Chapter 143 It’s My Responsibility
Curtis Hart didn’t take Osman Swift’s threat seriously at all.
He chuckled lightly and said, “Osman, you know as well as I do that a partnership between your sister and Mystic Entertainment Inc. would be fantastic. If she wants it, Mystic Entertainment is the best choice. I’m just offering this olive branch early. Why not make it happen?”
Osman almost laughed out of anger at Curtis’s words..
He had never met someone so shameless!
What did he mean by Mystic Entertainment being the best choice?
Did he think the Swift family couldn’t start their own film company if they wanted to?
He really couldn’t stand businessmen like Curtis
Chapter unlocked!
Osman said, “Curtis, taking shortcuts isn’t a good thing. I advise you not to be so naive.”
Curtis felt frustrated with Osman’s stubborn attitude.
If this matter didn’t involve Sylvia Grant, he would have used a more straightforward approach.
But for Sylvia’s sake, he had to compromise again and again.
Osman noticed this too. Curtis’s shameless request was not his usual style.
Suddenly, Osman thought of something and looked at Curtis with a deeper meaning in his
eyes.
Osman licked his cheek and suddenly asked, “Curtis, why don’t you tell me what the lady causing the trouble means to you? Maybe I wouldn’t mind doing you a favor and helping you solve this.”
Curtis’s gaze turned deep and dark.
Osman was clearly setting a trap.

Curtis chuckled and said, “Why make it so complicated? With your abilities, you must have known everything from the moment we stepped in here.”
“There’s only so much one can find out,” Osman said. “I see that things between you and Miss Grant aren’t that simple.”
Curtis remained silent, his eyes dark as he looked at Osman, not saying a word about his relationship with Sylvia.
Osman found Curtis’s reaction more interesting.
It was the first time he had seen Curtis so concerned about a woman.
Believing their relationship was simple would be foolish.
His gaze fell on Emilio Wilson, still lying on the ground. After a long pause, he laughed lightly and said, “The Hart family owes the Swift family a favor. Do you agree?”
The implication was clear. If Curtis wanted to use his sister to settle this, he was dreaming.
Osman not only wouldn’t help but might even make things worse.
However, if the Hart family owed the Swift family a favor, that was a different story.
Curtis’s gaze was deep. He knew Osman was a tough nut to crack.
If the Hart family owed the Swift family, repaying it might drag the Hart family into a bottomless pit.
Osman had thought up a clever plan. But after a long silence, Curtis made a decision.
“Alright, I agree,” Curtis said.
Osman smiled more meaningfully, raising his eyebrows and saying, “Curtis, you never cease to amaze me.”
To promise such a big favor for a woman–if word got out, it would shock the entire wealthy family circle.
Ignoring the deeper meaning in Osman’s words, Curtis said, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”
With that, Curtis returned to the private room.

Osman watched the closed door, his lips curling into a smile. He was really curious about what magic that woman had to make Curtis go to such lengths..
Inside the private room, Sylvia had been sitting bored for a while.
She had tried peeking out but couldn’t see anything, so she closed the door and sat in the chair waiting for Curtis.
When he returned, she asked, “Is it settled?”
“Of course,” Curtis smiled, looking relaxed and calm, not at all like he had just faced off with Osman. “Don’t worry. It was his own fault and he can’t pin anything on you.”
Hearing this, Sylvia laughed.
She propped her chin on her hand and said, “Mr. Hart, do you think I’m scared?”
Curtis glanced at her and said, “Not really. You don’t seem like someone who gets scared.”
Someone scared wouldn’t have beaten a man to such a state.
Emilio’s condition made it clear how hard Sylvia had hit him.
Sylvia said, “I could have handled it myself.”
She really wasn’t afraid of anything. If she couldn’t handle it, there was always Sofia Schneider.
But she hadn’t expected Curtis to take on the responsibility himself.
Curtis said, “I brought you here, so it’s my responsibility to handle this. It’s settled now, so don’t think about it anymore.”
Sylvia shrugged and didn’t say anything more.
She just found it strange that Curtis, who didn’t seem like the type, went to such lengths for her.
She was just a money–maker for him, yet he seemed to care about her.
Deciding not to dwell on it, Curtis hadn’t forgotten the main reason he brought Sylvia here.

They hadn’t ordered food yet, so he called for the waiter.
Infinity Isle’s dishes had strange names that gave no clue about the food.

Each dish was named after a place, representing the signature dish of a local restaurant.
For example, a dish called Dogwood represented the signature roasted potato ribs of a homestyle restaurant on Dogwood Avenue.
Curtis suddenly thought of something. Osman’s mother was from the southwest, where there was a small town called Infinity Isle.
Clearly, the restaurant’s name was Osman’s way of honoring his mother.
Most people didn’t know this and saw it as a gimmick.
Sylvia, unaware of the town’s name and the meaning behind the dish names, commented on each dish she tried.
“The food’s great, but the names are weird,” she said.
