?Chapter 1710:


    The celebration party proceeded as nned. It was lively and full ofughter and clinking sses. As the sky darkened, the energy only grew.


    Hadley and Draper, being the stars of the show, drew everyone’s attention. With Elvin and Adonis keeping pace, they stayed on their feet, caught in a rhythm of cheers, chats, and smiles.


    When it was time to eat, someone from the crew called out, “The buffet area is open for dining!”


    “Thanks to Mr. Bernard and Mr. Faulkner for hosting!” another voice chimed in.


    “Thank you, Mr. Bernard and Mr. Faulkner!” the crowd echoed enthusiastically.


    Atst, Hadley had a moment to breathe. Her stomach grumbled softly. She hadn’t realized how hungry she was until Chelsey appeared with a te in hand.


    Chelsey passed the food to her. “Here, Hadley. Eat.”


    “Thanks.”


    Just as she took a bite, Elvin walked over.


    “Hadley.”


    “Mr. Webster.”<fn519d> Th?s chapter is updated by FιndＮovel</fn519d>


    The two exchanged smiles.


    Earlier, the crowd had made it impossible for them to have a proper conversation.


    “It’s been a while,” Elvin began. “I wasn’t sure you’de tonight. Anyway…”


    There was something he needed to bring up.


    “Now that filming’s done, we’re moving into post-production. The drama’s already been picked up by TV stations and streaming tforms even while we were still shooting. Promotion’sing up soon.”


    Since Hadley was the lead, it made sense that Elvin wanted her to be part of the promotion.


    “There’ll probably be some activities. You know, variety shows, interviews, and press events. Are you okay with all that?”


    Every story unfolds at gα?ησν????s．??????


    Hadley frowned slightly. “Why wouldn’t I be? Don’t worry. I’ll be there for the promotions.”


    “It’s not that…” Elvin chuckled, realizing she hadn’t picked up on what he was really getting at.


    He lowered his voice slightly and reminded her, “Your situation’s different now. Will Mr. Scott or his father have anything to say about it?”


    After all, the Scott family stood among the elite in Srixby. Maybe they had epted her career in acting, but that did not mean they would wee her being too exposed to the public eye.


    Hearing Elvin’s question, Hadley paused. So that was what he meant.


    “No,” she said, shaking her head. To be honest, she didn’t really care. “This is my career. I make my own choices. Whether Eric likes it or not doesn’t matter much to me.”


    “Hadley…” Elvin narrowed his eyes. He subtly shook his head, trying to warn her without drawing attention.


    “What is it?” she asked, puzzled.
