Chapter 18 He Was Reluctant to Let Her Go
Before leaving, Todd said, "Jocelyn, I'll come to you tomorrow! Tammy, daddy is leaving. I'll bring you yummy food tomorrow!"
"Thank you daddy, see you tomorrow!"
Tammy waved delightedly. She liked this dad who had bought her lots of delicious food and toys. It was so great!
In her mind, anyone bought her din-dins could be her dad.
There was nothing bad to have more than one dad. She hoped to have more dads, then she would get more din-dins.
After dinner, Calvin went upstairs without saying a word.
Jocelyn bathed the kids and took them to bed. After they fell asleep, she went back to the bedroom.
Calvin leaned against the bedside, reading a book. Jocelyn went in. After hesitating, she plucked up her courage and said.
"Mr. Austin, I want to explain that I met Todd today. And I didn't know he is the dad of Jeffrey and Tammy. So I signed that contract with you. I didn't mean to hide or deceive you. Please trust me!"
"What are you going to do now? Do you want to go with him or stay?"
Calvin put down his book and looked up at her.
If they had not signed the contract and got the marriage certificate, things might not have become so complicated.
Knowing that she was his cousin's woman and his cousin was the dad of the kids, he would surely let them go and send blessings.
But now, from the moment she became his "wife", he was reluctant to let her go.
"I'll stay. We have signed the contract. I won't break my word."
She had to get the 12 million dollars first anyway. Otherwise, if she divorced, she would become a divorced woman and wouldn't get even a cent. She was not that silly.
Hearing her words, Calvin felt a burst of joy. However, he didn't show it but said seriously, "I gave you the chance, and you made the choice. I hope you can make it clear to Todd. Otherwise, he might blame me for snatching his wife and children."
"I will. I will deal with it. He won't blame you. It's only a six-month contract. After six months, the contract will be terminated."
Jocelyn made up her mind to talk to Todd when met him again.
If he could accept it and was willing to wait for her for six months, she would go to him with the kids.
But if he couldn't accept it, there would be nothing she could do!
She received a message from Veronica saying that Icehive Entertainment didn't change the time of the new film press conference. Ernest didn't change the time, but was trying to find the source of the new film.
After lying down, Jocelyn kept thinking about it. The source of the new film had been destroyed by her son. If Ernest held the press conference, wasn't he cheating the public?
Since he dared to do so, Jocelyn should give him a lesson tomorrow!
...
The new film of Icehive, "The Phoenix Queen", was being promoted on all major portals.
Online media were also following up on the progress of the press conference of "The Phoenix Queen".
Ernest suppressed the news of the internal chaos of Icehive and the theft of the source of new film well. It was not exposed.
At eight in the morning, the largest conference hall of the five-star hotel had been arranged as the scene of the press conference of The Phoenix Queen.
The investors, main creators and main actors of "The Phoenix Queen" were all here. And all the media had gathered here, waiting for the press conference.
Meanwhile, in the backstage lounge, Ernest, the producer, received a call from his subordinate. Being told that they didn't find Jocelyn, he was so angry that he broke the glass on the table.
"Crash..." The glass shattered, but his hatred was not dispelled.
It was his carelessness that allowed Jocelyn to get the chance and destroyed his efforts.
It was also Jocelyn that led to his dilemma today, and many plans had to be shelved.
"Ernest, it's all that bitch's fault. What should we do now? If we can't find the source, should we cancel the press conference?"
Theresa had got Ernest's forgiveness. Under such circumstances, they united to fight against Jocelyn together.
Ernest chose to forgive Theresa not because he loved her so much, but because Theresa held a lot against him and he dared not annoy her.
More importantly, Theresa was pregnant!

After calming down, a vicious color flashed through Ernest's eyes.
Since that bitch, Jocelyn, didn't die and dared to find fault, she wouldn't hide forever.
She had the ability to destroy Icehive easily. How could she do that? Ernest wondered if she had found herself a backer.
Who was the hacker behind her?
Since she dared to do so, she must have the last source as a chip. Thus, only by finding her could he get it back.
Now he just needed to think about how to find Jocelyn and get it back from her. As long as he could find it back before the release, he could recover the losses.
As the press conference started, the female lead in the film, Theresa came up to the stage with other main actors. After the interview, Ernest was also invited to the stage and received the interview.
...
At the same time, a luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the gate of the hotel. And as soon as Jocelyn got off the car, she attracted the attention of everyone outside.
Jocelyn was in a bright V-neck long dress. With her long hair tied up high, several strands of hair hung down on both sides of her cheeks. Her delicate and beautiful face was covered by a pair of sunglasses, revealing her gorgeous red lips and perfect chin. There was a strong queen's air around her.
Seeing such an elegant and beautiful lady accompanied by professional bodyguards, the reporters thought she was one of the guests being invited or a star. So they all began to take photos of her.
Jocelyn smiled at the camera, refused all interviews and walked into the press conference under the protection of the bodyguards.
An invitation was needed to enter the press conference. Jocelyn had got one from Veronica last night. After showing the invitation, Jocelyn walked in straight.
On the stage of the press conference, Ernest, dressed in a suit, was answering questions from reporters.
Looking at that familiar but strange face, Jocelyn had a complex feeling. She remembered all the things in the past.
She debuted when she was a child. She had always been the hottest super star. It was admitted that she had a supernatural power. Every male star who had worked with her would become a super star, even for a nobody.
