416 Chapter 416: The Card Game (1/2)

Dora's eyes were full of tears and drank up her wine.

Seeing they were all enjoying wine, Kylie licked her lips and felt envious.

After several toasts, they began to enjoy the food.

Dora gradually calmed herself down and looked at Kylie, saying, ”I've watched Dangerous World, and you've done a great job in it.”

Kylie raised her glass of juice. ”Dora, I still need your help in the future.” Hearing that, Dora felt like crying.

William put down his knife and fork. ”Aunt Ethan, shouldn't you help me first?”

”Haven't I already done that?” Kylie smiled. ”I've cleared your name.”

”It's not enough!” William said. ”Well, why don't you take part in the show which I just established, so everyone will know we're getting along well as usual.”

”You just want to attract more attention to your show.” Dora smiled. ”Mrs. Parker's appearance fee is very high now, and not every show can afford it.”

Hearing Dora address Kylie as Mrs. Parker, others around the dining table were all shocked, and looked at Kylie with delight.

Kylie beamed and held Dora's arm. ”Dora is right, and I listen to Dora. Dora, do you think I should join in his new show?”

Dora pretended that she was making a hard decision, then said, ”Well, why don't you hire me as the planner of your new show, and I can help you persuade her to join in it.”

Hearing that, William wore a sad face. ”Why is it so difficult for me to start up a business?”

”Dora...” When Ethan was about to say something, Dora interrupted him.

”Ethan, please let me try it myself this time. I want to see whether I have the ability to build a successful business on my own.”

She decided to prove her ability before Ethan's face. Without relying on Ethan, she could also become an outstanding entertainment worker.

Ethan nodded, then looked to William.

William felt more stressed right now and didn't dare to reject it.

”No problem. We can share the benefits 3-7. I take 30%, and you take 70%, but Kylie-Aunt Ethan must be a long-term guest in my show!” William said.

Fannie was a member of Kylie's company, so she, of course, sided with Kylie. ”It's very generous of Kylie that she joins your show for the first episode. If the show is high in the ratings, the price will be higher in the second episode.”

”What? Fannie is also working for you now?” William was surprised.

”Fannie is an excellent member of my studio.” Kylie smiled. ”Fannie, you've put it very well, and I'll offer you a higher salary!”

Nate looked at them and said with his jaw laid on his palm, ”How come I have a feeling that you all are working for a couple of Kylie and Ethan?”

”You didn't realize it until now?” Stephen opened his mouth. ”Ethan must pay today's bill.”

”No problem!” Kylie said on behalf of Ethan and raised her glass again.

After drinking for a while, they started to chat with each other in two and three.

William was talking with Kylie about his ideas about his new show. Dora made an excuse that she wanted to smoke and left the private room.

She stood on the terrace, looking at the bright moon in the dark sky. She took a long breath out with smoke and suddenly felt someone was standing behind her.

Dora didn't bother to turn around, and said, ”Kylie's pregnant now, and you can't smoke. I bet you must miss it.” Saying that she drew out a cigarette and handed it over. ”It's not very strong. You can enjoy it.”

”I've already got rid of it,” he said lightly.

Dora was struck dumb for a second, then turned around to look at Ethan. His delicate fine features looked more attractive in the moonlight.

She knew it more clearly than anyone else how addicted he had been to cigarettes, but he could get rid of it for the sake of Kylie.

There was a wry smile on her lips, and she put the cigarette back. ”She's your angel.”

”She's my life.” Ethan sounded determined.
