Chapter 268 Andrew never expected that after squatting in front of the television for so long, he would not see his peak. Instead, he found that the latest episode of Immortal Heroes had deleted two of his most popular highlights. He sent iMessage to ask the director what was going on. It took a while for the director to reply: [The length of the episode needs to be compressed, so we can only cut out those two scenes.] He asked: [Why didn’t you delete other people’s scenes and delete mine? What’s wrong with those two scenes?] The director did not reply to him. He turned around and hugged Zoe. He buried his face in Zoe’s shoulder and cried, “Zoe, I’m so pitiful. My highlighter has been deleted again… I don’t want to act in low-budget idol dramas; I want to be in stylish idol dramas or big male lead series…” He had not joined the cast since filming Immortal Heroes more than three months ago. It was not that he did not have any scenes to film, but he wanted to wait until Immortal Heroes was released and he became a top celebrity before taking on better scenes and increasing his remuneration. During this period of time, he mainly relied on variety shows and filming advertisements to maintain his popularity. It wasn’t easy for him to wait until the summer break to become famous, but this happened. To make matters worse, his agent informed him that he would definitely not be cast as the male lead in the romantic movie or the current popular IP dramas he was interested in. He was advised to choose one or two low-budget idol dramas from the available options to act in. Otherwise, a long period without any screen appearances could negatively impact his market value. He was really devastated. Zoe, who was reading, was annoyed by him. She shook the book in her hand and said, “The book

I’m reading is called Lockwood’s Detective Diary. It’s a very popular detective novel. “The protagonist in the book Lockwood is 18 years old and has a high IQ and good looks. I think this character suits quite well. you “It’s just that the author is very strange. He never shows up and doesn’t lack money. It’s and television rights from him.” very difficult for you to buy the film “Lockwood?” Andrew thought for a moment. “That name is very familiar. I think I heard someone from the mention it before, but detective novels are too difficult to understand. I can’t read it.” company He asked rather innocently, “What did this book say?” Zoe thought to herself, ‘If you continue to be so stupid, your good look won’t be able to save you! She was too lazy to explain to Andrew. She simply explained, “A very smart detective… “Huh? I like it,” Andrew said excitedly before she could finish. “I’ll call the agent now and ask him to contact the author.” When the agent knew what Andrew was thinking, he told Andrew explicitly, “It’s difficult. There are many companies that want to buy the copyright of this book, but the author has never relented. Even if he is willing to relent, the copyright fee will definitely be very high.” “Money makes the world go round!” Andrew disagreed. “As long as we offer a high enough price, I don’t believe he won’t agree. Contact the author. He can name the price. Even 10 million dollars will do.” 1/3 111 10:54 Tue, Oct 22 B B Chapter 268 ཞེས�ི, 55%= Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

+5 The Kennedy family was not short of money. Andrew’s salary and endorsement fees were also very high. He did not believe that he could not win this work. When Isaac and Regina heard this, they could not help but reveal bitter expressions. The Kennedy Group was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Kennedy family was now living off the old money. In recent months, they had to sell their only private jet and two yachts to maintain the luxurious lifestyle of the Kennedy family and cover the costs of reopening Gia’s studio. If Andrew spent about 10 million dollars to buy a copyright, what would they sell? Just thinking about it made their hearts ache. Andrew had never thought that his family would have a financial burden. He reminded his agent, “You must tell the author that the popular Andrew has taken a fancy to his work and wants to act as Lockwood. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.” The next day, when Athena heard from the editor-in-chief of the website that Andrew wanted to buy the film rights to Lockwood’s Detective Diary and star as Lockwood, she almost laughed out loud. She told the editor-in-chief, “He won’t be able to act. Let him give up.” The editor-in-chief was puzzled. “Why can’t he act? I think his age and image are not bad. It’s just that his acting skills might be worrying.” Athena smiled. “It has nothing to do with his acting skills because Lockwood is a girl.” The editor-in-chief exclaimed and almost fell off the ergonomic chair. “Is Lockwood a girl?” “Yeah,” Athena said. “I can’t change Lockwood’s gender unless Andrew undergoes sex reassignment surgery.” The editor-in-chief was speechless. He calmed down and adjusted his glasses. “If Lockwood is a girl, this work is even more interesting. Ms. Donovan, can I leak this information?” Athena smiled. “Sure.” Considering that the name Lockwood Holmes sounded a bit too fanciful, she decided to remove Holmes when the book was officially published. In addition, considering the high requirements and standards for publishing books, she set

Lockwood as a university student and started writing when Lockwood was a sophomore. Her author’s signature on the physical book was also Lockwood, L The editor-in-chief was very happy when he heard this. “Alright, I’ll go reply to Andrew’s agent now.” Following that, he proudly announced on the website and the official Twitter account: [Lockwood has confirmed that Lockwood Holmes is a female character!] After posting it, he replied to Andrew’s agent and conveyed the author’s intentions truthfully. Andrew received the news and was devastated. He hugged Zoe and cried. Zoe could only suppress the urge to roll her eyes and comfort herself in her heart, ‘Looks and intelligence can’t be combined. I’ll endure it… Compared to Andrew’s disappointment, the news that Lockwood was a girl caused a huge uproar online and in the online literary circle. 2/3 10:54 Tue, Oct 22 BB Chapter 268 <3 Joy put down Lockwood’s Detective Diary and muttered to herself, “Lockwood is indeed a girl. I want this role!” She called her assistant and agent and asked him to contact the author of this book, Lockwood. ས � 55% +5 At this moment, Luna had finished her acting guidance for Zayn. She walked to the side of the field and said to Jaden, who was reading, “What are you reading? You’re so engrossed in it.” Jaden closed the book. “Lockwood’s Detective Diary, a very interesting detective novel.” “Then the book must be really interesting.” Luna’s interest was piqued. “I’ll get Lindsey to buy it now and read it properly.” “This book is out of stock. You can’t buy it for the time being.” Jaden shook his head. “I’ve already seen the online version. This book is for you.”

“Thank you.” Luna smiled. “Let’s go to Donovan’s Restaurant for dinner. It’s my treat.” As soon as she got into the car, she couldn’t wait to flip through the book. The more she read, the more fascinated she became. Then, she felt a strong urge. “This role is too interesting. I want to play this role!” SEND GIFT *
