Chapter 185

Chapter 185:

Carman and Laurie exchanged incredulous looks. Connor’s humiliation had cut so deep that he was willing to offer Delilah thirty percent of the shares as a reward if she managed to succeed.

“I’ll give it my all.” Beneath Delilah’s composed exterior, her heart thrilled with victory. The Edwards family was nothing more than gullible fools, duped by a handful of clever words. Next, it was Nellie’s turn to step up and prove her worth.

Carman’s new song was of exceptional quality, and the company naturally attached great importance to it. They allocated their best resources to ensure the recording was completed at lightning speed, and then they released it online. Countless fans, who had been eagerly waiting for Carman’s new song, were ecstatic when they heard the news.

“Carman’s new song is amazing! I know this will become the song of the year, I can feel it!”

“It took him a while to produce another banger, but it’s well worth the wait! Good things take time, after all. I’ll definitely be putting this song on repeat.”

“What an incredible song! I cried the first time I heard it. It’s so moving. It’s like my own life story was getting told through the music!”

The song started with a somber tone that gradually transitioned into a crescendo. It was made to build up a swell of emotions that exploded during the chorus, so it wasn’t surprising that many listeners were brought to tears.

Almost immediately after the release, fans shared Carman’s new song on every possible platform. Of course, they made sure to include lines upon lines of praise, and it ultimately became one of the top trending topics.

Carman was pleased with this outcome, as were the company’s executives, including Yvonne.

The song was doing so well on the charts that the company decided to organize a fan meeting for Carman. They wanted it to be a lavish affair where he would sing the song live. They were banking on his performance to captivate the entire city and extend the song’s reach worldwide.

“Well, Yvonne? Didn’t I tell you?” Carman was seated on the couch with his legs crossed and a smug look on his face. “I told you my new song would be a hit, and now here we are.”

“Yes, yes, your song sure is a godsend this time around.” Yvonne adjusted her glasses and smiled at him before gracefully taking a spot beside him. She leaned against the armrest and cupped her cheek as she glanced sideways at him. “So? What gift would you like?” She blinked her beautiful eyes at him, and he was instantly captivated by their undeniable allure.

Yvonne had always kept herself well-maintained, so even now, in her thirties, her beauty still rivaled that of the younger stars.

The mature charm she exuded was undeniable. Wearing her gold-rimmed glasses to match her formal blouse and pencil skirt, she carried an air of sophistication that Carman just couldn’t resist.

“What are you trying to do, Yvonne?” Carman rasped, averting his gaze away from her. “Before my new song came out, you weren’t this warm and open to me.”

Yvonne removed her glasses. Her eyes looked even brighter and more enticing without the barrier. “Are you sulking? If I hadn’t pressured you, would you have produced a new song this quickly?” Her smooth, seductive voice was right next to his ear, and the warm breath that fanned the side of his face made Carman bristle.

He swallowed a lump in his throat and cursed under his breath. He was about to make a move when his phone rang.

Carman glanced at the caller ID and frowned.
