On the top floor of Hotel Luna.
Karen Lee, who was sitting on a sofa, smiled and called Willa Logan of Central City.
"Did you say that Chucky invested in your movie?" When Willa told her about that just now, she was not surprised.
"That's right. The filming will start soon," said Willa.
"Well, how much did he invest? Chucky shouldn't have much money left," Karen asked.
"Quite a lot," replied Willa.
"A lot?" Karen smiled. She knew roughly how much Chuck Cannon had. It was possible that he had invested two to three million dollars, but for a literary film, that was okay.
"Well, he gave me all his money. Looking at him, I can see he's full of confidence," Willa said.
"Really?" Karen chuckled. Entering the entertainment industry was also Karen's idea.
"Yes, he's very confident," Willa added.
"Confidence is one thing, but when the movie records a loss, don't put aside some money just for him. That won't do," Karen said seriously.
She knew Willa's character was too gentle. When Chuck went to Central City, she did not expect Willa to dote on him so much. After all, Willa was only ten years older than Chuck. She was like a sister to him.
On the other hand, Willa insisted on calling Karen her sister.
"No, I won't," reassured Willa.
"Really?" Karen said.
"Hmm? Well, I did have this idea, but Sister Karen, if you say so, I won't do it," Willa explained.
Karen was skeptical. Really? She didn't believe it.
"By the way, I saw Chucky's wife Yvette. You must've gone to see her since you've been back for so long, haven't you?" Willa said.
"No," Karen shook her head.
"Why not?" Willa wondered.
After a moment of silence, Karen said, "Yvette's a fine girl. I knew about her since the first day she got with Chucky, and I've been paying close attention to her every move. However, I'm a little suspicious of her identity."
"Her identity? Sister Karen, what do you mean? Wasn't Yvette an orphan?" Willa's voice was full of surprise.
"It seems so on the surface, but who knows if there's anything else? You should know how many enemies I've had throughout all these years. At that time, Chucky's grandpa took Yvette home with good intentions. I meant for her to leave immediately, so I arranged for her to have nothing to worry about as a child. When she grew up, I'd give her some money to let her live on her own. However, as a kid Chucky liked this girl so much he did not let her go. The girl cried and made a fuss about it too. What could I do? I could only agree to let them stay together. Luckily, she's pure and she did nothing bad all these years. But as long as I don't know for sure who her parents were, I'll be restless, so I need to keep an eye on her," Karen elaborated.
"I understand what you mean, Sister Karen. But since you're so suspicious of Yvette, you might as well let her leave," Willa said.
Karen sighed and shook her head. "That's not good either. Chucky liked her from young. If I ask Yvette to leave without saying a word, he'll definitely hate me for it once he knows."
"Will he?" Willa was taken aback.
"I haven't been with Chucky for so many years, so I owe him a lot. I don't want him to hate me because of anything, so..."
Before Karen finished her words, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Karen said. Betty was no stranger, so even if she was on the phone with Willa, Karen would not avoid her.
Betty pushed the door open and came in with a very grim face.
Still sitting on the sofa, Karen saw her expression and asked curiously, "You look so upset. What happened?"
"Young Master went to a village, but he's surrounded by the villagers. They won't let him leave!" Betty said. When she received this call, she was very angry. How could they treat Young Master like this?
Karen's face immediately darkened. Anyone would dread to see her face right now!
She said to Willa on her phone, "Willa, let's talk again next time, I..."
"Well, go deal with Chucky. How dare they not let him leave? Do they want to die?" Willa's angry voice came through the phone.
"Right," Karen said before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Karen stood up from the sofa. "Let's go! How dare they stop my son? Call Squad No. 1!"
"Yes!" Betty took out her phone. "Squad No. 1, step out!"
