Rebecca had full faith in Charlotte’s abilities. Starlight Media was the top dog in the industry, and they could handle all sorts of problems without anyone even noticing.

On her way back, Rebecca called Jessica and filled her in on what she’d discussed with Charlotte.

She didn’t want to involve Kate’s company because she didn’t want to drag them into the Quinn family’s

mess.

The Pierce family was one of the Big Four Families in Honnala, so if they stepped in, nobody would dare mess with them. But if Jessica and Kate tried to get involved, they’d probably get caught up in all the drama.

“There’s barely any news about you online right now. At most, it’s worth three million,” Jessica said, echoing Charlotte’s thoughts. “Why did you pay so much?”

As long as the story hadn’t hit the internet yet, Starlight Media could make it disappear whenever they wanted -no problem at all.

“Charlotte’s the kind of person you want on your side. Paying extra is just my way of winning her over and building a connection,” Rebecca said, totally unfazed. “It’s not like I’m short on cash anyway.”

If the files had her seventy percent convinced, that face–to–face talk sealed the deal–Rebecca had zero doubts

After thinking it over, Jessica finally said, “Do you remember Edward Leighton from that last party? The guy who tried to flirt with you right after we walked in?”

“Yeah, I remember,” Rebecca replied. She usually had a terrible memory, but everything from that night stuck with her. “What’s up?”

“When you were talking to Max, I saw Edward and Charlotte together, laughing and chatting with a group of
