The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 599

Donald gave him the side-eye. “I don't seem to know you.”

“Mr. Campbell, it's understandable that a busy man like you doesn't know who I am. Let me introduce myself. I'm Brody Quantrill, manager from Popular Group. We met during the earlier press conference.”

Popular Group? A member of the Quantrill family?

Even though the Quantrills kept the lowest profile among the Ten Prestigious Families, they were one of the most powerful among them.

Previously, Donald heard that members of the Ten Prestigious Families had withdrawn from Pollerton. It seems that they couldn't resist the temptation to come back.

Meanwhile, Brody was unperturbed despite being at the receiving end of Donald's cold shoulder.

He had overheard the earlier exchange and knew that Dragon Fide Corporation, too, was trying to promote their own starlets through the reality show.

Also, he could see that Donald was clearly unaware of the unwritten rules of the industry.

It was one thing when it came to mediocre programs where the directors at the helm obeyed Spencer.

However, when it came to famous directors like Myles, anyone who wanted their starlets to participate in his show had to deal directly with him, for going through Spencer was a fruitless endeavor.

Holding back his smile, Brody suggested, “Mr. Campbell, are you here to get your starlets a slot in the program too? You should've told me earlier, as Mr. Carling and I have been friends for a long time. I'm sure he will willingly agree to it on my account. Why don't you invite your two starlets along for supper so that we can evaluate them? If they show promise, I'm confident Mr. Carling would allow them some airtime on the show.”

Having known each other for a long time, Myles naturally knew what Brody meant by “airtime.”

Truth be told, Myles had nothing against Dragon Fide Corporation. After all, they were the TV station sponsors, and it made no sense for him to antagonize the party paying his bills.

What bothered him was that Dragon Fide Corporation didn't seek his permission when trying to get their starlets into his show.

“It's fine. I'll deal with it since I'm here. Can you check with Mr. Duncan if this director named Myles Carling can be sacked? Otherwise, we'll just replace Mr. Duncan instead.”

As Donald didn't bother to keep his voice down, Brody and Myles overheard every word he said.

Donald's uncompromising stance took Myles by surprise, as the former's words were the equivalent of a publicly declaring war with him.

With regard to the suggestion that he and Spencer be fired, Myles felt that it was nothing but big talk on Donald's part.

Due to the limited resources of local TV stations, their viewership was no match for that of national TV stations.

Therefore, Spencer would have to be a fool to remove him, given that his show was the main driver of Pollerton TV Station's high ratings.
