The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Jessica never had the opportunity to tell anyone her thoughts. Even though Otis was not a good man, she took the chance to speak her mind. After all, even if Otis tattled on her, nobody would believe him.

Jessica exclaimed, "In the end, I have to depend on myself. But I'm glad that I'm pretty capable; I made a lot of money by myself."

After going through the proposal, Otis said, "I have the contacts to a few animation studios. If you're interested, I can introduce you to them."

However, Jessica preferred to collaborate as she didn't want to cover the production costs herself. She suggested, "Why don't you contact them and provide the funds for me? I'll give you a cut of the profit."noveldrama

In the past, Jessica enjoyed bearing all the costs herself. But later, she realized she was only willing to bear low costs that guaranteed great returns. On the other hand, she was reluctant to fork money out for anything with high risks.

"Sure," Otis said generously.

The two had come to an agreement. Then, Otis asked, "Can you tell me now- what kind of woman does Zane like?"

Jessica had expected Otis to ask that question. She didn't mind sharing all her experiences with Otis, too. Given Zane's high standards for himself, even if other people found out how she did it, they may never win Zane's heart over.

Jessica said, "First of all, Zane prefers women who resemble Annalise in some way."

Otis began to take down notes, trying to write down everything Jessica said.

She chuckled and continued, "Secondly, it's simple-she should be simple- minded, that's all. She cannot be somebody as foolish as your daughter, leaving loopholes behind for people to spot them."

When Jessica first saw the news

about Yelena on the internet, Jessica was shocked. She was worried that Zane had actually fallen in love with Yelena. But on second thought, if Zane liked women like that, Yelena wouldn't be the first person to have done that

Jessica added, "Zane is very self-disciplined. He doesn't like to

socialize with people unrelateret

his job. That means meeting him will be a challenge."

Otis thought about it as he typed away. Then, he thought of a solution. He said, "Thanks. I think I know what to do."

Jessica nonchalantly replied, "You're welcome. We're partners, after all."

After a short pause, Otis said, "Since you gave me valuable information, I'll pass

on the commission cut on your animation. Consider that your pay."

Upon hearing that, Jessica was surprised. She said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Once their conversation ended, Jessica finished her milk and left. Meanwhile, Otis stayed behind and sat in silence for a while. Then, he called Yelena.

"You should make yourself look smarter."

However, Yelena didn't take Otis' word to heart. She asked, "Don't men like dumb women? That's how you evoke their sense of protectiveness, right?"

Otis sneered and said, "Childish

tricks like that only work on average men-not high-caliber men like Zane Huxham! Zane is smart; if his girlfriend is dumb, he might find it hard to even talk to her."
