Chapter 421

Everyone swapped looks, staying quiet. They could tell Jane was bluffing–hiding her freakout with bravalo. She was probably kicking herself for picking a fight with Nyx earlier.

Whoever could drag Marilyn out of retirement to manage Nyx would not let Nyx go short on resources Hurricane Tech’s Mr. Williams sure as hell didn’t have that kind of pull. Nyx wasn’t lying after all

The apartment buzzed with unease. Nyx settled into the van, closing her eyes for a quick nap, when her phone started buzzing like crazy in her pocket.

She didn’t want to check it—screen time in a car made her queasy–but it wouldn’t stop, so she grudgingly pulled it out Over a dozen unread messages–all from old dormmates, spamming friend requests through the company chat and stuff.

Scanning the names, none were close–some she didn’t even know, never spoken to. Now they were piling on, their motives crystal clear. Nyx ignored them all–didn’t approve a single one.

She opened the pinned company artist chat, ready to bounce, but saw they were going off about Dylan

[Holy crap! Check the livestream! More people are spilling on Dylan!]

[WTF]

[I knew Dylan was a pimp, but drugging too?]

[No wonder so many of his artists quit depressed.]

[He even smashed someone’s nose implant! My new nose just throbbed.]

[AAAAH he kicked a girl ‘til she miscarried!]

[I’m done. Thank god I’m not under him.]

[Same.]

[Dylan’s toast this time, right?]

[Hard to say–boss might cover for him. They’re tight.]

Nyx scrolled up through 99+ messages, slowed her exit, and decided to munch on this drama first. The ride from the dorm to her new place took about an hour. Nyx lurked in the chat, watching the mess explode.

It started with one of Dylan’s ex–artists popping off online–said Dylan forced them into a cash–for–sex deal with some bigwig, unwillingly.

Just a random nobody, and Dylan wasn’t famous, but the stream blew up anyway. More of Dylan’s victims joined in, spilling tea left and right–shocking stuff piling up, views snowballing to insane levels.

Oracle Entertainment had never been this hot. Seafarion didn’t want fame this way–things were spiraling out of his gr

Rich guys who’d dealt with Dylan started getting exposed one by one. People online jumped in, hyped, piecing together the year’s juiciest scandal.

Nyx clicked the list someone posted–sure enough, Mr. Williams was on it. The Williams Group was indeed no more.

[Cops are here–nobody’s saving him now.)

[We’re screwed, sisters–not just Dylan, Seafarion and company are tanking too. Jobless time!]
