At 10:30 pm, Avery and Maria returned to the villa.
As soon as they entered the main building, they saw the others discussing sothing enthusiastically,
Arthur waved at them excitedly. "Avery, Maria, you’re back. Good news!!"
He caught his breath and rambled on edly, "Claire and I found a charming, vintage house this afternoon, and we were planning to rent it for three to five years to try it out. But as Harry arrived, he went ahead and bought the house. then rented it to us for 20 years at a very low price. He signed the agreent with us on the spot. The four of us each invested 6 million dollars without seeking dividends"
Arthur cradled his face in his hands, feeling like he was on cloud nine
He let out a huge, contented sigh and continued gushing over Harry. "Why is Harry such a great guy? Our family has been really lucky recently. The people we t were all good people. I feel that this world is especially beautiful."
Avery smiled and said "he’s willing to invest, it ans that he has confidence in you. You have to have confidence in yourselves too."
Arthur patted his chest proudly. "We’re very confident! In fact, we’re discussing how to renovate the old mansion. Do you want to discuss it together?"
Avery shook her head. "I still have a lot of things to do in the laboratory, so I won’t get involved."
As the old saying went, what one worked hard to obtain truly belonged to oneself
It was fine as long as she did her best to help her family.
Maria also yawned and said, "I have to be at the company by seven tomorrow morning. I’ll wash up and sleep first."
After Avery returned to her room, she imdiately sat in front of her computer and worked quickly on her novel.
She wrote until 1:30 in the morning.
She finally completed the end of the fifth volu of "The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Hols. It was a total of 5,000 words and was released in two Chapters,"
At the end of the fifth volu, she wrote: "After Lockwood returned to his apartnt from the police station, he found a small drone on the balcony as soon as he entered. He picked up the drone and found a USB flash drive hanging from it Moving quickly, he plugged the USB drive into his computer and found a 100–minute–long video of a car accident, with tistamps indicating when it was fild. His expression grew more and more serious as he watched. This was a major case, and the victim was a well–known heiress from a prominent family! Yet, five years had passed since the incident, and there was no ntion of it by anyone or any dia. How interesting!"
At the end. Avery wrote. "To be continued."
Avery finished the volu with a cliffhanger. She turned off the computer and went to rest.
At nine–thirty in the morning, she lazily got out of bed and looked at her phone as she brushed her teeth.
She clicked on the trending topic and was shocked.
Half of the trending topics were related to Detective Lockwood Hols, and it was all over the news.
The headline read, "The Great Detective Lockwood Hols Reappears, Ending Volu 5, Starting Volu 6.
There were a couple of headlines. "Have you guessed who the culprit of the poisoning case is?". "Soone guessed the culprit in the fifty volu correctly and celebrated with fireworks all night– now they’ve been invited to the police station for a chat over unlicensed fireworks use," "You want to test your IQ? Read The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Hols. You deserve it," and "I can’t sleep at night. The cliffhanger is killing . Begging for the quick release of volu .
Seeing all these comnts, Avery was at a little loss for words.
She muttered to herself, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Then she opened the serialized novel page.
She was shocked by what she saw.
In just one night, there were over 10,000 new comnts and more than 200 thousand dollars tips.
The website’s chief editor donated 200 thousand dollars and left a ssage in the comnts section: [Everyone, it’s not that we don’t want to sign with the author or send the tips to him, but we just can’t get in touch! I can’t get through to the phone number he left, and there’s no reply from his email. There’s really nothing we can do about it.]
Besides the website, many publishers and film institutions also left ssages in the comnts section, begging the author to get in touch with them.
Avery, the author was furiously looking for, knew that she would not contact them.
Anyway, she was not short of money and did not care about that bit of fa.
However, she still had to pay attention to the readers’ opinions.
She shrugged and muttered, "Oh well, then I won’t go anywhere today. I’ll just stay at ho and write"
Avery stayed at ho as she intended.
At this mont, Alexander had already changed and was preparing to eat.
Louis placed the breakfast in front of him, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses. "Did Miss Carter take good care of you last night after you pretended to be drunk? Did she personally help you change your clothes, wash your face, and clean your hands?"
Others might not know, but how could he not know?
Mr. Moran was truly soone who could drink endlessly without genting drunk. He just practiced moderation and disliked the drinking culture of persuading or forcing others to drink
The half bottle of champagne last night was not enough to make Mr. Moran drunk and unsteady on his feet.
Alexander’s hand that was holding the knife and fork paused slightly. He looked up and glanced at Louis coldly "Haven’t you been following ? Didn’t you see Miss Carter leave in less than five minutes after entering the room?"
Louis said, "Five minutes is enough to do a lot of things."
Alexander’s gaze turned even colder. "Are you talking about your experience"
Louis quickly shut up. "I have no experience. I have no right to speak."
Alexander snorted and finished his breakfast quickly. "We can set off now."
Louis quickly walked forward and opened the door. They took the lift to the garage and Louis quickly got into the driver’s seat. He sent Mr. Moran to the most upscale new CBD skyscraper in Rosemont City, the Pinnacle Tower,
At this mont, the entrance of the Pinnacle Tower was very lively. An eye–catching red banner with yellow words "Warm congratulations on the opening of Yaen Jewelry Design Studio was hung high up."
The red carpet, balloon arch, and opening flower baskets beneath the banner were all standard and not particularly novel.
What really attracted people were the well–dressed and fashionable celebrities.
Not only did they attract the dia’s attention, but they also attracted a large number of enthusiastic onlookers.
"That’s the famous fashion blogger, Rebecca. At first glance, she looks pretty ordinary, but her fashion sense is outstanding which really elevates her appearance by a couple of notches", said an onlooker.
"This studio is amazing. They actually managed to invite the popular host, Nana!" Another onlooker exclaid in surprise.
Several other onlookers also talked amongst themselves, "Wow, isn’t that the famous fashion diva Helly? She once said that she doesn’t take private engagents," "Oh my God, look at that! It’s Andrew, the male lead from "My Fallen Heiress. He’s the hottest actor of this sumr!", "It really is Andrew. He looks even better in person than on TV. I’m in love! I need to take a photo with him, even if I just end up being a background extra"
However, after soone shouted, "Mr. Moran is here, all the caras and gazes shifted to Alexander. No one paid attention to those celebrities and influencers anymore.
A young girl asked with sparkling eyes, "Who is this man? Is he an international supermodel?"
"Could it be that this is a star who’s been famous abroad for a long ti and has now co to develop their career dostically, which is why we don’t recognize them" another onlooker asked
"Wow, I thought Andrew was handso enough, but this man is even more handso. This is the first ti I’ve understood what true nobility and elegance look like, gushed" one of the onlookers.
Soone kindly explained. "That’s the famous CEO of Moran Group, Alexander, the number one bachelor in the world! He’s very low–key and rarely appears in public. I really don’t know what kind of connections Yaen Jewelry Design Studio has to be able to invite him to attend their opening."
