Chapter 1241
Augustine continued. âThere are plenty of fish in the sea. If this guy isnât the right one, let him go. You should happily meet new people. Youâll definitely find someone more
suitable.â
Cornelia was taken aback by his words and didnât know how to respond
Abigail, a cheerful girl, squeezed in and laughed, âGrandpa Augustine, keep me in mind when youâre setting Cornelia up. I need a boyfriend too.â
Both Abigail and Zack had seen Augustineâs picture in the news, and since Cornelia called him Grandpa Augustine, they knew this was the Augustine of the Duran family He was also the grandfather Cornelia had recently met
Augustine smiled kindly. âYouâre Abigail, right? And this is Zack, correct?â
âGrandpa Augustine, you know us? Abigail was pleasantly surprised.
Augustine said, âAfter Cornelia returned to Riverton, I visited Rosenberg I know you three grew up together and are very close. Your parents, hearing I was Corneliaâs grandfather, invited me for a drinkâ
âReally?â Abigail asked.
âAbsolutely Roy and Allen are very welcoming, but they canât hold their alcohol. When theyâre drunk, theyâre real chatterboxes. I could barely keep up.â Augustine chuckled
Zack nodded in agreement, âYeah, especially my dad Roy. Once he gets drunk, heâs like a broken faucet, canât stop talkingâ
Augustine burst into laughter, âExactly! I didnât want to listen anymore, but they just kept goingâ
âHa ha, I feel that every time I visit homeâ Zack seemed to have met his match and started to open up.
The three of them chatted happily, completely ignoring Cornelia, the person in question. It seemed she was overthinking. Augustine was more openâminded about the divorce. While talking, they reached the topic of the studio. Augustine suggested visiting their studio, and Zack immediately agreed.
So, the four of them went back to the studio in Zackâs car. Once back at the studio, Zack and Abigail showed Augustine around and enthusiastically introduced him to their workspace. Meanwhile, Cornelia was in her office, focused on her comics, the sound of their laughter echoing in her ears.
Zackâs laughter was particularly loud, so loud that Cornelia could hear it clearly in her office, âGrandpa Augustine, are you really considering investing in our studio?â
âI donât just want to invest. I heard about your business model and noticed you have your own highâquality IP but no development department. You sell the rights to anime and films to others, and they make the big bucks while you only get a small copyright fee. Augustine replied.
Abigail whispered, âGrandpa Augustine, that âsmall copyright feeâ is already a lot for us. Plus, Cornelia said we need steady growth, not quick profits.â
Augustine chuckled, âBusiness requires boldness. If everyone thought like you, when would you ever make money? I know a professional copyright incubation team. If you agree, they can help you anytime.â
âReally?â Zack was excited.
Cornelia couldnât take it anymore, âGrandpa Augustine, could you please not interfere with our studio? I know you mean well, but our studio is just this size. Overâpromotion isnât goodâ
âYeah, Nellyâs right. Weâll listen to Nellyâ Augustine immediately changed his tune.
Zack and Abigail were speechless Augustine just said something entirely different one second ago.
Augustine walked over to Cornelia and happily said, âNelly, Iâve been following your comics recently. Theyâre really good.â
