The one calling Freya Yeager was the company boss, Robert Xander. Robert brought good news to her and Lily Turner: the film's funding issue had been resolved, and he informed them that they could continue working.
"Lily! The film's funding is sorted out. You can continue shooting once you recover." After hanging up with Robert Xander, Freya was quick to share the good news with Lily, who was drinking water at the time.
While Freya Yeager was on the call with the boss, Lily Turner had been sitting nearby and clearly heard the entire conversation.
What puzzled her now was how exactly the film's funding was resolved. She didn't believe Henry Thompson had changed his mind. He and that woman were still waiting to see her fail.
"The funding is resolved? Who sorted it out?" She was eager to know which bigwig had saved the film and saved her from being ridiculed by that couple.
The film could resume shooting now, which made Freya Yeager especially happy, not just for herself but also for Lily Turner. "The boss said it was someone named Luke Crowe, and suddenly..."
"Luke Crowe?!" Lily Turner blurted out in surprise upon hearing the name.
Seeing this reaction, Freya sensed something unusual, "Do you know someone named Luke Crowe?"
She must know him; otherwise, why would she react this way?
"I do know a Luke Crowe, but it couldn't be him. He's just an ordinary employee at a company." Lily was unsure if this Luke Crowe was the same one she knew. Regardless, she couldn't let Freya or others find out what happened between her and Easton Holmes.
She thought it was likely not the Luke Crowe she knew. If that man wanted to help her, he would have approached her about the house documents.
At first, Freya Yeager thought Lily was deliberately denying it, but seeing Lily speak so firmly, it didn't seem like she was lying, so she believed what Lily said. "I suppose this Luke Crowe isn't the one you know. The boss said this Luke Crowe invested 200 million."
"How much?"
Lily Turner heard what Freya Yeager said, and she heard it quite clearly. It was this clarity that led to her shocked reaction.
200 million?!
This amount far exceeded the previous investment of 150 million made by Henry Thompson. The money came at such a timely coincidence, but isn't it a bit too much?
"You didn't hear wrong. It really is 200 million RMB!"
Freya Yeager even raised her hand to gesture to Lily Turner, just to ensure she heard correctly.
Now, Lily Turner leaned more towards believing that this Luke Crowe was not the one she knew. Two hundred million — that's no small figure. That house was valuable, but not valuable enough to justify this, especially since she didn't acquire it rightfully.
"Lily! Are you sure this Luke Crowe isn't the one you know?" Freya Yeager suddenly remembered what Robert Xander mentioned earlier, which made her doubt what Lily had just said. "The boss said that the investor added a condition to the contract, which was to increase your current salary by an additional ten percent."
"An additional ten percent to my salary?" Hearing this, Lily Turner also started having doubts.
