Miranda plopped down on the couch, stretched out her arms, and leaned back with a contented sigh. “It’s so

nice. It finally feels like hagain.”

Lionel couldn't help but chuckle. “Of course it does. Three housekeepers worked upstairs and downstairs for a

full three hours. Your mom supervised the whole thing, making sure no corner was left untouched.”

Speaking of Mindy...

“Huh? Where's Mom?” Miranda glanced around.

Lionel replied, “She was just here watching television. How could she disappear in an instant?”

At that moment, Mindy crunning out of the study with her phone. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement,

and her eyes were sparkling brightly. “It exploded!”

“Huh?” Lionel was puzzled.

Miranda asked, “What exploded?”

Both father and daughter were equally confused,

Mindy took a deep breath to compose her emotions. “My new book! It exploded in popularity!”

Warren's movements were swift. He had been busy arranging the publication process since the two of them met

in Elgerson to discuss matters.

Firstly, Mindy had been disconnected from the thriller industry for many years. While her reputation

remained, her previous glory had faded after a new generation of writers cropped up. Most readers didn’t care

much for her anymore.

Secondly, fan culture was the current trend in the industry. Authors start like pop stars and celebrities to

promote their works online with marketing strategies

to package themselves

They would accumulate readers through these methods, who would then vote for their works online or buy their

books in stores. Coupled with smarketing articles posted online, popularity would naturally follow.

Mindy had sworn off the intefor many years. Without even a public social media account, where would she

get fans to do all that for her? As a result, the pre-release of her new book wasn’t very successful.

Mindy felt down for several days when she found out. However, Warren was calm and composed. Not only did he

handle the pressure, but he also reassured her that online buzz was fleeting. In the end, what mattered was the

quality of the content.

original title was “Lantern”, but the publicity team thought it was too plain and lacked appeal to the masses. So,

Lionel noticed the change in Mindy and felt worried, but he couldn’t help much since writing was not his area of

expertise. All he could do was to watch anxiously on the sidelines, until...

Warren gave Mindy a call. “Ms. Harrison, do you know how many copies “Seven Days” sold today?”

Mindy’s heart sank. Had the sales plummeted even further into single digits?

She said, “I'm sorry, Mr. Stone. | think | might...”
