Chapter 1825


    The four individuals in the painting were captured during a recent cultural banquet, all dressed up for


    the asion.


    “Look!” Toph frowned. “Do you think they look like a family? They weren’t smiling, and it seemed like


    they had something up their sleeves. You can’t even tell they’re rted!”


    Chris pointed out, “Well, didn’t Jodie stand close to Wilfred?”


    “Hmm, they’re the only ones who were smiling. Just a little bit, not much.” Toph looked at him. “Chris,


    think about our family dinner. Even though we have irritating rtives, everyone just pretends when we


    take group pictures, right?


    “Look at this family. They didn’t even bother to pretend! Did you know that Delh and Wilfred stood far


    away from each other at first? As if they didn’t want to be together!”


    “They’ve been married for a long time. Perhaps there’s no longer love between them.”


    Toph pouted. “My parents aren’t like that!”


    Chris felt helpless. “Your family is something else. Don’t alwayspare your parents with others,


    okay? Of course, my parents are quite loving, too.”


    “That’s right!” Toph pped his thigh. “Also, I was exhausted painting this picture! The four of them


    have different faces. There’s almost zero resemnce between them! It’s just Delh who has a little


    simrity with… her son.”


    Upon closer inspection, they realized he was right—the four of them looked like strangers.


    Daniel smirked, locking eyes with Chris and Lena.


    It seemed the day the truth would be exposed was near. –


    Maisie’s new book was progressing quickly. The announcement went well, thanks to Lily’s pre-


    promotional efforts to gain more fans while the first book was still popr.


    The draft of theic wasplete, and they were counting down to the announcement.


    With the new authors achieving sess and experienced writers winning awards, SL Publishing’s


    reputation had spread globally.


    Lily was over the moon, waking up with a smile from her sweet dreams.


    She called Maisie to the office. “Isn’t it amazing to have two books published at the same time?” Maisie


    smiled. Indeed, her work gave her a sense of achievement.


    “You’ll be very busy soon!” Lily reminded her, “Your schedule will be filled with signing events. You


    might go on live streams to sell your books as well. This is a friendly reminder that you might not get off


    work early for a period. Tell Daniel that he’ll be sleeping alone!”


    Maisie blushed. “What are you talking about, Lily…”


    “Oh yes, this is for you!” Lily handed her a contract. “This is the contract for the change of script. Your


    first book will be shown on the big screen!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    She was stunned. The surprise came too suddenly, leaving her momentarily speechless.


    Although Lily had mentioned screenwriting before, she was not ready. Opportunities were given to


    those who were prepared, and she needed to push herself harder now.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “It’s Wilfred Newhouse who is investing in the drama.” Lily looked at her. “He’s Delh’s husband. I’m


    sure you met him at the banquet.”


    Maisie nodded.


    “He’s investing, and he appointed you as the screenwriter.” Lily thought about it before continuing.


    “Unlike some men who cheat on their wives after gaining some sess, he’s considered a good man


    after being in the industry for years!


    “Moreover, you’re Daniel’s girlfriend. He wouldn’t dare to offend you. I guess he’s buttering you up to


    kiss Daniel’s ass!”


    “Oh.”


    “No matter what, this is a great opportunity!” Lily remarked. “Give your best in writing the script. I’ll take


    a look at it when you’re done!”


    Maisie nodded. “Okay. Thanks, Lily!”


    Someone texted her just then.
