My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 521

Chapter 521

It's my own fault; just why did I look at Mr. Nolan's screen?

Lucas kept his phone discreetly while he ate.

Spencer was speechless again.

He only realized just then that something seemed amiss.

Was Mr. Nolan showing off how loving they were and reminding me how freaking single I am?

Spencer was slightly disgruntled. How could I not have noticed that sooner?

Mr. Nolan, seriously? Should you be behaving this way already? You are officially still divorced! Is it really a good idea to be flaunting your love now?

Hmph! Does it give you this much satisfaction to provoke singletons?

In Haddock Group's President's office, Kate was sitting on the sofa with tears in her eyes. Tugging on Dixon's arm, she said sincerely, "Dixon, ever since your mom left, I have not stopped missing her. Last night, she appeared in my dreams and wanted me to check on you to see how you are doing."

"Aunt, just be direct with me. What's up?" Dixon asked unemotionally.

Familial relationships no longer meant anything to him.

Besides, he was sure that Kate would not visit him if she did not have anything up her sleeve. Even though she was his aunt, they hardly kept in touch with each other.

The Fraser family had enjoyed a good reputation these two years due to Lochlan's position in the firefighting department.

As such, the family was increasingly disapproving of Dixon's ruthless ways

"Oh, nothing much. It's just that we have a movie coming up, but the Fraser Corporation is a bit tight financially and requires some funding. I'm here to discuss this investment opportunity with you."

Kate flashed a pleasing smile and wiped her tears away.

"Oh? Really?" Dixon cocked his eyebrows. He was not the least bit interested in this opportunity.

The Haddock Group did, in fact, invest in dramas or films occasionally, but unlike the Nolan Group, they did not have a specialized media company under them.

Even though Kate noted the indifference in Dixon's response, she decided to be thick-skinned and continued to persuade him, "I guarantee that this movie will be a hit. The script is written by the wife of the up- and-coming genius director, Frank, and Frank himself is personally directing the movie. The cast is also made up of the most popular idols. Why don't you take a look at the script first?"

Dixon was aware of Frank's popularity.

He heard that this new director was extremely talented and had already received a grand award for his very first movie.

"Where's the script?"

"I have it right here," Kate replied while whipping out the script from her bag, and placed it in front of Dixon. "The genre of the movie is romance and the storyline talks about an angel and a devil who had descended on Earth at the same time. We are targeting the younger audience and are confident that the movie would appeal to them. After all, majority of the cinema-goers these days consists of teenagers and youths. We can create a scandal between the main actor and actress to hype up the movie. It'll definitely arouse everyone's interest successfully."

Dixon scrutinized the cover page of the script before flipping to the first page.

It was not a bad idea to invest in movies.

The corners of Dixon's mouth curled up while he flipped through the pages casually. "Aunt, you're right. With a good crew and the right cast, it wouldn't be difficult for this movie to be a hit. However, I have a condition."

Kate's eyes lit up and quickly replied, "What's your condition?"

The smile on Dixon's face grew broader and an unfathomable glint appeared in his eyes. "I want to have both the distribution and production rights of the movie."

"Dixon, you..." Kate's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, trying to take advantage of Dixon was like getting blood from a stone.

However, Kate was in urgent need of funding.

Even though the Fraser Corporation seemed glamorous on the outside, it did not have any additional cash flow for her to invest in movies.

However, Kate used to be in showbiz. She had retired to working behind the scenes after winning the best actress award in order to have more time to focus on her family.

For the past few years, she worked as a producer and had a part in making some mediocre dramas. This was her first shot at producing a movie.

If the movie ended up being a hit, as the producer, Kate would definitely be widely recognized in the industry.

"Aunt, you're the movie's producer, so even if the production and distribution rights belong to the Haddock Group, it wouldn't really affect you. You would still have a lot of say in the movie," Dixon said in a bewitching tone. "Don't you think it's better to collaborate with me than other people?" he added.

"Dixon, how much are you intending to invest?" Kate gritted her teeth and asked.
