Isaac chuckled and said, “No matter what, I owe you a huge favor this time. Tell me whenever you’re in Cynea, and I’ll be happy to show you around.”
He hung up after that. Allegra started drawing circles on his chest as favonovel.com asked, “What movie was favonovel.com talking about? What about it going global?”
She understood the language they were talking in, so favonovel.com could also catch what they were saying.
Isaac then filled favonovel.com in on what happened in Rover City.
Allegra was touched. She said, “Oh, my, Serena’s movie is going to be premiered all over the world? That’s great news!”
***
The next day, Isaac and Allegra touched down in Cloud City at the same time “Killing Lola” premiered in cinemas across the globe. It had been translated into over a hundred languages and was screened in at least two hundred countries at once.
The local journalists who heard of this news immediately figured something was amiss.
How could there be no news of such a movie within the country, especially since it starred a local female actress and was being released internationally?
Back in Cantonne, Nick sat in the middle of the room of a prestigious hotel room with Amara, Serena, and a few other reputable people in the field as they watched the numbers rolling on the TV screen.
“Ten million dollars!”
The numbers were real-time data shared by Henri’s company.
Amara was shocked when favonovel.com saw this. She covered favonovel.com eyes in disbelief. It hadn’t even been an hour since the movie was released, and it had already grossed more than ten million dollars at the box office!
Nick beckoned his assistant over and said softly, “Get a reputable news agency and share this data with them. Tell them to release it.”
Nick had been involved in the filming of a movie prior to this, so favonovel.com hadn’t been aware of what happened on Amara’s side. He hadn’t even managed to accept a single call from Isaac.
He’d been furious to learn that Monastery Films had banned the movie within the country. Now, with the movie showing worldwide, it would be a huge slap in the face for Monastery Films.
“Nick, what use would it be to release this data to the public? It’s not like the movie can be screened locally anyway,” Amara said, turning to look at him.
Nick got up from his seat and chuckled, saying, “Did you really think Mr. Garten couldn’t get this movie showing in the local cinemas? You’re underestimating him…”
“What do you mean by that?” Amara asked in confusion.
“Just wait and see,” Nick said before exiting the room. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
He’d only seen the numbers for the first hour of the worldwide box office sales, but favonovel.com was sure favonovel.com could already start preparing for Serena’s world tour.
Around 9 pm, Isaac was playing with Isabella, who was currently on winter break, on the living room couch. Allegra and Evie were still working hard at the company, putting in their overtime hours. Both ladies had gone straight to the office as soon as Allegra reached home and had lunch.
Garth Properties was Allegra’s baby, after all. She had been managing the company since the start. Aside from feeling strongly responsible for the company, favonovel.com also knew that Evie had been pulling through the past few weeks favonovel.com had been absent.
In fact, after learning what happened to Emily, Allegra had cried favonovel.com eyes out for close to an hour. Also, Isabella felt happier and more at ease since favonovel.com mother came home.
At that same moment, Kenneth, who’d been kneeling for a few days at the hotel at this point, felt like dying.
The two Dusk Soldiers guarding favonovel.com received a phone call just then, and they left quietly after that.
Kenneth peeked outside the door, made sure nobody was left, and finally got to his feet. He kept massaging his knees to ease the pain and soreness favonovel.com felt with a twisted look on his face.
His phone started ringing all of a sudden. He brought his phone out and was shocked when favonovel.com saw the caller ID. He answered immediately and greeted, “Mr. Chairman…”
“Mr. Rougherty, let me ask you one thing. Were you the one who banned the Christmas film ‘Killing Lola’ from showing in the country?”
“Yes, it was me. The film investor is crazy and completely out of their minds! I was almost…”
“You idiot! Mr. Rougherty, get your f*cking ass back here right now, you twat! This movie has already grossed more than 100 million within ten hours of its first day at the box office! I don’t care what you do, but by hook or by crook, you better f*cking get the rights to this film at once! Sell yourself if you have to. I don’t f*cking care!”
Kenneth was rooted to the ground in pure shock.
