Adam: What Bet?

Medical Center.

Adam originally intended to clear himself of suspicion and present a sophisticated image, subtly hinting to Max that he remembered nothing.

Because he knows who MAX is.

Caroline is so pitiful now, if Adam tells Max to keep people away from her, will Max actually do it?

Stop joking.

Kind-hearted Max simply couldn't do that.

That's why Adam did the opposite.

This cleared them of suspicion and also achieved their goal.

Perfect!

But now, before Adam could finish speaking, Max agreed immediately.

This is... damn awkward.

It's obvious.

Max saw through Adam's little scheme and turned the tables on him.

You're going against the grain, so I'll go along with you without any resistance, and see how you handle it.

It's also Adam's own fault!

Adam has used so many tricks with MAX over the years that MAX is now all too familiar with his little schemes in this regard.

After all, just like those action movies, the core principles remain the same.

At this time.

Adam had two choices.

One natural option is to continue talking.

Because kind-hearted Max wouldn't do such a thing anyway, no matter how fiercely she speaks, it's useless.

In the end, we must obediently follow the path envisioned by Adam.

But now there's a problem.

That means Max knew Adam's thoughts, and she also knew that he knew she knew his thoughts.

If they continue doing this, it's blatantly forcing her to agree even if she doesn't want to.

Although such scenes are not uncommon in the small theaters they collaborate on.

But now, with newcomers being added to the cast, it's a bit disrespectful to her.

Then.

Adam chose the other option.

"Hehe."

Adam chuckled ingratiatingly, "MAX, perhaps I'm being too sensitive. It's all this damned capitalist mentality that's making me less and less humane..."

As he spoke, he made a big fuss. Lin Wanyu told Lu Xiaobu's girlfriend Annie in advance that Lu Xiaobu wanted to break up with her. Then, when she found out that Lu Xiaobu's cheating partner didn't like men and Lu Xiaobu wasn't planning to break up with Annie, Lin Wanyu gave him her classic fawning smile.

"In short, what I mean is, you have your own opinions, why should you listen to me? Stop this nonsense, what do I, a heartless capitalist, know? Do what you want to do, don't pay attention to me!"

Emmm.

That's right!

Adam wisely chose to admit his mistake.

Knowing that Max knows he knows she knows he knows, there is no way out of confrontation.

A win-win situation is the optimal solution.

Emmm.

It's a true win-win situation!

This means everyone wins, including Adam winning twice!

Of course, this depends entirely on MAX's mood.

Playing any tricks that go against the grain is foolish!

Trying to project a high-class image is just ridiculous.

Because he doesn't have any at all.

"Snort!"

Upon hearing Adam's spineless act of bowing his head and apologizing with a forced smile, MAX let out a contemptuous yet delighted snort on the other end of the phone.

"Then it's settled. Let Caroline set up the studio."

"Don't!"

Adam quickly stopped her. "That's a good idea, but not now! Let her face some setbacks outside for a while first."

"Why?"

MAX asked in surprise.

"It's still the same reason."

Adam said seriously, "Channing family has offended too many people. If we help her now, we will offend a lot of people. It's completely unnecessary."

Moreover, although she may be kind-hearted, she is still a rich girl. If she doesn't experience the hardships of the lower class, she won't know how she got through it.

This is not a good thing for her, for you, or for anyone.

"I think you're just after that bet!"

MAX scoffed, "You've really gone to great lengths to make us sisters."

"What bet?"

Adam had instinctively wanted to put on an act, but given the current situation, he could only manage a dry laugh and say, "Oh, you mean that bet? Of course, it wasn't about that bet; I genuinely mean it."

How can Caroline, who has never experienced setbacks at the bottom of society, have a common language with Max?

I'm afraid that if MAX were to casually mention Versailles, he would be stunned and unsure of what to say next.

Of course, it's more likely that MAX's sharp tongue made Caroline feel a strong reverse Versailles force.

In this situation, no one can guarantee that Caroline won't turn to the dark side.

In that case, it would be better to let society beat Caroline up for a while first, and then Caroline will naturally feel the warmth of humanity beneath MAX's sharp tongue.

Emmm.

Adam understood this all too well.

He dared to say that this experience would deepen Max and Caroline's relationship.

At that time, one of them will be in charge of content and the other will be in charge of operations, making them a perfect team in both life and career.

At that time, Adam felt no guilt whatsoever.

After all, in the original timeline, they were such a perfect pair of 2 Broke Girls.

Adam didn't want to ruin their sincere and touching relationship.

Emmm.

That's all.

"In that case, let's call off the bet."

MAX laughed.

"You're in charge..."

Adam forced a laugh and quickly changed the subject, "MAX, although you won't have to draw Peppa Pig by stroke anymore, Peppa Pig is still your hard work, so you'll need to pay more attention to content creation in the future."

"Certainly."

Max was taken aback and asked unhappily, "Why would you say that?"

Although Adam provided the outline for Peppa Pig, she was responsible for the details and illustrations.

For many literary creators, their works are like their children.

MAX is no exception.

Moreover, having lacked love since childhood, she is particularly concerned about such matters.

Back then, she had excellent grades in high school, but on the day of her high school graduation exam, her unreliable mother insisted on taking her out to play, causing her to fail to graduate from high school, unable to go to university, and forced to work, directly cutting off her hope of crawling out of hell.

Even so, she didn't blame her mother, nor did she ever regret not taking the exam. She even said that day was the happiest and most blissful day of her life.

This was the first time her mother had taken her out to play.

How desperate is this person for love?

To her, Peppa Pig is like her daughter.

If Adam hadn't suggested that setting up a studio would be better for Peppa Pig, she would have preferred to draw slowly and meticulously on her own, striving to achieve the best possible result.

Adam's instructions, which seemed so obvious, naturally made her feel somewhat unhappy.

"Cough cough."

Adam coughed lightly. "What I mean is, no matter what industry you're in, if you want to reach the top, you have to maintain your original aspiration, or rather, your Daoist heart."

Creating children's books requires a childlike heart and a sense of fun.

As the main creator, you should naturally maintain this childlike innocence and fun.

Only in this way can we understand what children are thinking.

To achieve this, behavioral guidelines and other similar practices must be aligned with children's, setting a good example.

For example, children should listen to adults, be honest and trustworthy, and always keep their promises...

Ultimately, it's all for the betterment of Peppa Pig.

"Puff!"

MAX burst out laughing, "Hahaha!"

The slight misunderstanding from before has completely disappeared.

Adam is still Adam!

She's overthinking it.

Hehehe.

Adam chuckled ingratiatingly on the other end of the phone.

No way!

As long as MAX is happy.
