From an age perspective, Izabella was a young and beautiful self-made woman who had launched a company worth an astonishing 8 billion dollars in such a short time.
The Maple Group had made headlines when they acquired X Entertainment and later invested in movies, making a pure profit of 40 billion and successfully entering the upper business world.
Even the chairman of the Dempsey Group couldn't achieve this feat in his prime, let alone Casey. Though he was the heir to the Dempsey Group, he was currently just an actor.
At this moment, those who had previously belittled Izabella fell silent.
In comparison, it wasn't that Izabella wasn't good enough for Casey, but rather, Casey wasn't good enough for her.
With his resources, Casey might do better off as a stay-at-home husband if he didn't inherit his family business!
It was said that the latest investment by the Maple Group, the movie “Interstellar,” had specially invited the renowned Director Louis, successfully breaking into the international film market.
This spectacle was handed directly to Casey. Thus, if anyone was being "kept," it was Mr. Dempsey.
Those who had mocked Izabella before now sang a different tune. Life had never been as satisfying as it was at this moment, indeed, following Izabella was a delight.
"1.5 billion?" Izabella was stunned when she heard this figure; she had only donated 70 million, so where did 1.5 billion come from?
She looked at Casey, and sure enough, there was a smug smile on his face.
"You added 800 million on top of my donation?"
"You're my fiancée. What's mine is yours, so I added it to the list."
This spectacle was already grand with a donation of 70 million, but Casey had added another 800 million, making her the center of attention at the climax of the event.
Aren't you afraid of being slandered as my kept man, Izabella asked with a smirk.
"Why would I be afraid if you're not? Besides, you're technically keeping me." He was certain that once "Interstellar" was released, it would cause a sensation in the film industry.
So, being kept by Izabella wasn't something he found embarrassing. In fact, he was proud of it.
If human beings had tails, Casey's would probably be wagging with joy.
Casey was always silently considering her needs in the background. He wouldn't say much because he had already taken action before she noticed.
After the donation list was announced, the host took the stage to announce the end of the dinner.
Beck took the stage, and Izabella watched from below. Perhaps it was the stage lights, but Beck's face seemed pale, as if he was not feeling well.
As Beck was about to speak, a man whispered something in his ear.
Izabella recognized the man as Beck's assistant. If it weren't for an urgent matter, he wouldn't have approached Beck in such a situation.
So what was it all about?
Casey's expression also turned grave. Izabella stood up and felt a menacing gaze. She turned her head and saw Brett in the corner.
Beck's face changed drastically after hearing his assistant's words. He lost control and fell backward.
