Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: I’ll Do It For Her
The broker finished speaking and led nine people away.
John Lynch glanced one last time in Hannah’s direction.
The door to the rest area had already been closed.
It coldly blocked his view.

At the banquet.
The host of this banquet had deep pockets, having invested twice as much money as the previous year.
They even specifically arranged seats for assistants and agents.
Of course, not everyone was privileged enough to bring agents and assistants into the venue.
Hannah’s seat was arranged right in the center.
The others at her table were almost all big players in film investment within the industry, each of whom people were eager to indulge.
Of course, they seemed somewhat less significant in front of Hannah.
Or more precisely, in front of Arnold Simmons...
The investors knew Hannah’s identity, and they had specifically chosen this seat for her today just to get closer to her.
After all, Arnold Simmons’s business empire was huge, and just the film company he had set up abroad for Hannah alone was enough to make others envy.
Being able to carve out a niche market for Chinese-language films abroad was enough to prove Arnold’s power.
However, there were also acquaintances among the people at the table.
For example...
"Hannah, long time no see."
Jackie Qualls took his seat, greeted the others at the table with a dignified yet approachable attitude,
and then turned to speak with Hannah.
Over the years, he had done very well in the circle of producers; his investments in several films had been huge successes, multiplying his funds by more than tenfold.
Compared to the past, when he was just an actor crowned with a film emperor title, he now truly had a voice in the circle.
The other investors at the table were also willing to give him some respect.
Following the sound, Hannah met the man’s warm, smiling eyes and nodded in return,
her attitude appearing somewhat cold.
Jackie, however, didn’t mind and smiled as he looked at Hannah’s increasingly fair face under the light.
Initially, the atmosphere at the table was harmonious.
Probably someone had inquired about Hannah beforehand and chose only pleasant things to say.
It was somewhat reminiscent of King Zhou of Shang exhausting all his tricks just to see Baosi smile.
A beautiful face never tires the beholder, just as pleasing words never cease to delight.
Hannah was quite pleased, her eyes lowering as she chuckled softly, her smile radiant and her laughter melodious.
The others hesitated for a moment, then joined in the laughter, and someone took the opportunity to pass her a glass of wine.
But before it reached Hannah, it was intercepted.
Jackie said with a light smile, "I’ll drink this cup for her."
The wine passer was also stunned, instinctively frowned, just about to show displeasure, when someone whispered something to him.
The man’s expression changed, and he looked again at Hannah.
It was cold outside the venue, but somewhat stuffy inside.
Hannah lifted her hand to fan herself, her gaze lazily resting on Jackie as she crooked her lips and smiled, "If Mr. Qualls wants to drink, let him drink."
The man no longer said anything and handed the wine glass to Jackie Qualls.
In the distance, Jack Stewart, who was about to stand up, saw this scene and sat back down.
A man regretful in his heart feels that whatever his beloved gives is a blessing.
It wasn’t until Jackie Qualls had several glasses of wine that the last person at the table arrived belatedly.
Apparently having run all the way, Louis Snyder arrived still catching his breath, his coat draped over his arm, his forehead still covered in sweat.
In the past year, Louis Snyder, utilizing the Yarn Family’s status, had fared very well both in the film industry and within the Yarn Family’s company.
