DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter My Toyboy 142
Chapter 142
Jonathan replied in a cold voice, "No, even if they send me an invitation, I wouldn't go." His voice was serious, lacking his usual warmth.
Although Nina felt a little disappointed, she still said, "Yeah, Mr. Bennett, you're so busy. I was just overthinking." Nina continued to ask, "Should I still join this show, Mr. Bennett?"
"Quit" Jonathan replied without a second thought.
"But the penalty for breaking the contract is in the eight-figure range," said Nina,
"You don't need to worry about that, I'll handle it with the production team.. Before he could finish, Jonathan received an email. It was from Jason. The timing was oddly coincidental, making him raise an eyebrow.
Jonathan opened the email. It was an invitation to a reality show, but it contained no details, not even the show's name or rules-just a guest list.
There were eight names on the guest list, including Nina's. His own name was the last one listed. Besides that, he noticed a familiar name: Cynthia Jones.
He thought, "Why is Cynthia in there? Jonathan glanced to the side: Preston. Preston's name was right next to Cynthia's, making it hard to ignore.
Jonathan's eyes became deep, like a bottomless pool. He wondered. Why did the show invite Cynthia? Why is Preston als participating? What is Whitney up to this time? Even with a mind worth a fortune, Jonathan couldn't figure it out at the moment.
"Mr. Bennett... Mr. Bennett... are you still there?" Nina's voice came through the phone, snapping Jonathan back to reality.
Jonathan's mind had gone in circles, analyzing countless possibilities. In a brief moment, a tsunami had surged in his heart But now, everything had settled into calmness.
"Nina, you can join this variety show," Jonathan's voice was calm Nina was surprised. Just moments ago, Jonathan was so firm. Why did he suddenly change his mind in less than two minutes?"
Jonathan continued, "Just now, I received an invite from the show's producers, so I'll be going too."
Nina was momentarily taken aback after hearing this. But soon, he felt a surge of warmth and joy. "Alright, Mr. Bennett, see you tomorrow."
Tomorrow, Nina was going to see Jonathan, and she couldn't help but feel excited. Over the years, although he had always been her protector, they rarely got to meet. Especially in recent years, their encounters had been few and far between. Everyone knew that Nina was the apple of Jonathan's eye. But only she was aware that they always maintained a sort of close yet distant relationship, which left her a bit frustrated. Now that she's grown up, she wanted to bridge that gap between them.
That night, the show's official website released news about the recording of the new reality series. However, the names of the guests weren't disclosed. Instead, they used silhouette photos to let the audience guess, and it caused a huge buzz online. Devil's Island Escape? A dating show? What kind of audience-friendly dating show is called Devil's Island Escape?]
A new reality show by Jason? The one who made five smash-hit seasons of the Escape? Now he's doing a dating show?)
[I feel like Jason can't create a normal dating show, but I'm kind of curious for some reason.]
Why does the silhouette of the first guest look so much like Ethan?I

[No way. Ethan is a big-screen actor, such a high-profile person would never join a show like this.]
[To be honest, I think guest number two looks a bit like Jessie.]
[If the show manages to invite both Ethan and Jessic, I will lose forty pounds and earn a million dollars this year.]
The person above really wants it both ways, huh?
Cynthia didn't pay attention to those things. She had one goal in mind: to get rid of Preston's advances. Preston had mentioned he could only stay in Roncrity for a month, and now he had already been here for twenty days. The show's filming would take about a week and was conducted in a closed setting. By the time she got back from filming. Preston should have left Roncrity, and her life could return to normal
The next day, Cynthia carried her luggage to the airport, only to be greeted by a helicopter. The staff saw her and quickly came over to welcome her. "Ms. Cynthia, please board the helicopter. We're taking you to the filming location." Cynthia was puzzled. "Aren't we waiting for the other guests?"
The staff explained, "Each guest has been assigned a small helicopter to go to the recording location alone. It's on a first-come, first-served basis, and everyone will meet on the island. Ms. Cynthia, you are the first to arrive."
As someone involved in the show, Cynthia still knew very little about it. Not because the crew did an excellent job at keeping it secret, but because the director had just returned from vacation a couple of days ago and decided to start filming immediately. There was no advance preparation or publicity. It felt like once everyone was gathered, they started. The whole vibe was very casual
Cynthia currently knows only four of the invited guests, and they are pretty famous. She didn't really have much to say about that.
As long as she cooperates with the show's production team, she doesn't have any personal goals for joining this show; it's purely to avoid Preston. She planned just to go with the flow, doing whatever she was asked, being like an invisible person that no one noticed. The plane quickly took off. Half an hour later, it had left Roncrity. Another hour passed, and when Cynthia looked out the window, the plane was flying over a vast ocean.
Freddie had mentioned that this time, the reality show would be a tropical island getaway. After another hour of flying, a wide expanse of islands came into view, lush and green, like countless emeralds set in the ocean.
At this point, the plane began to descend, finally landing on a vast stretch of beach. Cynthia got off the plane.
Then she heard a voice seemingly coming from above. "Welcome our first guest of the show 'Devil's Island Escape, Cynthia Jones
This was the first time Cynthia heard the name of the show. Meanwhile, over a million viewers were already tuning in live, as the live room displayed Cynthia's identity.
Cynthia Jones, 23 years old, occupation: Host for Roncrity News Network.
Cynthia Jones? Never heard of her. Just another nobody, I suppose.]
Seriously, Jason is a well-known director, yet they invited a host from a small local TV station? Is this show really struggling to find guests?]
[Cynthia... That name sounds familiar. I remember it was trending recently, something about being mixed up with a real heiress. There was some drama with mistaken identity that went viral a few times.)
