Chapter 85 Smack Him in the Face Simone’s smile grew wider when she read the message sent by Zac. Then, she texted. ‘I feel the same way! She even added a fist emoji and a smiley as well. Zac chuckled, “Simone likes the idea too. Her emojis are so adorable. Felix realized that Zac was totally smitten. “Do it, then. I wonder who caught her attention.” It was undeniable that Simone’s personality and way of doing things were right up his alley The Gray Family tried to suppress and silence her, hoping she would give in. However, Simone didn’t back down. Instead, she stood her ground. Do you want to silence me? I’ll start my own business, then. Bring it on. I’m not afraid of you! That seemed like her way of work, so it was no wonder someone like Zac, who usually didn’t show interest in women. took notice of her. Meanwhile, Zac continued texting Simone. Zac: Are you interested in anyone? If you do, tell me. As long as it’s not the top stars of Gray Entertainment, I’ll help you recruit them. As long as they weren’t A–listers, he would spend money and resources to bring them to Simone. Her studio wasn’t suitable for A–list artists anyway. Simone felt touched by his initiative. Zac might appear to be arrogant and have a sharp tongue to others, but he was kind toward his friends. Of course, he also had a mischievous side. Simone: I’ve already shortlisted three people, and none of them are artists that Gray Entertainment values, so you don’t need to intervene this time.. Then, she added: Otherwise, it would be a waste of your talents. After reading the message, Zac turned to Felix and exclaimed smugly, “Look at my girl. It’s a pity that I have no avenue to show off” Felix shuddered. “You better stop talking, or I might lose my appetite.” This boy merely wanted to show off how amazing the girl he liked was and how he had a good eye for women! Zac glanced at him and commented disdainfully. “A single man like you wouldn’t understand.” Felix mused. You re talking as if you’re not single yourself! However, it would be a waste of effort to explain to a man trapped in the bitterness of unrequited love. 1/4 er 85 Smack Him in the Face After showing off. Zac continued texting Simone, Simone, you truly live up to your reputation. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need any help. Felix smirked. Tsk tsk. Even Mr. Turner has to beg for someone to accept his help. “Do your older brothers and sisters know? How about your beloved grandfather and grandmother?” If they knew, their jaws might drop due to shock. Zac sneered and bragged, “Do you think my family is like the Fosters, who don’t have good eyes for WOTTICA, long as it’s someone I like, my family will like her too. Felix choked on his words. He’s right. Zac resembled a little tyrant at home. Simone: If necessary. I won’t hesitate to seek your help. Zac: Alright. I’ll be waiting. When you’re free, let’s have a meal together. Four of us! Simone: Sure, no problem! Zac: Alright, see you when I see you. Goodnight! Simone: Sure thing. Goodnight! Felix raised an eyebrow. “Is that it? Aren’t you going to chat a little longer?” Zac reluctantly placed his phone down. “You don’t understand.” He could tell that Simone wasn’t romantically interested in him for now because she was focused on her career. Moreover, she recently went through a breakup, so it would be unlikely for her to get into a new relationship immediately. Hence, he decided to stand by her as a friend and accompany her through her hardship. Seeing his expression, Felix leaned closer and guessed, “Are you trying to slowly win her over?” Zac pushed him away. “What are you talking about? I’ll give Simone the best of everything because she deserves it. A single soul like you wouldn’t understand.” Felix was speechless at that. He really prioritized women over his best buddy. How could he mock him for being single? Waving his hand, Felix uttered, “Just leave already, b“stard.” He might be able to control himself from sending a punch into Zac’s face if he were to stay any longer. Zac stood up and joked, “Fine. I’ll leave. If it weren’t for Simone, why would I waste time sitting here with an old man like you?” Felix picked up the contract in his hand and threw it at him. “Get lost!” Zac swatted the contract away. “This contract is useless now. You can keep it.” Then, he left swiftly. 2/4

Chapter 84 Didn’t Expect Simone To Resist Such Temptation Simone clicked the message to read it. Zac: Simone, do you have a moment? Let’s chat. Simone: Sure. Zac: I heard that the Gray Family has blacklisted you in the industry and even warned other entertainment companies and agents not to sign you. But they can’t control everything. I met the president of our company today, who happens to be my brother’s childhood friend. He holds you in high regard and wants to offer you a pretty good contract. I’ll send it to you. Take a look and see if you’re interested. He then sent a document over. Simone was touched by his gesture. She didn’t anticipate Zac would secure her a contract with his company’s boss. Simone: Thank you, but I’m not planning to sign with any other entertainment company anymore. I’ve launched my own studio. Zac: Oh, I see! That’s a great idea. I believe that you’re capable of succeeding. How about I join your studio and work with you? Zac was currently sitting in the office of Felix Reich, the president of Star Entertainment. Felix was sitting next to him, glancing at his phone. When he saw how Zac was actively requesting to join Simone’s studio, he couldn’t help bu widen his eyes. “Excuse me. Isn’t this too much? You’re the pillar of our company right now, How could you leave for a girl?” It