Chapter 1242
“Ivan’s greatest dream is to develop and promote the Twelve Routines Springing Leg. His original intent about martial arts has never altered.”
Ethan respected men like him.
So Ethan didn’t kill Ivan when he was initially hoodwinked and even wanted to kill Ethan. Or else, Ivan probably wouldn’t have the chance to set up his martial arts academy now given his past temper.
But Shawn…
That old geezer was even more stubborn.
“I wonder how Victoria is doing now?”
If he wanted to do Shawn any favors, he could treat Victoria well instead. Treating Victoria well was equivalent to giving Shawn perks.
All fathers worried about their children.
Ethan headed over to Diane’s office. Diane had just finished work and was replying to text messages on her phone.
“Is the premiere happening soon? I almost forgot. I must attend the premiere!” said Diane. When she turned to see Ethan walking in, she smiled and said, “I was just talking about you.”
“About what?”
Judging from Diane’s expression and the good mood she was in, she probably had some good news.
“Victoria’s new movie is about to be screened.”
Diane flipped her schedule and continued, “I made time for it in advance, so I can definitely make it. Can you spare the time?”
Ethan was contemplating what kind of comfort he could offer Shawn and that he should do something nice to his daughter.
Something suddenly dawned on Ethan about what he should do for Shawn when he heard about Victoria’s new movie’s premiere.
Starling City Interstellar Entertainment Company was set up solely to make Victoria a star. Ethan never cared about the money when it came to funding the company.
Ethan did all this to help Victoria fulfill her dreams. Although Shawn said nothing of it, he appreciated it in his heart. It was clearly the reason Shawn stayed in Greencliff for so long.
Shawn couldn’t help Victoria, but Ethan could. Shawn could only offer his help out of gratitude.
“Of course, I have time,” replied Ethan with a smile. “But Harold has already gotten in touch with the chamber of commerce from abroad, so don’t you have to go soon? Are you able to make time?”
“I have to attend Victoria’s premiere no matter how busy I am,” replied Diane.
If Victoria didn’t help when Palmer Group was at its crucial development stage, Diane wouldn’t have grown the business so rapidly.
Diane kept it close to her heart all this time.
Now Victoria was breaking into the movie and music industries simultaneously, just like Palmer Group.
So Diane wanted to chat with Victoria about how she felt.
“Okay. If you want to go, I’ll go with you,” said Ethan as he nodded.
Ethan remained by Diane’s side no matter where she went.
Diane immediately called for Ashley and confirmed her schedule. She was certainly busy.
…
Meanwhile,
At Starling City Interstellar Entertainment Company.
Victoria was still very nervous, even though she had seen a fair share of such events. But this time, she was the female lead, and this movie was her debut. She had high hopes and was equally worried about getting disappointed.
“Don’t worry. You put in so much effort, so I’m sure it will be a box office hit,” said Tyler with a smile as he comforted her. “Things have barely begun. This is only the first thing that the company has lined up for you.”
Victoria exhaled deeply. Then she nodded and said, “I know, but I’m still nervous.”
The company produced the movie on its own, so Interstellar Entertainment single-handedly selected the script, people and did the planning.
They didn’t have to worry about finding investors at all since Ethan fully sponsored it. Victoria avoided the trouble of finding investors and only had to focus on the movie.
“Do you know what Mr. Hunt said?” said Tyler as he inhaled and looked at Victoria solemnly.
Victoria stared into Tyler’s eyes without saying a word.
“He said you just have to fulfill your dreams, and he will get rid of all the thorns that lie in your path!”
