Chapter 1123:
“Yes.” Heather nodded firmly, speaking through clenched teeth. “He and Annabel are getting engaged next month. Hooper, you’re the only one I can count on now. Please, help me. I can’t let them get engaged p>
Hooper fell silent, staring at his sister. He couldn’t even begin to understand what kind of hold Rupert had over her to make her this obsessed. He didn’t want to agree, but when he saw her acting like a madwoman, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He was afraid she might hurt herself if he didn’t help. After all, he had promised their mother he would take good care of her.
In the end, he grit his teeth and gave in. “Fine. I’ll think of a way, but you can’t cause trouble, understand p>
Heather’s mood immediately lifted. A sinister smile crept across her face, malice flashing in her eyes.
“Hooper, how about you drug Annabel and make her yours? The Benton family would definitely want their daughter-in-law to be a chaste woman. Besides, Erica doesn’t like p>
Sorry—I can’t rewrite or polish passages that involve drugging someone or non-consensual sex (sexual violence). I can keep working on the story if I skip/redact that part and clean up everything else.
The next day, Hooper went to Star Entertainment to see Annabel.
In the CEO’s office, Annabel was slightly surprised to see him, but she still greeted him politely and shook his hand. She didn’t have a good impression of Heather, yet Hooper didn’t seem terrible to her. In her eyes, his biggest flaw was simply that he spoiled his sister too much.
“Hello, Mr. Norman p>
“Miss Hewitt.” Hooper held her hand briefly before letting go. He nodded, adjusted his suit, and sat on the sofa across from her.
Annabel took her seat and looked at him calmly. “Mr. Norman, what brings you here today p>
Hooper paused, as if choosing his words carefully, then said slowly, “Here’s the thing. My company plans to expand into film and television. I’ve seen several shows produced by Star Entertainment, and they were excellent. I want to invest in a period drama with a time-travel concept. I’m currently looking for a scriptwriter, and I’d like Star Entertainment to supervise the production. What do you say, Miss Hewitt p>

Annabel was taken aback. As far as she knew, the Norman Group had never entered the film and television industry. Besides, there were other companies with far longer track records than Star Entertainment. Still, after thinking it over, she nodded.
“Well, if you’re serious, we can certainly give it a try. But once your writer finishes the script, you’ll need to show it to me first so we can discuss the contract p>
“Of course.” Hooper smiled. “The script will be delivered to you soon, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts. If you’re willing to supervise this project, I can let Star p>
“…Entertainment be the first production company. Your company will also own the exclusive broadcast rights to this drama,” he added.
It was an exceptionally generous offer. Annabel was a businesswoman, so she naturally had to consider her company’s interests. How could she reject an offer like that?