was obvious that Zac had deliberately shown Felix the chat. Hearing this, Zac rolled his eyes. “You have plenty of pillars in the company. Losing me won’t make a difference.” Star Entertainment was a big company that could compete with Gray Entertainment. As one of the top three entertainment companies in the country, it boasted numerous leading actors and actresses. Felix choked. “Are you really prioritizing love over friendship to this extent?” Although they housed several top actors in their company, Zac had the largest fan base. He would be heartbroken to let Zac go. He didn’t expect Simone to resist such temptation. Zac smirked. “Of course. There’s only one girl who has captured my heart, but I have many friends like you. Besides, you’re just my brother’s best friend.” Chapter 84 Didn’t Expect Simone To Resist Such… 55% Felix went speechless before screaming, “Get out of here!” This guy really deserved a beating. No wonder Aaron and Leon were eager to punch him. At this moment, he received a reply from Simone, who answered. ‘If you join me. I’m afraid that Mr. Reich will come after me with a knife. I appreciate your intentions, and I believe that we’ll have many opportunities to collaborate in the future. By then, I’ll rely on a top actor like you to protect me! Simone didn’t expect Zac to be so loyal to her. It was truly impressive for a top star to switch companies so easily. Zac was a dependable friend, so Simone figured that she shouldn’t take advantage of that. Since he was currently a hot star. Star Entertainment would have definitely planned out his future path to ensure his continuous rise to fame. Although she believed that her studio would do better in the future, she still lacked in certain aspects at the moment. Her connections, resources, and strength were not on the same level as Star Entertainment. A top star without enough exposure to powerful resources would eventually be forgotten or become outdated. Her studio definitely couldn’t afford to provide him with an array of resources. It would only hinder his development if he were to join her studio. Moreover, it might be seen that she was intentionally making use of his popularity, capital, and connections to build her company. Since Simone considered Zac to be a friend, she wouldn’t hold him back. Her mentor once told her that one must always be sincere with others and never prioritize personal gain. She agreed with that. Giving without expecting anything in return might not guarantee a reward, but not giving guaranteed. no reward at all, and the same goes for relationships. However, in instances where one didn’t receive a sincere response, then the other party could be abandoned forever, just like with the Gray Family. Zac wasn’t too surprised by Simone’s response. Despite feeling disappointed, he was also somewhat happy. He was disappointed that Simóne didn’t accept him but glad that she cared about him. Looking at Felix, he sighed and uttered regretfully. “Well, it seems like I’ll have to stay.” Felix was surprised to hear that. “Did she actually decline your offer? My regard for her has increased. 2/4 Chapter 84 Didn’t Expect Simone To Resist Such… 55%自 When Simone made a brilliant comeback online recently, he already knew that this woman was extraordinary. Seeing that she dared to confront the Gray Family and even started her own studio, he couldn’t help but admire her. Nonetheless, he didn’t expect that Simone would reject such a tempting offer from Zac. It should be noted that Zac could easily go to any company or studio and become a prominent figure.

Chapter 83 Tricked by Their Own Sister Again Gary had no intention of staying overnight, as it would be too frustrating. He made a phone call to have someone check which hotel the two of them went to. Then, he pulled up the artist’s information and carefully reviewed it. After careful consideration, he sent a list and the information to Simone. Gary had full trust in his team and was prepared to invite those who were planning to switch jobs to his house. However, he didn’t inform them that the woman was arranged by the new director to be by his side. He couldn’t afford to lose his reputation, so he made sure everything was well arranged. That being said, he did tell a few people that he found out his wife was having an affair with the new director. These two mistakes were caused by the collusion between the two and Titus. They not only wanted to bring him down but also wanted him to leave with them. Gary cut off the recording short and played the part where the two of them told him to leave for everyone to hear. The team members were all furious, thinking that the Gray brothers were too ruthless. After all, they were veterans of the company and had contributed to its current success. The other side wanted to get rid of them without any mercy. “Since the Gray brothers and the new director are not being decent, we don’t have to be polite either.” “Yes, we should fight back.” After arousing everyone’s anger, Gary took the opportunity to discuss the decision to work at Simone’s studio. These people had been through thick and thin with Gary and trusted him. The company couldn’t accommodate them anymore. If they switched to another company, they would either be suppressed or they wouldn’t fit into the other party’s operation team and wouldn’t be able to make progress. It was better to take a chance and go to Simone’s studio. The main thing was that the salary and benefits Simone offered touched their hearts. They all had families to suppon, and a high salary and performance–based commission were hard to resist. As such, they all agreed, one after another, to switch jobs with Gary. Meanwhile, Gary secretly copied and deleted the information without alerting the company. 