Chapter 83

No one believed a guy from the slums could write anything worthwhile. Amid countless online attacks, Kevin chose to jump to his death on the day the movie premiered.

And this wasn't just connected to Elliot. It also had everything to do with Sungate Entertainment, Emily, and the rest of them.

They knew full well where Elliot got the script, yet they twisted the truth, turning lies into reality. All the online drama was orchestrated by Sungate Entertainment, just to stir up hype. Ophelia said, "Kevin, do you trust me?"

Elliot scoffed, "Don't worry. He will come back in no time. He still writes everything by hand, so getting our hands on his work is easy. Even if he leaves, he won't escape my grasp." Over the years Elliot had come up with plenty of ways to keep Kevin under control.
