There was no surprise that Horace and Joy’s agent received a reply from the middleman that Ms. Carter didn’t intend to put her work on the film screen for the ti being.
Luna was not discouraged. She said to Horace, "Give the contact information of the middleman. I’ll talk to him personally."
An actress like her no longer cared about remuneration, popularity, or reputation.
What she wanted was a role that she really liked, a role that could move her and make her passionate!
Lockwood was the character she wanted the most right now. She had to fight for it with all her might.
Horace understood her temper and gave her the number of Justin, the editor-in-chief of Cherry Literature Network.
She imdiately called Justin and revealed her identity. She sincerely said that she wanted to talk to Lockwood personally. When Justin saw that the big star had personally called him, he was a little flattered. However, he said awkwardly, "Ms. Carter has already made it very clear. She trusts so much. I can’t disturb her because of this matter."
Ms. Carter had clearly told him that in the future, if anyone asked about the film and television rights, he could directly reject them on her behalf and not ask for her opinion.
Luna said, "I understand your difficulties, so can you tell where she might appear?
"I’ll go find her myself and talk to her face-to-face. Don’t worry, I won’t pester her. At most, I’ll spend ten minutes convincing her. If I can’t convince her, I’ll give up. Perhaps, my sincerity will move her and make this work appear perfectly on the screen."
Justin was moved by her words. "Ms. Carter often goes to that famous Carter’s Restaurant for als. If you go to that restaurant, you might be able to et her. As for Ms. Carter’s other information, I promised to keep it a secret. It’s not convenient for to say much. Please understand."
Luna stopped pestering him. "Thank you, Justin. If I can successfully convince Ms. Carter, I will definitely treat you to a al."
Upon hearing this, Justin was so excited. "Then I wish you success."
After ending the call, Luna fell into deep thought. ’Carter’s Restaurant?’ An idea ca to her.
At the sa ti, Joy also received Lockwood’s reply from her agent.
After pondering for a mont, she turned on her computer and opened Cherry Literature Network. She used hacking skills to hack into the backend of The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Hols and saw the author’s registration information. Then, she was shocked. ’Avery? Don’t tell they have the sa na.’
After taking a closer look, she realized that it was indeed Avery.
She didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh. She shook her head secretly and said, "Enemies really et on a narrow road.
"Or, people like us will always compete in the sa field.
"It’s not that easy to convince Avery..."
She picked up her coffee and sipped it slowly as she looked distractedly at the television.
The television was broadcasting the news. A face that was even more outstanding than celebrities and top celebrities appeared on the news.
Perhaps because his face was so striking, the cara always lingered on him, frequently zooming in for close-ups, to the point where even she couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. ’Alexander?’
Alexander was in a eting with the mayor of Rosemont City.
The news report concluded with a note: [After the eting, both parties enjoyed authentic Rosemont City cuisine. Alexander remarked that West End is a land of outstanding people and bountiful resources, with cuisine that is incomparable. He always feels completely at ho whenever he visits Rosemont City.]
On the television screen, the words "Carter’s Restaurant" were extrely eye-catching. The relevant scene lasted for more than ten seconds.
Joy was a little confused when she saw this. ’Is the television station advertising for Carter’s Restaurant?’
This was just the television coverage. Next, radio stations, newspapers, and other official dia outlets would report on the news. If each of these ntions Carter’s Restaurant, the restaurant’s status would be elevated to that of an "officially endorsed" establishnt. She smiled gently. "I heard that Carter’s Restaurant was forced to close for two days by Andrew’s fans. In the end, even the mayor went to eat. Those fans really made a fuss for nothing..."
That was indeed the case.
During the sumr vacation, Andrew’s student fans stayed up late every day and woke up late every day. When they woke up, it was already noon. Coupled with the fact that the weather in July was extrely hot, they went to the entrance of the restaurant under the sun to protest for two days before they couldn’t take it anymore. They didn’t go and could only slander Carter’s Restaurant online.
However, as soon as the news of the mayor and Alexander going to Carter’s Restaurant to eat ca out, the rumors about Carter’s Restaurant collapsed.
Overnight, all the negative news about Carter’s Restaurant on the Internet disappeared. There was also a group of accounts that deliberately defad Carter’s Restaurant that appeared abnormal and were blocked for a few days.
Netizens joked that Carter’s Restaurant seed to be "cheating" in a ga. Every ti soone tried to criticize it, the restaurant managed to co through unscathed, with its reputation enhanced and its business booming even more. This law seed to apply to everyone in the Carter family.
After the storm, Carter’s Restaurant was full again.
However, Luna managed to get a private room because of her friendship with the Carter family.
After obtaining permission from the restaurant, she hung a banner she had designed herself on the window of a private room. It was attractive and eye-catching, yet not ostentatious, reading: "Lockwood, your loyal fans gather here every evening in hopes of your autograph."
In addition, she placed the 2nd edition of Lockwood’s Detective Diary that she had bought at the door of the private room and asked Lindsey to distribute it to every passing guest.
Lindsey said, "My sister is a loyal reader of this novel and specially bought 3,000 novels to distribute to everyone, hoping to let more people know how exciting this novel is."
Luna was betting on her luck.
She felt that she might have to wait for many geniuses to have a chance to et Lockwood.
However, Carter’s Restaurant was just so small. Avery ca to the restaurant for dinner almost every night, and tonight was no exception.
She was very surprised when she saw the banner and the behavior of publishing the book. She thought to herself, ’Since my readers are so infatuated and attentive, I could not be so petty and should give my autograph.’
So she walked up to Lindsey, who was also wearing a mask, and told her, "I’m Lockwood. Where’s your sister? I’ll autograph her."
"That’s great, thank you!" Lindsey excitedly opened the door of the private room and said loudly, "Luna, Ms. Carter is here..."
The few people in the private room instantly stopped chatting and looked at the door in unison.
Then, both sides were stunned. Avery was speechless.
The people in the private room were all her family mbers—Luna, Horace, Brandon, and Zayn.
Although she was wearing a mask, Jaden and Zayn recognized her at a glance. They said in surprise, "Avery?"
Luna and Horace, who stood up to greet Lockwood, were also stunned. ’What’s going on?’
When Avery saw that she had been exposed, she could not be bothered to pretend anymore. She smiled and pulled down her mask. "Ha-ha, I’m Lockwood, the author of Lockwood’s Detective Diary."
Everyone was speechless. Fine, they were surprised—but it could have been expected.
