Chapter 972 -972: Losing the 50 Million Dollar Investment
Xaviera Evans didnât even give her a glance, and casually said, âMiss Hughes, you should know that Iâm the chief designer of Glaze, and my designs can bring substantial revenue to Glaze. Although Iâm not very satisfied with this dress, even so, it can bring at least 50 million dollars of profit to Glaze. If you want to buy this design, you need to compensate us for our losses. Otherwise, why should I sell it to you?â
People nodded unanimously, suddenly feeling that Xavieraâs asking price was not too high.
Buck Drew stood up, âThatâs right, any design from Lohill can bring huge profits to Glaze, and 50 million dollars is nothing. Miss Hughes, if youâre willing to buy, then pay the money. If not, then apologize publicly. Itâs your choice.â
Eve Dolemanâs face turned red with anger. What kind of option was that? Spend 50 million dollars for a piece of paper? She wasnât stupid! She didnât expect this designer to be so greedy, asking for 50 million dollars off the bat, with no room for negotiation.
âSince Miss Hughes doesnât want to apologize or pay, donât blame me for being impolite,â Elijah Flack said coldly, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness.
Eve Dolemanâs face turned pale, and the director hung his head in embarrassment, cursing both Eve and Xaviera in his heart. Neither woman was willing to give in, and the variety show couldnât continue recording. On one side were the Flack family and Drew; on the other side were the investors. He couldnât afford to offend anyone, so he was stuck in an awkward position.
Eve Doleman trembled with fear, but after careful thought, the designer was not a biological daughter of the Flack family, and she was from the Hughes family. Why would the Flack family offend the Hughes family for an unrelated person? Elijah Flack just made an offhand remark. Could he really do anything to her?
Her face eased a bit, and she spoke haughtily, âItâs not that I donât want to reconcile, but Miss Evans has no sincerity. She asked for 50 million dollars right away. So forget it. Iâll quit the variety show.â
With that, Eve Doleman and Jacqueline Bryan turned to leave.
âMiss Hughes, since itâs like this, letâs wait and see who is stronger between the Hughes and Flack families!â Elijah Flack said in a lighthearted manner, but his body was filled with a strong killing intent.
No! That canât be! Elijah Flack couldnât possibly hurt her for someone unrelated. Moreover, suing her for plagiarism would require legal proceedings. Why would Elijah Flack waste his precious time for a designer?
Eve Dolemanâs breathing became erratic, and cold sweat appeared on her back. She gritted her teeth and left as if escaping.
There was a moment of silence at the recording site. The directorâs cell phone suddenly rang. It was a message from the investor, who clearly stated that if Eve Doleman withdrew, he would withdraw his funds.
The director looked embarrassed and helpless, turning to Elijah Flack, âMr. Flack, this⊠â
Without the 50 million dollars investment, shouldnât the Flack family take responsibility? After all, it was because of this designer that all these things happened!
Elijah Flack glanced at him coldly and said slowly, âDirector Seymer, donât forget your promise. I hope to see you apologize publicly online today.â
After saying that, Elijah Flack and his group left, leaving the program crew looking at each other.

At this time, in the directorâs office, Reed Bruce was timidly entertaining Caleb Mamet, âMr. Caleb Mamet, I assure you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and deal with the corrupt personnel!â
Reed Bruce never expected that the girl who saved his daughter was actually Caleb Mametâs wife! So, today, Caleb Mamet came directly to him. When Reed Bruce saw Caleb Mamet, he was sweating nervously, fearing that he would get angry and overturn the entire TV station.
Hearing about what happened at the scene, Reed Bruce immediately ordered the cancellation of the 50 million dollars investment. It didnât matter whether Eve participated or not; he absolutely wouldnât allow anyone to manipulate the competition results behind the scenes. Those who helped Eve cheat secretly were also punished, just hoping that Caleb Mamet wouldnât blame him.
Caleb Mamet leaned lazily on the couch, his slender fingers tapping the table lightly, âWhoâs the person who invested 50 million dollars?â
âItâsâŠthe young master of Lokioâs âBloom Foodâ.â
Caleb Mamet stopped his movements, his voice cold but frightening, âThose who stole my wifeâs design and the producer who helped Eve Doleman cover up the truth, that should all be his doing, right?â
Reed Bruce nodded, âActually, the performance of Bloom Food has been getting worse and worse in recent years, but their young master still spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun. To help Eve Doleman, he spent 50 million dollars without considering the bigger picture. Heâs just a playboy.â
