CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 444

Alyssa scanned the comments and found that most of them were about the second part of the Lost City.

There were also some comments that were immediately refuted by others when they came out.

Alyssa turned off her phone and cleaned up the tableware. She planned to call Emmett later and ask about Angela's situation.

Just as she put away the tableware, her phone rang.

A string of unfamiliar phone numbers flashed up on the screen.

There were many unfamiliar numbers that had called her these few days. Alyssa only took a glance and answered the phone, "Hello."

There was a slightly familiar female voice on the other end of the phone. "Are you Alyssa?"

Alyssa heard this voice and paused for a moment before saying, "Amelia?"

"Is it really you?" Amelia's tone could not hide her surprise. "Your news have been everywhere these few days. I thought it was just a gimmick. I did not expect it to really be you!"

Amelia had been very optimistic about Alyssa's script back then.

When "Lost City" was finished shooting, she originally wanted to ask Alyssa to participate in the wrap- up banquet. In the end, it was impossible for her to find Alyssa at that time. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Alyssa didn’t attend the banquet, but after the "Lost City" went online and the number of broadcasts rose rapidly like a rocket, Amelia still could not contact Alyssa.

Alyssa seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no news of her at all.

During these three years, Amelia had also been paying attention to Alyssa's news. When she found that a new post was shared on Alyssa’s Weibo, she still did not quite believe that it was Alyssa herself.

So, after she observed for a few days and confirmed that she was really Alyssa herself, she then called Alyssa.

Alyssa still had a kind feeling towards Amelia. She smiled and said, "It's me. I've been back for a while."

"Then let’s meet sometime." Amelia said.

"Sure. I have nothing to do recently anyway."

Amelia was a very capable person. After hearing what Alyssa said, she directly said, "If you have nothing to do, how about we meet today?"

Alyssa also agreed, "Sure."

Alyssa and Amelia arranged to meet at a high-class restaurant.

This restaurant was opened by people in the entertainment industry. There were often some people in the entertainment industry who came here to spend money.

Compared to three years ago, Amelia appeared more outstanding and capable and even more beautiful.

When she saw Alyssa, she hurriedly walked over and looked carefully at Alyssa. "I feel that you have not changed for the past three years."

Alyssa sincerely said, "You are even more beautiful."

"I am sick of hearing this kind of words. I did not expect you to be so hypocritical that you praise me the moment you see me." Amelia said with a look of disdain.

After she finished speaking, she pulled Alyssa to sit down.

The two of them began to chat.

"Where have you been for the past three years? It's like you disappeared from the world. There's no news of you at all." Amelia could not help but shake her head, when she remembered that there was no news of Alyssa when she was looking for the later.

"I had an accident. And I have been lying on bed for three years." Alyssa casually explained her situation of these three years.

Amelia widened her eyes wide. "You've been lying in bed for three years?! What happened?"

"Are you curious?" Alyssa raised her eyebrows and looked at her. "But I won't tell you what happened."

Amelia snorted and changed the topic. She said, "Do you know that Lost City has become a smash hit? The fans are all looking forward to the second series. What do you think?"

Alyssa shook the cup of water in front of her and said with a smile, "I don't have any thoughts."

Amelia stared at Alyssa for a few seconds and said in a compromising manner, “Tell me, how much do you want?"

When she bought Alyssa's script previously, she knew that Alyssa was definitely not the one who suffered a loss.

Alyssa was a very thoughtful person.

"Lost City" was very popular. Even after two years of broadcasting, it was still remembered by so many fans.

Amelia was the producer and Alyssa was the scriptwriter. Who did not want to take advantage of this popularity to shoot some more of this series and earn a lot more?

Alyssa just said that she did not have any thoughts. In fact, she was waiting for Amelia to take the initiative to speak.

Alyssa smiled slightly and looked especially gentle. "It depends on how generous you are."

Amelia's mouth twitched. Alyssa was digging a hole for her to jump into.

Alyssa herself did not say how much money she wanted but waited for Amelia to take the initiative. So Alyssa had seized the initiative.

In the past, she had thought that Alyssa was a cunning person but now she felt that Alyssa had become even more shrewd.

"I suspect that you did not lie in the hospital for the past three years but have been improving yourself. Why are you becoming more and more cunning?" Amelia said snappily.

Alyssa pursed her lips slightly and said, "I will take this as a compliment from you."

Amelia pulled the corner of her mouth and immediately straightened her expression. Her tone also became exceptionally serious, "In order to show my sincerity, I can give you this money for the last series of ‘Lost City’."

As she spoke, she raised a hand.

Alyssa's heart did not move and she asked with uncertainly, "How much?"

Amelia slightly raised her chin and said with a serious expression, "Five million."

Alyssa's hand that was holding the cup paused slightly.

Five million was very out of her expectations.

Amelia earned a lot of money from ‘Lost City’. But she signed a contract with Alyssa back then, and

paid one million to buy out the copyright.

And in order to obtain the second part of "Lost City," Amelia was actually willing to give her another five million from the profit of the first part.

She was already full of sincerity.

Alyssa did not immediately open her mouth to speak. Amelia was not sure what she meant either.

Although Alyssa was a few years younger than her and was just a young girl who had just started out, Amelia sometimes felt that Alyssa's thoughts were deep and hard to figure out.

However, Alyssa also had a good point, which was that she was sincere.

It was precisely because of this that Amelia did not beat around the bush with her and directly said the greatest sincerity that she could give.

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds and Amelia was the first to say, "This is my sincerity. You can consider it."

Alyssa did not answer her question directly and only asked, "How do you plan to sign the contract with me for the second part of Lost City?"

Amelia's face revealed a smile, "As long as you are willing to sell it to me, everything can be discussed."

Alyssa also smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Amelia was very serious in her work and Alyssa did not think of selling the second part of the Lost City to others from the beginning.

Even if other people would pay more than Amelia, they might not be able to produce better works than Amelia's team.

At least if she sold the script to Amelia, the script would not be buried.

Alyssa and Amelia discussed the plot of "Lost City." The two of them separated after lunch.

That afternoon, Amelia transferred five million to Alyssa’s card.

After Alyssa received the money, she naturally began to study the plot of the next series. She immediately searched the "Lost City" online and intended to watch it.
