Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 194: Desperate and Impatient

The news of Victor refusing to work with Briena spread across the internet and on news channels like wildfire, overtaking the recent announcement of Briena’s plans to sign with a major movie production company for her first official film.

An online feud erupted between Victor’s and Briena’s fans, with each side trolling the opposing actors and exchanging insults. Silvia’s fans rallied behind Victor, joining in on the attacks against Briena’s supporters as Silvia supported Victor’s statement as well.

In response, Briena’s agency mobilized its own "keyboard warriors" to defend her and retaliate.

In her office, Briena seethed as she watched Victor and Silvia’s comments about her to the press. The barrage of online trolling only fuelled her anger further.

"How dare they. Who does Victor think he is? That miserable lapdog of Natalie," Briena snarled, sweeping everything off her desk in a fit of rage. "Natalie... that bitch must have told him to say it. She can’t stand seeing me succeed."

"Calm down, Briena," Ana said soothingly. "Our PR team is handling it."

"What if the production company decides not to sign me anymore?" Briena’s expression shifted to worry. "We haven’t signed the contract yet."

"They won’t back out. We haven’t received any indication of that, which means they’re not concerned with this," Ana reassured her. "They know you’re perfect for the role. If Victor doesn’t want to work with them, that’s his loss."

Briena clenched her teeth. "Once I become a global star after this movie, I’ll make sure Victor and that bitch Silvia never get any more work. They’ll regret this. They’ll beg me to work with them."

"Yes, let’s focus on that," Ana replied, attempting to comfort her. "Once we finalize the contract, the rumors will fade."

"Get it done quickly. I don’t care about the details—I just want to sign it," Briena said, looking desperate.

"We have to wait for the legal team to review it, and your grandmother’s approval," Ana reminded her.

"I don’t care. Contact them and arrange for me to sign it now," Briena ordered. "Don’t tell my grandmother."