1/4 Chapter 83 Tricked by Their Own Sister Again He discussed it with Simone and decided to confront Reuben tomorrow. There was no need to worry anymore. Hence, when the person they hired sent a message saying they had found the hotel where the two were staying, they went to the hotel with a group of friends to catch them in the act. Whatever those two wanted to do to him, he would let them have a taste of their own medicine. Gary’s mother was usually very gentle toward his wife and never interfered in their affairs; she was a good mother–in–law. Now, however, she couldn’t hold back and called some of her close friends and their close neighbors to go and catch them together. To get a divorce and make that woman leave with nothing, naturally, one would need to have some leverage. Gary had hidden the fact that he was set up and manipulated, but he wasn’t planning on hiding the fact that he had been cheated on. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to justify getting compensation. A group of people went to the hotel and successfully caught the two of them in the act Before Gary entered the room. he took out his phone and started recording a video. After kicking the door open and entering, he recorded the appearance of the two of them. Then, he proceeded to beat up the new director with his men. Gary’s mother, along with the other women, dragged the daughter–in–law down and gave her a good. beating as well. Their actions were so loud that they attracted the attention of the hotel and the nearby guests. However, when everyone found out it was catching an affair and beating up the cheating man, they all they all cheered for it. Gary and his men vented their anger, and after announcing the divorce, he paid for the broken door of the hotel before leaving with their group. They left behind a completely bewildered new director and a wife who was crying The two of them didn’t know that Gary had discovered their previous affair at the company. They speculated that someone might have seen them at the hotel and told Gary. And so, they tried to figure out how to resolve the situation without informing the Gray brothers. As a result, the Gray brothers had no idea they were deceived by their own sister. In the apartment. Simone and Gwen were looking at a list of profiles. They first picked out one profile–a newcomer who became popular because of a handsome picture and was recruited by Gray Entertainment. 2/4 Chapter 83 Tricked by Their Own Sister Again 55% The talent agency arranged for him to act in a drama portraying young stars. As he had the charm of an idol, he became popular for a while, However, because he clashed with a new talent that Titus wanted to promote, his resources were cut off.

Chapter 82 Within Her Expectations Simone and Gwen were cooking in the apartment when she received a call from an unfamiliar number. She immediately knew it was Gary calling. “Hello?” she answered, and Gary spoke. “It’s me, Miss Gray” Simone asked, “Figured it out, eh?” Hearing Simone’s calm tone, Gary became even more convinced of her capabilities. “Did you predict everything that happened tonight?” Simone truthfully replied, “Well, not exactly. I only deduced from your demeanor that you attracted a streak of bad luck. Someone you trust has betrayed you, and thus person colluded with the misfortune. that befell you, Lalso deduced that tonight is the best opportunity for you to unravel the mystery and find the answers, hence my suggestion She wasn’t a clairvoyant, so it was impossible for her to predict all the specific events that happened to Gary tonight. However, she could roughly deduce certain things, such as Gary being cheated on by his wife and being betrayed by someone he trusted, and these individuals would continue to conspire against him. Nonetheless, since they would become colleagues in the future and he was rather perceptive, there was no need to explicitly inform him about it. Gary breathed a sigh of reliel. He had been deceived like a fool. His wife was sent to him by the other party, and he was made a cuckold. It was too embarrassing, and he didn’t want his future superiors to know about it. He asked, “Miss Gray, do you really want to retaliate again the Gray Family and peach the resources of the Gray Group?” He wanted to confirm it agam to strengthen his determination. Simone replied, “Of course. Otherwise, why would I be poaching members of your team? The Gray Family are arrogant and intolerant of others. You’re way more capable than the new operations team, but you’ve been manipulated into doing menial work. I want to poach all of you and make our studio bigger and stronger in the future.” She continued, “By then, people will think those brothers have no vision and are holding onto fake pearls, while I have a discerning eye. Not only will this make my studio stronger, but it will also humiliate the Grays, don’t you think? Eventually, they will start falling behind when competing for resources. Imagine the satisfaction of humiliating them! It will also make the shareholders of the Gray Group unhappy with Reuben, finding him incapable. If he can’t even manage an entertainment company, how is he supposed to take over the entirety of the Gray Group next time? So, Gary, are you willing to join my studio and help me take down the Grays?” After hearing Simone’s words, Gary knew she was serious and had thought this out.. It wasn’t just about taking down the Gray Family but also about bringing Reuben down from his position as the heir of the Gray Group. It had to be said that her words struck a chord with him. He also wanted to teach the Grays and that new director a lesson; he wanted to let them know what 1/3 Chapter 82 Within Her Expectations 55% they were supporting and what kind of talent they were losing. At this moment, he instantly felt a sense of camaraderie with Simone. “Alright, as long as you’re determined to do what you just said, my team and I will join you.” Simone smiled and said. “Welcome, Mr. Gary and team. “We should switch titles. From now on, you should call me Director Gary Gary said. Then I should call you Director Gray. They exchanged a few more pleasantries. Gary added. There’s a problem, though. They’ve been eyeing the information and resources in my hands. If I jump ship with my team without handing those over the company probably won’t let us go.” Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used such underhanded means to plot against him “If I forcefully resign, the higher–ups at Gray Entertainment will most likely spread rumors in the industry, saying that we are incompetent and such. Then, they will blacklist us and make it difficult for us to survive in the industry. Furthermore, if they find out that we are going to your studio, they might target you as well” Simone replied confidently. “Do you think I’m afraid! They wanted to wreck my career early on, but I managed to gain fame. As long as we have strong capabilities, we can just ignore their nonsense.” Gary was initially taken aback, but the frustration in his chest lessened a bit. “You’re right.” “So, should we just resign forcefully? Simone asked. “Since you’ve gotten your answer tonight, you must have obtained some leverage, right? Gary was not an impulsive person, so he most likely had some leverage. This statement made Gary look at Simone with even more admiration. She had everything under her control, which was impressive. “Yes. I do have some leverage. Simone suggested. Tomorrow, you should go directly to Reuben and show him what you’ve got. Blackmail him and say that if you can’t leave the company without a hitch, you will make it public She added, “Seeing how you’re in charge of operations and PR, they wouldn’t dare let you do that. Reuben loves upholding a certain image. By doing this, you’d be able to leave with all those information and resources. They will come after you once you leave, but soon, they’ll realize that you’ve joined my studio. I won’t pay attention to them, so it’ll be useless. We can also give them a taste of their own medicine. Gary thought about it and agreed. He had been considering whether to release the recording. However, he had his concerns, afraid that the Grays would hinder his and his team’s path. 2/3 Chapter 82 Within Her Expectations. Now that Simone wasn’t afraid, he had nothing to fear either. At worst, it would be a failure, and he would start over. To vent his frustrations, he was determined. “Okay, I’ll pay Reuben a visit tomorrow.” The two of them discussed the details of his resignation and parted ways. Simone asked, “You’re probably familiar

Chapter 81 Can’t Stand It Any Longer Gary entered the company and spotted a familiar figure standing not far away. He paused for a moment. Wasn’t that his wife? Didn’t she say that she would be accompanying an artist and working overtime for a movie shoot? Why would she be at the company now? He was about to call out to her, but he remembered Simone’s response and held back. He followed from behind at a slow pace. After watching his wife enter the elevator, he approached and waited to see the elevator stop on the fifth floor. Gary hesitated for a moment before deciding to head to the fifth floor as well. His office was located there. Was his wife here to see him? It didn’t make sense, though! He’d been picking his kid up after work these days, and she was aware of that. He got off the fifth floor and checked his office, but no one was there. He then wandered around. After approximately ten minutes, he arrived at the door of the freshly promoted director’s office. Not only were the lights on, but he could also hear voices coming from inside. He approached quietly. The door was slightly ajar, allowing him to hear the conversation inside while standing at the door. “You were absolutely dreadful today.” “No way!” Gary’s face turned pale upon hearing his wife’s voice from inside. Suppressing the urge to kick the door open, he took out his phone and started recording, continuing to listen. A male voice spoke, which belonged to the new director. “We shouldn’t be doing it at the office. Let’s find another place. I’ll show you what I’m really capable of. I’m much better than Gary, right?” The woman’s voice sounded. “Of course, you’re far better than him! Dang it, when can I divorce him? Every day, I feel like puking whenever I see his face. Also, his son pesters me weekly to take him to the amusement park. It’s so annoying. The man replied, “Just hold on for a little while more, darling. We’ve endured it for two years already, and a little more time won’t make a difference.” “My patience is wearing thin, though.” “As long as you obtain the information he has, we can finalize the divorce. By then, we’ll hire a woman and catch them cheating. Since he cheated first, he’ll be at fault. Not only will you have a reason to divorce, but you can also claim most of the assets. Gary has been a director for many years, and according to what you said, he occasionally takes on private jobs. He must have some family wealth.” The woman said, “If it weren’t for helping you, who would care about his small fortune? However, he’s wasted two years of my youth, so he should compensate for it.” The conversation took a turn. “I’ve helped you by making him commit two major mistakes, which led to his demotion from the position of director. 