Yates’s eardrums were about to burst from his mother’s shouting.
“Mom, calm down. Doesn’t your throat hurt from yelling like that?”
“I’ll calm down when you do something about this. Hurry up and figure it out.”
“Alright, alright.”
Only then did Mrs. Bryant hang up.
Meanwhile, Timothy was moving fast—he’d already pushed out a string of trending social media posts.
On top of that, since the advance screening, plenty of critics had started to weigh in with their reviews.
The Zimmerman Group’s marketing team was going full throttle, following the original publicity plan to the letter, and soon the movie was dominating the charts.
Everyone was buzzing about the premiere on the fourth.
Yates sat in deep thought.
It had only been a single day of advance screenings, but the hype had already exploded. Timothy was willing to pour money into this without hesitation.
If Yates tried to do the same, it would be pointless.
Vince had already called him about theater screenings—he’d handled everything in advance, not just at their own Starlight Grand Theater, but with other partner chains as well.
Yates had seen the film. With years of experience investing in this industry, he could almost guarantee it would be a hit. For a movie like this, the big theater chains would naturally increase showings, giving it an even better shot at blowing up.
So, there really wasn’t anything left for him to do on that front.
Timothy’s speed was impressive, though.
If only he’d shown Jessica this much care and support earlier, maybe their marriage wouldn’t have fallen apart.
Vince probably realized the same thing. His earlier outburst was just a flash of anger—he hadn’t truly meant to push Jessica and Vince together. Now that he’d cooled off, he had no intention of making Yates do anything.
Vince stood up. “I’m heading to bed.”

Just let Jessica divorce that scumbag so she can begin anew. Gosh! All that nonsense with that guy was so unnecessary....
Finally someone teaching Henry a lesson...
Any new updates. Please please let Jessica finally have a new life with her long lost family...
Wow .... finally!...
The plot of this novel is like an elevator. Its up then down, then up to be back to down again after. Same story. No interesting twists, always the same... naive Jessica, villain Timothy, so when can we have a refresher?...
