Chapter 727: To Give or Not to Give
Fatty’s face changed completely when her eyes glanced at the cards Melody placed on the table, yet she had the smallest cards in her hand, not even close to winning."Fatty, we’ve already played, it’s your turn," Nina was initially worried that Melody Thorne might lose, but seeing the change in Fatty’s expression when she laid down her cards, her concerns were eased.
Fatty, accustomed to mixing in the bar scene, quickly regained her composure and handed her cards to a subordinate behind her. When the subordinate placed the cards on the table, they had already turned into the highest point cards.
"You lost," Fatty said, lighting a lady’s cigarette.
"Your subordinate clearly switched the cards just now," Nina snorted, pointing to a corner of the room, "There’s surveillance there, we can check it. Your cards couldn’t possibly beat ours."
"Damn it, you guys really don’t understand the rules, do you?" Fatty tossed her cup out casually, "Don’t respect the rules, now get out immediately, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
"How are you going to be rude?" A voice came from the doorway, indifferent and deep, yet chillingly captivating.
"Mr... Mr. Quinn?"
Jared Quinn entered without shifting his gaze, sliding one arm over Melody’s shoulder, "Didn’t even say a word before running off?"
Melody Thorne leaned towards him casually and said, "I didn’t mean to. Just saw this gentleman staying here bored, and kindly kept him company for a while. When I won, he turned hostile!"
"Who... are you calling a gentleman?" Fatty’s face turned green with anger.
"Are you giving it or not?" Melody extended a hand and handed her a business card, "I want to see the three companies transferred under my name within three days, or I’ll pay a visit myself, and it won’t be as simple then!"
Fatty stared at her without speaking; indeed, she owned several companies, but parting with three was akin to cutting off her flesh.
"You can leave now," Melody said, looking at Howie, "Working for my company, I won’t allow anyone to use its name to cause trouble, but I also won’t let our artists get bullied. You can bring out the company’s name when necessary."
Howie glared at Fatty and turned to leave.
At the bar entrance, Nina stopped Howie, "If you encounter such situations again, bring out the company, but never act impulsively. A man should have spirit but not use it in haste. You should know that not only will the other party not gain advantage, but you’ll also pay the price."
Nina, having been through it, could see right away what Howie intended to do.
Howie gradually calmed down, having lost all rationality, "I won’t."
Nina looked at him with satisfaction, "Keep it up. Today, our CEO Melody Thorne offended people for you. Work hard and focus on filming. Call me if such things happen again."
Howie glanced back at the bar. Since he started acting in a movie, Melody Thorne had been helping him a lot and had saved him more than once or twice, "Okay."
"Causing trouble in such a short time? Quite capable, huh?" Jared Quinn led her down the bar corridor, squeezing her small hand, "Don’t go personally next time something like this happens, or what are the bodyguards for?"