1/4 12:32 Fri, 1 Dec Chapter 81 Can’t Stand It Any Longer “You’re already the new director, so why do you still want those documents from him?” she asked. “They’re not easy to obtain, you know. I’ve tried to crack the password on his laptop several times, but he’s never told me the code. “You don’t understand. He has been running the company for many years, and those documents are very important to him. There are still many resources that will determine whether I can advance further. Darling, whether you guys can divorce quickly depends on whether you can obtain those things sooner. She suggested. “Perhaps I can do what I did the last two times and put sleeping pills in his drink. I’ll steal his computer. You guys can unlock it and secretly copy the documents, and I’ll put it back.” “Well, that’s one way of doing it,” replied the man. Have a romantic dinner with him one day, give him some wine, then make him drink some water with sleeping pills. That way, he will sleep longer and won’t suspect anything, thinking it’s because he got drunk “Alright, that’s settled, then.” The woman went along with the plan. “Once everything is done, I will ask Mr. Gray to help you make your debut and make you famous,” he said. “No broken promises! Based on what you’re saying, does Mr. Gray know about all this?” “Of course. How am I supposed to bring Gary down and take his position otherwise? The plan is to get rid of all the lackeys belonging to the previous president. What’s more, Gary offended Mr. Gray shortly after he joined the company. If he doesn’t leave, who will? However, Gary has been quite stable, having worked with the company for many years. If he doesn’t make any mistakes, the president can’t easily replace him as director,” the man explained. “We just need to make him make a mistake. Once we obtain the documents, Mr. Gray can remove him and his team. “I understand now. Two years ago, you asked me to get close to him, target his son and mother, and make him marry me. Is Mr. Gray aware of this, too?” she asked. The man answered, “He knows. Mr. Gray discovered that Gary values his son’s and mother’s opinions the most. That’s why I had you target them and bring him down.” “You guys really have the patience,” she commented.. “Of course, we are people who accomplish great things. Let’s go find someplace else.” “Alright, I want to see how capable you are today!” said the woman. Upon hearing this, Gary’s face turned as dark as it could get. Instead of bursting into the room and confronting them, he took a deep breath, saved the recording. and quietly walked away. If he were to rush in now and beat the other person up, it would only alert them. He didn’t leave the company but returned to his office instead. Without turning on the lights, he switched on the computer and copied all the useful information. While copying, his face was filled with anger and gloom. 2/4 Chapter 81 Can’t Stand It Any Longer 盘:55% He never expected that his young wife had been deliberately placed by his side under the instruction of the new director. His wife had passed away in an accident a few years ago, leaving behind a son.

Chapter 80 Will It Work? Simone and Gwen drove to the school gate, but it was not yet time for school to be over. However, Simone came prepared and quickly located Mr. Wills‘ car. At that moment, Gary Wills was smoking with the car window open, lost in thought. He seemed to exude a sense of defeat. The ladies approached, and Simone raised her hand to knock on the car door. Gary snapped out of his daze, turned his head, and saw her, then paused for a moment. “Miss Simone! Although he was not familiar with her, he knew who she was Previously, Simone was an artist under Gray Entertainment, but she had never worked with the public relations department. According to rumors, it was because she had offended her manager, Titus, that she was treated the same way as them, being left out in the cold. They had believed it before. After all, she had excellent looks, temperament, and acting skills. They all thought she had unlimited potential and a high chance of becoming popular. However, the resources were limited, and it seemed like she was intentionally suppressed by her manager. There had been a lot of hot topics and online controversies lately. Only then did he find out that Simone was Titus‘ biological sister. That meant she was also Reuben’s sister. Hence, they could not understand why these two brothers would suppress their sister. They heard that they wanted to promote the adopted sister, which was why they targeted their biological sister. They just could not understand it. Especially since Jodie, regardless of qualifications from all aspects, was not as good as Simone. It was like throwing away a piece of gold for pyrite. Still, the Gray brothers were cocky and biased toward their own. As such, deeds like this seemed normal to them. Simone smiled and said, “Mr. Wills, we’d like to talk to you. Can you spare us a few minutes?” Gary had been paying attention to the events of the past few days. It had to be said that she had executed a beautiful turnaround. From being on the verge of being blacklisted by the entire internet, she suddenly became the object of everyone’s sympathy. Now that Leon and Jodie were being criticized, there was no way to salvage their public image. He admired someone as capable as Simone. As such, he extinguished his cigarette and smiled. “If you ladies don’t mind, we can talk in the car.” They would have to wait for the children to finish school, so he could not find a cafe to sit down and talk with them. Simone nodded. “Okay!” She opened the back door and entered with Gwen. Gary glanced at his watch. There was still more than ten minutes until school was over. So, he straightforwardly asked, “Miss Simone, did you come to me for something specific?” 