The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 178

Setting his laptop on the coffee table, Julian turned on the lights.

He sat back in his wheelchair, letting his mind clear for a moment before dialing a number he had blocked a long time ago.

"Seven! You finally called!" The editor's frantic, thrilled voice nearly blew out Julian's eardrum.

Julian quietly pulled the phone away from his ear and spoke in a low, even tone.

"Take two million dollars out of my royalties for this month and donate it to the Unity Special Education Center in Seaside Heights.

"Also, didn't you mention Cosmos Pictures wanted to buy the adaptation rights to 'The Viper'? I agree. Draw up the authorization."

"Seriously? Fantastic! I'll get on it right this second!"

Calvin Reed was absolutely beaming. Suddenly remembering something, he cupped the receiver and asked as gently as possible.

"Uh... Seven, you've been on hiatus for two years now. Have you had any new ideas lately? Anything you feel like writing?"

For the past two years, this was usually the exact moment Julian would hang up.

Otherwise, why would his editor have ended up on his blocked list in the first place?

He was simply sick of being hounded.

Today, however, he didn't snap. Instead, he replied with cool, measured calm.

"Yeah. I have an idea. I'll polish up the opening chapters first. Once I'm sure I'm publishing it, I'll let you know."

"That's incredible!" Calvin sounded like he was on the verge of tears.

"You have no idea how obsessed the younger crowds are with your work. They're constantly blowing up our official social media, accusing the publisher of hiding you. They're demanding we hand you over or else they'll send us death threats..."

Afraid he was rambling too much and would annoy Julian.

Calvin quickly reined in his complaining. "Anyway, it's a great thing that you have inspiration!

"I won't bother you anymore. Take your time brainstorming. If you need anything, I'm on call twenty-four seven!"

"Alright," Julian listened with rare patience. He hesitated for a second before adding.

"Actually, there's one more thing I need you to do..."
