. You’re so excited. The role is the heroine’s best friend, so any girl with a pretty face and relevant experience is qualified. You played in a drama before. I think you are perfect for this role.”
Isabella said excitedly, “But my major wasn’t acting. Perhaps...”
Isabella’s thin fingers tightly grabbed his sleeves. He gently patted them, “Don’t worry. It’s just a minor character. You’ll just play several times. It doesn’t require good acting skills. But there will be handsome money. I think maybe you’ll like it.”
Isabella was happy, “Thank you, Lukas! I’m so lucky to have you!”
Lukas smiled, “Don’t say that again, or I will get mad.”
“Okay. Then I’ll give you a toast!” Isabella picked up her glass, “Cheers!”
She beamed, looking very beautiful. Lukas raised his glass to touch hers, “Cheers.”
But just as Isabella finished drinking, she felt a piercing gaze towards her from afar. She put down the glass and followed the gaze.
She met Joseph’s cold eyes.
They were cold and piercing.
She coughed.
Isabella was so scared. She smiled dryly at Joseph. Lukas immediately put down his glass and patted her back. “You drank too quickly? Are you choking?”
“I’m fine.”
Isabella smiled at Lucas. She looked at Joseph again, only to find that he suddenly pulled a woman to sit beside him.
The woman seemed to have spilled wine on him. She was wiping it between his legs. It looked like...
He stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, looking like an evil noble playboy who was enjoying service from others.
But that was not the point.
The most important thing was that the woman beside him was Doris.
‘Damn it! Why her?’
‘Are you blind?’
Isabella didn’t like Joseph. But she felt depressed when she saw that he was with Doris.
‘Perhaps it’s because Doris offended me just now. So I think Joseph is depreciating himself.’
Isabella thought to herself.
“Oh, you’re also looking at that...”
Lukas followed Isabella’s gaze, smiling, “Mr. Zachary, one of the four famous men in Peace City.”
“What?” “Four famous men in Peace City?” Isabella came to her senses.
“Joseph, Cedric, Jayden, Zachary.”
Lukas shook his glass and continued, “They all enjoy powerful families, who have connections in business, politics, finance and economics, and entertainment. Most parts of this city are under their control. It’s said that they are also famous abroad.”
“The four families intertwined in many aspects, and the four men are in similar ages. Besides, they often stay together. So they are called four famous men in Peace City. Haven’t you heard of it? But usually, girls pay little attention to this, right?”
“I know Zachary. It’s said that he frequently changes his girlfriend.” Isabella said, “I also heard Jayden’s name before. But I don’t know him.”
“Okay.”
Lukas nodded. “Zachary is the only son of an entertainment tycoon. He is often reported to have scandals with female stars, so many people know him. Jayden is from a bank family, which had cooperated with my family. But he only looks nice. Actually he is very foxy and cunning. He acts like Zachary.”
“So Joseph is one of the four famous men.” Isabella was thoughtful.
Lucas laughed.
He added, “He is the most famous one because he is the richest. The Wilsons interferes with everything profitable.”
“Oh.” Isabella scratched her head and asked curiously, “How rich is the richest?”
“How rich?”
Lukas laughed loudly, “Good question! Joseph doesn’t rank top in the Global Fortune List. But it was evaluated through his status as the president of the Global Group. He is not even 30 years old yet. But he is the successor of the Wilsons. If they take his status and the wealth of the consortium under his name into account, his wealth is immeasurable. He can be considered as a rich, respectable, and young noble man. But... ”
“But what?”
“It was said that the Wilsons had strict family rules. Charlie hated people to address his grandson like that. Gradually, no one dared to mention him as one of the four famous men in Peace City. So many people don’t even know that he is one of them.
Isabella recalled Charlie’s seriousness and nodded in agreement, “That’s true. But how about the other one? I haven’t even heard of that name before.”
“You mean Cedric?”
Lukas nodded, “Cedric has often been abroad. His family has a business in medicine and design. But that’s not the reason why you haven’t heard of him. It’s because he is well protected.”
“Protected? What does that mean?”