1/3 Chapter 80 Will It Work? 甜菜:55%, Simone did not beat around the bush, either. “We’ve opened a studio and need an operations team. We want you to take charge.” He looked surprised and turned to her “You have your own talent studio now? She nodded. “Yes, the Gray brothers wanted to blacklist me, so I decided to open my oWIL Gary’s eyes showed a hint of admiration. “You re impressive” own. The Gray brothers had released news within the industry to basic hee Weert was because they were afraid of offending them or they did not want to cause trouble for themselves other entertainment companies naturally would not sign Simone Then, he changed the subject. But I’m sorry. I don’t have any plans to leave Gray Eemainment for пож own hum a favor certament There had been people trying to poach him before, but the former president had Moreover, his salary was indeed good and he was working at one of the top three companies in the industry So even though the newly promoted Gray brothers had seamed up to sideline him, he had never considered switching jobs. With Sumone opening a new studio she had nothing at the moment, and the future Even if he were to switch jobs, he would bring his colleagues to a stable entertainment company Simone was not surprised that Gary decisively refused. After all from any perspective, there studio did not have any advantage to attract talent. She was prepared for this. She took a folder from her bag and handed it over “Mr Wills this is the operational plan I made f the studio. Take a look and see if you re interested.” Although Gary did not plan to witch jobs, he was not repulsed by such a proposal. So, he took it and flipped through it, becoming gradually surprised. He did not expect Simone to understand operanons so well. If her plan was executed, the studio would indeed have a promising future. “Miss Simone, your operational plan is excellent Impressive. But… I still have to lead my team, so I’m sorry. Simone handed over another folder. This is the salary package. You can take a look at it again.” He was curious about the salary package a small studio could offer them. Hence, he took and read it. surprised once again. The salary was higher than what they were currently receiving and the autonomy was also relatively high. He used to be a director, fully managing and operating the studio. All of this felt like full trust from Simone, but of course, he was not skeptical of her. It was just that he was already at this age, and his family was in chaos now. He no longer had that drive. Regardless, she did not expect these two folders to convince Gary to switch to her side. She glanced at Gary’s face and said. “Mr. Wills, have you been having some family troubles recently He furrowed his brows. How did she know? Did she investigate me behind my back? Then, he suddenly 2/3 Dec

Chapter 79 I Knew It Wasn’t That Simple Gwen had always been an adventurer, seeking thrills and excitement. She agreed. This idea is excellent. Our studio needs to grow and become stronger. In the beginning, we couldn’t directly compete with other entertainment companies, so it was not appropriate to poach their employees. Otherwise, if they join forces, we’ll be suppressed, and that wouldn’t be beneficial. “Instead, we should focus on poaching the artists that Gray Entertainment has given up on, suppressed. or ghosted. People might think that you’re acting on impulse. You did this intentionally to go against the two brothers. And I’m sure no e will have high expectations. Sc“mbag No. 1 and No. 2 might even see it as a joke. They won’t be too cautious. “Based on their arrogant personalities, they won’t play tricks in the beginning to suppress the people we poach. That’s because they want to see you fail and make a fool of yourself so they can mock you. Or, they might pretend to be generous and offer you a contract to return to Gray Entertainment. But once we elevate our people, it will be too late for them to regret.” Simone’s smile deepened in her eyes. “You understand me.” Her thoughts were exactly what Gwen had said. “After we poach Gray Entertainment’s former operations team, we can start poaching their artists. We can consider the artists who have been given up on as long as they have potential and good character. But we shouldn’t poach too many in the beginning. Let’s start with two to four talents to promote. We should poach secretly so that when they switch jobs, they won’t mention our studio. Although Sc*mbag No. 1 and No. 2 might want to see me fail, it doesn’t mean they won’t make things difficult for us when we poach.” Especially after she had angered Sc*mbag No. 2, who was still holding a grudge, it would be best to announce it publicly after successfully poaching the people. Gwen nodded. “We truly have a telepathic connection. I was thinking the same thing.” Whether it was in life, philosophy, or work, she and Simone always harmonized so well. That was why they wanted to be lifelong best friends who could trust each other with their backs. “When you participate in the next live variety show, I’ll go to the film academy to see if there are any talented newcomers. We can even invest in producing our own films. Gwen said, “I have quite a bit of money, so I can invest it in the studio.” She added with a bold attitude, “I’ll sponsor all of you. Although her mother did not favor