Chapter 1571
“Alright. Just keep an eye on him. Don’t take any unnecessary risks. Otherwise, the consequences-” Theman in the cap abruptly ended the call before the person on the other line could finish.
He pulled out another cigarette, lit it, and squinted at Keegan’s photo on his phone. The face was blurry,leaving only a faint resemblance.
The person on the other end could not help but curse, “That fucking idiot!” He then dialed anothernumber to report the situation. “Boss, this guy is unpredictable. I’m worried that things might go south.”
“He can’t even remember someone’s face. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause? Just keep aclose eye on him,”
came the dismissive response.
The man hesitated and spoke in a low voice. “Understood.”
Stella did not waste anytime. The next day, she approached Vermont to discuss the possibility of openinga company together.
Vermont was in his office, as he listened to the plan. Stella painted an optimistic picture of their potentialcollaboration. It was a concept that amused him.
“I…” Vermont began to respond but was interrupted by a cough from Keegan.
He immediately bit his lip and thought, ‘Am I being forced into this collaboration? These two areshameless!’
While Vermont was not entirely uninterested in the idea, he admittedly had not paid much attention to hisjewelry store with his diverse business interests. The leftover materials from his store were usually soldoff at a low price. It was indeed a waste.
Moreover, since the incident with Bella, he had not found a suitable spokesperson for the jewelry store. Ifhe collaborated with Stella and managed to convince Leighton to come on board, it would be a majorwin.
The influence Leighton had over the masses was something he greatly valued.
Vermont’s eyes darted around the room, as he smiled and said, “Let’s not rush into this matter, Stella. IfI’m not mistaken,
Leighton has an upcoming concert, right? My nephew really likes him. Could you check if he’s availablethese days? I’d like to invite him for a meal. We can discuss it further at the dinner table.”
Stella’s eyebrows raised slightly. She immediately caught on to Vermont’s intention. The promises shehad made earlier were now being cashed in by Vermont.
Truth be told, Stella was not entirely sure if she could convince Leighton. Despite being her cousin, hewas, after all, a high-tier celebrity. His superstar status made her wonder if he would even agree to therequest.
As Stella pondered howto respond, Keegan interjected the conversation. “There’s no need to discuss thematter further. The new company’s revenue will be split 70-30, with Stella getting the larger share. If youcan accept that, I’ll call Leighton and have him sign the contract.”
Stella was shocked to hear that. She quickly grabbed Keegan’s hand and whispered, “We haven’t evendiscussed this with Leighton yet. How could you make the decision for him?”
Keegan patted her hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure he won’t reject the idea.”
‘That kid would definitely be enthusiastic to do a favor for his cousin, who is his idol.’
And, Keegan had found a top-notch game optimization expert for Leighton. He was not doing all this fornothing.
Vermont’s eyelids twitched when he heard that they were splitting the profit 70-30.
“Isn’t 70-30 a bit disproportionate? Let’s make it 60-40.”novelbin
