Chapter 148 Ebony: Someone Very Important to Me
In the hotel room, Darryl was dealing with official duties when he suddenly received a call from the chief director of "The Shining Light".
"One million?"
Darryl put down the pen in his hand and took off his glasses. He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Who was the other party?"
The chief director's attitude was very attentive and he quickly said, "I was not sure who the other party was. He did not introduce himself but only asked his assistant to talk, but I heard that they were from Marintopia."
Darryl squinted his eyes.
The chief director expressed his loyalty again, "We didn't agree with them, and we made it clear that our program was fair and open! We are not engaged in those things in a hideous mess!"
Darryl casually replied to him and hung up the phone. After that, he called William and ask him to check.
After instructing William and putting down the phone, Darryl was about to continue working when he saw the avatar of the family group flashing on the phone.
There were a lot of chats in the family group every single day, which Darryl usually blocks.
Darryl clicked in and saw that the message was sent by his father.
The content was very simple, the general idea was that the engagement of Lloyd and the younger sister was called off. From now on, Lloyd was no longer the future son-in-law of the Gibson family.
Darryl, "..."
Darryl was stunned looking at the message.
In the chat group, many people were asking why?
But father never showed up again and there was no explanation.
Darryl stared at his phone for a while, then took a screenshot of the announcement and sent it to Lloyd.
On Lloyd's side, it took more than an hour to reply to him.
Lloyd: [I know.]
Darryl immediately replied: [Are you happy now?]
Lloyd: [?]
Darryl replied: [Didn't you want to call off the engagement previously, now your wish has been fulfilled, are you happy?]
There was no reply from the other side.
Darryl rejoiced in Lloyd's misfortune, he felt that Lloyd must be pissed off now.
So he arrogantly sent another message.
Darryl: [Why don't you reply?]
After this message was sent out, a big red exclamation mark appeared on the screen.
A system message is prompted below.
[You have been added to the blacklist by the other party, please send a friend request before chatting.]
Darryl, "..."
After the first episode of "The Shining Light" was broadcasted, it gained some popularity.
The program team was very happy, and soon after, they arrived at the fourth performance stage.
Belinda and Victor did not show up this time. After the host said some nice words, they announced the two new mentors.
These two mentors were both singing and dancing artist who have achieved fame in the industry earlier, and they are absolutely qualified to be mentors.
On the day of the fourth performance, Lorena was eliminated from the competition.
Without Belinda and Victor, Lorena lost her backer. It was impossible to go on by her ability, elimination is just a matter of time.
After the recording was over, Ebony was removing makeup backstage when she saw a missed call on her phone.
She called back, spoke briefly to the other side and hung up.
After a while, Ebony changed back to her casual clothes. A staff came in at this time and said loudly, "There is a dinner party tonight, raise your hand if you want to join us, I will count the number of people."
Ebony hurriedly raised her hand, "Me, me!"
The staff saw her and counted her in, and said, "56..."
Ebony hurriedly said, "I bring my family, I bring my family!"
The staff said, "You are bringing Janet, right? Okay, 57..."
Ebony added, "Oh, oh, there's Janet, I'll bring two people!"
Staff, "..."
In the end, Ebony alone occupied three quotas.
When Janet received the call and came to the TV station, she saw Ebony standing downstairs, waiting for someone on her tiptoe.
Janet quickly trotted over, her face blushed. She held Ebony's arm, "Ebony, you came down to pick me up."
Ebony said, "I am not here to pick you up."
Janet, "..."
Janet silently stood aside.
At this time, a group of trainees came out of the elevator.
Stella was in this group of people, she saw Ebony and came over quickly, pulling the corner of Ebony's clothes.
When Ebony saw that it was her, she smiled and asked, "Are you going too?"
Stella nodded shyly and said, "The dinner party was held by my dad, and I would go there for a while."
So it was Darryl who held the dinner, he was rich.
At this moment, a white imported BMW stopped at the entrance of the TV station, the door opened and it was Darryl who stepped out.
Stella waved her hand, "Dad."
Darryl saw them and came over. He smiled gently at Ebony, "Miss Gibson, we meet again."
Ebony politely nodded to the sponsor and said, "Hello."
Darryl saw that many people came out, so he said, "Shall we go over there first?"
The restaurant where the dinner party was held was a seafood restaurant nearby, not far from the TV station, and it was just a few minutes walks away.
Ebony refused, "I still have to wait for someone, you guys go first."
Darryl looked at her, "Who else are you waiting for?"
Ebony smiled and said, "Someone very important to me..."
As she said, she saw a black commercial vehicle drive over.
Ebony recognized the car and hurriedly said, "He's here!"
She hurriedly ran down and stood on the sidewalk, looking into the car.
After the car stopped, the rear door opened.
Then, a tall man stepped out of the car.
The man was wearing a dark gray thin sweater. On his stern and delicate face, his dark-colored eyes were distant and his lips' color was soft.
Darryl was stunned.
The others around were also stunned.
"Lloyd!"
Someone shouted.
All of a sudden, everyone crowded over and surrounded Lloyd and Ebony.
Ebony hastened to maintain the order, blocking in front of Lloyd and said, "Don't come over, don't come over, you are scaring my savior! Go away, go away!"
Someone asked curiously, "Ebony, what was meant by your savior?"
Ebony yelled back fiercely, "I won't tell you!"
The man, "..."
After that, everyone went to the restaurant together.
On the way, Darryl looked back frequently and saw that Lloyd and Ebony were walking at the back. The two of them were talking about something.
Darryl frowned, deliberately fell behind a few steps, and walked to their side.
Lloyd was talking, and when he saw Darryl coming, he shut up and glanced at him coldly.
Darryl was very friendly and asked with a smile, "Isn't Mr. Vasquez filming? Why did you come here?"
Lloyd ignored him.
Ebony helped Lloyd to answer, "His movie is wrapped up, so he stops by to see me."
"He stops by?" Darryl snorted meaningfully and said, "But this is our internal dinner, is he going too?"
Ebony was afraid that Darryl was going to charge Lloyd, so she quickly said, "I brought my family! He is my family member! It is free of charge for a family member!"
Darryl was stunned, his tone even changed, "Your family member?"
Lloyd chuckled lightly and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it not allowed?"
Darryl only found it difficult to breathe and asked angrily, "Who is he to be considered as your family member?"
Lloyd immediately reached out his hand and covered Ebony's mouth.
But Ebony was one step ahead of him and already said, "Why not? Look at him, he also has two eyes, a nose and a mouth. I also have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. How can there be such a coincidence in the world, he must have inherited it from me, he's my son! Of course, he is my family!"
Darryl, "???"
Lloyd, "..."
Ebony boasted in front of outsiders.
She quietly walked next to Lloyd again and quickly coaxed him, "I didn't mean to take advantage of you, but he wants to collect money... I am wrong, I am wrong, I'm your son, okay?"
Lloyd rubbed his brows, his head hurts a lot.
