Chapter 1197: Chapter 1194: The Ten Thousand-Year-Old Iron Tree Actually Bloomed

"Tell me what he likes, or else I might pick a gift he doesn’t like."

"You don’t need to worry about the gift, I’ll take care of it."

"But I want to choose something myself." Joanna looked at the man’s unhappy expression and thought Ashton must be jealous again. She helplessly and amusedly shook his arm and said, "Don’t be upset. I just want to thank him for giving me the role of Female Lead 1. If it were someone else, I’d do the same."

Ashton firmly pressed his lips together and said nothing.

Joanna sighed and let go of his hand: "Alright, if you won’t tell me, I’ll choose myself. Anyway, I have to choose the gift for Mr. White myself."

Ashton decided that once Joanna finished filming with Gary White, he would never let them work together again.

He didn’t trust Gary White at all.

At that moment, Joanna’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was Linda calling, she made a silencing gesture at Ashton.

After picking up, Linda directly asked her why she said she wanted to give up the Color Vista endorsement at the event today.

Joanna didn’t say that just to put on a show for others.

She thought about it for a while and told Linda the truth: "Linda, I think I should pass on that endorsement. I heard that MC was indeed planning to renew Sophie’s contract. If I took this endorsement, there would be a lot of trouble."

"My current fame isn’t suitable for being a celebrity endorser for MC. I want to focus on developing my career first, and when I truly have the ability later on, I won’t have to worry about endorsements."

"Are you sure about this, for real?"

"Yeah, I’ve thought about it."

"But you’ve already signed the contract..."

"Isn’t MC under the Parker Group? I’ll have my boyfriend talk to Mr. Parker, and there shouldn’t be any problem."

There was silence on Linda’s end for a while before she sighed with what seemed like low spirits: "Fine, I respect your decision. It’s just that even if you give up on endorsing MC, Sophie and her fans won’t be grateful to you."

"I’ll call MC now and discuss the termination of the contract."

The call ended.

Joanna suddenly remembered the 520 red envelopes with 214 dollars and 50 ambulances that were sent in her name during the live stream, and asked Ashton: "Were you the one who sent the gifts and ambulances in my name in the live stream?"

"Mhmm." Ashton nodded.

Joanna: "... When did you ever think of sending gifts like that? You don’t usually watch live streams, right?"

Ashton looked at her and gently rubbed her head: "I don’t watch live streams, never have. I’ve never rewarded any female hosts. Cody helped me with the gift-sending. If someone says I’m unwilling to spend money on you, I have to prove myself."

So he spent over 10 million dollars to prove himself?

It’s a good thing he knows how to make money, having enough to be this capricious.

Joanna thought about the money he spent on public welfare activities, and didn’t say anything since it wasn’t a waste.

"By the way, Aria just asked when we’ll be free. She said her brother wants to treat us to dinner."

Joanna remembered what Aria had said earlier and told Ashton the exact words.

She and Aria had indeed made a promise before.

Whoever got a boyfriend first would treat the other to dinner.

They actually treated Aria before when Joanna and Ashton got together.

"You decide the time. I can accommodate you anytime." Ashton looked at her with an indulgent gaze that would agree to her every whim, "I really didn’t expect that Brandon, the evergreen iron tree, would actually bloom and be taken by your best friend."