her and her brother, they were raised by their grandfather. Before he passed away, he intentionally favored them and left them with six percent of the shares, evenly distributed among the siblings. That was because after Leon went to study at Cebros, he was influenced by Mrs. Foster, He foolishly wanted to bring their grandfather back to Cebros to create a harmonious family. This angered their grandfather, who only gave him a share. In the end, their grandfather gave Gwen all the antiques he collected and the assets that did not belong to the Foster Family so that she would have something to rely on if she ever wanted to leave the family. Her older brother and other cousins received nothing from their grandfather. It served them right, as they had distanced themselves from their grandfather all these years because of 1/3 Chapter 79 I Knew It Wasn’t That Simple Mrs. Foster. Only the siblings had stayed by their grandfather’s side for many years. After he passed away and she returned to the Foster Family, it was because of the things their grandfather left behind that she had the confidence and strength to oppose her mother and others. The rest of the Foster Family was extremely jealous and covered the shares she held. Even Mrs. Foster openly and secretly hinted at her, not only wanting her to give the shares to Skyler but also wanting the antiques their grandfather left behind Gwen pretended not to understand and ignored her. If she got annoyed, she would retort a few words. She would not be like her foolish older brother who would go up to their mother and be used by her as soon as she showed a little motherly love. Because of this Mrs. Foster disliked her daughter even more. It was because she could not bear to part with the things in her hands that she would scold her while at the same time, begging her to come home: Every year, Gwen received dividends of tens of millions from the Foster Family shares. After going abroad, she worked at Harold’s company She was busy every day and did not have much time or energy to go out and spend So she had accumulated several billion in her hands. Simone knew her friend was a wealthy woman and joked. “Okay, we’ll wait for you to sponsor us.” She would also work hard to earn money and invest in the studio Plus, she had invested some of the money in the stock market before Later, she planned to do some ceomancy work. She would also take some time to the jade market at the border and bring back some jade to sell as protective talismans, making money and connections. Thinking of this, she reminded Gwen. Your grandfather left behind several antiques that have auspicious energy. They can be used as good protective talismans or mystical tools Don’t sell them Gwen nodded. ‘Dont worry I’ve stored them all in a bank safe specifically for these items. I have plenty of money, I won’t sell them. If I leave them at home. I’m afraid they’ll be gone by the time I come back. Mom and the others are all coveting them, especially her. Her desire for the annques left to me by my grandfather exceeds my share in my hands I wonder what she wants to use them for She shook her hand speechlessly Look she even covets this string of bracelets in my hand. She has hinted several times before, saying that she likes it and wants me to give it to her. I pretended not to hear, and then she went to my brother to hint that she liked it That fool. Leon, came to me and said. It’s just a string of bracelets. Since Mom wants it, just give it to I was so angry at the time: I wanted to hit him. This was especially sought by my grandfather, and he asked me to wear it all the time before he passed away. How can I give it to that woman?” Simone’s gaze fell on the bracelets on Gwen’s wrist. In her previous life, she could not directly see the true value of these beads, but she had recently attended a mini timeline focused on mystical arts, and her proficiency in this area had greatly improved. Now, she could easily discern its true nature. She remarked. This is an incredibly potent mystical tool for self–protection. It can ward off disasters and save lives in critical moments. No wonder she desires IL.” She also wore a jade pendant around her neck, a gift from her master, which held a similar significance to these crystals. Gwen smiled self–deprecatingly upon hearing her words. “I knew it wasn’t that simple. She typically 2/3 Chapter 79 I Knew It Wasn’t That Simple adorns herself with high–quality jewelry and limited–edition luxury bracelets. How could she possibly appreciate a string of bracelets?” Simone examined the beads and pondered for a moment before inquiring. “Does Mrs. Foster possess knowledge of mystical tools?” Gwen shook her head. “Probably not.” “But she does have a fondness for collecting antiques. My father has auctioned off many for her. However, once she acquires them, she doesn’t seem to hold them in high regard. If she doesn’t like them, she simply accumulates them in a room. I overheard her two assistants privately discussing how she has given away a significant number of them. Im unaware of who the recipients are, though.” Simone cautioned, “If you return in the future, pay attention to this aspect of her behavior. Many antiques can serve as mystical tools. It seems there is more to her acquisitions than meets the eye” Initially, Gwen had not paid much attention to these matters. However, upon hearing Simones words. she also sensed that something was amiss. “Alright, I’ll be more observant next time and have the butler keep an eye on her. The butler was her grandfather’s trusted aide, who had secretly protected and assisted her, Simone nodded. “Hmm, but be cautious.

