Yara Reagan took Evelyn Clayton home, and then conveniently called Iris Lockwood.
Iris Lockwood had been busy with Aegis’s affairs recently and hadn’t been in touch with them for a while, but when she heard something happened with Evelyn, she came over quickly.
Upon hearing that John Jacobs had died, Iris Lockwood’s reaction was exactly like Yara Reagan’s.
"He’s really dead?" Iris Lockwood’s eyes widened, "So suddenly?"
Evelyn Clayton didn’t want to discuss this topic any further. She had already calmed down a lot, so she asked, "How is Aegis doing recently?"
"I’ve fired a large number of people, undergoing a major overhaul." Iris Lockwood sighed, "It’s probably not easy to make a profit. It was a small entertainment company to begin with. Even before anything happened, some artists had sensed something was wrong and unilaterally terminated their contracts. Now it’s even more weak and isolated."
After thinking for a long time, an idea struck Evelyn Clayton: "I remember, Nadia Archer is also an artist under Aegis, right? Has she terminated her contract?"
Iris Lockwood was slightly taken aback, then remembered: "Yes. She hasn’t terminated her contract, but Nadia Archer is almost a nobody in the entertainment world now, so it doesn’t make any difference whether she cancels it or not."
Aegis, this entertainment company, is not professional. Under Philip Lockwood’s management, it underwent a transformation for a while in the past couple of years, but it all ended in a fiasco.
But Nadia Archer was different.
Evelyn Clayton remembered that a few years ago, Nadia Archer was popular for a while after starring in a film by a renowned comedy master in the country, although her performance was lacking.
She just hasn’t appeared much in the past two years, seemingly abandoned by Aegis.
Nadia Archer has an excellent figure, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs, and was once jokingly referred to as the most beautiful female comedian.
Such a promising talent, if well managed, might be the key to Aegis’s resurgence.
"Although you’re managing Aegis now, the shares are in my hands, so I’ll say a few more words." Casting aside her earlier listlessness, Evelyn Clayton’s eyes brightened, "Gem’s brand clothing is about to launch, and we need a suitable spokesperson. Aegis also needs a chance to breathe."
Upon hearing this, Iris Lockwood immediately understood, "So you’re suggesting, let Nadia Archer..."
"Exactly." The smile in Evelyn Clayton’s eyes slightly widened, "Her appearance is very suitable, isn’t it? As long as we find the right selling point, we might spark something different."
The two became more excited as they talked, and Yara Reagan helplessly knocked on the table: "Evelyn, I asked Iris Lockwood to come to keep you company, so why are you two talking about work again?"
Iris Lockwood snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Let’s not talk about it now. I’ll discuss it with Nadia Archer when I get back! I’ve managed to retrieve some of the money my dad took, so I can still keep Nadia Archer!"
Evelyn Clayton nodded upon hearing this and couldn’t help but ask, "So, how are Philip Lockwood and Charlotte Sterling doing now?"
"My dad has disappeared." Iris Lockwood’s expression darkened a bit, "Nine times out of ten he’s hiding from creditors. He secretly contacted me a few times, either threatening or tempting me to return the shares to him or insulting me for being ungrateful. As for Mom—"
She paused and glanced at Evelyn Clayton. For original chapters go to novel⁂fire.net
Seeing Evelyn Clayton remain calm, Iris Lockwood continued.
She spoke with a suppressed voice, "Charlotte Sterling, she’s filed for divorce from my dad, and she’s gone abroad."
Evelyn Clayton wasn’t surprised and let out a soft laugh.
She always knew Charlotte Sterling would never let herself suffer.
"Alright, enough about that." Yara Reagan timely interrupted the unpleasant topic, "Iris, why don’t you stay here with Evelyn for a couple of days? The company has been busy, I really don’t have the time."
"As for the spokesperson matter, I’ll leave it to you."
