Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 118 Let the ugly duckling choose Cinderella
After seeing Jamie off, Betty returned home with an uneasy look on her face.

Her sister Hilda immediately noticed something strange about Betty and asked her what happened.

Betty glanced into the living room to confirm that her father and nephew were watching TV, then took Hilda's hand and walked aside, explaining in a low voice:
"I suspect Jamie Dutton has some evil intentions against me!"

Hilda looked at Betty in shock.

That expression clearly said, are you kidding me?
Hilda would rather believe that Jamie has bad intentions for her than that Jamie has any bad intentions for her sister.

Without giving Betty any chance to explain, Hilda pushed her directly into the bathroom and asked her to stand facing the mirror.

"Do you know who Jamie Dutton's girlfriend is? She is the most beautiful girl in the Upper East Side of New York and may also be the richest. Then you look at yourself, do you think your family background is better than others, or do you think you are taller than others? Are they more beautiful?"

Betty turned to look at her sister, lowered her voice and explained:

"I know everything you said, but Jamie Dutton asked me to buy a copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey" and read it thoroughly in one night. Don't tell me you don't know this novel. Yesterday I said I saw this novel hidden under your pillow."

Hilda looked embarrassed, and then defended herself by saying that she hid the book under her pillow just to prevent Justin from finding out.

"So you must know what that book is about, right? Although I haven't read it, I heard from Tracy (neighbor) that the content in that book involves sexual abuse, which is very scary!"

Betty's face was full of panic, as if tomorrow she was going to experience the same terrible thing as the heroine in the book.

Hilda covered her head speechlessly, looking at her hopelessly stupid sister.

"You should really watch "Fifty Shades of Grey". The horrific sexual abuse content in Tracy's mouth is actually just a game of love between the male and female protagonists. It is through these small games that the two of them become friends." fall in love."

"Honestly, if I were a heroine, facing such a handsome and charming man, I would be willing to try those scary games you call——"

Betty was so frightened that she directly covered Hilda's mouth to prevent her from continuing to speak.

"As a mother, how can you have such thoughts?"

Hilda pulled Betty's hand away and emphasized loudly:

“As a single mother, I have the right to do whatever I want with whoever I want!”

Betty didn't want to continue arguing with her sister about this topic, so she brought the topic back to Jamie letting her watch "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Hilda also thought the task Jamie assigned to Betty was weird, but she couldn't believe it to her death that Jamie wanted to do that kind of thing to Betty.

Betty was about to retort, what if Jamie is that kind of pervert?

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.

Both sisters were shocked.

Fortunately, Justin's voice came from outside the door.

He wanted to go to the toilet and asked the people inside if they were okay.

Betty opened the bathroom door, and Justin found it puzzling that his mother and aunt had stayed in the bathroom together for so long.

Hilda fooled her son by telling a casual lie that she was teaching Betty how to dress herself.

The two returned to the living room together.

Betty plans to tell her father about this and ask for his opinion.

Hilda advised Betty not to do this. If she was really worried, she could call Jamie directly to ask for clarification.

If Betty didn't dare, Hilda was more than happy to do it for her.

Betty refused on the spot. She felt that Hilda's proposal to call Jamie was the real ulterior motive.

Neither of them convinced the other.

Just when Betty was about to tell her father about it, a piece of news on TV caught the attention of the whole family.

"Chuck Bass, the son of New York real estate tycoon Bart Buffy, recently revealed in an exclusive interview with Vestar News that the popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" will be adapted into a movie, and Chuck Bass will personally invest and Play the leading role.”

"It is reported that the project will be managed by former CAA founder Michael Ovitz, and Vestar Pictures will be responsible for distribution. Many Hollywood actresses have shown strong interest in the heroine of the film, but Ovitz, the person in charge of the film project It has been stated to the public that the heroine will be selected from new actors."

"Many Hollywood agencies, including CAA, are optimistic about the film project. Authoritative analysts believe that once the film is as successful as the novel, the heroine will become famous overnight and become the most promising newcomer in Hollywood."