Chapter 78 Poaching After ending the call, Gwen ego.” He indeed was the worst. t next to Simone with a smile. “Well done! Sc’mbag No. 2 has an inflated She smirked. “Insulting him alone won’t satisfy my anger. Not only do I want to make them angry, but I also want to poach their men.” Gwen was surprised and asked excitedly, “Who exactly?” Simone replied. The operations director of Gray Group, along with the team he leads. After Sembag No. I took over Gray Entertainment, Sembag No. 2 also joined the company as a manager. They didn’t like the original operations director, so they promoted their person,” she continued. “They even made a mistake and demoted the former director, Mr. Wills, to a supervisor, along with his team. Since they look down on them, we’ll take advantage of it Gwen’s eyes lit up. “I like the sound of that. They underestimate them, but the demoted team will shine in our studio. By then, Sc’mbag No. 1 and No. 2 will be furious.” Simone blinked. “That’s right.” Of course, she wanted to poach their employees mainly because she had studied that operations team, who were indeed excellent. Gwen decided to stop shopping for clothes. “Let’s end our shopping trip here today and start working.” Simone stood up, and the two changed into their original clothes, purchasing everything they liked before. They left their address, and the mall would deliver the clothes to their home. Hand in hand, they walked to the car. “Simone, where should we ambush them?” She replied, “I found out that Mr. Wills has been picking up his kid from school every day recently, Let’s go to the school gate and meet him there.” If they wanted to poach their men, they had to do it discreetly and could not openly go to their company. It would be detrimental if Sc*mbag No. 1 and No. 2 found out and intentionally hindered them. Then, she mentioned an address. Gwen turned on the navigation and drove out of the parking lot. “Simone, after we poach the operations team, should we get you an assistant?” she asked. “Then, we can recruit and discover more artists.” She was now filled with enthusiasm and wanted to achieve something with Simone. Simone nodded. “Yes, I do need an assistant. I’ve been searching for one recently, but I haven’t found a suitable candidate. I’m not only an artist but also a part–time manager for artists, so I have high expectations for assistants. I just want to find a suitable candidate without wasting time and energy on constant changes.” At that, Gwen pondered for a moment and said, “How about I recommend someone to you?” 1/3 Chapter 78 Poaching Simone was interested and said. “Sure! Tell me about them. Gwen was someone she trusted. Gwen replied, “I have a college classmate who used to be my roommate. We have a good relationship. Her mother was hospitalized due to illness before, and she took a leave of absence to take care of her for some time. Her boss was dissatisfied and wanted her to return to work, even assigning her many tasks to complete during her leave. As a result, she had no time to take care of her mother. And taking leave meant no salary. So, she was forced to resign. “A few days ago, I saw in our group chat that she’s looking for a job. She’s trying to find a job that can advance her a few months salary because she needs the money for her mother’s surgery. But such jobs hard to find. She’s capable. hardworking, meticulous, and not someone who talks too much. So, I think she’d be suitable to be your assistant. She paused and continued. “She comes from a single–parent family. Her father passed away when she was young. Her mother never remarried for the sake of her and her younger sister. She works two jobs, one to repay the debt her father borrowed when he was ill and the other to support her and her sister’s education. She started working part–time in college to earn a living and reduce her mother’s burden. I’d stayed at her place for a few days. Although they aren’t wealthy, it is warm and full of love.” Simone admired that warmth and motherly love. It was precious, and she hoped to preserve it. She thought for a moment and asked, “If she becomes my assistant, there may be times when she’ll get super busy or even have to leave Cebros. Can she handle that?” Gwen replied. “Yes, she can. Her sister will graduate from college this year and has decided not to look for a job temporarily but to take care of their mother in the hospital. So, she’ll work and earn money for the surgery and medical expenses. She has work experience, so her salary will be much higher than that of a recent college graduate. The bond between the three of them is very strong” She added, “She had a boyfriend before, and they almost got married. But then her mother suddenly fell ill, needing surgery and ongoing medical expenses. Her boyfriend and her family allowed her to send money to her mother every month, but she couldn’t quit her job and go back home to take care of her family. They wanted her sister to take care of her. Otherwise, they would postpone the wedding. They had been dating for several years, and she liked that guy. But after he made such a request, she broke up with him. So, besides her capability. I also highly value her character.” Simone felt the same. “From what you’ve said. I think she’s great. Contact her and see if she’s willing to work for me. If we decide to hire her as an assistant, we’ll give her an advance salary.” Gwen nodded. “Okay, I’ll contact her tonight.” She asked again. “For artist recruitment, should we poach from other entertainment companies or nurture unknown talents?” Simone said meaningfully. “You tell me. Should we abandon and suppress the artists from Gray Entertainment or intentionally bring them over and cultivate their popularity?” She decided to sever ties with the Gray Family, and no matter what happened, she would never reconcile with them again. Originally, for the sake of her favorite job and life, she wanted to work hard to make more people like her and cut ties with that family. However, to force her to submit. Sc*mbag No. 1 and No. 2 wanted to blacklist her in the industry. Subsequently, they hired fake accounts to praise Jodie and criticize Simone on the variety show. This time, they went even further by constantly painting Jodie as the angel and launching attacks against her. 2/3 Dec Chapter 78 Poaching K55% Had she not planned ahead and saved those photos, she would have been in a difficult situation. Additionally, Zac’s team was influential. Now, she was the one facing criticism and attacks all over the internet. After being blacklisted, who would want to hire her? How would she be able to continue her career in the industry? This was cutting off her future path, which was simply too much. She did not want to have any further entanglements with them, but that did not mean she would allow them to bully and exploit her. If everyone minded their own business, they could coexist peacefully. However, Sc’mbag No. I and No. 2 had caused her so much harm and wanted to destroy her future, so she had to retaliate. Poaching artists, utilizing Gray Entertainment’s resources, and expanding her studio were some ways of seeking revenge. Those who could not make her popular and even intentionally suppressed and marginalized her would now flourish under her guidance. Not only would it embarrass the Grays, but it would also make Sc’mbag No. 1 and No. 2 experience the bitter taste of regret after their failure. Gray Entertainment was powerful, always attempting to blacklist and attack her, not allowing her to survive in the industry. If that was the case, she would take their place and bring Gray Entertainment down. The one who had the last word was the winner.
