Chapter 1884 Both Sides Win
“So it’s because of Wilbur that you voted for him, Maya,” Nina sneered.
Maya glanced back with annoyance. “You don’t get to say that to me when you vote for Aunt Sheila because she promised you benefits too, Nina!”
Both of them quarreled with each other before Juan stepped forward and spoke. “Voting is always going to involve personal greed. Either someone brings up how close they are to the voter or offers benefits to get them on board. I think a voting system like this is the most unfair one.”
Davin, who lost due to a half vote, added, “Juan’s right. I also think it’s unfair.”
“What do you mean, Davin? The result’s already out. Are you going back against your word?” Sheila crossed her arms.
“I’m not. I’m just feeling indignant.”
“You don’t have the right to feel indignant.”
“Yeah, I do!”
“Stop arguing with each other, Uncle Davin, Aunt Sheila. I think Joy makes the most sense. I don’t think you need to build your own underground palace. You can just have a discussion with Steven and use his underground palace to do what you want. Then, you can use some of that money to support Aunt Sheila’s movie. This way, both of you get what you want! Isn’t that better?” Juan proposed.
Sheila gave it some thought. “What happens when I get too busy and need help?”
“Then let Uncle Davin help you! You two are a couple, and he’s your husband. He should help you.”
“What do you think, Davin?”
Davin pondered and shrugged. “Sure. If she needs my help, she can give me a call, and I’ll help her out.”
“All right, then! It seems like this voting ended up with both sides winning!” Sophia was happy with the result. “Starting from tomorrow, both of you will be busy with your own things. I’ll take good care of Zayden and Joy.”
“Thank you, Mom!” Sheila smiled brightly at her.
“No need to thank me. We’re family, after all!”
“Now that the voting has concluded, I’m heading back to Imperial Garden.”
“All right. It’s getting late, anyway. Be safe when you’re driving back.”
“We will, Mom. You should rest early too.”
When Evan’s family left Imperial Garden and prepared to head home, Davin followed them out and mentioned the people with green dragon tattoos who attacked them at Daemonic Mount. “I don’t think those people are just a bunch of thugs. Say, do you think they’ll come to this city to attack us? Our family didn’t really offend anyone, right? Why did they attack us so viciously?”
“It’s probably related to the treasure in Daemonic Mount. I’ll get someone to figure out who they are as quick as I can.”
“I’ll also send someone to investigate the matter. We should be on alert for the time being.”
“I agree. Rest soon, Davin.”
As he watched Evan’s family leave, Davin felt uneasy. He guessed that it had something to do with Joy, but without evidence, he couldn’t say for sure. Even though the treasure’s still not opened yet, it’s already attracting the wrong kinds of attention. He couldn’t help but sigh at that thought.
He turned around and headed back to his room.
The next day, after Sheila finished her breakfast, she began to work on her project and focused entirely on investing in a movie. Davin headed back to the underground palace and continued to use it to make money.
Two days later, Sheila obtained a pretty good script. She was attracted by the main female lead and wanted to play that role.
However, everyone in the film crew thought she was too old for the role, and the screen test really supported it. They all believed a younger actor should give it a shot.
“This is your first time investing in a movie, Ms. Muir. We should play things safe and make sure it is flawless. Only then we’ll be able to make this movie a success.”
