My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage - Chapter 299

Chapter 299:

Soren stifled a chuckle, his voice steady. “I wouldn’t joke about something like this, Mr. Wright. I consider you a friend, which is why I’m sharing this bombshell with you.”

“I really appreciate it,” Mr. Wright responded, gratitude in his voice, before hanging up. A feeling of disbelief settled over him. Stepping out of his office, Mr. Wright couldn’t help but tell everyone he ran into that good would be rewarded with good. He attributed his newfound good fortune to his past generosity and was optimistic that the next episode would break records. Katrina’s screen debut! She was starring in her own creation, playing the lead role alongside Asher. Any one of those facts could be enough to make headlines.

After his excitement settled, Mr. Wright still felt it wasn’t enough. He pulled out his phone and posted on social media, “We’ve got a heavyweight guest on Weekend Party. This time, the ratings are bound to skyrocket.”

Elva opened Twitter and saw Mr. Wright’s post.

Recalling what Bart had mentioned earlier, she commented, “Who’s coming?”

Mr. Wright had worked with Lise on several other shows and had developed a strong personal rapport with her. So, he privately messaged Elva, “Asher Burton’s drama crew is coming to my show. Both Asher and the lead actress, Carrie Campbell, will be there.” The show hadn’t aired yet, so he kept Katrina’s secret identity under wraps but couldn’t help bringing up Carrie.

Elva, assuming the major guest Mr. Wright had mentioned was Asher, didn’t give it much thought. She simply handed her phone to Lise and said, “Carrie will take part in Weekend Party.”

“Carrie?” Lise paused, then took the phone from her. She squinted at the screen, her voice sharp as she said, “I want to go too.”

Elva was momentarily stunned. Lise’s sudden change of heart meant she had to patch things up with Bart, who she had just rejected. Before Elva could react, Lise handed her the phone and walked briskly toward the door, calling out to Bart as she hurried to catch up. “Hold on a moment, Bart!”

Bart paused, his irritation still clear on his face. Elva caught up with Lise, mentally bracing herself to make things right. “Bart, Lise was in a bad mood earlier and said some things out of frustration. Please don’t take it personally. She knows she was wrong and wants to apologize. We really want to be part of the show.”

The weight of regret pressed heavily on Bart’s shoulders. These days, he would stare helplessly at the monitor, watching Lise stumble through almost every scene. She delivered her lines with a flat monotone, her expression as wooden as the set props around her. It wasn’t just the mediocre acting; Lise didn’t even bother memorizing longer lines. During filming, she lazily mouthed, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5,” relying on post-production dubbing to fix her performance. The thought of enduring the inevitable online backlash made Bart’s stomach churn.

Even though he didn’t trust Elva’s repeated assurances, he had no choice but to let things play out. Lise’s name still brought attention, and her presence on the show would undoubtedly generate buzz. But that didn’t mean he had to make things easy.

With a stern expression, Bart addressed Elva sharply. “One minute she’s saying one thing, the next it’s something else. What if she changes her mind in a few days? How do I explain that to the producers? Adjustments within the crew are one thing, but messing with a program’s lineup is a whole different mess. I can’t clean up after that kind of disaster.”

Lise, oblivious to Bart’s frustration, was barely paying attention. Her eyes flitted around, her mind busy plotting how to humiliate Carrie during the show.

Elva, visibly exasperated, stepped forward to smooth things over. “Don’t worry, she won’t back out,” she said, tugging at Lise’s arm for emphasis. “Lise, tell the director yourself. You’re definitely going, right?”
