Chapter 5 Ulterior Motives
In the afternoon, Suzy found a real estate agent to oversee the house. In the end, she rented a brand-new villa that had not yet been rented in Blue-Bay and paid a rental fee of five million dollars. There were only 45 million dollars left for her. Sitting on the sofa, Suzy could not help but feel she had spent her money quickly.
After a rest, Suzy was about to go out for a meal and buy some daily necessities. As soon as she opened the door and went out, the door of the next villa was opened, and a man in a black suit came out.
At that moment, the sky had darkened. Under the illumination of the street lamps, Suzy felt that figure to be somewhat familiar.
When this man walked into the black Rolls-Royce, Suzy saw his profile.
Evan Hughes? What a coincidence! Did he live next door?
Suzy greeted him with a smile, “Hi, Mr. Hughes! Are you living here?”
Evan’s hand froze in the middle of opening the car door. He turned around and frowned at Suzy standing in front of him.
“I just moved here today. I didn’t expect you to live next door. We will be neighbors from now on.”
Suzy put on a smile on her face. After all, Evan was the debtor and the big boss of Somo City, so she had to get along well with him.
Evan’s eyes were as dark as a deep pool. He pursed his lips and spoke in a cold voice.
“A coincidence?”
Suzy nodded. Before she could even react, Evan had already pressed her down on the car, and his hands were already strangling her neck.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“You deliberately approached me and moved to my room next door. Suzy, what is your motive?”
Suzy swallowed her saliva. She felt that it was hard to breathe. So she could only endure it and said, “Trust me, I didn’t mean to meet you.”
“Did the Carters family send you here?” asked Evan.
“No… I’ve cut ties with the Carters family. If you don’t believe me, I can move out.”
After a while, Evan slowly let go of Suzy and said coldly, “Suzy, you’d better not have any other intentions.”
After that, he got in the car and left.
Watching the car leave, Suzy let out a long sigh.
She lowered her gaze and was not surprised by Evan’s words and behavior.
In Suzy’s past life, it was because of this man, Evan Hughes, that the Carter family had fallen short of funds and was on the verge of bankruptcy before they sold him abroad.
Evan seemed to have a blood feud with the Carters family.
As for the outcome, it was unknown who had won and who had lost.
She walked slowly to the villa, had a meal, bought something, and then returned.
The next morning, Evan received a call from his assistant when he woke up.
“Mr. Hughes, I’ve checked. What happened that night was indeed a coincidence. Teresa drugged Suzy and wanted to sell her to sleep with Mr. Levis. After Suzy knocked Mr. Levis out, she met you in the hotel corridor.”
“It’s because of this that Suzy cut off the relationship with the Carters family. It’s a coincidence that she bought your next door with her villa. In addition, Suzy spent 50 million dollars buying Starlight Pictures.”
Evan paused when he heard that.
Did he worry too much?
He lowered his eyes. That woman, Suzy Carters, was still rather clear-headed.
“I see.”
Three days later, Suzy and Mr. York signed all the handover contracts and became the new boss of Starlight Pictures.
Now, only 30 staff members were left on the Starlight Pictures team. Suzy called for eight artists in the group for a meeting.
“There are still two years left in the contract between you and Starlight Pictures. If you want to leave now, then just go. You don’t have to pay the penalty.”
Hearing this, the artists looked at each other in dismay. Ultimately, the two of them stood up and planned to leave.
The three actors that Suzy fancied did not leave. Among the three, there were two female stars and one male star. They were all rookies in the entertainment circle. In Suzy’s previous life, their career rose high in the entertainment circle in the end. These three potential actors were also why Suzy had meant to purchase Starlight Pictures.
Suzy smiled, left a few simple instructions, and left the company.
