At this moment, Alice Turner walked over with a glass of plain water in her hand. She happened to hear Easton Holmes' question to Lily Turner. Puzzled, she furrowed her pretty eyebrows, glanced at Lily Turner, who looked quite odd, and then walked up to Easton Holmes with the water in her hand.
"Hello! Please, have some water!"
Alice Turner handed the freshly poured plain water to Easton Holmes, who accepted it without hesitation, reaching out to take the water from Alice Turner. As he took it, he didn't forget to thank her, "Thank you!"
Seeing that Easton Holmes not only showed no intention of leaving but also looked ready to settle in for the long haul, Lily Turner felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"Sis! I feel like eating wontons from that Li's place. Could you buy me a bowl?" Unable to send this man away, she decided to send her sister instead. She just couldn't let these two stay here together; she was too worried.
"Alright! I'll go buy it for you now." Having been Lily Turner's sister for over ten years, Alice Turner could easily see through Lily Turner's little schemes. She reached out and pinched Lily Turner's nose, "You're such a little foodie!"
Lily Turner moved Alice Turner's hand away from her nose and simultaneously pushed Alice Turner towards the door, "Sis! Hurry and get it for me. I'm in a rush to eat right now."
She didn't actually want to eat anything at the moment. Right now, all she wanted was to quickly send her sister away so she could unabashedly send this suddenly appearing man out as well.
"Got it."
Alice Turner didn't expose Lily Turner's little scheme. After courteously greeting Easton Holmes, she left the hospital room.
Bam!
Hearing the door close, Lily Turner let out a long sigh of relief. Once she was sure that Alice Turner had left, she turned back to Easton Holmes without any unnecessary preamble and directly asked, "Mr. Holmes! Why did you invest in 'Love on the Road'?"
She didn't ask if the Luke Crowe who invested in the film was under him, but directly asked why he invested in the film she starred in. This was a rare moment of boldness and vanity for her.
"Because I saw the great financial potential of the film 'Love on the Road'." Easton Holmes didn't hide the matter, openly acknowledging the film investment. He even said he saw the financial potential in 'Love on the Road'. Yes, he said financial potential, not future potential.
Hearing this, Lily Turner furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "Mr. Holmes! What do you actually do?"
What exactly does this man do? One moment he's called the boss, the next he's referred to as a leader, and now he appears to be a cunning businessman.
Lily Turner was thoroughly confused by the man in front of her. No matter how hard she tried to clear her vision, she couldn't see through the true nature of the person before her. This man was like fog, like rain, and like the wind.
"I'm a profit-driven businessman."
Easton Holmes said it with utmost seriousness, without a trace of jest. This left Lily Turner even more bewildered, her brow furrowing even deeper.
"Aren't you a soldier? How come you've turned into a businessman now?" Lily Turner voiced her confusion, staring unblinkingly into Easton Holmes' eyes. She wanted to find some clue from his eyes, but he hid it too well, and she discovered nothing.
