Chapter 228 You Are Blacklisted
“Thump, thump, thump–”
In a super luxurious hotel, the a**istant knocked on Mr. Laurier’s room door once again.
A young woman in a bathrobe opened the door, her hair disheveled, her eyes bleary, “Is there something you need? Mr. Laurier is still sleeping.”
The a**istant caught a glimpse of the view beneath the other party’s bathrobe, couldn’t help but swallow, “There’s trouble, wake Mr. Laurier up immediately.”
“Atlantic Studios was acquired.”
“Huh?”
The young woman snapped awake and immediately turned to enter the bedroom.
“Mr. Laurier, the a**istant said that Atlantic Studios has been acquired by someone, and asked you to return to the office immediately.”
Holy shit!
Upon hearing this news, Mr. Laurier sprang up immediately.
Was the company acquired?
This was unbearable.
He was so scared that he didn’t even realize he had put his underwear on backwards.
Rushed to the company in a hurry.
At Atlantic Studios, a poised, young and beautiful female CEO was seated there.
He was accompanied by a group of staff and bodyguards.
Mr. Laurier rushed in hurriedly, looking at the scene in confusion, he asked, “What happened?”
Several heads of the company were standing there, showing utmost respect.
Someone explained to Mr. Laurier, “Mr. Laurier, they claim to have acquired our Atlantic Studios and are now officially announcing their takeover of the entire company.”
“Bullshit, how could that be possible?”
Mr. Laurier couldn’t believe that he was the actual owner of Atlantic Studios, holding 13.2% of the shares, making him the real majority shareholder.
But the company’s staff told him, “It’s true, they have already acquired 31% of the shares in the secondary market.”
“Moreover, our company’s policy is one share, one vote, so they have become the largest shareholder, and you have been relegated to the second largest shareholder.”
“Damn!”
Mr. Laurier was quite upset, casting a glance at the extremely elegant young woman.
“Who were you?”
Paloma was wearing a black suit today, with a white shirt underneath.
The tailor–made suit perfectly accentuated her figure, and coupled with her demeanor, she simply looked like a celestial being.
At that moment, she was holding a teacup, savoring it slowly.
The a**istant next to me, Bertha, was also an unparalleled beauty. Although she didn’t wear makeup, she was far more attractive than those who were overly made up.
Moreover, due to Bertha’s childhood environment, she was like a little tiger.
Bertha stated firmly, “We are Blue Print Investment from Ravero, and we are now officially taking over the management of Atlantic Studios.”
“This was our proof of equity! We held 31% of the shares in Atlantic Studios, truly making us the largest shareholder.”
“Mr. Laurier, please vacate your office immediately.”
Mr. Laurier shuddered, “You guys…”
If the company had been acquired by others, he would not have been so carefree.
Although the company had a board of directors, most matters were decided by the major shareholder.
He glared at Paloma, quite annoyed, “I had no quarrel with you. You were doing well in Ravero, why did you come over to acquire Atlantic Studios?”
Paloma glanced at him lightly, “You’ll have to ask your darling godson.”

Mr. Laurier was taken aback, “Who exactly are you?”
Actually knew about my relationship with Theodore?
It should be known that Theodore had only been back in the country for just over a year, and Mr. Laurier spared no effort, throwing all resources at him, trying to package him up.
Moreover, no one knew about his relationship with Theodore, where did they get the news from?
Of course, he knew that when people referred to Theodore as his godson, it was merely to save his face. In reality, Theodore was his illegitimate son.
Hearing that they were after Theodore, Mr. Laurier understood instantly.
With a heart as dead as ashes, he asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Paloma said lightly, “We just wanted to take over the company. As for your position in the company, it would depend on your attitude.”
“Could… could you spare Theodore? He’s just a child.”
Paloma said, “What are you talking about? We don’t want his life.”
“At worst, just ban it!”
Thud!
Mr. Laurier plopped down on the ground.
You should know that although he had many women, he only had this
one son.
All three children his wife gave birth to were daughters. At the age of
forty, he decided to have a mistress to bear him a son.
Indeed, Theodore’s mother was also a steam engine, conceiving a boy on her first pregnancy.
Mr. Laurier sent her abroad directly, and twenty years later, Theodore returned, transformed and packaged by him into a star.
You should know that all the artists under its banner had signed long- term contracts, and there were huge penalties for breach of contract.
This was the reason why many people didn’t dare to fight back after being sidelined.
Mr. Laurier had never imagined that this day would come. In his mind, as long as he was there, what did rules matter?
Everything could be changed!
But now…
It was no longer his turn to speak.
Ban Theodore!
Theodore was still showing off in the film and television city.
He said to Eden, “Eden, you still have time to change your mind now. Otherwise, once I return to the company and report the situation to the higher–ups, things won’t be so easy to handle.”
“If you had apologized to me now, respectfully invited me back to the erew, I might have given you some face. Otherwise…”
Having a young, inexperienced guy shit on him, Eden was not pleased
either.
Helpless!
He was not yet the most famous director in the circle, in the entire industry, he was at best considered a second–rate director.
They had connections, offended themselves, yet there were still countless directors inviting them to act in their films.
The a**istant answered a phone call, “The company wants you to come back immediately!”
Theodore laughed triumphantly, “Hmph! You’ll see!”
The company had sent me back, it must have been an order from Mr. Laurier.
Éden had offended himself and had no good fruits to eat.
Because in this circle, Atlantic Studios was very influential.
Watching him leave, Eden cursed angrily, “I don’t give a damn if I never make another movie in my life, what can you do to me?”
“A petty person in power!”
Theodore returned to Atlantic Studios in a Rolls–Royce.
The atmosphere in the company was off, everyone was walking on eggshells.
The receptionist led him to the conference room. After Theodore entered, he saw two beautiful women, Paloma and Bertha.
“Huh? There’s a new person at the company again!”
“These two newcomers were so beautiful!”
Mr. Laurier glared at him fiercely, “Shut up!”
Paloma lifted her gaze, her eyes piercing, “You are Theodore?”
“Exactly!”
“We will be in the same company in the future, I will have your back.”
Theodore hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation yet.
Paloma said coldly to Rebecca, “I’m sorry, you’ve been blacklisted!”
“Take back all his benefits! Let him go help in logistics!”
“Huh?”
Theodore stared blankly at Mr. Laurier, who was disheveled and grim- faced, bellowed, “Apologize to Ms. Frazier immediately!”
“Why?”
Theodore had not understood up until now.
Someone nearby explained, “The company was acquired by Blue Print Investment, and all your benefits were revoked.”
“Oh my God!”
Theodore suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if the whole world had collapsed.
He shouted at Mr. Laurier, “I don’t want it, I don’t want it!”
Then he hugged Mr. Laurier’s thigh again, “Why? Why?”
“You promised my mom, you said you would take care of me!”
“Why?”
