All Chapters of Skeletons Of The Marital Closet: Chapter 1671 - Chapter 1680

Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Ivy is an artist under your company, right? How long is her contract period?"An agent replied, "Twenty years."Simon nodded repeatedly, boasting, "Yes. Mr. Wood, you can rest assured. Ivy has always followed the company's rules and regulations, and her contract period is long enough. We will keep a close eye on her, ensuring no negative news comes out!"Essentially, an actor's prime years were spent with a talent agency. With a contract in place, many things were not within Ivy's control.Shawn said nonchalantly, "Your company is the largest talent agency in the entertainment industry. You boast numerous A-list artists.""Yeah we're doing fine, but it's not worth comparing to your company," replied Simon."In your company, what tier of an actress is Ivy?" The entire private room fell silent. The entertainment industry was particular about rankings. The order of names in a TV series or the prominence of names on a poster were important details.Stars we

It sounded like a threat and then promised a reward. Shawn used the stick and the carrot. It all depended on how Simon would react. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.He had two choices. He could transfer Ivy's management contract to the Wood Group as a favor to Shawn. In the future, Mr. Wood might remember this favor and grant them business.However, this would mean the agency would lose an artist. The industry was highly competitive, and it was challenging for newcomers to make a breakthrough. Growing a celebrity requires the right time, place, people, and a lot of luck. Some management companies struggled for years without producing a single celebrity, while others relied entirely on the profits brought by a single well-known celebrity, enough to sustain the entire company.Simon could also choose to reject Shawn's request, keeping Ivy's contract. The endorsement could be discussed later, and if Mr. Wood liked Ivy so much, he would still choose her. However, it would undo

These paparazzi were unlike the ones who had secretly photographed Nicole the last time. They specialize in the entertainment industry. They were good at stirring up scandals from mere angles and clever photography tricks. They strategically choose moments that evoke fantasies and cause trouble.For example, when Shawn handed over the coat, or Ivy put it on, Shawn instinctively raised his hand to adjust the hem.The paparazzi intentionally twisted his lens and blurred the background. From the photos, it looked like Shawn personally put his blazer on Ivy."Mr. Wood, wearing your clothes back to the room will make things even more weird." Ivy sighed. "All they know is dinners where mutual benefits are arranged. They will undoubtedly think that we're in such a relationship."She did not mind, though. She was single and did not have a boyfriend or husband. However, Mr. Wood was different. He had a family and children.Shawn retorted, "Do you think we'll go back?"Ivy thought about it

"Well, best wishes to you," Shawn said. With that, he took a step forward. "Fiona will contact you tomorrow. Goodbye."He had done what he needed to. Fiona would take over now.Shawn just had to show up to the extent he was needed. The agency had a firm grasp on their talents, so he needed to show up to sort that out."Mr. Wood! Let me see you off!"It was a small gesture. She could not do more for him anyway. He lacked nothing, and what he lacked, she could not give.Ivy adjusted her jacket. She caught a whiff of Mr. Wood's faint, yet refreshing cologne.Shawn did not even stop. "No need."He just wanted to get home quickly. If Gale were not back yet by nightfall... well, then he would have to go fetch her himself. Being a mother, how could one play so carefreely and not look at the time? What time was it anyway?Shawn continued walking ahead while Ivy hurriedly trailed behind.How could she let Mr. Wood walk alone?"Wait for me, Mr. Wood… Ah!"Before Ivy could finish her s

If Shawn could change his mind naturally, it would take even less effort on Aurum's part."Alright. You did well," Aurum said."As long as you're satisfied, I feel good." The paparazzi grinned. "If there's anything like this again, feel free to call me anytime!"Aurum asked, "Have you seen me before?"The paparazzi hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded, "No, I haven't. I've never seen you before. I don't even know what you look like. We're just strangers.""Good. Keep your mouth shut. If you breathe a word of it...""I promise I won't! I have professional ethics! You can trust me!"Aurum nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.He was in high spirits.He hoped Shawn would fall for Ivy. It would work out well. Shawn with a female star, and he would have Gale. He would not need to break them up then.As the night progressed, Shawn was driving back home.His phone rang."Hello?"Nicole's complaining voice came through. "Daddy, why aren't you home yet?""I'
