Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 89

The woman sounded depressed but Jonas was unmoved by her words. If he was the same guy that he was a couple of years ago, who knew nothing about love, he would have fallen for her tricks. But he was different now.

If Jonas was truly in love with Emily, he wouldn't have remained calm.

"I won't be attending the promotion meeting. I've already arranged everything and I've asked the casting group to prioritize you over others. I'm going to promote you and I've repaid my debt to you as well."

Jonas heaved a sigh of relief and disconnected the call before Emily could say another word. He had been confused about his feelings but he was clear now. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips when he thought of Melinda.

He couldn't wait to see her beautiful face and her magnetic smile that had the power to heal everything.

Melinda was sitting on the small yard of the villa with paintings of Japanese cherry blossoms scattered everywhere.

The faint sunlight bounced off her body, emitting a subtle glow. She looked peaceful as the wind ruffled her hair.

Jonas walked into the yard and looked at Melinda intently, trying to study her expression.

"What made you paint today?"

Melinda jerked when she heard Jonas's voice. The little flaws in the paintings irked Melinda. She glanced at Jonas, crumpled the painting into a ball, and threw it away.

Jonas understood that Melinda was still angry. He knew that it would take some time before she became normal.

Emily's face turned red with anger when Jonas disconnected the call. She gritted her teeth and threw the phone that collided with the floor and shattered into pieces. The assistant flinched and patiently waited for Emily's anger to subside. She quietly picked the pieces and cleaned the floor.

"Miss Bai, we are going for the promotion meeting tonight. Should I call the stylist?" the assistant asked, swallowing her fear.

"Yeah."

Emily was a sensible woman. She decided to make use of the TV show to gain popularity.

After perfecting the makeup and clicking a few pictures of herself, Emily went for the promotion meeting with the crew. Once the meeting was over, Emily attended the party. She found that almost all the investors were present, except for Jonas.

Emily's boss also attended the party to greet the director.

"Oh, I need to thank Emily for making a huge investment for my play. This play would not have possible without the investment of, 30 million dollars, by Soaring Group. I would like to propose a toast to Emily."

The director grinned, raised the glass of wine, and downed the contents in one big gulp. Emily took a sip of the drink as her boss eyed her with confusion.

The director inched forward. "What's the relationship between Emily and Jonas? He's always there to support her," he asked, whispering in the boss's ear.

The boss didn't have an answer to his question, so he smiled awkwardly.

Emily was distracted during the party but she felt that it was a great chance to show off that she played a big role in Jonas's life.

She intentionally made vague statements about their relationship, giving a chance for the media to cook up interesting stories. Emily's plan seemed to work as the information piqued the interest of her company's PR department.

The next day, news and gossip about Emily flooded on Weibo.

"Why did Soaring Group invest thirty million dollars on a TV show?"

"Are Emily Bai and Jonas Gu the new hottest couple?"

"Childhood sweethearts who have taken the internet by storm."

The PR department of the company that Emily worked for drafted numerous copies about Emily and Jonas. The company deliberately mentioned the thirty million dollars that Jonas had invested and thanked him for extending his support to Emily.

The PR department did a commendable job in crafting sensational news about Jonas and Emily. They made sure to add public opinion to the stories. They would churn Emily's ambiguous statements into juicy articles.

The news about Emily and Jonas was one of the top ten pieces of sensational news.

Emily was a famous star, and Jonas was the mysterious heir of Soaring Group. They were the talk of the town and everyone wanted to find out who Jonas was.

Emily had taken the internet by storm. Her fans, haters, and just about everyone seemed to talk about her probable relationship with Jonas.

Everyone began to look for interesting gossip about Emily and her fame rose to another level.

The company was happy with the result and the operational department had made an exclusive plan to increase Emily's fame in China.

Emily's house was besieged by reporters. They didn't spare Soaring Group either. Fortunately, they didn't gather around the Gu's mansion.

Many entertainment programs began to invite Emily as their guest.

Her agent specifically asked Emily to attend a popular program that could potentially lift her stardom.

William was worried. He didn't know how to handle the commotion. Jonas had cut all contacts with him and William couldn't find him anywhere. Moreover, the hawk-eyed reporters were waiting to get a glimpse of Jonas.

Since everyone was interested in Emily, the crew of the program asked the original guest to wait and roped her in for the first session.

She was wearing a pink dress and white shoes as her silky hair cascaded down her shoulders. Emily looked like a sweet, innocent girl.
