Chapter 14
Now that she had decided on a fresh start, she should go all in
Tomorrow, she’d go to the hospital first and then talk to Jeremiah Conway about the music show.
***
Soon, it was the next day.
Stephanie drove to the hospital. She had already made an appointment with the doctor.
Jeremiah called her before she arrived at the hospital’s parking lot.
He was the CEO of Conway Entertainment, the biggest entertainment company in town. It was backed by the Conway Group, which was just as formidable as the Humphrey Group.
As the third son of the Conway family, he was currently in charge of the entertainment business.
Before marrying Maxwell, Stephanie had been one of Conway Entertainment’s artists.
Maxwell had wanted her to take care of Leonard after getting married. Knowing Leonard didn’t have many days left, she had agreed and stopped making public appearances.
Hated to see her talent go to waste, Jeremiah had suggested that she compose under the pseudonym “Daphne“. Thi ay, she could at least maintain her profile in the industry. What if she wanted to make a comeback one day?

Due to Maxwell’s status, she had signed an NDA with Jeremiah, who represented Conway Entertainment.
They were the only two people who knew she was Daphne.
Back then, she had been so overjoyed at becoming Maxwell’s wife that
she had never even considered making a comeback.
But as it turned out, Jeremiah had always been the wise one.
She pulled over and answered Jeremiah’s call.
“Jeremiah?” she said, puzzled.
They were scheduled to meet in the afternoon. Why was he calling her now?
“Daphne, could you come over now?” Jeremiah sounded torn.
She keenly noticed something off.
He had seldom called her “Daphne“.
“What’s up?” she asked.
She had already made an appointment with the doctor and didn’t want to cancel it unless it was something really urgent.
“Someone wants to buy your latest song,” Jeremiah explained with hesitation. “They wanna meet you in person.”
She frowned slightly, feeling even weirder.
“You can deal with it.” she said.
She had always had Conway Entertainment manage her songs. Besides, Jeremiah was the CEO. Why would he call her over such a trivial matter?

“The buyer is a bit unusual,” he said.
After a few seconds, he braced himself and said, “It’s Roxanne.”
What?
She was surprised.
Why would Roxanne, a florist, want to buy her song?
He continued, “It’s a bit complicated.
“I turned her down when she expressed her interest, but she showed up here directly with…”
After a slight pause, he said, “With Maxwell by her side. They won’t leave without getting it.”
Stephanie was slightly stunned, thinking, “Maxwell is there with Roxanne?”
