Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Guaranteed to Be Settled
Gem’s autumn and winter women’s wear concept edition was quickly launched online, and Evelyn Clayton ended up trending three times while only resting at home for two days.
One instance was the videos and photos from the previous two showcases being brought up by netizens for discussion again, another was about netizens discussing Evelyn Clayton herself, and the advertisement video for Gem’s women’s wear series under The Ford Group, with Violet Ford backing it, had surprisingly the least buzz of the three.
Without an official spokesperson, Yara Reagan had to rely on some models from the entertainment circle who were not well-known to temporarily act as "clothes hangers".
Unexpectedly, netizens showed great interest in Gem’s new women’s wear series and rated it highly.
"Check the price, if it’s quite okay, I definitely want to buy one, each piece looks so beautiful."
"Great, I won’t have to wear ugly clothes this winter, most women’s wear on the market now is bizarrely awful."
At Evelyn Clayton’s home, Iris Lockwood was enthusiastically reading online comments to her, amusedly reading several in succession.
Listening half-heartedly, Evelyn Clayton held her phone, her gaze slightly serious.
She had contacted Violet Ford and Franklin Ford these past two days to inquire about John Jacobs, but neither sibling had provided any results.
"Evelyn, what are you thinking about?" Iris Lockwood noticed her daze and couldn’t help but ask.
Evelyn Clayton put down her phone, "Nothing much. By the way, have you asked Nadia Archer?"
Iris Lockwood had been diligently accompanying Evelyn Clayton at her home these past two days, working at Aegis during the day, and occasionally cooking for Evelyn in the evenings, very dedicated indeed.
Hearing this, she didn’t mind but instead responded excitedly, "I asked Nadia’s assistant, who said they’re quite interested, but Nadia’s agent is quite problematic, I heard when renewing the contract she pretends to agree, then tries to raise prices and change the split."
"That’s normal, she’s fighting for her artist," Evelyn Clayton disagreed slightly, "What was the original split ratio?"
Iris Lockwood snorted lightly, "Fifty-fifty, that’s typical. But you don’t know, Nadia’s agent is not really working for Nadia. If she’s not satisfied with the split, she’ll have Nadia go to another company. That company, I’ve asked around, is under Yolanda Thorne’s name, just started, with artists earning a living by shooting those types of films."
When she mentioned "those types of films," her expression was cryptic, and Evelyn Clayton understood immediately.
Evelyn Clayton calculated, "Then see when their team is available, let’s meet up. Just at the right time, since I’m free, let’s resolve this, Gem won’t wait long."
It seemed as if waiting for her to say this, Iris Lockwood excitedly slapped the sofa, "Let’s do it now! I’ll directly contact Nadia!"
Iris Lockwood acted quickly, after making the call she said, "Nadia agreed! Let’s meet her at this time tomorrow, okay?"
Evelyn Clayton also wanted to quickly settle it, so she naturally nodded, "Is she coming alone?"
"She’ll likely bring her agent Diana Dempsey, the one I mentioned before as Sister Diana," Iris Lockwood sneered, "But don’t worry, Diana is easy to deal with."
After pondering for a moment, Evelyn Clayton said slowly, "Although you’ve mentioned Diana Dempsey once or twice, I haven’t really looked into her. If it really doesn’t work, how about letting your agent handle Nadia. Overall, it’s a turbulent time, better not provoke conflicts."
Iris Lockwood reassured her.
"Rest assured, this matter will be sorted out."
