The manager tried to stop Corin, but it was toote.


    “Why did thepany give Reece the resources meant for me? Who does he think he is? How can he


    evenpare to me?”


    Corin was furious. For years, he had been given top–tier resources of Russell Entertainment, but now


    they were being handed to a neer who had just graduated from college and hadn’t even made his


    debut yet.


    Sophie leaned back in her chair. “You want to know why?”


    “Yes.” Corn eximed, his anger boiling over. “Did Reece give you some kind of personal favor, Ms.


    Sophie? Or is he, perhaps, under you…


    “Bang-!” Sophie mmed the folder in her hand down on the desk.


    Corin’s heart skipped a beat at her action. He had assumed Sophie was naive, a neer to the


    industry, a push–over, but now he found a dangerous warning in her eyes.


    Sophie said coldly, “Corin, you are just an artist under contract with thepany. Watch your words.”


    Corin, stubbom as ever, shot back, “I am thepany’s most popr artist. Thepany’s annual


    performance depends solely on me. You’ve just gotten here. How can you justify redirecting my


    resources to someone else?”


    The manager, watching Sophie’s reaction, started sweating bullets.


    Sophie sneered, “Your resources? Everything you have is because thepany invested in you. Look


    around, you barely make it as a second–tier male star. You say thepany’s performance relies on


    you alone, but have you even looked at these ounts?”


    Sophie threw an ounting ledger in front of Corin. His expression darkened, and even the manager


    felt like he was on pins and needles.


    Sophie continued calmly, “Subsidizing all thepany’s earnings to Corin alone, Wayne, you really


    have some nerve.”


    “Ms. Sophie, please, let me exin…

    The manager’s voice trembled with fear. He had done this to cope with the demands of Russell


    Enterprises. Otherwise, Russell Entertainment would have closed down years ago.


    However, he had altered the ounts. How could Sophie still detect something was off?


    Sophie red coldly at the manager who was scrambling for excuses.


    Everypany has one or two executives who manipte financial records for personal gain, thinking


    they won’t get caught as long as the money is reced.


    Wayne and Corin had been leaving gaps in the books for three years, despite her wamings since


    taking over. They thought they wouldn’t get caught, assuming she was just a figurehead. They were


    wrong.


    Detecting tampered ounts was a piece of cake for her.


    “Wayne, I’m giving you two options.”


    “Ms. Sophie


    “The first, you’re fired.”


    Wayne turned pale.


    “The second, resign voluntarily.” Sophie smiled. “Choose one.”


    Wayne swallowed hard, his legs trembling. He had been at Russell Entertainment for over a decade,


    and now he faced dismissal.


    Sophie was ruthless, determined to weed out the rot early.


    “I choose to resign voluntarily.” Wayne was a mess of tears and snot.


    Sophie said inly, “Then you can leave now.”


    After dealing with Wayne, Sophie turned back to Corin. “Il give you two choices too.


    After witnessing Wayne’s dismissal, Corin felt a chill in his heart.
