Chapter 2682
Helios was grabbing a drink with someone else. When he saw Freyja standing amongst
several directors, he walked toward the group of people. “So, you’re here with Director
Winslow.”
All the directors were momentarily stunned.
‘Helios Boucher actually knows her!?’
Freyja nodded. “It’s nice to see you here, Uncle Helios.”
Donny greeted Helios with a smile, “Mr. Boucher, it’s been such a long time. I really didn’t
expect you and my screenwriter to be acquaintances.”
Helios proposed a toast with Donny. “I haven’t seen you since our last collaboration. I heard
you came to Zlokova to prepare for your new movie. I didn’t expect her to be your
screenwriter.”
“She’s Professor Merlin’s favorite student, and Mr. Lancell introduced her to me. Not to
mention that her script is quite to my liking.
Donny had always been known as the “Godfather of Thrillers” in the industry and always
loved shooting suspense dramas and movies.
And once he started a project, he must ensure that it was shot to perfection-he would never
allow any room for flaws.
Helios smiled and nodded. “This kid is indeed excellent. I’ve heard a lot about her too.”
Just as they were chatting, a female artist who looked somewhat similar to Daisie appeared
in the crowd. She was the rookie who had risen to fame popular in the industry recently.
Roland was the one who brought her here. He could be regarded as one of the largest
capitalists in Zlokovian showbiz and had worked with many directors.
Roxy walked right next to Roland conscientiously, without giving off any intimate interaction
with Roland throughout the whole time, and others were following them around.
She was very clear that many bigshots in the entertainment industry would gather on this
occasion, so she attended this banquet with Roland. Naturally, with Roland’s connections,
she would never have to worry about her future in the entertainment industry.
Freyja saw Roxy at this time and was a little taken aback as millions of thoughts flashed
across her mind.
She only returned to her senses when two female artists started discussing Roxy in a corner
not far away from her. “She seems to be the new artist that Tenet recruited not long ago.”
“Daisie is pregnant and has taken a temporary hiatus from the industry, and her contract
with Tenet is about to expire too. So, by recruiting a newbie who resembles Daisie and
allowing her to make her debut with the title ‘Daisie Jr.’ now, isn’t it obvious that the agency
only plans to make a fortune out of her?”
Artists like them knew their way around the marketing methods and routines that agencies
tended to use.
Freyja frowned.
Soori, Roland arrived at the table where Freyja was, and several directors who were close to
him greeted him. “Mr. Goldwin, why are you the one who’s in charge of bringing a newbie
here?”
Roland chuckled calmly. “Oh, she’s the niece of one of my distant relatives. She has just
stepped into the entertainment industry, so I’ve brought her out here to take a look around
and get to know more people.”
The directors saw through that cheap trick but chose not to say anything about it. Such
household
relationships existed in all corners of the circle, and it was already a common thing to see
from time to time.

Roland looked at Donny and stepped forward with a smile. “You must be Mr. Donny Winslow.
Oh my, I’ve heard so much about you. But I didn’t really expect to meet you here today.”
Donny nodded in response, and his attitude was considered courteous.
Helios swayed the wine glass in his hand. “Mr. Goldwin, your distant relative’s niece looks
somewhat similar to my goddaughter, Daisie. The title ‘Daisie Jr.’ does suit her well, huh?”
Obviously, what he said had some connotations, and everyone present could feel the
embarrassment that Roland and Roxy felt.
In fact, everybody knew what Tenet had done with Roxy. It was just that no one had the guts
to make any comment about the matter.
However, Helios was probably the only one in the industry who would dare to show his
disapproval. After all, the relationship between the Bouchers and the Goldmanns was
impossibly close.
Everyone present thought that Roxy would avoid arousing suspicion and change the
subject, but she was proud of the trait instead. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Boucher.
It’s my honor to get associated with Ms. Vanderbilt.”
Everyone’s expressions looked meaningful. Even Roland could not help but feel anxious
about what she had just said and hurriedly explained on her behalf, “Mr. Boucher, please
don’t mind her. She just doesn’t know what’s the appropriate thing to say.”
Helios drank the wine slowly. “It’s okay. I’m very pleased that my goddaughter has such an
influence in showbiz.”
