Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 282

Zephyr glared at him. "Shut up if you don't know how to talk!"

Nicholas could not even shut his mouth since it was cracked open to a wide grin.

For some reason, Zephyr seemed to stand innately against Neil.

Actually, that was not true. It was more like he could not stand all the men who approached Cordelia.

"Alright, come on!" Nicholas patted Zephyr's shoulder. "Cordelia's just interviewed him once. It's her job. You don't have to get so petty, right?"

"I'm not." Zephyr was stubborn and took a big gulp of beer.

"It's written on your face, and you still deny it!" Nicholas chortled. "Look, why don't you get Neil to attend the event for me? I'll make sure he embarrasses himself there!"

It was only then Zephyr looked better. Both men exchanged a look with a smirk.

"Am I such a petty person?" Zephyr spat and pulled out his phone to call Mr. Smith.

"Figure out something to engage Neil to attend Mr. Thompson's event. Be polite when you talk to him."

Nicholas was rendered speechless.

"He's an award-winning actor. Don't embarrass him in public," Zephyr said seriously before smiling. "Why don't you take the chance and talk to him? Best if you could sign him!" "Hah, sign him and then torture him slowly?"

Zephyr glanced at him. "I have no grudge against him. Why should I torture him? I'm considering for you, so he'll earn money for you like his life depends on it. Your company will grow strong then!"

Nicholas pursed his lips and chuckled. Make Neil earn money like his life depended on it? Would he have a chance to accept interviews then? Without a slot for an interview, Cordelia would not be able to meet him.

'Ah, Mr. Z Hamerton has thought far!'

Sol Entertainment's event was grand. Other than a good part of people in the entertainment industry, famous names in the business and political spheres were also there that day.

Neil's appearance dropped many jaws.

"Mr. Harris is here? This is unbelievable!"

"Didn't they say that Mr. Thompson invited him a few times, but he wouldn't budge?"

"Heh, he's just an actor, no matter how amazing he is! Who's Mr. Thompson? He used to be a gang leader. How could Neil fight him?"

Amidst the whispered comments and discussion, Nicholas and Neil shook hands and took a photo standing together. Both of them wore polite smiles. They looked distant, but the picture of them together was enough of a discussion topic for the others.

Some reporters even began drafting on the spot, claiming that Neil would definitely sign under Sol Entertainment and begin a new journey.

Cordelia went in as a reporter, so she could not help but frown and tug at her chief editor when she saw him drafting the news like everyone else.

"What?" The chief editor's eyes stayed glued to his laptop screen, and his plump hands danced across the keyboard like they were possessed.

"It's not nice to write that without any evidence!" Cordelia said directly.

"What do you know!?" The chief editor snorted. "Everyone's writing it like this. If we don't follow suit, will you be held responsible when we don't have the views and traffic?"

Cordelia said, troubled, "But what if Neil doesn't sign with Sol Entertainment?"

"How's that possible!?" The chief editor looked at her in disdain. "Cordelia, you've interviewed Neil Harris. Do you think he's someone ignorant?"

Cordelia gave it a thought and shook her head.

"That's right!" The chief editor said, "Neil must be able to discern what's good for him and not, having reached this level! Nicholas Thompson's well-versed in both the lawful and unlawful worlds. If Neil doesn't keep Nicholas happy, isn't it akin to waiting for Nicholas to cut him up?"

Cordelia was rendered speechless. She sighed and went to the side to sit down.

She remembered that Zephyr had said he would come today as well, but there were too many reporters here, and he did not like making an appearance in front of the press, so he would come later.