Betty and Hilda looked away from the TV screen and quickly looked at each other.

Betty was about to say that Jamie asked her to read through "Fifty Shades of Grey" because he wanted her to audition for the leading role in the movie, right?

Before the words could be spoken, Hilda directly denied them.

"Don't be stupid. Unless Jamie Dutton is deliberately trying to embarrass you like that bastard Daniel, how could he arrange for his assistant to compete for the leading role in a movie?"

Seeing that Betty was still a little worried, Hilda took out her cell phone and dialed Jamie's number.

"Hi, Mr. Dutton, I'm Betty's sister, right? You already recognize my voice, and I have to say you have a really good memory."

Seeing that Hilda was about to talk off topic, Betty quickly signaled her to ask for business with her eyes.

"That's right, Mr. Dutton, Betty just told me that you asked her to read a novel. She didn't quite understand the work, so she wanted me to help her ask."

Betty already regretted it.

She didn't ask Hilda to make the call for her at all, it was all Hilda's own decision.

Just as he was thinking about how to find a suitable reason to snatch the phone from Hilda's hand, Hilda suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Really? Mr. Dutton, are you really prepared to hand over such an important job to Betty?"

Before he finished speaking, Betty snatched the phone away.

"Mr. Dutton, what kind of important work is it? I just-"

Hilda happily hugged her sister and interrupted:

“Betty, you’re the casting director for Fifty Shades of Grey!”

Betty was stunned, fearing that Hilda was joking with her.

Fortunately, Jamie on the other end of the phone heard Hilda's voice and repeated the incident to Betty.

Until the phone hung up, Betty still felt like she was in a dream.

Finally, after repeated reminders from her sister Hilda, Betty was finally willing to believe that all this was true.

The two sisters hugged each other and shouted excitedly, making Justin, who had just come out of the bathroom, look confused.

Just then, Betty suddenly stopped.

I was so excited and happy that I forgot to ask Jamie on the phone just now why she was asked to be the casting director of "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Just as he was hesitating to call Jamie again to ask about the matter, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Hilda and Betty both thought Jamie was returning and rushed to open the door.

Finally, Hilda reached the doorknob lock first.

Opening the door, it was Betty's boyfriend Walter standing outside.

A strange-looking guy with curly hair.

Walter raised his hand and was about to say hello to Hilda, but he didn't expect that the smile on Hilda's face froze instantly when she saw him, and then turned away.

Betty followed and appeared at the door. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and hugged Walter. She almost choked the small Walter with excitement.

Walter thought to himself that it was terrible, his plan to break up with Betty must have been exposed in advance, otherwise Hilda and Betty would not have reacted like this when they saw him.But Walter couldn't figure it out. He just made the decision to break up today. He didn't tell anyone about it. How did Betty's family know?
Could it be seen from his expression?
Impossible. As an assistant sales manager, Walter thought he was qualified in facial expression management.

Just when Walter was struggling with this problem, Betty finally let go of him.

"I have something very important to tell you!"

Walter looked at Betty, who was full of expectation and excitement, with some guilt.

"Really? It just so happens that I also have something very important to tell you."

"Wait a minute!"

Betty put her hands on her chest, feeling that she needed to take a breath first.

She has not recovered from the joy of being appointed by Jamie as the casting director of "Fifty Shades of Grey", and will soon attract a proposal from her boyfriend.

God, was today her lucky day?

Yes, Betty saw the hesitation and nervousness in Walter's expression, but she interpreted it as a signal that her boyfriend was preparing to propose to her.

Walter was about to speak, but Betty asked him to wait.

She wanted to inform her family about the news first.

Walter’s eyes suddenly widened.

He knew very well that Betty's family not only included her sexy and beautiful sister Hilda and her sensible nephew Justin, but also had an amateur boxer father.

If Ignacio knew that he was going to break up with Betty, would he rush out and punch his dog's head off?
Just when Walter was hesitant to run away now, Betty had already turned around and returned home, telling her sister that Walter was planning to propose to her.

