I Won’t Get Involved

[Chapter 272]

Can I switch out the director?" David asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Homer looked puzzled.

Not only him, but Marie and Hannah also looked stunned.

They had no idea David would make such a request.

Homer immediately understood.

David must have had a grudge against him for scolding Marie earlier.

Was he not humiliating him when he scolded his woman in front of him?

He regretted it now. He should have gotten the facts straight first.

What should he do now?

Although he was the head of the movie, the investor was the core of the project.

Without investors' money, the project would never go forward. On the contrary, any director with a bit of fame could replace him.

If David did become the backer for this movie, he could replace him with just one word.

The reason was simple. The project could work without him, but it would fail without an investor like David.

"Mr… Mr. Lidell! I was actually…"

Homer wanted to explain, but David interrupted him before he could finish.

"Can I switch out the director or not?" David asked as he looked at Marie and Hannah.

"You can, but…"

Before Hannah could finish, David beat her to it by saying, "It's fine as long as I can switch him out. Aren't you Marie's manager? I'll leave this matter to you. My initial investment is one billion dollars. I'll top up if it isn't enough."

David's phone rang.

"Hello?" David answered the phone and said.

"Mr. Lidell, I have some contracts here for you to sign! Are you at the hotel?" Hugo Carlos, the

head of Capital city's investment team, said.

"I'm in the hall on the sixtieth floor. Come over. I happen to want to talk to you about something," said David.

"Okay, Mr. Lidell. Give me a minute!"

A few minutes later, Hugo came panting to David.

He dared not keep the big boss waiting.

"Mr… Mr. Lidell, here… here are some documents you need to sign," Hugo said breathlessly.

Without even a glance, David scribbled on it and said, "I want to invest in a movie with an initial investment of one billion dollars with the possibility of topping it up later if it's insufficient. Talk to Hannah about the contract. I won't get involved."

"Okay, Mr. Lidell!" Replied Hugo.

Then, he turned to Hannah and said, "Hello, I'm Hugo Carlos, the head of Mr. Lidell's investment division in Capital City."

He did not mention East League International.

It was because East League International was now quite famous in the investment circle, and David said he did not want others to find out he was the boss behind East League International yet.

"Hello… Hello! My… my name is Hannah Clement!" Hannah stammered.

She had not come back to her senses.

How did David go from being a fraud to being a boss?

From the looks of things, a billion-dollar investment was nothing to him.

'Gosh!

'How on earth did Marie meet such a wealthy person?

'He's young!

'He's handsome!

'And he's rich!
