Chapter 9 Investment Withdrawal

  • Bruce might be shocked, but it didn’t show on his face. He looked at them and inquired, “Who are they?”
  • Jordan was staring at him, too.
  • How is this man related to the woman?
  • He seems nice enough, but the kids don’t resemble him.
  • Kaitlyn finally regained her composure and stepped forward to introduce them.
  • “Bruce, they are my customers. They are here to buy flowers.”
  • She turned to look at Jordan gratefully. “Sir, thank you for today. I’ll deliver your flowers to the hotel later.”
  • Jordan nodded. “Thank you!”
  • With that, he turned to leave. He had barely taken a few steps when he suddenly thought of something. Turning around, he reached into his pocket and took something out. He spread his palm out and revealed Kaitlyn’s missing ring lying in his palm.
  • “Ms. Stone, keep your ring well. Don’t lose it again!”
  • Kaitlyn was dumbfounded upon seeing her ring in Jordan’s hand. She took it from him and thanked him profusely. “Thank you, Mr. Hartman. I didn’t know you’d bring it here for me. I appreciate it.”
  • Nonetheless, Jordan remained expressionless as he grunted in reply before leaving.
  • Bruce had witnessed the entire exchange. After Jordan had left, he came over to Kaitlyn and asked, “Kaitlyn, what is your relationship with that man? Why is your ring with him?”
  • It was apparent that Bruce had misunderstood, so Kaitlyn explained instantly.
  • “Bruce, you’ve got it wrong. Last night, I left the ring accidentally in his room when I was delivering his order. I don’t know who he is. In fact, I don’t even know his name!”
  • Bruce was visibly relieved to hear her answer.
  • “Good. Stay away from that man. He’s not a good person.”
  • Can someone be rich and a saint at the same time? Kaitlyn thought wryly.
  • “I know,” she assured him.
  • After Jordan entered his car, he asked Darren at once. “Who was that?”
  • Darren reported, “That was Bruce Jameson. He graduated from an Ivy League university. Rumor has it that he controls several overseas investments totaling billions. For the past five years, every investment of his was a success. He had invested in dozens of listed companies and countless startups. The company’s name is Jameson Investment, which has made quite a name in the country.”
  • “Oh?”
  • Jordan was surprised at his assistant’s explanation.
  • He didn’t expect Bruce would be this capable.
  • But how did Kaitlyn get to know someone like Bruce? he mused.
  • That very night, the set of ‘The Love of My Life’ became utter chaos when Winter showed up.
  • The props were strewn everywhere as everyone milled around with their hands full. There were even people taking apart the installed set.
  • Winter blurted out sharply, “What happened?”
  • Previously, Winter had offended most of the staff, so no one bothered to reply to her question.
  • But when Winter realized that everyone was ignoring her presence, her face immediately twisted in anger.
  • Her assistant, Lexie, managed to ask around and brought back the news to her nervously. “This is bad! Winter, I heard the investor of this TV series had just withdrawn the investment! The project has been canceled!”
  • “What?” Winter’s expression changed abruptly.
  • “Geoffrey, you son of a b****!”
