“I understand,” Derek interrupted Henry.
“After you and Miss Zoe made a request last time, Miss Zoe and Mrs. Maynard once drank tea together. When Mrs. Maynard came back, she began to investigate Ms. Serina. I think Miss Zoe should tell Mrs. Maynard about it.”
Derek frowned.
He had been too hasty.
He had thought that his mother would not like Zoe and was only for the sake of business marriage, but now they had united.
He had miscalculated.
“Mr. Derek, it seems that Mrs. Maynard is going to do something with Ms. Serina. You have to think of a countermeasure. Otherwise, if…”
Henry didn’t continue, nor did he mention Marco. After all, it was Derek’s sad past.
Derek naturally understood. Lauren had always been vicious and merciless. She had dealt with Marco, so she could also deal with Serina!
No!
He absolutely could not let such a thing happen again.
His eyes fixed on the divorce agreement, and his thoughts were going quickly.
Serina seemed to have disappeared from the world. Derek was constantly looking for countermeasures. During this time, Clara’s career reached a new height.
She had received piles of scripts and could pick up one as she pleased. And a lot of programs would like to invite her to attend, so she had a tight schedule every day.
It was said that her salary had reached the level of a first-tier actress, which made many female stars who had taken a famous film jealous.
Mia accepted seven endorsements for Clara in one go. They were picked out from many endorsements and offered sky-high salaries.
No one had expected that an idol drama could make Clara so popular.
“Dad, I got it. Have you received the one million dollars I transferred to you? I also bought the latest massage chair for Grandpa and a set of jewelry for Grandma.
“Alright. I’ll take some time to go home. Bye,” Clara was answering the call from her family.
After hanging up the phone, Clara let out a sigh of relief. Recently, she had made a lot of money. And her room was filled with gifts from her fans.
The way of gaining fame and attention by getting herself embroiled in controversies with Ernest seemed to be successful. Ernest also had the intention to cooperate with her, which helped her a lot.
“Clara, come and take a look at the clothes for tonight’s show. Do they look pretty?”
Mia ordered someone to move a fake model over. The model was wearing the latest design of Chanel that hadn’t been sold in public.
“Wow, isn’t it a joint design of a famous designer and Chanel?”
“The sponsors got it for you. I told them that if they don’t get it, I won’t let you attend the show. They dare not to do as I told.”
Mia said with a smug expression.
“Are they really that obedient?” Clara covered her mouth and smiled.
“Of course, you are so popular now. If someone invites you to their shows, the ratings will explode!” Mia gestured.
“Alright. Stop exaggerating.”
Clara thought about something and asked, “When will the next season of ‘President Is an Evil’ begin to film? Has it been decided?”
“Not yet. I’ve called the crew before. The staff said that it would begin in a few days. They are currently gathering opinions about the plots from fans online. It’s also very popular.”
“Gathering the opinions about the plots? There is no need for a screenwriter?” Clara raised her eyebrows.
“No. Screenwriters are certainly needed. They will adapt the script according to the opinions of fans. But I don’t think Serina will have the chance.”
“I think so too. A popular drama won’t bring a popular screenwriter. Do we need to renew our contract?” Clara asked.
“Yes. The crew may send it to us in a few days. After all, the drama is on every season, and the changes are relatively large. This time, I am going to be greedy.”
Mia narrowed her eyes. Her mind was full of money.
“Mia, it is not proper. The production fee for idol dramas will not be very high. We can’t ask too much, otherwise…”
“Don’t worry. You and Ernest are popular. The fans have said that if you are changed, they won’t watch the drama anymore.”
It was true. A few days ago, there was a related topic on the trending list of Weibo.
“No matter how much I ask for, they will agree. After all, they still care about the ratings and the foundation of fans. You don’t have to worry about the production cost. The drama is so popular, and the investors have earned a lot by it.”
“Then do as you say,” Clara smiled.
“By the way, there is one more thing. The crew is going to hold a public celebration party. You are the main actress and have to attend it. As for the gown, you consider it yourself.”
“Alright.”
In S City, Serina was writing novels at home when she suddenly received a call from Lawis, the producer.
“Ms. Serina, how is it going?”
“Mr. Lawis, I’ve been watching our drama recently. Its post-production was beyond expectation.”
“Is that true? Glad to hear that you like it. It gained explosive popularity, and our efforts are not in vain.”
Serina was pleased to see her novel being filmed and released on TV. Ernest and Clara’s acting skills hadn’t lived up to the drama. Thus, Serina made a great achievement.
“Ms. Serina, we are going to hold a celebration party and have invited many media to help promote the next season.”
“That is good,” Serina was not interested in the party.
“Are you free recently? As you are the original author and the special appointment screenwriter, you should attend the celebration party. How is your foot? Can you go?”
“My foot is much better, but I don’t want to participate in public circumstances. Mr. Lawis, you know me.”
She just didn’t want to see Clara. She knew that Clara had become famous.
“Ms. Serina, you played such an important role and made great contributions. If you don’t attend, the celebration banquet will not be interesting. Just go, for the sake of me.”
“Mr. Lawis, you…”
“Ms. Serina, it doesn’t matter. The reason why we hold it in public is that we have to give a chance for some media to interview. When the interview session is over, there will only be people from our crew. Let’s gather together and have some fun.”
Serina had no choice but to agree.
“Alright.”
“That’s great, Ms. Serina! I will talk to you about the next season then. I’ve ordered a dress for you. It will be sent to you later along with an invitation letter. Hope to see you.”
“OK.”
Hanging up the phone, Serina sighed, ‘Mr. Lawis is always so considerate and gets everything ready.’
