Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Performing Crosstalk

Cindy Clarke froze in anger.

She couldn’t help but turn her head and look at the Old Master.

Her grandfather.

Even knowing there was a camera, she couldn’t control her reddening eyes.

The people present were all her family members.

Her real family.

Adrian Zhekova held her hand, and Cindy turned her head and smiled at him in relief.

At this moment, the Old Madam said, “I am Adrian’s grandmother and also Cindy’s grandmother.”

Maverick Zhekova chimed in, “Hello everyone, I am Maverick Zhekova, Adrian Zhekova’s father and also Cindy’s father.”

Victoria Wheeler followed up, “I am Victoria Wheeler, Maverick Zhekova’s wife, Adrian Zhekova’s mother, and also Cindy’s mother.”

“This time, my grandson and granddaughter-in-law are using a video to announce the good news to everyone,” the Old Madam spoke slowly, making sure everyone could hear her clearly.

“We elders are also meeting everyone for the first time through this method, and we are still a bit unused to it,” the Old Madam said with a smile.

“Before I knew Cindy, I was one of her fans, always watching her videos,” the Old Madam’s eyes sparkled with a kind and gentle expression as she smiled.

“Later, I heard that my grandson actually knew her, and I thought to myself that he never used to interact much with girls, let alone say an extra word to them.”

“I thought that she would definitely become my granddaughter-in-law. But my grandson was too slow, hesitating and causing me impatience.”

Victoria immediately chimed in, “He was indeed too slow, so slow that I got angry and scolded him.”

“We wished we could have married Cindy into our family ourselves,” the Old Madam said.

“Fortunately, our son finally succeeded, and Cindy became our daughter-in-law. She can’t run away anymore,” Victoria added.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back and forth, their conversation almost sounding like a comic routine.

Old Master held the baby in his arms.

Although the Old Master wasn’t present when Adrian and Cindy had discussed their plans earlier.

He instinctively protected the back of the baby’s head, not letting his face show in the video.

The Old Master looked at the baby adoringly before raising his head to the camera, “Now, our family is complete.”

It was then that Maverick spoke with warmth, “Thank you for your continuous support to Cindy. We hope you will continue to take care of her in the future.”

The elders didn’t say much, but their words were full of care and concern.

After Maverick finished speaking, he asked the elders, “I think this is enough, isn’t it? If we say too much, it might backfire.”

There will always be some negative thinkers, people who judge others by their own standards, or people who cannot stand the success of others.

If they say too much, in the eyes of those people, it might seem like they are trying to cover up their dislike for Cindy.

The more there is nothing to say, the more they want to say something.

That’s how it is.

The Old Master nodded, “That should be enough.”

So, Cindy borrowed a computer from the Old Master.

The Old Master pointed to the desk in the study, “There, you can use that computer.”

The Old Master didn’t use the computer much these days.

He had his mobile phone for reading the news, which was very convenient.

However, despite this, the Old Master’s computer was top of the line.

It was suitable for programming and video editing.

As long as it was a high-performance computer needed for a highly professional job, this computer could meet the requirements.

It just so happened that Cindy needed to edit a video, which would not be a problem.

There was no video editing software on the computer, so Cindy downloaded the one she commonly used.

Since the computer had high performance and fast internet speed, the software downloaded almost instantly.

After quickly installing the software, Cindy imported the videos from her camera into the computer.

She then began editing the video bit by bit.

Everyone else couldn’t help with this task, so they left the room first.

The baby was also taken out by the Old Master.

The Old Master said he really couldn’t bear to part with the baby and had to play with him.

Therefore, only Adrian remained in the study with Cindy.

Victoria sat in the living room and opened Facebook.

She intended to help promote the show that was going to air that night.

Who knew, as soon as Victoria opened Facebook and was about to search for Pingla’s official Facebook, she saw several screenshots of fans’ comments about James Davies and Emily Richardson on the homepage of a marketing account.

The general idea was that the fans were targeting Cresthill TV Station.

They believed that the station was dishonest.

Originally, James Davies’ new show “The Way Home” was promoted to air tonight, but because of some rumors involving James Davies, the show was suddenly postponed.

James Davies’ fans said, “We were all prepared to watch tonight, and now you just cancel the show?”

“There’s no definitive evidence for James Davies’ scandal, it’s just people making things up. Why should it be blamed on him so soon?”

“The platform really doesn’t keep its word.”

Emily Richardson was the lead actress of this drama series, and she also played the second female lead in Zachary Hamilton’s film “Dimension.”

At that time, Zachary Hamilton tried to save as much money as possible for the production of “Dimension.”

He spent as little as possible on the actors’ salaries and allocated more budget into the production.

So, apart from Olivia Davis and Charlotte York, the other actors were all minor actors in the entertainment industry.

Emily Richardson had no fame at that time as well.

After “Dimension” was released, as the second female lead, she became well-known and gained a group of fans.

Her salary also soared accordingly.

Immediately afterward, she took on the lead role in “The Way Home,” which was her first TV series as the main actress.

Especially, being paired with the talented and well-liked actor James Davies, Emily Richardson had high expectations.

She planned to secure her position among the league of young actresses with this series.

However, just when Emily Richardson was full of high hopes, James Davies ran into trouble.

The TV station decided to postpone the show temporarily.

Emily Richardson was furious, which led her fans to be equally enraged.

Why should Emily Richardson be implicated by James Davies’ scandal?

“Why should our Emily sink with the male lead?”

“It’s so heartbreaking. I want to cry. How did you guys treat us fans before? We helped promote your show, and got it onto the Hot Topic list. Now you just cancel the show?”

“Heh! Who wants to watch such a lousy cooking show? I’ve never even heard of it!”

“No matter what show the TV station uses to replace this slot, I will boycott that show. It’s just bad luck for this cooking show.”

“The TV station really has no sense. Do you really think a cooking show can bring you high ratings?”

“We, the fans of both actors, will not watch it, and I’m really curious to see how low the ratings for this replacement show will be.”

“I’m not a fan of anyone, just a passerby, but I also think the TV station’s practice is very dishonest.”
