Trevor already found Sophia unbearable. With his flirtatious nature, how long could <b>a </b>marriage with zero emotional ties keep him in check? Once Trevor’s true colors showed <b>again</b>, Sophia would be the one panicking.
It was obvious what Sophia was counting <b>on </b>to keep her ce in the Wilson family.
However, what if Trevor managed to keep himself in check just because he was a public figure? No big deal. Aubree would just set up the perfect <b>trap </b>for <b>him</b>. After all, a leopard <b>can’t </b><b>change </b>its spots, <b>and </b>guys like Trevor were always way too sure <b>of </b>
themselves.
Aubree couldn’t rush things with Trevor just yet. For now, Aubree had to get Kurtis to hook him up with some pro paparazzi to tail him, hoping to dig up even more dirt she could <b>use </b>against Trevor,
Now that GrabCheap was up and running, and with Birgitte steering the <b>ship</b>, Aubree had nothing to worry about there. It was time to step on the gas with Zappy.
Zappy’s short videos received widespread acim as soon <b>as </b>it wasunched. With Aubree teaming up with Peace Entertainment and getting <b>a </b>head start by grooming influencers to ze new trails, the tform’s growth elerated like crazy. Zappy’s downloads soared past a hundred million, but <b>that </b><b>still </b>wasn’t enough for Aubree.
The domestic market alone couldn’t satisfy Aubree’s ambitions. Aubree was determined to break into the global market next.
It was time to put the entertainment projects she’d nned with Kurtis on the agenda. The web novel market was basically saturated, <b>but </b>the mini drama market was exploding like never before. Kurtis had made a fortune. When Aubree made a suggestion, he agreed without <b>a </b>second thought.
Honestly, just the recent sess of GrabCheap was enough for him to trust Aubreepletely. He’d blindly follow her lead wherever she went.
Now, whenever Kurtis remembered <b>how </b>he once <b>thought </b>Aubree was just <b>a </b><b>stand</b><b>–</b>in for Bowen, he felt downright embarrassed. Thinking <b>that </b>way <b>was </b>honestly an <b>insult </b>to <b>Aubree</b>. To be fair, Aubree was a hundred, no, <b>a </b>thousand times. better than Cordelia.
Seriously, Bowen’d have to be blind if he actually liked Cordelia over Aubree.
When it came to the mini drama track Aubree had brought up, Kurtis had a diverse lineup of mini dramas all set and ready tounch.
With the scripts locked in, casting and filming wrapped up<b>, </b>and everything officially approved, they were all set to <b>hit </b>the market.
Aubree said, “First, we need to build strong partnerships with those streaming tforms, and make sure the dedicated free tform for mini dramas <b>I </b>asked you to prepare is ready.
“We’llunch the first batch on Zappy. The first twenty episodes will be free, but after that, viewers will have to pay <b>to </b><b>unlock </b>the rest<b>. </b>
<b>“</b>Once the first batch finishes its <b>run </b>on Zappy, we’ll leverage the viewership numbers to sell the streaming rights to other tforms. As for the third batch, we’ll release it directly on our own free tform.”
Kurtis couldn’t help <b>but </b>whistle in admiration. Aubree knew how to squeeze everyst bit of profit out of <b>a </b>single thing.
She wasn’t even letting the stingiest users off the hook.
“Don’t want to pay? Fine, then spend your time watching ads. I’ll let you watch for free, Kurtis thought, <b>shaking </b>his head with a grin
“Whatever you say,” Kurtis replied.
Meanwhile, Alice <b>was </b>a bundle of nerves in the Wilson family.
She couldn’t sit still, and only when Daxton finally walked in did she lose it. “A worth of hundreds of millions! We’re talking
hundreds of millions here, Daxton.
“How <b>could </b>Aubree possibly deserve all that? What makes <b>her </b>worthy of it<b>? </b>
“Daxton, I overheard your dad and Bryan plotting to bring Aubree <b>back </b>by any means necessary.
“Aubree’s so sessful now. What about Carmen if shees back? She absolutely <b>hates </b>Carmen. If she returns, she’ll <b>find </b>every way she can to bully her<b>.” </b>
Daxton wasn’t in a good mood either. He hadn’t expected Aubree to be that capable. I know, Mom. I do.”
However, knowing was one thing, but doing something about it was <b>hard</b>.
“Mom, let’s not panic. We can’t lose our cool. We need to <b>find </b>out where Dad stands in Carmen right now,” Daxton said.
Alice took <b>a </b>deep breath, trying to <b>calm </b>her nerves. “Okay, I’ll try to sound him out tonight.”
