Chapter 371
Michael rushed to the apartment once Dahlia told him she finally arrived at her villa in Michigan two days after escaping. She implored Michael to tell Kate about the whole plan and bring her to Michigan for better safety.
He unlocked the apartment door and saw Mai and Kate busy with their laptops in the living room. They had busied themselves since yesterday to start checking all the novel drafts sent by the authors who had worked with Kate before.
Many of them were great, but Kate made sure that she only picked those who had more connection with HER rather than the Emperor Publishing.
"We should find someone like Irene Banks, right?" Mai asked while her eyes were still glued to the laptop screen.
"Yes, I already contacted Irene Banks about it, and she said she would send her new story to me. But she can’t send the sequel of her previous book because it’s tied to Emperor Publishing."
"That’s a pity. I wish we could contract Irene Banks with her ongoing story, but I believe she can create another hit," Mai said.
"Oh, she will," Kate chuckled lightly. "I’ve read the draft of her new story. With enough promotion, I guarantee it will turn into a hit movie."
Michael stood at the door while staring at Mai and Kate.
He sighed in awe, seeing how excited they were to break free from Marlon.
’That’s right. I’m here to protect them. So I have to do the job well so they won’t get hurt again,’ Michael reminded himself. ’This... is the closest I can have as a family after my real family was ruined by that old crook years ago.’
Michael knocked on the door to alert them, and Kate was the first one to respond, "Oh, welcome home, Michael. Where have you been? Mai said she’s worried about you. She thought you’d leave her."
