Jared said, “Oh, boss, I’m not sure.
Victor was fine before, and his work is solid.
Why is he being so difficult this time? Give me a moment, I’ll look into it.
”
“Okay,” Madisyn replied, ending the call just as another call came in.
It was Andrew.
“Did Tatiana cause trouble for you?”
“Yes, but Howard has taken care of it,” Madisyn replied, her hand absentmindedly massaging the space between her eyebrows.
She chose not to mention Milly’s strength just yet; after all, she hadn’t uncovered anything substantial about her and decided it was best to observe for a bit longer.
Andrew’s voice softened over the line.
“There’s a banquet tomorrow night.
Would you like to join me? Many influential figures in the entertainment industry will be there.
”
“No problem,” Madisyn responded with a smile.
After hanging up, she returned to her work, but her attention was soon captured by the news shing on herptop screen.
It seemed that fame was always apanied by its fair share of troubles.
Thetest headline detailed how Milly and Kiley were vying for the same supporting female role.
Their photographs had already circted, revealing Milly’s striking appearance beside Madisyn.
Initially, everyone was captivated by her beauty, but when it became known that she had auditioned for the supporting role, the public’s awe turned to mockery.
“This woman is merely a fledgling actress.
How dare she aspire to be the second female lead in Victor’s TV drama? Doesn’t Victor abhor when neers bit off more than they could chew?”novelbin
“Precisely.
Victor once invested copious time and effort in guiding a new actress, yet she proved adept at portraying only a single character type.
He still harbors deep regret over this.
”
“Kiley might have the chops for the second female lead, but this woman? I don’t even know her name.
”
“Surely, stardom isn’t just a gift for the good-looking, right? She’s clearly got an inted view of herself.
Victor won’t pick her.
”
Since no one knew Milly, the fact that she had sparked such a discussion made it easy to specte about the instigator behind the scenes.

As the workday drew to a close, Madisyn made her way downstairs to leave.
Upon reaching her parents’ vi, she encountered Rowan.
“Glenn, don’t you think your actions border on cruelty?” Rowan’s expression was tinged with sadness.
Glenn responded icily, “Compared to your family’s deeds, my actions scarcely qualify as cruel.
”
“I acknowledge Courtney overstepped, and I’ve made her introspect.
But we’re family.
Surely, mo one would agree to strip me of my dividend,” Rowan argued.
With a derisive snort, Glenn presented the vote result.
“Everyone consented.
”
Rowan, though not employed by thepany nor a shareholder, had always received a dividend, which had sparked some displeasure among the shareholders.
Now, everyone had agreed to its revocation.
Rowan’splexion nched.
He hadn’t anticipated such overwhelming opposition.
