Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 197 Veto Power

I thought for a moment before saying, "I believe a recently debuted celebrity, Elise Howe, would be a suitable candidate."

A brief silence followed as the others exchanged uncertain looks, seemingly unfamiliar with the celebrity by the name of Elise Howe.

If my calculations were right, Elise had likely only been in the industry for just under six months. In my past life, she rose to stardom after a single drama and eventually commanded endorsement fees approaching hundreds of millions of dollars.

Her rise to stardom was imminent within the next month. If I could sign her now, it would undoubtedly yield substantial financial returns.

Jack scoffed and said, "If the goal is to build the company's brand awareness, why would you pick an unknown celebrity? Isn't that just throwing money away?"

He then continued confidently, "I believe a celebrity like Miranda Jilbert would be a great choice. Her credentials as a double award-winning actress ensure both broad recognition and substantial visibility."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I retained a degree of familiarity with Miranda, who maintained a superficial friendship with Elsa. If my memory served me correctly, Miranda was previously embroiled in a tax evasion controversy, which subsequently resulted in the stagnation of her career.

It had to be said that Jack proved to be a sentimental fool, showing his affection for Elsa by extending his care to her acquaintances. He was even willing to lend a hand to Miranda, Elsa's superficial friend.

I shot him a glance and said, "You should try to keep your personal biases in check, Jack."

Jack immediately furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
