Chapter 199
Charles held the cup by its handle, his slender fingers täpping lightly on its surface. âSay what you
need to say,â he urged.
Xavier felt a bit awkward but had no choice but to continue, âWinter has been working in the
entertainment industry, which is filled with all sorts of people. This recent incident has blown up, and
Winter is the biggest victim. She⦠Sheâs being attacked online.â
âAnd how does that concem me? Get to the point, Charles said, setting down his cup and rubbing
his temples.
Xavier could tell that Charles was growing impatient. âI know you own a film company, Uncle. I was
hoping you could help Winter. Sheâs being targeted right now, and her career might be over.â
Charles raised an eyebrow. âSo, you want me to help? You shouldâve said so earlier.â He stood up
and pressed the intercom button. âRonald, come in.â
Ronald quickly responded to the summon, knocking and entering the room. âMr. Hoffman, you
needed something?â he asked, glancing at Xavier and giving a slight nod.
Xavier nodded back with a polite smile,
Charles motioned with his hand. âI remember owning a film company, right?â
Ronald was momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered. âYes, Mr. Hoffman. You left it under my
management. What would you like to do with it?â
âXavier, tell Ronald what you need. Heâs my assistant and manages that company. Heâll know what
to do better than I would,â Charles said, tapping his fingers on the desk. âI have other work to attend
to. Ronald will handle everything for you.â
Xavier felt a wave of relief upon realizing that Charles was agreeing to help. He glanced at Ronald,
surprised that a mere assistant had the authority to manage an entire company. âThank you,
Uncle.â
âMm.â Charles waved him off, signaling for Ronald to take him out.
Ronald smiled slightly. âMr. Harris, please come with me.â
Ronald led Xavier to the meeting room and had Ida bring in a cup of coffee. Xavierâs expression
stiffened at the sight of the coffee. Having just had a cup earlier, he was not thrilled about another
drink. âThank you, Mr. Wells,â he said, trying to be polite.
âItâs no trouble. Since Mr. Hoffman gave the instructions, Iâll handle it. Can you explain the specifics
of what you need?â Ronald asked.
Xavier repeated his prepared speech, explaining Winterâs situation and his hopes for her recovery. âI
need advice on how to handle this.â
Ronald responded confidently, âThatâs simple. Our film company is currently preparing a new TV
show. I was about to ask Mr. Hoffman about investing in it. The lead roles have been cast, but the
second female Head is still open. If Ms. Shaw is interested, she can audition for it. Of course, the
audition will only be a
formality. The role be hers.

Ronald then called Ida to bring the film companyâs project files and handed the relevant details to
Xavier.â Take a look. If Ms. Shaw agrees, we can finalize it.â
Xavier frowned, not familiar with the entertainment industry. He had only heard about it from Winter
occasionally, so he could not give Ronald an immediate answer.
