His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1526  Meeting Director Jabar Wilkins (Part I)

Jin Liwei sighed at the sudden appearance of his AI cat son.

Iris also had no idea when Bacon had acquired the function of being summoned by the keyword "extort" and other words with similar meanings. She certainly wasn't the one who programmed the function herself.

The only possibility was that Bacon had been learning bad things at Shadow Winds again. She had already expected this when she allowed Bacon to join his Uncle Zihao, but she still couldn't help but worry.

Unlike Ketchup which she painstakingly created herself over two lifetimes, Bacon was an AI that she created from the remnants of a corrupted computer virus program. His nature was inherently destructive.

"Bacon, you're not busy?" Iris asked.

The pure black cat swished his fluffy tail behind him. "Please do not worry, Mother. No matter how busy Bacon is, Bacon will always have time to spend with our family because Bacon is a classy panther."

"What panther? Bacon is clearly a little kitty just like the cute and mighty Ketchup! Right, Mommy and Daddy? Meow~" Without changing his bored expression, Bacon raised a paw and moved to kick his sister before their parents could react. This time, however, Ketchup wasn't easy to bully. Ketchup nimbly dodged and pounced at her brother.

The two AI cats started wrestling.

Iris and Jin Liwei didn't find anything wrong with it. They thought that the siblings were just being affectionate with each other by play-fighting just like normal cats. They had forgotten that Ketchup and Bacon weren't actual cats but AI entities instead.

"Ketchup, don't forget to keep an eye on those uncles and grandpas, okay?" Jin Liwei reminded his AI cat daughter.

"Okey dokey, Daddy!" Ketchup replied while performing some impressive cat kung fu against her brother. "The cute and mighty Ketchup will keep an eye of a white tigress on those uncles and grandpas who doubted Mommy! Hmph hmph! Ketchup will spread their stinky secrets to the whole wide world if they betray Mommy's trust. Mreow!!!"

Bacon dodged and pinned his sister to the virtual ground. "Father, can Bacon be the one to extort those blind old men?"

Ketchup couldn't escape. It was clear that she lost this round. She cried pitifully.

"Alright, Bacon," Jin Liwei said with a sigh. "Release your big sister."

Bacon obeyed with great reluctance. "Father, what about Bacon's request?"

"Fine," Jin Liwei said. "But only extort if those people violated their promise to your mom. Don't do anything before then."

Bacon's expression remained bored, but his tail told another story. It rotated so quickly that only a blur could be seen. Extorting money from people excited him.

"Cooperate with your Big Sister Ketchup," Jin Liwei added. "Once she informs us that someone violated their promise to your mom, then you can do your thing."

"Yes, Father. Bacon understands."

"Okey dokey, Daddy! Meow~"

"Yes, Father. Bacon understands."

"Okey dokey, Daddy! Meow~"

After speaking to their two AI cat children, Iris and Jin Liwei left the private showroom and returned to the party outside.

Iris glanced at Grandpa Lu who was now back with his group of friends. They nodded at her with polite smiles, acting as if they hadn't just been blackmailed by Iris with their deepest and darkest secrets.

Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier they got.

They could act as if nothing was wrong.

This suited Iris perfectly. She didn't want anything ruining Liberté's launch party. She and Jin Liwei returned to walking around the place to chat with the guests.

Iris noticed a hot and fervent gaze on her. She turned and saw the nerdy tech billionaire staring at her with shining, red eyes. His gaze was similar to how the Black Stars looked at her, so she only smiled at him before chatting with a guest.

Jin Liwei, however, didn't appreciate the other man's sticky eyes on his wife. He sent him a cold and threatening glare.

The nerdy tech billionaire quickly realized his bad behaviour and hurriedly gave Jin Liwei an apologetic head bow before avoiding the couple with his eyes. After confirming that Iris Long was Drakon and that she was his idol Fantom's one and only disciple, the nerdy tech billionaire had now transferred his admiration from Fantom to Iris Long. He couldn't stop himself from fanboying.

"What's wrong?" Iris asked her husband.

Jin Liwei moved his eyes away from the other man and smiled at his wife. "Nothing, love. Are you thirsty?"

"A little."

"Stay here. I'll get you a drink."

"Thanks, darling."

Jin Liwei left and headed to the refreshments area. Iris finished chatting with another guest when a tall man approached her.

"Hello, Iris," the man greeted her with a big smile while extending a hand toward her.

"Hello, Director Wilkins." Iris recognized the American man from the guest list she had memorized from the day before. She shook his hand and smiled at him.

Only last-minute plus-one guests like Sheikha Amira flew past her recognition because they weren't included in the original guest list in the first place. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Oh, you know me?" Director Wilkins asked.

"You're a famous Hollywood film director, so of course I recognize you," she replied with a smile.

The director chuckled.

Iris added, "And I'm the one who personally put your name on the guest list. My music mentor mentioned that I should invite you. I didn't expect that you would accept my perfumery's invitation, so thank you very much for attending today."

"Your music mentor is Enrique, right?"

She nodded.

The director's expression became more open. "Enrique is one of my long-time friends in Hollywood. A real friend. We've worked together many times. His film scores always elevate my films to the next level."

"Yes, Teacher Enrique has always been amazing."

Director Wilkins stared at Iris for a few long moments. She remained calm and smiled at him, not at all bothered by his direct scrutinizing eyes on her.

This, however, was the scene that Jin Liwei saw when he returned with drinks in his hands.

Who was that huge, dark man glaring at his wife?

He immediately ran back and stood in front of his wife, protecting her behind him.
