The 'Defective' Billionaire and His Relentless Appetite for Me
Chapter 59: Chaos in the Atmosphere
CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: CHAOS IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Arthur Davis frowned, falling into deep thought.
He never expected that Clara Bennett would develop an interest in the entertainment industry. He originally thought that after marriage, she would stay home obediently and help him deal with Samuel Grant.
He knew that the main reason Clara was willing to marry him was to take revenge on Samuel Grant.
It was for this reason that Arthur Davis had not taken any action against Samuel Grant, ensuring the wedding could proceed smoothly.
But if Clara really entered the film and television industry, the opportunities for them to meet would greatly decrease.
He imagined her future surrounded by busy work every day.
"In other words, from now on I might often have to stay home alone."
Arthur Davis muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Clara Bennett, who was drinking water, suddenly choked on his words, "Cough, cough, what nonsense are you talking about!"
His words completely caught her off guard.
What kind of complaint is that?
Clara really wanted to shout, "Be rational, Arthur Davis."
She quickly wiped her mouth with her hand and hurriedly explained, "We’re discussing serious matters right now. Could you not say such meaningless things?"
Could you not utter these useless words?
Arthur Davis replied, "I’m just stating the facts. Once you enter the entertainment industry, every day will be consumed by work, not to mention the chaotic atmosphere and numerous temptations within. Our marriage is based solely on an agreement, and if you—"
"Even then, I will not change my initial intentions."
Clara immediately retorted, "During this contractual marriage, I will remain faithful to our agreement. The thing I hate the most is betrayal, and I will never do that."
The situation with Samuel Grant and Daisy Stone, which had disgusted her in two past lives, made it impossible for her to repeat the same mistake.
Arthur Davis truly believed her vow.
But he also realized clearly the troubles and challenges Clara would face once she entered the entertainment industry.
But right now, it didn’t seem suitable to continue discussing this topic, as the atmosphere felt somewhat awkward.
Arthur Davis smiled warmly and gently said, "Well, today we’re here to eat, let’s leave our marriage discussion for tomorrow. First, I want to congratulate you on your successful audition. I’m genuinely happy for you."
His tone carried a bit of concern and warmth.
Clara really liked his orderly manner, finding such a person very reliable.
Raising her glass, she softly said, "Thank you for your blessings. Passing the audition indeed makes me happy. Ever since I was young, my family has always worried I’d be in danger. This is the first time I’m insisting on doing something, and I’ve gained my family’s support, which means the world to me."
The excitement and emotion sparkled in her eyes.
At this moment, she even thought about her past self.
If she had held on a little longer back then, the outcome might have been entirely different.
Perhaps she wouldn’t have ended up in such a tragic situation later on.
Recalling past regrets, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Although she decided to enter the entertainment industry at first because of Nell Sue and her second brother, she surprisingly felt unprecedented happiness and fulfillment after actually doing it.
This was a feeling she’d never experienced before, as if she’d found her true self.
Arthur Davis took a sip of wine and swiftly made a decision in his heart: he couldn’t stop Clara from entering the entertainment industry because it would only make her angry and potentially affect their relationship.
As someone who understands weighing pros and cons, he thought it wasn’t the right time to continue arguing about this issue.
Initially, he wanted to persuade Clara to change her mind, but now he completely abandoned that idea.
He was a shrewd businessman, knowing it’s better to channel energy into more valuable opportunities rather than wasting time on things without results.
Since Clara was happy, he was also willing to support her choice.
After eating, a slight noise came from outside.
The door opened, and Arthur Davis walked in with a few people who appeared to be makeup artists, stylists, and other professionals.
Seeing this, Clara couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "Who are these people...?"
Arthur Davis displayed a gentle smile, explaining, "Didn’t you want to take some photos? I brought the clothes, so they can do your makeup and take some nice pictures."
He was very attentive to her needs, considering everything thoroughly.
Clara slightly embarrassed, said, "This is unnecessary, isn’t it? It’s such a waste of time."
A surge of gratitude welled up in her heart.
Arthur Davis, smiling, said, "It’s okay. I don’t have anything else to do right now, so I can wait for you. No rush."
Clara silently sighed, feeling that Arthur Davis was indeed very considerate.
As she followed the makeup artist to change clothes and apply makeup, she couldn’t help but recall what Arthur Davis mentioned about the differing impacts of their lifestyles.
Indeed, as days go by, she would inevitably become busier due to work requirements, while Arthur Davis, because of his physical condition, could only stay home and not go out.
Being alone day after day truly makes one feel somewhat lonely.
When Clara’s figure completely disappeared behind the room door, the once lively dining table was left with only Arthur Davis and Sam Clarke.
Subsequently, Arthur Davis quickly took out his phone and, without hesitation, called his secretary Sam Clarke.
Arthur Davis inquired, "Sam, you should be in Ocean City by now, right?"
Sam Clarke’s voice was as calm and composed as ever, "Yes, Mr. William Foster, I am here. Do you have any instructions? I’m ready for your orders."
Arthur Davis’s tone was calm yet carried an unyielding power.
"Could you help me find out the specifics of the film audition Young Madam participated in today? I want to be involved in this film’s investment."
"Sure, leave this matter to me,"
Sam Clarke replied.
No matter what kind of task requirement, Sam Clarke wouldn’t ask unnecessary questions.
As long as it was a directive from his superior, he would certainly execute it firmly.
After hanging up the phone, Arthur Davis casually toyed with the transparent, exquisite wine glass, as if pondering something.
In today’s fast-paced information-transmitting society, even the distance across oceans wasn’t a significant hurdle.
With a private jet, it only takes a dozen hours to easily cross the ocean. Hence, for wealthy families like them, the real question is whether they have enough financial resources to solve problems.
Distance has never been the main obstacle for development.
Before long, Clara changed her clothes and came out again.
