After much effort, Yvonne finally calmed down. She fished out her phone and called Jessica. "You need to submit your work as soon as possible."
Jessica asked, "Why?"
Yvonne took a deep breath before explaining, "I want to promote your work as soon as possible to prove to Zane that my judgment is correct!"
Jessica perceptively picked up on Yvonne's bad mood. "He still wants you to prioritize Annalise's work?"
"No." Yvonne's expression gradually turned fierce. "He won't even allow me to see him in his office."
Jessica didn't know how to respond to that.
Yvonne snorted. "I believe that if I produce a hit comic, he'll definitely recognize my abilities and might even come to me on his own!"
Jessica stayed silent for a moment, then responded, "I'll get started now."
"Alright." Yvonne hung up the phone, feeling somewhat better.
…
Zane planned to have Willow interact with her grandparents first, so he called Willow's grandfather.
"Oh, Zane."
Willow's maternal grandfather was Milton Johnson. He was only in his early 50s, but his voice sounded incredibly worn. "To be honest, if you hadn't contacted us, we were thinking of reaching out to you. I heard your mother wants you to get married."
Zane didn't know how and when this news reached their ears. "Yes."
Milton asked with a smile, "Then, you won't have time to take care of Willow anymore, right? Why not send Willow to stay with us?"
After all, Willow was Milton's daughter's only child, and he and his wife loved her, too.
Zane didn't give a straight answer. Instead, he stated, "Willow can now communicate with me normally."
