This put Kevin into an awkward situation, and he felt extremely uncomfortable all over..
“Damn it." Kevin couldn't help but wanted to curse..
“What's wrong? Who offended our Mr. Kevin Tsujihara? "A charming voice came from the side, with a bit of sexy hoarseness, revealing a hint of charm, but not too much, everything was just right. If you are in the Hollywood industry, you will know that the eyes seem to be open. In fact, the fiery rose with thorns is definitely not someone to be trifled with..

In Anna Lucia, Kevin saw the appearance of Renly; but the difference is that Renly is more advanced, smarter, and crueler, and he has no desire. Such a person is even more difficult to deal with than Anna Lucia. Yes. If so, Kevin would still prefer to deal with Ana Lucia rather than Renly.

Kevin's pupils shrank slightly.
Ana Lucia then added, "The smart thing about Renly is that he knows what people want and the price they are willing to pay. Although he is very, very annoying, no one can Rejection. This is also the law of the jungle and the law of nature, isn’t it?？”

Last year, Andre traveled the world as the head of Dalmore Whiskey; this year, Andre served as the CEO of Sisyphus Films The official's posture suddenly appeared. This subtle difference destined the situation to be completely different..
“So, everything is set? "Tom-Bernard gently played with the champagne glass in his hand, his eyes shining with interest..

Everyone knows about Renly's talent and market value as an actor, but so far, Renly's hereditary noble background still has unlimited potential that has not been tapped. The most important meaning of the so-called "nobles" is not only that ordinary people can rise to the upper class. The invitation letter is more about the strong connections that celebrities can have access to..
To put it simply, when Wall Street's top tycoons or European financial upstarts attend private parties, ordinary people don't even know that these private parties exist, let alone attend them, even if they are lucky enough to be among the guests like "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden" , they are just "Grandma Liu". But hereditary nobles can easily become guests..
Of course, even hereditary nobles must be divided into grades. There are always three, six or nine grades, and among them, those who can reach the top are naturally the core of everyone's attention..

In fact, in the past two years, there have been constant rumors that the head of Dalmore is preparing to enter Hollywood, but Andre has never responded directly. In the end, after a long time of tinkering, he only made a movie called "Explosion Drummer"; As a result, people in the industry inevitably developed the idea of "rich kids playing for fun". While they paid attention to it, they didn't pay too much attention to it. Every year, you can see such rich second and third generations in Hollywood. They spend a lot of money, come here for a walk, then turn around and disappear.
But things seem to be different now.
So, Tom was asking what he just said: Everything has been determined？
