Chapter 517: Chapter 517: After 3 Cups, the Past Will Never Be Seen Again
Summer Sutton stared blankly at him as he came closer, her facial expression slowly freezing.
The fact that Adrian Walyon would appear here was something she hadn’t anticipated before coming tonight.
Ariella Sawyer had originally been sitting beside Summer Sutton but, upon seeing Adrian Walyon arrive, she dutifully vacated the spot and chose another empty seat.
Adrian Walyon seemed to curve his lips coldly, walking over slowly and then sitting beside Summer Sutton.
The people at the table were actually unaware of the relationship between Summer Sutton and Adrian Walyon, but the way Adrian looked at Summer Sutton caused everyone to see the underlying tension.
Others at the table tacitly understood but didn’t show it; instead, they pretended ignorance to introduce Adrian Walyon.
"Ariella, this is Young Master Walyon, do you know Morningview Group? Young Master Walyon founded it. He’s been investing in the film industry domestically for several years now, you might need his help with new films in the future."
"Young Master Walyon, this is Ariella Sawyer, an artist from Royal Delight. Ariella’s very promising right now; the films she’s been involved in over the past few years have sold quite well."
"This is Miss Sutton, a friend of Little Bell."
Adrian Walyon responded with a faint "Mm," and took a sip of tea he was holding lightly.
Summer Sutton covertly glanced towards him out of the corner of her eye, silently watching him.
During the month he was gone, Summer Sutton hadn’t seen the slightest bit of news about him.
She even thought, could it be like the past year, where when he wanted to be quiet, he disappeared for a whole year, or even longer.
Adrian Walyon seemed not to notice her gaze, turning his head to chat with the director.
"Who are in the lineup for this film?"
"The lineup I’ve currently drafted consists only of domestic actors with considerable acting skills, not a single popular celebrity was used. For the special effects, we plan to hire Hollywood professional teams abroad, aiming to turn this movie into a Hollywood-level blockbuster."
"Sounds good." Adrian replied softly, before chatting with others at the table.
As he spoke, his tone was slow, like a gentle breeze blowing through, making people feel extremely comfortable.
In domestic gatherings, drinking alcohol is unavoidable.
Minutes after Adrian Walyon sat down, each person at the table toasted to him.
He didn’t refuse, drank it all down as each person toasted him.
After everyone had toasted, the director nudged Ariella Sawyer.
"Young Master Walyon, you’ve helped me quite a lot. I know your main purpose wasn’t helping me but being unable to refuse someone, yet regardless, you’ve indeed helped me much and I’m really grateful. I toast to you!"
Ariella Sawyer, being a very straightforward girl, downed the cup of wine in one swift motion.
After drinking, she pulled up Summer Sutton beside her, urging her to toast, "Summer should toast as well!"
Summer Sutton, "..."
Summer Sutton froze for quite a while after her words, merely standing still.
Adrian Walyon raised his eyebrows, seeming to still be expecting her drink.
Summer Sutton remained silent for a while after Ariella Sawyer’s words, picking up the wine glass.
"I’ll also toast Mr. Walyon!" She drank it all at once, the bitter taste caused her to furrow her eyebrows slightly, "The first glass, I toast Mr. Walyon’s past care!"
She placed the wine glass on the table with a thud and refilled it, "The second glass, I toast every time Mr. Walyon showed up when I needed it."
After drinking it all at once, she refilled the glass again, "The third glass, I toast the past two years."
