Mathew's face was red. He didn't think that Susan would say that out loud.
Obviously, the people around him had been misled by her, and they looked at Mathew Carter with obvious contempt.
"Director Carter, the investment is up to the investor's mind, you are too overbearing?"
"Miss Luna is right, the money is hers. It is her business to invest or not, or you can try other investors."
***
Their comments were said tactfully, and a young man that had been following Susan was looking at him with contempt. "Hey, although you are looking for Luna to make movies, you had good taste, but I warn you, don't beg in front of us!"
Mathew was so angry. These people called him beggar? If it weren't because for Susan, who played him, he wouldn't have been treated like that. Susan was not only not guilty but actually humiliated him in public.
He wanted to slap Susan, but he was representing Joshua-Hazel Pictures. He must remain calm and in control.
Mathew endured the anger. "Susan, please don't feel too good about yourself. I am not looking for you today..."
"You are not looking for me, then what are you doing?" Susan sneered,
"Mathew, don't you know who you are? This kind of reception isn't for some director who is no longer famous. Did you really think that you could sneak in and become an uninvited guest? Please tell us which guest brought you, and let us open our eyes..."
Hazel looked from far away and had become angry. She did not expect that so many things happened in a short period of time. Almost all of the guests looked at the drama that Susan appeared to be causing; people were beginning to mock and sneer at Mathew.
Any person who would humiliate Mathew was to humiliate Joshua-Hazel Pictures and also humiliate her. Although she didn't want to cause a scene, the situation could not be ignored.
Hazel was preparing to rush over. "Hazel, let me handle it," said a familiar voice from behind her.
She relaxed and turned to look at Joshua with surprise.
Joshua walked by her indifferently and gave her a calm look.
"I see you secretly snuck in!" The man who had been talking harshly said again, "Where do you think Denmark's c.o.c.ktail party is, can a person like you come here? Security guard, take him out!"
"Mathew was the guest I invited, I am curious, who wanted to kick him out?" Joshua said in a deep voice.
His voice was not big, but the whole hall quieted down for a moment. And it seemed that even the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Of course, everyone recognized Joshua, but they did not think that Mathew was actually invented by Joshua? They were all surprised and open-mouthed, with an expression of disbelief.
A few people even went to the trash can blankly and pulled out the business card they threw away.
"Sir Denmark, sir, you are really good at telling a joke..." The man's lips were slightly twitching, and his look was fl.u.s.tered. It was he who drove away from the guests of Joshua, and this was a crime that will kill him!
"I am a person good at making jokes?" Joshua's eyes fell coldly on his body, and the man's face was paler.
Joshua looked away toward Mathew and calmly reached out his hand. "Mathew, hello."
"Sir Denmark, hello," Mathew said excitedly.
He was humiliated, but because of his relationship, he would affect the Joshua-Joshua Pictures. He had never known what to do before, but now Joshua appeared, he helped him out. He must take advantage of this opportunity to explain everything clearly.
"Miss Edwards, you invested in my movie, and when it started to shoot, you suddenly un-invested so that the whole crew was affected. Although you are not kind, the crew has new investors. Please do not feel good about yourself in the future. Don't think that I am coming to you to ask for help."
"You..." Susan stared at him angrily. She was still stunned, and she did not understand why Joshua would invite Mathew. However, in the blink of an eye, he explained everything neatly.
Everyone looked at Susan strangely, everyone believed Mathew. After all, he was invited by Joshua, why bother to ask Susan for an investment?
Susan still wanted to argue, but something to shock everyone even more happened.
"Mathew, please forgive me for the matter just now," Joshua said with an apology. "It is my negligence that made you feel embarrassed."
Joshua actually apologized to Mathew? Everyone was paralyzed.
Although he said it with enough euphemism, they had humiliated Mathew, but Joshua apologized, they were sitting on pins and needles.
"Mathew, I am really sorry about the matter just now," said one person near Mathew, who was guilty. "I was also deceived and didn't know the truth..."
"Right, right, we shouldn't have blamed you without knowing the truth..."
Those who have just humiliated Mathew began to apologize one by one.
One of them seemed to be thinking then suddenly said, "Mathew, you just said, you are from the Joshua-Hazel Pictures? Do you think we can talk?"
Everyone suddenly turned to him, how can these people be so sly? They quickly echoed, "Joshua, we can also talk about it. Our company also has plans to enter the entertainment industry ..."
Within a few moments, all the people who originally surrounded Susan were all around Mathew, and they all had a strong interest in Joshua-Hazel Pictures. Mathew naturally knew what to do next.
The problem was solved, Joshua looked in the direction of Hazel, lifting his lips. Seeing no one paying attention to them, Hazel boldly blew him a kiss.
Susan was distraught, Joshua helped Mathew, which has made her very embarrassed, and then he and Hazel were blowing kisses at each other.
Is it still necessary for her to apologize to Mathew? She was annoyed with a cold sigh and left with anger. Her agent Mandy swiftly followed her and kept encouraging, "Luna, this c.o.c.ktail party will open doors with a lot of people, which is very important for your development in..."
"What do you want me to stay here and be humiliated?" Susan was annoyed.
"I don't know what Joshua meant! I have shown love to him many times, and I am still his cousin. But how can he not feel like this, humiliating me again and again?!"
"Is there any misunderstanding? Sir Denmark was not a stingy person!" Mandy also felt a little confused. She thought of something, suddenly said, "Luna, you said that it would be a little money to invest in Mathew's movie?"
