Hailey laughed. “Of course! I’m a huge fan of ‘River. I even have her autograph.”

“Really?” Owen was surprised.

River had never publicly shown her face. Her autographs were always sent to her home by the publisher, who then mailed them back after she signed them. She had never held a book signing or a fan meet–and–greet.

In the three years since she started writing, there were very few autographed copies of her books, not even reaching five hundred. Yet, Owen had two at home.

Naturally, Owen was surprised to hear that Hailey had an autograph.

But after thinking about it, Owen found it normal. ‘Her identity is already quite mysterious.

Knowing Joshua and learning such remarkable acupuncture skills, she can’t just be a simple second daughter who grew up in a poor and remote area.

Perhaps she has a mentor behind her. Or maybe… she is River herself.

However, this thought was too astonishing and only flashed through Owen’s mind for a moment before he dismissed it.

“By the way, I saw on X that ‘River’s‘ studio sold the rights to Harvest Films & TV. I looked it up and found out it’s a newly established film and TV company.

“Do you know why they sold the rights to Harvest Films & TV?” Seeming to sense Owen’s skepticism, Hailey skillfully changed the subject.

“Harvest Films & TV is a company under Calhoun Group, but not many people know that. I’m not sure why River sold the rights to us. I was also surprised when the person in charge of Harvest Films & TV called me.“Owen smiled.

“I see.” Hailey timely showed her surprise and delight. “If you get the chance to meet ‘River‘ in person, can you ask for her autograph for me?”

“I’ll try,” Owen said with a slight smile, raising his eyebrows slightly. “But don’t you think you need to give me something in return?”

“What?” Hailey was puzzled.

Owen raised his hand, and his slender fingers lifted her chin, bringing his lips down on hers.
