Sophie had no clue what was really going on, she just assumed nobody managed to snap Yolanda’s photo. Regret gnawed at her–only I’d gotten a shot earlier!‘ she thought.

If she had, she could’ve splashed Yolanda’s pic all over her live room and let everyone see why this lady managed to parachute straight into Starlight–no way she’d land that gig without some powerful man backing her, probably as his secret lover!

Sophie didn’t let up, sniffling about her 3.6 million debt and ranting that Yolanda was nothing but a ruthless money–grubber, not even human in her eyes.

Online, playing the poor victim always draws the crowd, and with a CEO on the other side, the drama was irresistible–the topic blazed up the trending charts, catching everyone’s eye.

Suddenly, Sophie’s live room was packed with 30 thousand viewers–she’d never seen numbers like this before, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

‘Am I about to blow up?‘ Sophie thought, her heart racing.

‘Oh my god, I could be a mid–tier celebrity soon!‘

‘This is something I never even dared to imagine before!‘

Sophie doubled down, ranting away and painting Yolanda as a shameless opportunist–someone who did nothing but exploit female artists while shamelessly playing favorites with the guys, a total sellout in Sophie’s

eyes.

Yolanda leaned against her headboard and gave a relaxed laugh. “Are you guys kidding me right now? With that mob outside Starlight, you really think I can just walk in and not get eaten alive?”

“Ms. Grant, this whole mess is on you, and you’re the one who has to fix it! If the stock keeps dropping and hits limit down, then what are we supposed to do?!” the executives pressed, voices rising.

“Then let it hit limit down. It’s not like my life depends on those shares,” Yolanda replied, unfazed.

“You-!”

Ken Ford was so pissed, he almost hurled his phone across the room.
