Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 287 - 292: Divorce

Los Angeles, inside the Four Seasons Hotel.

Princess Diana sat on the sofa, also paying attention to this news.

However, unlike Wang Jian, she even saw the news footage.

"Camilla," Diana whispered, the name of the woman who had wrecked her marriage.

Even though she had long been aware of the other woman’s existence, her heart was still full of hatred.

And this time, it was different.

Not only did that woman appear in public, but she was also followed by her own two sons, William and Harry!

"Charles, you promised not to let that woman appear in front of the children!" Diana’s expression control faltered, and she already had a gritted teeth look.

If it had been just an affair, Diana might have tolerated it.

But to let that woman take her place as a mother in front of her own children,

even someone as composed as Diana was about to go mad.

At that moment, a rush of footsteps was heard, and the door to the hotel room opened.

"Diana," Sofia, who had just hurried from the set, asked with a concerned tone, "Are you okay?"

Diana looked at the television, then turned her head blankly to look at the little princess of the Coppola family.

"I want a divorce!" Her voice was so calm it was almost inconceivable to herself.

Perhaps her heart was utterly broken, or maybe the years of marriage that felt like shackles had completely worn her out.

"If even the slightest bit of dignity is not to be left to me."

"And to take away my children as well."

Diana’s tone returned to normal, with even a hint more vigor.

"Then, there’s no more fondness for this princess’s identity!"

"That’s right!" Sofia also echoed loudly, "The prince attended a major gathering with his mistress."

"Does he think it’s still the era when the royal prerogative was supreme, the Middle Ages?"

"But..." Sofia’s voice carried a bit of apology, "I just took over the set, I can’t be with you all the time."

"However, I’ve brought in Hollywood’s public relations experts, as well as lawyers who have handled many celebrity divorce cases!"

Saying this, she opened the door again and brought in two middle-aged men.

"Miss Diana, hello," one middle-aged Caucasian man spoke very politely, "As Los Angeles’s most well-known divorce law firm, we’ve provided assistance for many public figures going through divorce."

"Please trust our professional level, we will definitely provide you with the best possible plan."

"However, before formally taking over this matter, I need to understand your inner thoughts."

"When faced with a choice between interests and public reputation, what do you hope to secure more?"

"If it’s the benefits you prefer, then this lawsuit will primarily involve me."

"If you seek public sympathy," he pointed to the man behind him, "then he’ll be the lead."

Diana looked at the two men in front of her, pressing her temples with her hand.

"I’m sorry, this all happened so suddenly, I haven’t thought it through yet."

"We understand," the public relations personnel behind the lawyer stepped forward, "However, my advice is that if you are determined to divorce, please issue a divorce statement as soon as possible."

"Public memory is short-lived," he pointed at the television, "now, you already hold the moral high ground."

"Making a divorce announcement at such an attention-grabbing moment."

"Then, in the subsequent divorce process, whether it’s benefits or public reputation, we will have a certain advantage."

Diana looked at the two people in front of her, hesitating uncertainly.

But her personal lawyers were all provided by the Royal Family.

Would they stand on her side in the divorce?

Diana turned her head again to look at the television, silent for a long time.

"Diana, must you continue to endure this?"

"For the sake of your noble family, and your father’s laughable noble dignity?" Sofia said with a hint of frustration.

Noble dignity?

What dignity do I have left to speak of?

Now, the whole world knows I lost to that divorced woman.

Diana took a deep breath and said decisively, "You all draft the lawyer’s agreement, along with the divorce petition."

Watching the two men leave, she whispered softly, "Farewell to royal life!"

...

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, inside the office of Viacom Group.

Woodward and an elderly white man watched the television with faint smiles on their lips, indicating their pleasant moods.

"Mr. Redstone, this is the best news we could have possibly received."

"The British Royal Family is mired in a big scandal, and given their way of doing things, they will surely do everything in their power to divert public attention."

"And, at the moment, the most suitable target is Wang."

"After all, he is collaborating with us, a major media conglomerate, and Wang’s strength is so feeble."

"Please trust that as soon as we commence a media campaign, the British Royal Family will definitely change their lax style of doing things and go all out to keep up."

Media mogul Redstone, looking at the reporter opposite him, gave a slight nod.

Based on his understanding of the British Royal Family, they would indeed act this way.

wangwen.com? Wang Jian?

He picked up the documents on his desk and read them again carefully.

Just a billionaire, who isn’t?

The most crucial issue is that they are backed by the financial-focused Republican Party.

Not the Democrat Party, which truly holds the power of media discourse!

And within the Republican Party, those influenced by the British Royal Family make up a considerable proportion.

"Hmm," he exclaimed in surprise as he flipped through the documents, discovering that many famous writers had already published works on wangwen.com.

"This site, it already has the makings of a Marvel or DC?" Redstone silently appraised after a moment of thought.

Marvel and DC both have massive capital attention, so he could not directly intervene.

Therefore, acquiring this emerging wangwen.com might be a fine choice.

"Actually," he picked up his coffee and took a gentle sip, "the appearance of wangwen.com is quite timely."

If one wishes to control a vast number of IPs with high adaptation value and complete the cycle of publishing—adapting—filming—merchandising, it would inevitably lead to conflict with powerful Disney.

But wangwen.com is playing the role of a vanguard, already starting to consolidate the publishing industry.

Even, in some ways, it has surpassed the importance of Simon & Schuster Publishing House.

So, before Murdoch and Eisner turn their attention here, take direct control of the site.

Paramount Pictures, a Viacom Group entity, would hold a vast number of works with high adaptation value.

Then, like last year, stage another writer’s strike.

It’s not impossible for Paramount to surpass Universal, Columbia, and become the second-largest production company in Hollywood.

Even surpassing Disney, which controls numerous fairy-tale IPs, is possible.

"Go," Redstone put down the documents and said to Wood.

"This is your last chance; I will mobilize resources to support you fully."

"If you fail, you understand the consequences."

Woodward swallowed, "Of course, Mr. Redstone." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"If I still fail after this, I have no business staying in the media industry."
