Chapter 1464 - 1454: Who Knows How Many Men Covet His Treasure
To purchase a gift for Leah Squire and Richard Shaw’s wedding, Chloe Winston spent four hundred thousand and felt the pinch for several days. Fortunately, she finally picked a good movie and signed the contract. Kyla Zamora then secured an endorsement deal for her, giving her some relief.
The last brand endorsement was completed just as negative news surrounded her, causing the brand to delay entering the Inland Territory market and even consider other spokespeople. But within just a few months, Chloe Winston became popular again. As the only brand endorsement she took on the market, the brand was overjoyed, quickly launching the previously shot endorsement ad, and aggressively entered the Asian market.
They rented the most prominent shop signage, promoted everywhere, and even aired the ad on major satellite channels. For a time, Chloe Winston’s immense popularity swiftly pushed the product into the Inland Territory market, earning them great profits.
Chloe Winston’s endorsement fee suddenly rose to a new height. Kyla Zamora secured another endorsement deal for her, this time for a European jewelry brand, which was not well-known in the Inland Territory. It was a relatively low-key brand but very famous in Europe.
Upon learning that she was attending an important wedding banquet, they directly proposed sponsoring her with a complete set of jewelry, the limited edition "Starry Sky" they were featuring this year.
When Little Autumn delivered the sponsored jewelry, Chloe Winston had just woken up. Having been running to the mall every day recently and coupled with high-intensity filming, once the TV series wrapped up, the gift was bought, and the jewelry was sponsored, Chloe Winston suddenly relaxed, overslept, and by the time she woke up, it was already time for lunch.
"Little Autumn, how come you’re here so early?" Chloe Winston, dressed in a daisy-embroidered blouse and soft, loose pants, went downstairs and saw Little Autumn standing in the side hall. Surprised, she said, "Sit down, why are you standing? Have you eaten yet?"
"Sis, I’m here to deliver S House’s sponsored jewelry for you to try on, and also tomorrow’s wedding banquet dress, borrowed from J House, who is interested in collaborating with us." Little Autumn’s calves trembled slightly, her gaze continually drifting to the left, her voice shaky.
Chloe Winston followed her gaze to see Constantine Stewart sitting on the sofa watching TV, and couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Constantine Stewart watching TV?
She went straight to the dining table, poured herself a glass of water, and invited Little Autumn over, saying, "Join us for lunch later, let me take a look at the jewelry."
Little Autumn quickly took the jewelry out of the bag, lined them up, and seeing Chloe Winston absorbed in looking at the jewelry, secretly poked her. Sister Chloe hadn’t even noticed that the TV was playing the ad from her first brand endorsement, and Constantine had been replaying it for half an hour without a word, with an eerie look in his eyes, which was a little scary.
"I’m watching, don’t poke me. I’ll try the dress later and then see how the jewelry looks." Seeing the sponsored jewelry, Chloe Winston exclaimed in awe.
S House’s "Starry Sky" jewelry series is inspired by Van Gogh’s masterpiece, abandoning the traditional jewelry glitz, with a design that’s modern and bold. The centerpiece of the Starry Sky necklace is a massive red diamond surrounded by dazzling starry diamonds, beautiful enough to drive women crazy.
"It’s so beautiful; just wearing this one piece is enough. I’m afraid I can’t carry more." Chloe Winston’s eyes shone as she looked at the entire set of jewelry.
Constantine, who kept watching the ad, snorted coldly upon hearing this. It’s just a sponsored piece of jewelry. Is there a shortage of jewelry in the home safe? Each piece is a treasure, yet she’s never been this excited.
Filming such revealing ads is one thing, but wearing jewelry sponsored by others... Constantine Stewart tossed the remote onto the table with a "clack," catching the attention of the two young women.
Little Autumn’s face blanched, and she poked Chloe Winston, whispering, "Your ad, the bathroom scene one."
Chloe Winston was stunned for a moment, realizing that Constantine was watching the ad she filmed. The TV screen was frozen on her face, causing her to feel strange. Her cheeks felt slightly warm. A bathroom scene, huh?
"Little Autumn, let’s go upstairs to try the dress." After speaking, Chloe Winston couldn’t help but swallow.
Little Autumn quickly nodded and fled upstairs with the dress.
Constantine watched as she took her assistant upstairs, and then watched the ad once more before expressionlessly turning off the TV. The ad had been airing for a month now; he usually didn’t watch ads. Ever since returning from the holiday village, where even birds avoid laying eggs, Constantine hadn’t gone out much, only to find out today, when he went out, that his own Chloe Winston was everywhere. Even if he withdrew the TV ad now, what needed to be seen had already been seen.
So, the entire nation has seen his ex-wife’s beautiful bathroom shot, which was initially his exclusive privilege!
The more Constantine thought about it, the worse his face looked. Although the filming angle was beautifully dreamy and only flashed briefly, Chloe Winston wasn’t even exposed, just showing a fragrant shoulder. But such subtlety invited more imagination, thinking about how many men were coveting his treasure, was like having a piece of cotton stuffed in a man’s psychology.
Constantine’s face remained unpleasant the rest of the day, and Chloe Winston, perceiving his strange mood, didn’t provoke him any further. After trying the dress, she nestled in her room reading scripts.
The new project she accepted is a film adaptation of a famous youth novel, "Birds and Leaves," by her favorite author from her teenage years. This work is a classic of that era but has never been adapted for screen due to its short length and high filming difficulty. Only when Hong Kong director Wei Wen took the helm did it proceed to filming.
Chloe Winston’s recent popularity has been exceptional. Coupled with her young age and natural charisma, the opposing side invited her to play one of the female leads.
Indeed, it is a dual female lead youth film.
Chloe Winston only glanced through the script and was already excitedly nodding. Previously, she set aside many scripts, rejecting them all.
Film production starts three days later, right after the Shaw Family wedding.
The next day is Leah Squire and Richard Shaw’s wedding. Constantine Stewart, due to needing to help out, woke Chloe Winston up early.
"Delphine Carter and Ignatius Leclair arrived in the Imperial City yesterday. We’ll go early, and you can chat with Delphine Carter. Once the guests arrive, you might not even have time to talk." Constantine’s face looked slightly better than yesterday, but he still didn’t smile much. He looked very serious and formal, dressed in his most formal attire this year, in a suit and tie, making him appear even more handsome. A man in his thirties looks even more appealing than young men in their early twenties.
Chloe Winston nodded. Delphine, her sisterly friend, would likely not have time to catch up today.
In the morning, they rushed through breakfast, changed into the dress, and applied light makeup, while Constantine was urging. After Chloe Winston got in the car, she suddenly realized—they were from two separate families, so what does going together to attend the wedding banquet mean?
