Chapter 342: Capet Illumination Animation

After Charles Capet left the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, he returned to Charlize Theron's villa with her.

In Charlize Theron's penthouse apartment in Hollywood, which she bought this year for $2.75 million.

The 2,700 square-foot area had only two rooms and two bathrooms, with a large living room and a very elegant overall decoration.

"Mmm," in the living room on the sofa, Charles was kissing Charlize Theron, with high heels and coats scattered messily on the carpet.

"Charles, wait," Charlize Theron pushed Charles slightly. "I have something to ask you!"

"What's up?" Charles paused his caresses on the woman's thigh and looked at her.

Originally, Charles had planned to ask Gal Gadot out, but after running into Charlize Theron, he no longer felt the need to.

Charlize Theron and her long-term boyfriend Stuart Townsend were on-and-off and didn't seem to be that close.

This year, they broke up again. It was rumored to be because Stuart Townsend wanted to get married, and Charlize Theron outright refused.

Charles thought it was the right choice to console Charlize Theron, and the fact that she was scared of marriage only made him like her more.

"I heard from Evelyn that your assistant started an Angel City Capital company and has made quite a bit of money recently? I have some savings," Charlize Theron explained, considering she was an artist under Evelyn Capet.

Dona Williams used to work with Evelyn, and later became Charles' personal assistant, among other things.

"My investment sense is terrible. Look at this house, I bought it in March this year, and now it's lost at least $400,000 in value!"

Charles chuckled, "House prices started dropping in June. This place can't compare to Bel Air, the hillside of Beverly Hills, or the coastal areas. You bought it at a high price. You should be thanking Jesus if you can sell this house for $2 million in the future!"

Charles leaned back on the sofa. "I also bought quite a few properties in the second half of the year, overseas ones, in Long Island, New York, and Malibu Beach. A few days ago, when I returned from London, I had people buy a beachfront resort villa in Kauai, Hawaii as well.

Dona's AC Capital is doing well. If you have money, you can give it to her to manage. It shouldn't lose out."

Charlize Theron nodded, stretched out her long legs over Charles, and smiled, "I can't compare to you. You buy houses like you're buying toys."

After saying that, Charlize Theron sat on Charles' lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.

Charles responded warmly, his hands moving from her thighs upwards, the heat between them rising.

...

While Charles was spending a passionate night with Hollywood's sexy goddess Charlize Theron, on the other side in Santa Monica, at Donna Langley's villa.

Donna Langley, the president of Capet Pictures, had just finished a call with her husband when her assistant called.

"What's up?" Donna Langley asked.

"Chris Meledandri agreed to help us establish Capet Illumination Animation and hopes we agree to fund the development of the first 3D animated feature," the assistant explained.

"Alright, have him come to the office on Monday. I want to discuss the details with him," Donna Langley responded, having anticipated this outcome, without much surprise.

"Mr. Chris Meledandri is very fond of our company's mascot. He plans to include the Minions in the animated movie," the assistant added.

"The Minions?" Donna Langley was surprised for a moment. Wasn't that the little figure Charles made himself and found cute enough to be the mascot of Capet Entertainment?

Marvel Entertainment had its own toy business, and the Minions were on display, but Donna hadn't heard that they sold particularly well.

Donna found it a bit amusing. Could it be that Charles' playful side was at work?

"Okay, I get it. Capet Pictures just needs an animated feature market. Let's hope Chris Meledandri doesn't disappoint us," Donna Langley thought. Her status had risen, and her ambition grew with her power in Hollywood.

Movies and TV shows were under her belt, but the children's market was still lacking, as Marvel Entertainment primarily promoted adult comics.

Developing an animated feature was urgent; otherwise, watching Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, and Blue Sky Studios dominate the market was frustrating.

Even Sony Pictures Animation and Warner Bros. Animation were developing their own 3D animated features. Capet Entertainment couldn't just sit by and do nothing!
