Chapter 482: Chapter 482
"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the badge?" Grace Yowell asked.
"I just feel like the badge looks familiar all of a sudden. Maybe I’ve seen it somewhere before." Josh Harris chuckled, took the badge, and said to Grace Yowell, "Let me keep this badge here for a couple of days. I need to do some preparatory work. In a few days, you can use this badge to get Mabel Quinn to meet you. Once Mabel Quinn accepts the badge, she naturally won’t live long. But are you sure using this thing will really get Mabel Quinn to come out?"
"Of course, she values this badge a lot. She’ll definitely be willing to meet me for it," Grace Yowell said confidently.
Josh Harris’s face showed a smile, playing with the badge, and there was a kind of eager anticipation in his eyes.
Alice Conley was venting her frustrations to Mabel Quinn about writing the guarantee letters, "Do you know? He actually made me write about a dozen guarantee letters, and he wouldn’t let me type them on the computer, they had to be handwritten. When I was in elementary school, even when I was coaxed into starting a brawl, the guarantee letters I wrote for my parents and teachers didn’t even add up to ten!"
And when Mabel Quinn learned that Alice Conley actually hired an online boyfriend to make Dorian Howards give up, she patted her forehead and said, "You really did such a stupid thing? Do you think by finding a temporary boyfriend online, he’ll just give up? How did you come up with that, serves you right for writing over ten guarantee letters."
"Wasn’t it you who reminded me," Alice Conley retorted.
"Me?" Mabel Quinn was taken aback.
"Yeah, you once told me something like if I have a new boyfriend, then Dorian Howards would probably give up or something."
Mabel Quinn was amused and exasperated, "But that was if you actually had a new boyfriend, not for you to hire one online. Did you really think you could fool anyone with a fake one? Besides, I also warned you before, what if something went wrong with hiring a boyfriend online?"
Alice Conley hunched her shoulders, showing a very pitiful expression, "Alright, alright, I was already lectured all day yesterday, don’t reprimand me anymore. Anyway, I won’t do this sort of thing again in the future." She certainly didn’t want to write another dozen guarantee letters in one go, it was practically a nightmare.
Mabel Quinn watched her friend like that and figured she probably wouldn’t do something so foolish again, so she returned to her computer to work.
Because Kyle Kinston had made arrangements with the media, there hadn’t been any reporters coming around to interview her about the "Sound of the Wind" novel these past two days.
However, that didn’t mean the matter was over. Mabel Quinn also received a call from the responsible person at the original publisher of the "Sound of the Wind," saying they would calculate the manuscript fees and royalties from these years for her. They also planned to pull the existing book off shelves and recall it. At the same time, they hoped for her consent to republish the book, and of course, this time her name would be credited as the original author. Additionally, the publisher intended to sue Lyra Grant and demand all losses to be compensated.
Regarding the matter with Lyra Grant, Mabel Quinn decided to leave it to the legal system to handle, and after thinking it over, she agreed to the republication. She also handed over the film adaptation rights’ issues to the publisher to deal with. After all, she had previously been involved in the film adaptation of "Sound of the Wind," and had worked hard with the crew. If the film couldn’t be released because of her personal reasons, then everyone’s efforts would have been in vain. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ n0velfire.net
