The mastermind behind the scenes probably never imagined in his wildest dreams that all his scheming wouldnât cause any trouble for Charlotte and Joe, resulting in them obtaining a gold mine for free.
After all, if it werenât for him, Charlotte wouldnât have tested if there was gold on the island.
The gold mining operation was proceeding vigorously, and Charlotte and Joe had returned to their home country.
Ben and Anna were waiting for them at the airport early in the morning. Upon seeing their return, the children immediately embraced them.
âWeâre back safe and sound, just as we promised,â Charlotte said with a smile as she ruffled Benâs hair.
Ben nodded vigorously.
On their way home, Anna suddenly asked Charlotte, âMom, can we appear on TV?â
This unexpected question left Charlotte puzzled, and she looked at Anna inquiringly. âWhy are you asking this all of a sudden?â
Anna quickly explained, âItâs something a gentleman told us.â
Only then did Charlotte realize that the director, who had failed to persuade her before, had turned to Ben and Anna.
After successfully creating countless encounters, he told Anna and Ben about the filming of the variety show.
Ben did not care, but Anna had an idea.
âWhy do you want to participate in a variety show?â Charlotte didnât immediately question Anna but asked first.
Anna hesitated for a moment before quietly saying, âIf we participate in the variety show, you and Dad can play with us.â
In Annaâs eyes, filming a travel variety show meant having fun with her parents without any worries.
Moreover, it might even lead to Joe and Charlotte spending more time with them than before.
After hearing Annaâs words, Charlotte couldnât help but feel a pang of sadness.
She had originally thought that Anna wanted to film a variety show just to see herself on TV, but it turned out to be for this heartfelt reason.
Charlotte looked somewhat perplexed as she turned to Joe. Joe, holding Ben in his arms, smiled at Charlotte and said, âI support all your decisions.â
Charlotte was somewhat surprised, as she had thought Joe wouldnât agree to such a high-profile endeavor. However, on second thought, he had willingly participated in television interviews for her in the past, so agreeing to this for Ben and Anna wasnât much of an issue.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment and said, âItâs been quite some timeâ¦â
They had spent a lot of time abroad, and it was possible that the director had already found suitable candidates.
To her surprise, Anna blinked and took out a business card from her little purse. âItâs okay, Mom. The gentleman said you can call this number anytime.â
Charlotte stared in astonishment at the business card in Annaâs hand. She hadnât expected Anna to be so prepared.
With no more excuses left, Charlotte reluctantly dialed the number and was surprised to find the director still very enthusiastic. They quickly arranged a meeting.
The variety show directorâs name was Jerome, and he had filmed several popular variety shows over the years. His sole motto for these shows was authenticity.
It was also why Charlotte had agreed to meet with him. After all, if she was going to take her kids on a variety show, she didnât want to cooperate with contrived scripts.
When they arrived at the appointed café, the director, Jerome, quickly approached them with a friendly smile.
He looked at Charlotte and said, âTo be honest, both you and Mr. Smith are the people I most wanted to invite. Thatâs why I made an effort to persuade Anna and Ben.â
He was very open about his intentions and didnât shy away from the fact that he had deliberately approached Anna and Ben.
