But now is really not the time. I asked secretly, tugging urgently at Chase’s sleeve.
“You know, there are a lot of investors in this movie?”
“What? The director explained at the beginning of the announcement that the production was in danger of being canceled because they couldn’t find proper investors…”
“Then should we invest here? What do you think? That sounds great!”
I cut off Chase’s nagging about what I was doing instead of focusing and started again, and got straight to the point. Chase looked down at me with a face that seemed speechless, and although I didn’t mean to, I felt like I had defeated him since I had left him speechless, and I felt proud.
“Okay, let’s say we’ve already invested, let’s go get something to eat.”
Chase, who had been biting his lower lip for a while, opened his mouth with a sigh while caressing the back of my head. It seemed like he wanted to bang my head, but he was holding back by pinching his thighs because of the baby in his stomach.
“I’m not just saying, you really need to invest here! I think this is going to work out really well. Don’t you believe me?”
“Oh, I can’t believe it.”
“Trust me just this once…”
“Let’s say I believe you. Do you know how much it costs to make a movie? What kind of money do you invest in?”
“The real estate market is going to be a huge hit!”
“real estate?”
Chase frowned and thought for a moment. But then he turned his head again and glared at me, his pitch-black eyes shining so fiercely that they seemed to freeze the air around him, and it was almost murderous.
“You mean Garden City? Did you really have to buy that? I told you not to!”
“Huh? You said you’d buy it then!”
“Have you been scammed by a scammer? How much did you pay for it? Get rid of it now, quickly!”
“No! I said it would go up hundreds of times. Why don’t you believe me?”
“If it were you, would you believe it? You?”
“What’s wrong with me!”
“Look in the mirror. Do you see how dazed you look?”
“It’s better than looking like someone else!”
“Who? Could it be me?”
“Then me?”
I was so upset that I blurted out what was in my mind without realizing it. But I still felt resentful and squinted my eyes
“Puppy, isn’t the lecture going on?”
“applicants…”
“what?”
“Huh…”
I reluctantly lowered my eyes, but I still had to say it. Garden City real estate is going to skyrocket, and this movie is going to be a huge hit!
But I was scared of Chase, so I just kept it to myself. He’s been quiet lately, but I didn’t know when the black panther would show its fangs and eat me again. What a bad boy…
At that moment, someone tapped my shoulder from behind with their fingertips.
When I looked back, it was Abel again. I blinked in surprise, inwardly embarrassed.
Why did you call me? Did you become interested in Chase again?
“Excuse me, junior. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I just happened to hear about Garden City.”
“Huh? Why Garden City?”
But unexpectedly, the topic of real estate came up instead of Chase. I glanced at Chase in confusion, but Chase also looked at Abel with a puzzled expression and said nothing.
Then Abel smiled and held out his cell phone screen to me
“I just got a news flash that they’re lifting development restrictions. Your bet paid off, junior?”
“Yes? Right now? Really?”
I was confident, but I didn’t expect the announcement to come so quickly. I was so excited about winning the first lottery that I unconsciously grabbed Abel’s hand tightly. I felt sorry that Abel seemed to flinch, but I couldn’t help but feel excited, so I turned around and shouted to Chase in a triumphant manner.
“See, I was right”
Mr. Bruno

1 [6:39 PM Sirㅋㅋㅋㅋ==Calm down=====]
1 [6:39 PM Oh, I’m sorry, I had to mute it because I was in an event hallㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
I left the banquet hall in a hurry and my cell phone was in chaos. I kept laughing. I left a message to the director asking him to call me after checking the message and turned on the news screen. The beautiful article title greeted me again —
Government surprises by lifting restrictions on Garden City development
Development restriction zone lifting card pulled out amid controversy over “supply shortage Construction company to be selected as early as the end of next month
He smiled brightly and thrust his phone in front of Chase.
“Say it quickly and admit it.”
“What did I do wrong?”
“You ignored what I said! Did you do something wrong or not?”
“…Wait a minute.”
Chase washed his face several times and then asked with a bewildered expression as if he couldn’t believe it.
“The restrictions have really been lifted?”
“Oh, that’s right. I’ve been living a lie!”
When else would I shout in front of the Black Panther? I stomped my feet and raised my voice. Chase, who would have normally scolded me to stop messing around, seemed to still be in shock, staring blankly into space and mumbling repeatedly.
