Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 486

Cedric Clarke’s brow furrowed, his expression darkening. “Stella, come here a second. I’ve got something important to discuss with you.”

“Not going!”

“Star,” Briony coaxed gently.

Irritated, Stella reluctantly stood up and stomped over to Cedric. “What is it?”

Without warning, Cedric cupped her chubby cheeks and planted a noisy kiss right on her lips—earning himself a sharp, resounding slap across the face.

“Cedric Clarke, are you out of your mind?!”

Cedric just grinned, dodged away, and called over his shoulder, “I’ll bring you your favorite cream puffs tonight!”

“You’re such a jerk, Cedric! Don’t you dare come back! If you do, I’ll beat you to a pulp!”

Briony and James exchanged a look and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

Honestly, only Cedric could handle Stella’s fiery temper.

…

After lunch, Briony grabbed her keys and headed out.

She wasn’t worried about leaving Stella at home—Marlene was there to help out.

Last week, Briony had officially taken over Starlight Entertainment. Her first order of business was to build up the company’s reputation by promoting a new batch of talent.

Mary was at the top of her list.

With Novalith Industries’ animated series becoming a national sensation, Briony had noticed a growing fascination among locals for traditional heritage and culture. She saw an opportunity.

She decided to strike while the iron was hot and adapt the popular series into a live-action drama. If the show succeeded, she’d push forward with a feature film adaptation.

Of course, translating animation to live action was no simple feat. Casting the right actors was absolutely critical.

Briony pored over every performer on the company roster, but only Mary truly fit the bill.

Mary was on set filming today, so Briony decided to drop by.

Besides, it was a good excuse to check out the rest of the cast—she might just discover some new talent.

By the time she arrived, it was already three in the afternoon.

Her assistant, Carey, led the way through the set, easily navigating the maze of trailers until they found Mary.

Mary was in the middle of a costume change and looked up in surprise when Briony appeared.
