A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 398

"Well, Zachary promised he’d convince the mysterious screenwriter, C, to meet everyone!"

"That's some seriously exciting news! Wonder when we'll actually hear more about it."

Max was lost in his thoughts, practically vibrating with excitement. "C might not have a ton of work out there, but in the industry, C’s a legend. C’s stuff is just incredible!"

He looked over at Valerian and the two others, who were staring back at him, completely baffled.

“Really, it’s like talking to a brick wall with you guys,” Max muttered under his breath.

“What wall?” Monty asked, furrowing his brow. “What screenwriter… Max, didn’t we pay for this event? Why is everyone acting so weird?”

“Oh, please,” Max rolled his eyes. “That money’s nothing! The real prize is getting any scoop on C! If you had info on C, you'd be the talk of the town With that kind of buzz, money wouldn’t be an issue!

I’ve got to run and edit some videos, prep my script, you know? Can’t stick around chatting while everyone’s scrambling for the scoop!”

Max noticed the reporters had scattered, each chasing the latest lead. He started to panic, “I can’t let them get ahead of me!”

“Wait, Max—”

“Let go of me, I’ve got to go! You’re wasting my time!”

And with that, Max took off at a sprint.

Horatio and the others were left standing there, at a loss for what to do.

“Well, there goes that money,” Valerian frowned.
