Chapter 27 He Was Not That Kind of Person
Jocelyn was almost out of breath and cried out. Calvin then realized what he was doing and soon got up in panic.
What was he doing just now?
He must be crazy!
Left Jocelyn on the bed, Calvin ran out of the room. It seemed that he had to take a cold shower tonight.
...
Jocelyn had a long and deep sleep. After getting up in the morning, she was full of energy.
She turned on the phone first, and then went to wash up. Soon, her phone rang.
It was Katie. Jocelyn answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Jocelyn, look at the entertainment section of NCC News! Today's news is super great!"
After hanging up, Jocelyn opened NCC News and checked the latest new today.
The entertainment section was very rich and interesting, and the most interesting one was the headline of Icehive.
The headline came into her eyes: Apologizing Statement of The New Film Release Conference from The President of Icehive.
She clicked on it. It was an apology video released on the official website of Icehive. Ernest expressed his sincere apology to the camera, and he also admitted that there were some problems during the operation process of The Phoenix Queen, which resulted in the delay of release.
In addition, he announced a message as the producer of the new film that the copyright of The Phoenix Queen would be auctioned. And the auction time would be announced on the official website.
Obviously, because of Jocelyn, the problems inside Icehive and about the new film had spread widely on the Internet. The stock of Icehive had been greatly affected and had a sharp decline.
Ernest had no other choices but released the apology video and prevented negative reports from being exposed to the public by money.
Anyway, Ernest must be in deep distress.
That was what Jocelyn wanted. If he felt painful, she would feel better.
After reading the news, she was about to call Veronica and discussed about what to do next. Well, Veronica's call came at this time. Jocelyn picked up the phone, "Hello, Veronica?"
"Jocelyn, you know. Ernest asked me about you yesterday. But I didn't tell him anything. Did you see the news? Ernest was driven crazy. He planed to auction the copyright of The Phoenix Queen. Now what should we do?"
"I've seen the news. I was ready to call you to tell you my next plan. I must get the copyright of The Phoenix Queen!"
Five years ago, it was Jocelyn's idea to choose the film The Phoenix Queen.
She was the heroine selected at that time. The company got the right to adapt the novel IP, and she participated in the adaptation in person. She almost devoted herself all to the script, but she didn't expect that Theresa enjoyed the fruit finally.
She knew that Ernest hoped to make Theresa win the Best Actress Award by this film, and also wanted to make Icehive be one of the top entertainment companies.
He wanted it very much, but Jocelyn would definitely not let it happen. Since she couldn't be part of the film, she wouldn't let Ernest and Theresa realize their stupid dream.
Jocelyn wanted to win the copyright, but it was not that easy. Veronica pointed out the most important thing, "Jocelyn, you want to get the copyright. That's okay. But to get the copyright must need a large amount of money. Are you sure you won't have problems with the money?"
"I will try my best. Please help me find out the details of the auction first, and then I'll call you again."
Jocelyn had got the source. She thought as long as she could get the copyright, she would be the major producer of The Phoenix Queen.
Therefore, the top priority was to find ways to raise enough funds. Where could she get the money?
The face of Calvin suddenly came to her mind. The agreement between them was worth 12 million dollars!
However, the agreement didn't expire, and she didn't get any money!
How about negotiating with Calvin?
Would he agree?
She remembered that she told him not to interfere in her affairs and that she wouldn't ask for his help.
The words were just like spilled water that couldn't be taken back. Jocelyn was so upset. Why did she say that? She would have solve the problem by asking for Calvin's help. No! She was really silly!
However, Jocelyn soon thought of another approach. She remembered that her grandfather had left her shares which were under the care of the lawyer. As long as she could get back the share contract from the lawyer, she would get a lot of money.
In addition, Jocelyn planned to go back to the Murray family to find her pocket watch. She noticed the news that Calvin was offering a reward of 20 million dollars to find an antique pocket watch. If her watch was the one that he was looking for, she would get that 20 million dollars!
After making the decision, Jocelyn began to pack up. She opened the curtains and noticed the beer cans on the balcony which reminded her the scene of drinking beer with Calvin.
How weird!
She drank with Calvin. God, it was so unbelievable!
Jocelyn changed the clothes. She chose a thin shawl to cover her wound.
Jocelyn went to kids' room first. She opened the door of Jeffrey and Tammy's room, but found that they were not in the room.
When passing by Sean's room, she heard the voice of Tammy. Opened the door, she saw Tammy bouncing around in the room joyfully.
Tammy noticed Jocelyn. She said cheerfully, "Mommy mommy! I'm playing with Sean."
"Well, what about your brother?"
"He's out!"
In fact, Jeffery was unpleasant when seeing his sister was so close to Sean, so he went out.
Tammy ran over and hugged her leg, looked up and asked, "Mommy, did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah, how about you?" Jocelyn touched her pretty face and asked.
"I slept so well!" Tammy asked again, "Mommy, did you see many bright lights last night?"
"Well, yeah!"
"You do not know that those were arranged by dad, do you?" Tammy said.
"What? What dad? You mean your daddy?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"No! Daddy is daddy. Dad is dad. Mr. Austin is dad!"
Tammy was clear about that.
Jocelyn was shocked. She didn't expect that the romantic scene last night was made for her by Calvin!
How could that be possible?
He didn't look like that kind of person at all!
"Dad said that yesterday was grandma's death day, so he let someone set the fireworks." Tammy continued.
Jocelyn was really shocked. Yesterday was her mother's death day, but she didn't tell anyone. How did Calvin know?
Was it Marcus?
