Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Arranged Marriage

Ava bristled at Joseph’s comment, feeling her nerves being rubbed raw. Indignantly, she hissed,” Is this how you train your employees?”

Joseph did not even spare her a glance. He scanned the lobby, taking in the scene, and asked, ” What’s going on here?”

Lucas turned his head and quietly explained the situation.

“Remove them from the premises,” Joseph commanded.

“But they’ve already paid for the location, and breaching the contract would require triple compensation…”

“Do we not have enough money to pay for it?” Joseph asked, his voice indifferent.

“Understood, Mr. Joseph.”

After giving the order, Joseph and Alexander entered the elevator together.

Lucas called the security guards to disperse the crew.

“We’ve already paid for the location. You can’t do this to us. It’s against the rules,” the producer objected

With a polite smile, Lucas responded, “Our company will compensate for the location fee according to the stipulated penalty in the contract.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“But we haven’t finished filming yet. The actors and staff have put in tremendous effort. Let’s try to understand each other now.”

Lucas remained resolute and said, “I apologize for the inconvenience, but there are certain individuals whom Mr. Joseph does not favor.”

The producer’s face turned livid, and he angrily turned his head to glare at Ava, who was arrogantly lecturing Wyatt. He was so furious that he immediately called Calvin. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, the producer had an impressive status and was not afraid of these starlets who relied on connections.

Calvin received the call while he was with Noah Gunter, who gestured for him to answer the call. When he saw it was the producer calling, he thought it was work-related and put the call on speaker.

The producer briefly explained the situation, maintaining a relatively polite tone, but there was an underlying tone of complaint. “Mr. Calvin, there are so many people in my crew. It’s not just my efforts that have been wasted. Money is a minor issue. The real problem is finding a suitable replacement location on such short notice. This is really difficult to handle.”

Calvin had interacted with this producer before and knew he was a straightforward man who spoke his mind without reservation. After understanding the situation, he immediately apologized on behalf of Ava.

Calvin’s sigh resonated with a sense of helplessness. “Ava is nothing like Luciana,” he lamented.

Noah chuckled softly in agreement. “Bringing her into the entertainment industry was a mistake.

Grandpa and Grandma never favored such complex environments.”

Calvin could not help but agree with Noah’s assessment, realizing the truth in his words. However, the realization came too late. Looking back, Calvin remembered how he had ventured into the entertainment industry, a decision that had caused Luciana’s parents to view him as unreliable and

reject his pursuit of her. And now, caught up in a moment of excitement, he had unwittingly dragged their granddaughter into the same complex world.

Noah shook his head, unwilling to provide advice for him.

“Come on, I did share Ava’s news with you. Don’t turn your back on me,” Calvin pleaded.

“For now, I prefer not to see Ava,” Noah responded calmly.

Calvin’s square face hardened, appearing quite intimidating. “Are you afraid she’ll compete with you for assets? Don’t forget, you two were betrothed to each other since childhood. Why worry about such matters since you’re family?”

The rapid rise of the Sullivan family as the foremost jewelry merchant in Docwood within a span of just over twenty years was largely attributed to their encounter with a trustworthy partner- Noah’s grandfather. Starting from working with raw materials to crafting exquisite jewelry and expanding their presence through physical stores nationwide, the two families had transcended numerous social strata.

However, the good times did not last long. Noah’s grandfather had tragically passed away in a car accident. To ensure his dear friend’s peace of mind, Dominic Sullivan promised to raise Noah as his own and vowed that if they ever located his granddaughter, a marriage would be arranged between the two, binding them together as one family.

And now, Noah held forty percent of the company shares. As a young man in his early twenties who had not even graduated from college, he possessed wealth that ordinary people would not achieve in several lifetimes.

Noah smiled, his clear and innocent gaze belying his mischievous words. “I just feel that the granddaughter whom Grandpa and Grandma have been talking about for half a lifetime still needs

some polishing. Listening to that earlier call, what stood out to me was her reckless actions and self- centered attitude. Can someone like that truly possess the ability to effectively oversee an entire company?”
