Chapter 2210
"Ricky, did you do something? Don't you think that I know you well?" Victor's tone was very serious. All these years, the children had been abroad, but they were not distant with each other.
He had always loved his six children.
"Dad, no, you're thinking too much. I'm getting older and I always miss my childhood so I can't help asking Mom. Why do you suspect that I've caused trouble?"
Victor looked at him with dark eyes and warned, "You'd better not make trouble. Alice, do you know her? She came to our house for dinner a while ago?"
Henrick's nerves tensed up instantly, and he asked subconsciously, "I know her. She's the screenwriter for our drama. What's wrong?"
"Hmph! You know her dad, right? Every time your Uncle Klein called me, his words were full of sarcasm, as if I accidentally offended him. I've thought about it for many years. I've always divided our profits 50-50 and I've never treated him shabbily. He deserves a beating."
Henrick was shocked. "Could it be that Uncle Klein knows about me and Alice? Considering Uncle Klein's temper and how precious Alice is to him, if he knew that I was that scumbag, he would have gone abroad to beat me up," he thought to himself.
"Dad, what did Uncle Klein say?"
Hearing this, Victor's expression became more and more gloomy. "Didn't your sister get married? Every now and then, he would call me and ask if there's any good news with her. Why don't I have a grandchild at my age?"
"It sounds like he has a grandchild. Why does he care so much about whether I have a grandchild or not?"
"Bert loves his daughter, so he never had a second child. I guess he must be envious of me having five sons and a precious daughter. That's why he's so jealous." Victor's expression once again grew haughty.
Henrick was a little confused and he wondered, "Why did Uncle Klein say that for no reason?"
"Henrick, treat Alice well in the crew. Don't let your Uncle Klein say anything else," Victor warned.
He wasn't afraid of Bert, but it wasn't bad to be friendly with him for so many years.
Henrick nodded and asked, "Dad, when did Uncle Klein start acting like this?"
Victor lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. "In the past few years; it has been like this for about five or six years."
Henrick was speechless. "Does he know?" He thought.
After Henrick had his lunch, he asked Josue to pick him up and bring him back to the set.
It was only then that he remembered that he had fallen asleep last night. He wondered if Dwayne had left Alice behind the night before.
He dialed the director's number in the car.
Dwayne said, "Mr. Henrick, thank you for finally remembering me."
Henrick was stunned. Had he ever forgotten him? He wondered.
"Where's Alice?" Henrick asked.
Dwayne answered, "Mr. Henrick, I asked Alice to stay last night."
Henrick suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Kline, well done. I will invest some funds so that this drama will be better."
"Hehe..." The director smiled unkindly. "Mr. Henrick, I was waiting for you to say the words."
Henrick was speechless. He felt like he had been sold yet he was paying a lot of money!
He smiled, but he was in a good mood because Alice was staying. "Mr. Kline, I'll have Josue transfer the money to your account tomorrow."
Dwayne, who was massaging his feet, was so excited that his toes curled up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Henrick, thank you. Then, please rest for three days. Alice is a little tough, and I had to use many ways to keep her here."
Henrick smiled and remarked, "Mr. Kline, thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, no, it's not hard at all. With your investment, I'm so happy." Dwayne smiled from ear to ear. Even after hanging up the phone, his smile was still there.
He was in such a good mood that he completely forgot about his feet.
The assistant director opened the door and came in. Seeing that Dwayne was overjoyed, he asked with a smile, "Director, did anyone invite us to dinner tonight? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Dwayne held his chin with both hands and smiled with white teeth. "Is it like a flower?"
The assistant director was speechless but then he responded, "Director, I think your statement is very formal. I think it's better than flowers."
Dwayne was arrogant, but it didn't affect other people's moods. "I have an idea now. For the final scene, let's hold the wedding on a super luxury cruise ship."
The assistant director was stunned and said with a smile, "Director, you are brave and experienced. We don't have enough funds so where will we get a cruise ship"
"Hey, what are you afraid of with Mr. Henrick here? Besides, many of the sea routes and cruise ships belong to the Alwynn family. Anyway, it's their family that makes money. When I mention it, he will agree."
"That's because he also wants to perform the role of the romantic and dazzling president!" Dwayne smiled and put on his slippers before heading off to make coffee.
The assistant director always felt that there was something wrong here, but he couldn't say it.
When Henrick arrived at the hotel, he went to look for Alice, but he met Alma halfway.
When he saw her again, he had a complicated look in his eyes.
He had told Josue not to tell Alma about his visit to the hotel.
Although Josue was puzzled, he could guess some things.
The relationship between Alma and Henrick was not as intimate as before.
That was because when Henrick mentioned her, the gaze in his dark eyes suddenly looked distant, and the light in his eyes was dim.
He really wanted to know what had happened.
"Henrick, you're here?" Alma didn't notice anything strange about him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Henrick suddenly understood that she didn't care about him as much as he had imagined.
What she knew was that he would tolerate many things and accept many things for her.
"Yes!" He nodded lightly.
"Henrick, shall we have dinner together tonight? The director said that we can rest for three days and we don't have to film tomorrow." She smiled shyly and invited him..
He instantly remembered what Heidi had said. Alma would seize this opportunity to plot against him.
He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe in a few days. I have something to do today. My mother asked me to accompany Miss Klein. You know, we have business dealings."
She was stunned, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion. Her expression was ugly, but she still asked with a smile, "Henrick, I thought you didn't want to see her?"
He was very curious about why she knew about his relationship with Alice. His expression was like usual, but there was a little coldness in his eyes. Looking at the innocent face in front of him, he suddenly felt that she was very pretentious; even her smile was so deliberate and gentle.
"Alma, who told you that I didn't want to see Alice?" His voice was a little cold.
Her smile gradually froze, and she felt that he had changed a little.
