Chapter 97
Madeline shook her head in disappointment. “No need. Thank you.”
Her reply made Yohannes feel regretful, and as his hand curled up slightly, his knuckles turned slightly red.
The script he held in his hand was a pile of trash.
He thought, “How can I possibly show it to her?”
“Actually, the script hasn’t been finalized.”
“My studio is planning to shoot a youth drama, so I’ll just read through it casually,”
Yohannes lifted the script in his hand. “Who would like such an exaggerated subject?”
Then, he waded it up and threw it into the trash can.
He was destroying all evidence.
Madeline turned to look at him and waited for him to say something.
I have a lot of scripts in my mailbox. Would you like to read some?”
Is that okay?” Madeline lowered her eyes and said, “Since you hate me so much, you don’t have to force yourself.”
Yohannes didn’t want to admit what he did behind the scenes. He insisted, “I don’t really consider this hate, I’m just not familiar.” Nodding, Madeline said nothing again.
“After all, I haven’t seen you for many years, and we’ve both changed a lot.” Yohannes forced himself to amend
He took out his phone, opened his mailbox, and handed it to Madeline.
“Take a look. My agent sent me more than ten scripts. These were the ones selected. They’re all B+ class
scripts of various themes.
Madeline accepted the phone. She saw that the recent emails were densely filled with scripts. Obviously, Yohannes had plans for such
work in the near future.
She glanced over most of them until a particular script caught her eye.
It was titled “Fake Confessions.”
It was a popular television series that was originally an adaptation of a novel. The plot was about the love story between a four–time consecutive champion e–sports coach and an actress,
At the age of 18, the male lead and female lead broke up with each other because of the long distance caused by their careers.
Later on in the years, the e–sports coach went from being a university student to being the first player who won four consecutive titles in the hot gaming scene. Moreover, he was a handsome man.
The two of them m

at the peak of their careers and collided with each other again.
After a long separation, they met once again.
Madeline had not expected the project, which was scheduled to be filmed three years later, to be already approved.
She vaguely remembered that the project had been aborted at first, and it could be said that it was an underestimated script
“Which one are you going to choose?”
Madeline’s expression was serious, and her eyes sparkled brightly.
All of a sudden, Yohannes found himself unable to look away from her.
Even after all these years, she was still so bright that he was completely immersed.
“That’s a good idea..

“What did you say?” Madeline tilted her head with a trace of puzzlement in her eyes.
“We’ll go with what you said since you have a good idea about it, right?” Yohannes pursed his lips, sat upright, and pretended to be
serious.
He recalled Liam’s comment about himself. “You being so worthless is quite shameful.”“
He took back the phone, looked at it, and pointed at “Dear Dr. Ross,” He said, “My studio thinks that this is more suitable. It’s a modern youth story. The hero is a doctor, and the script is quite good in all aspects”
Madeline knew that the play was banned because of its sensitive subject and scriptwriter.
It was never released and was basically shot in vain.
The play, which was highly valued, was dragged down by the scriptwriter.
The scriptwriter was also infamous and withdrew from his circle.
“No, not this one.”
“Why not? The other party is still competing with us.
“Although whatever I choose is considered mine, it’s good to have a bit of competition.”
Madeline pursed her lips and said stubbornly, “Fake Confessions is more suitable for you. Look, you’re so handsome. You resemble the male lead.”
Yohannes was stunned for a moment, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
“A–Are you serious?”
He thought. “She thinks that I’m handsome?”
“Of course I’m serious. Eve read this novel, and the character really suits you. Madeline clicked on the script and said, “In fact, s youth drama, being high–profile doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Presently, there are few e–sports–themed shows on the market. There are almost no popular ones and only a handful of other serious ones
Madeline crossed her hands against her chin, with her eyelashes lowered as she fixed her eyes on his phone.
She had delicate baby hair on her neck, and when sunshine shone down upon her, it made her entire being sparkle,
Her eyelashes were long and curved, and she looked as if she had tiny stars in her eyes.
“So from both the script creation and market, it’s undeniably a good choice. It’s a good combination.”
Madeline raised her eyes and looked at Yohannes sincerely. “What do you think?”
Yohannes gritted his teeth and nodded without hearing a single word.
He breathed a sigh of relief. He could barely concentrate as he sat beside Madeline.
It was utterly impossible to maintain the image of a cold and snow–covered mountain.
He raised his chin slightly, showing a sense of coldness and arrogance. “You can’t settle this matter with just a few words. But I’ll discuss your suggestion with my agent when I have time.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Madeline’s eyes. “You should really listen to me this time.”
Yohannes looked away mercilessly. “Every piece of work is very important to the artists, and I don’t have that much time to waste.”
Madeline snorted, “Then, why did you ask me if that was
was true? I wasted my time speaking to you in vain. Do you think I’m out to hurt you?”
Yohannes drummed on the table with his finger twice and said, “Is he really handsome?” instead of saying “Does this script really suitable for me?
“It’s time for class. You should focus
Madeline clenched her hand, picked up her belongings, and went to sit next to Harper.

She really didn’t want to humiliate herself.
Just then, a message from Yohannes‘ agent popped up on his phone.
Jasper wrote: [Yohannes, have you considered the script? Which one do you prefer? There is a lot of competition for “Dear Dr. Ross.” Several people have expressed their intention today. It’s impossible for them to wait for you all the time, so you should make up your mind as soon as possible.]
Yohannes replied without hesitation.
[Fake Confessions“]
On the other end of the phone, Jasper frowned. He had already told Yohannes that “Fake Confessions” was not even B class because of its low funds.
He thought, “Yohannes is acting weird, Why did he have to pick this one? There is no one asking about this play. There are so many good things in the past few days, and it’s unnecessary to choose this one.”
He was about to persuade Yohannes to think again when he saw the message sent from there.
Yohannes wrote: [Ill invest 2 million dollars.]
Jasper frowned and thought, “Yohannes‘ normally so stone–hearted. I wonder what moved Yohannes?”
He clearly remembered that in order to ask Yohannes to visit Diana’s company a few days ago, he had to bend over and beg him relentlessly.
The phone vibrated as another message arrived.
Yohannes wrote: [Choose the best female supporting role and leave it empty. I have someone in mind.]