"you sure?"

Hilda looked suspicious.

When she opened the door just now, she saw that Walter came empty-handed. If he was proposing, he should at least prepare a bouquet of roses, right?
Betty put her hands on her chest and nodded excitedly.

Seeing this, Hilda had no choice but to suppress her doubts and congratulated her sister first.

Thank God, finally a blind guy fell in love with his ugly sister.

At the same time, Walter stood at the door of Betty's house, counting down silently in his heart.

He decided to count 10 seconds. If Ignacio rushed out with fists clenched, he would immediately turn around and run away.

As a result, Betty came back only halfway through the count.

She closed the door and pulled Walter to the stairs.

"I'm ready."

Looking at Betty who was looking forward to it, Walter was a little confused.

Only then did he realize that Betty had misunderstood.

"Well... why don't you tell me first."

Walter's hesitation was noticed by Betty. She thought her boyfriend was embarrassed, so she nodded happily and announced loudly that she had found a new job.

"Really?"

Walter looked at Betty in shock.

He just heard yesterday that Betty took the initiative to resign, and then found a new job so quickly?
Isn't it promoting some kind of tea potion?

Walter remembered that Betty's sister Hilda once wanted to recommend Betty for a similar job.

"It's true, my new boss is Jamie Dutton. You know who he is, right? The last time we watched the Bulls game, you told me that you dreamed of being as rich as Jamie Dutton. A rich dad who can easily buy an NBA team!"

Walter blinked hard.

He did say such things.

But he still couldn't believe that Betty had just lost her position as the assistant editor of "Mode" and immediately became Jamie Dutton's assistant.

When did Betty become God’s illegitimate daughter?
"Listen, Betty, I know it hurts you to be humiliated by Daniel, the editor-in-chief of Mode. Are you trying to lie to yourself with such outrageous lies?"

The smile on Betty's face froze on the spot.

Walter actually thought he was lying to him?

"Is not it?"

Walter asked angrily:
"I know you're trying to comfort yourself by inventing a better boss than Daniel, but you really shouldn't be lying about Jamie Dutton."

"This is ridiculous. Even a loser like Daniel is willing to use you as his assistant because of his father. How could someone like Jamie Dutton hire you as his assistant?"

Betty was shocked and couldn't believe her boyfriend would say such things to question her.

At this moment, the door to the house behind him suddenly opened.

Nephew Justin, who had been hiding at the door and eavesdropping, came to Walter with a digital camera. On the camera screen was the photo of Jamie taking a photo with their family after dinner tonight.

Walter glanced first and froze when he saw Jamie sitting among Betty's family.

He grabbed the camera and enlarged the photo to make sure it wasn't dazzling, and finally raised his head in astonishment.

Betty shrugged triumphantly.

At the same time, he cast an approving look at his nephew Justin.

Before Walter could apologize, Betty revealed another explosive news.

"Mr. Dutton not only hired me as an assistant, but also gave me a very important job, which is to serve as the casting director of "Fifty Shades of Grey"!"

Walter’s whole body was numb.

Although he still couldn't figure it out, he at least figured out one thing.

Betty is really in luck!

"Now it's your turn, don't you also have something very, very important to tell me?"

Betty looked at Walter expectantly.

"Forehead……"

Walter swallowed nervously.

"Tomorrow... tomorrow is my birthday, and I want to invite your family out for a meal."

Betty looked at her boyfriend confused.

"Isn't your birthday in August?"

Walter hesitated and replied:

"Yes, I always thought my birthday was in August, but my dad called me two days ago and told me that he drank too much on the day I was born and remembered the wrong date. In fact, my birthday is tomorrow."

At the end of the sentence, Walter looked at Betty very firmly.

It doesn't matter if tomorrow is his birthday, the important thing is that he must not break up with Betty, who is about to become famous.

　The trivial matters are over, normal updates will resume tomorrow!
