Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 322: I Want to Make a Comeback

After modifying the cover, Dragon Girl personally contacted Cindy Sterling again.

Emma used to be a regular in VS Magazine and had met Dragon Girl several times, so they were considered acquaintances in the social scene.

After some light small talk over the phone, Dragon Girl smiled and got to the point, "Emma, I’d like to do an exclusive interview with you about the past year of your silence. It’ll come out next month, and coincidentally, the cover for next month features Mr. Sterling and Wenny from The Sterling Group. I’m sure people will be very curious about your connection to Nirvana."

Cindy Sterling clutched the corner of a pillow, maintaining a squinty-eyed fake smile, but she was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

The ad was meticulously edited, with the scar texture blended with patterns so seamlessly that no one noticed she was injured. But if she accepted the interview, would she reveal the truth or not?

This was also why she hadn’t responded to any fan comments despite reading so many; she hadn’t decided if she wanted to make a comeback or even if she could.

"Emma?" Dragon Girl was getting a bit impatient and gently prodded.

"Sorry, I’m... not ready to disclose these things to the public yet."

Dragon Girl was a bit disappointed but didn’t give up, "I understand how you feel. Call me anytime when you’re ready to talk."

After hanging up, Cindy Sterling felt a bit conflicted. She frowned and abused a pillow for a while, then suddenly got up and went to the gym.

Faye Truman was on the elliptical, sweating profusely while contemplating life.

Cindy Sterling stepped onto the treadmill next door and started walking slowly, "Aren’t you going back home to open a restaurant?"

"I’ll leave once your work is stable."

Cindy Sterling raised an eyebrow, tilted her head to look at him, feeling like he wasn’t lying, which made her a bit angry, though she didn’t know why, "So if I don’t make a comeback, you won’t leave?"

Faye Truman stopped and teased, "You wouldn’t refuse to work because you’re afraid I’d leave, would you?"

"Don’t think you’re that important."

"Great, great." Faye Truman laughed as he stepped off the machine and started wiping his sweat, "I’ve arranged a farewell dinner with Ruby and Sasha this weekend. Want to join?"

"No." Cindy Sterling suddenly got even angrier, "I don’t want to interrupt your reunion with old friends." She said, then turned off the treadmill and stormed off.

Faye Truman, having dealt with women all the time, certainly couldn’t fail to notice Cindy Sterling’s thoughts. When he moved in, he thought he was drinking poison to quench thirst; some things are better left unsaid until he’s sure if he can face the truth. After all, he’s about to leave; whether or not she makes a comeback, her life will have nothing to do with him anymore.

Cindy Sterling returned to her room like a storm, feeling a wicked fire burning inside her, making her restless. After pacing back and forth several times, she left the room again, searched several places, and finally found Faye Truman in the study.

"I want to make a comeback. Before I find a new agent, could you help me?"

"Agent?" Faye Truman thought the job had nothing to do with him, "I’ve never done that before."

"I don’t have much work now. Just accompany me and carry my bag."

"Why do you need someone to carry your bag when you don’t have work?"

Cindy Sterling rolled her eyes, "VS wants to do an exclusive interview with me, so I need an agent, get it?"

Faye Truman: ...

"Anyway, it’s settled." Cindy Sterling said it unilaterally to Faye Truman and walked off.

Faye Truman stood there stunned for a while, deciding to call her brother, trying to have Ethan Sterling find an agent for Cindy Sterling; it shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?

To his surprise, after hearing it, Ethan Sterling calmly said, "I don’t want to be murdered by my sister with a beer bottle. You handle it yourself."

Faye Truman: ...

He felt played by the Sterling siblings. Clearly, he was the one in cahoots with Ethan Sterling, so why did he feel like he had shot himself in the foot?

After over a thousand pre-orders, Nirvana’s backstage data didn’t change much in the following week, with a final pricing of 5999 per 10ml for the mini bottle of perfume.

Not a luxury brand, not even a Euronia and Meridia brand, just a domestic product. No matter how creative the advertising, how beautiful the official images of the perfume bottle, they were destined to only make more people hesitate or even scoff.

With that kind of money, people could buy Dr. L’s perfume, so why buy a disciple’s perfume?

However, high pricing was Ruby Sullivan’s original intention when she set the price.

Just as when she was a child, after learning there was a kind of deliciousness called Michelin-style, she always hoped to visit Michelin restaurants worldwide and taste each one properly.

Uh, of course, this might only be Ruby Sullivan’s personal dream.

Just like many girls dream of owning a branded handbag when they grow up, they’re not hoping for a discount or price drop; they’re hoping to save enough to indulge themselves once extravagantly.

Ruby Sullivan hopes Nirvana can be that kind of existence; even if all the perfumes were sold out, she’d always keep Nirvana’s shelf and its display on the homepage, but it would always be out of stock. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She used top-notch ingredients, with a top-notch formulation, offering an unprecedented olfactory experience. The 5999 isn’t about buying at a loss or being ripped off but about buying a girl’s dreams and confidence.

She wants Nirvana to become such a luxury.

So, Ruby Sullivan’s mindset quickly returned to normal, devoting all her energy to formulating a new perfume and crafting handmade soaps and scented candles, planning to launch new products comprehensively in two months.

VS’s new issue brought Nirvana back into the spotlight.

Although it wasn’t Ethan Sterling and Ruby Sullivan’s first time on trending, it was their first time trending for showing off affection.

Gossip-loving netizens never forget, and no matter how positive the magazine content was, or how sincere Su Shen was in answering questions, the discussion still circled around them as a couple tangled by interests, with fans asking Ruby Sullivan if she knew how many ’good sisters’ her husband had.

In short, Ethan Sterling’s original vision was shattered; not only did he fail to display them lovingly, he also couldn’t establish a wife-loving persona.

Holding his phone, Ethan Sterling showed interest in trending for the first time and then called Lucy Larkin, head of the PR department, asking, "Have you ever bought internet ghostwriters?"

Lucy Larkin’s heart skipped a beat, wondering why the boss was suddenly concerned about this. Did some issue arise with which company’s ghostwriters?

Nervously, she cautiously replied, "We collaborate with big firms as needed to guide public opinion."

Ethan Sterling took a deep breath, wanting her to find ghostwriters to clear his and his wife’s rumored affection. But in the end, he couldn’t say it.

Uh, he felt a bit shy.
