After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)
Unveiled 115

Chapter 115

"Oh." Elara said slowly. "Didn't you say that if I didn't apologize, you'd make it impossible for me to sell the rights to my novel? So why are you in such a hurry now that I've already sold

T..." Charlotte took a deep breath. "Elara, you lack a sense of commitment to the agreement."

Elara smirked. "I have the right to decide who I sell my work to yesterday I agreed to sell you the rights to my novel, but it was you who said you needed time to consider it. If you can take your time to decide, why can't I? "But we never said no!" Charlotte protested.

"But you didn't contact me either! The other party is more sincere. Why should I have to wait for your approval when I'm selling my thing?"

Charlotte gripped her phone, nearly trembling with anger. "Elar, just you wait! I want to see who in this industry dares to take on your drama!! She just wanted Elara to come begging for mercy.

She hadn't even confronted Elara about pretending to be her boyfriend's fiancée, and yet here Elara was, turning the tables and embarrassing her. Hearing Charlotte's words, Elara simply replied, "Fine. Go ahead and watch!"

Was it a threat? Elara thought inwardly and smiled.

Thinking back to when Charlotte had been banned in her previous life, she had actually felt a bit sorry for Charlotte.

She hadn't realized that Charlotte was this kind of person.

After finishing her call with Charlotte, Elara settled down and started eating the fruit that the hotel housekeeper had brought

Just as she finished, her phone rang.

To her surprise, it was Felicity,

Felicity was also in Rivercity and invited Elara to dinner.

Elara agreed.

She came out, and the hotel arranged a car to take her to the address Felicity had sent

Felicity owned a house in the area.

When Elara arrived, Felicity greeted her in a stunning slim-fit long dress.

She wasn't overly skinny but had the perfect figure, and the long dress only accentuated her graceful silhouette and made her look even more elegant,

As soon as Elara stepped inside, Felicity approached warmly, taking her hand. "If I'd known you were coming to Rivercity too, I would have planned for us to travel here together" Chapter 113

Tm here just to handle some work, Elara explained.

Is it about the film and TV rights for your novel? Felicity asked

Elara was taken aback. Felicity, how did you know about that?"

"I had dinner with some industry people the other day, and I mentioned how much I love your novel. As it happens, their company is in the movie and TV business, and they even said they'd be interested in buying the rights. Elara, I'm obsessed with your work! How do you come up with such brilliant plots?" Felicity said.

Elara was speechless.

It was just that she had read more novels before.

And now, people didn't seem to read as so many different novels

That was why all the plots she wrote felt fresh for them.

Elara spoke up, "Now I know why they wanted to buy the rights to my movie and TV show, and they offered such a high price. It was because you brought it up."

With Felicity's influence, even a casual mention of something she liked could prompt others to take notice and send her the best of it.

No wonder the person in charge had been so respectful towards her.

And the others also had been polite to her, except for that Charlotte.

Felicity asked, "Well? Did you sign the agreement? Their company is pretty reputable, and the investment seems solid. If your novel gets filmed, it'll definitely turn out well."

"I didn't sign with them. I went with the company my cousin introduced. It's a newer company, and the owner is a young guy with a good attitude," Elara said.

"Why didn't you sign with them?" Felicity sounded a little concerned. "If you sell the rights casually and someone else directs it poorly, they could completely ruin the characters in your story. Ever since what Marcus had done before, Felicity had felt quite sorry to Elara,

She feared that Elara and Lysander might hold a grudge against her.

Recommending this deal to Elara was not only because she liked Elara work, but also as a way to redeem herself in Elara's

ryes

Elara smiled and said, "No need to worry. They promised that I'd have a say in the casting. I'll show you everything when the time comes, and if you don't like someone, we'll change it."

"But the first company will have also asked for your opinion, right? Felicity still seemed a little uneasy.

Elara thought of Charlotte and replied, "Well, they insisted on bringing their own lead actress, and 1 really don't like her."

"Which actress? They tried to force one on you?" Felicity was surprised.

She had recommended the company, and now this was happening-it really embarrassed her!

They said she's Lysander's girlfriend, so they couldn't offend her Elara explained.

"That's impossible! Felicity objected. "I know Lysander, and he's always so busy. Where would he even replace the time for a relationship? Every time he's back and has a break, he's rushing over to see you. I can't imagine him having time for 11:48 Fri, Nov B

someone else."

"Well, I don't know much about that," Elara said.

Outside the villa gates, a nanny van was parked.

Aubrey sat inside, waiting.

Charlotte sat beside him, her voice soft and coaxing. "Baby, why did you insist on making me take that role in the novel? There are so many novles out there on the internet. Can we change it to another novel? Please?"

The thought that Elara had already sold the rights to that novel made Charlotte really a little frustrated.

Aubrey had been the one who encouraged her to take the part in the first place.

Now, she didn't have the courage to tell him she had messed things up.

All she could do was subtly test his attitude.

Hearing her words, Aubrey glanced at her. "What, you don't like the role?"

His eyes were cold, making it hard to guess what he was thinking

Charlotte hesitated, still not daring to speak her mind before she was certain of his mood. "No! I really like it, I was just cunious, that's all."

Aubrey then said, "My mom really loves that novel. If you can play the role well, she'll love you for it." "Oh..." Charlotte looked at him in surprise. "Your mom also likes to read that kind of... trashy fiction?" "What do you mean by that?" Aubrey's voice grew colder, a hint of irritation creeping in. His mother had praised the novel, which was written by Elara, but now Charlotte was calling it trashy.

"Then which novels do you think are good? You haven't read many books, but you still act like an expert, Aubrey said.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong," Charlotte quickly said.

She leaned over and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, hoping to calm him down.

But the look on Aubrey's face still seemed angry. Her heart sank with a sudden sense of panic.

If she'd known this would upset him, she wouldn't have said those things in front of Elara yesterday.

Now that the rights to the novel had been sold, she had no idea what she could do to fix this.

Aubrey stepped out of the car and then said to Charlotte, "You should head home now." Charlotte blinked at him. "You're not taking me to see your mom? I wanted to say hi.

"What do you think I'd tell her if I took you to see her?" Aubrey's frustration was evident. He was secretly in love with Charlotte, but things were complicated.

She

was an actress, and if his mom found out, she'd be very angry about that.

Chapter 115

When he had heard hismo mention she wanted someone to lapt Elara's novel into a series, he thought getting Charlone to play the lead might win his mom over. Then they'd have something in common, and his mom might even like her more.

Besides, Charlotte was undeniably pretty, but her mind was shallow. It was truly frustrating.

Till introduce you when you've been confirmed for the role. For now, just head home, he said curtly, waving her off.

Aubrey instructed the driver to take her home, then walked away

Charlotte was sitting alone in the backseat, and she quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Elara after Aubrey was out of sight.

At that moment, Elara was still sitting in the living room, while Felicity had gone to the kitchen,

Seeing Charlotte's call, she answered with a calm, "Yes?"

Charlotte didn't waste any time, her tone still carrying a hint of superiority. "Elara, I'm not going to make a fuss about you selling your work to someone else." "Huh?" Elara was confused.

"What's the problem with her?' Elara thought.

Before Elara could ask what she meant, Charlotte continued, "But I'm going to star as the female lead!"
