“Hey, have you guys seen the recording at the top of search rankings?”
“What gossip is it this time?”
“What else could it be? It turns out, Emma was defamed so badly yesterday because H World Entertainment’s CEO didn’t like that she was disobedient. Who does she think she is? Does she think she is a god that has complete control over others?”
“So the tables turned again?”
The netizens quickly opened the recording at the top of search rankings. It was a complete recording of Emma’s manager, Zephaniah, and H World’s CEO, Xanthe. Many people were familiar with them, so their voices were easily identified.
The content of the recording consisted of Zephaniah asking Xanthe why she wasn’t satisfied after already tarnishing Emma’s reputation and Xanthe arrogantly replying that it was because Emma wasn’t obedient. Even when destroying her own agency’s model, she didn’t hold back at all.
The netizens started discussing how the entertainment industry was like a deep pool of water; when seeking the truth, one should not only look on the surface.
It didn’t take long before Emma became known as the victim. At this time, many people that had experienced similar incidences quickly left messages about their experiences and showed their support.
“It’s amazing for someone to have a lot of money. But, when they use money to destroy other’s dreams and ruin other’s lives, they are downright r*bbish!”
“Xanthe is just the tip of the iceberg. In all honesty, the entertainment industry is like a stinky ditch – filled with r*bbish.”
“Actually, what I truly want to say is, the person that posted up this recording is really cool!”
“The reason why Emma was defamed like this was because she’s been standing in too many people’s way. Emma is too clean and aloof from the world, however, the entertainment industry is all about s**king up to people and building relationsh*ps. Emma, if you continue being the way you are, you will continue to suffer! But, I will still continue to support you. Emma, were you the one that got someone to place the recording at the top of search rankings? If you were…”
“…then please let me bow down to you!”
It hadn’t even been one day and the tables had entirely turned. Of course, onlookers had slowly gotten used to Emma’s ability to deal with defamation. So, they weren’t surprised when the tables were turned. But, the contents of the recording still got people talking.
The day had just headed into night. Xanthe was sitting on her sofa at home looking angrily at the headline that had been sitting at the top of search rankings.
Xanthe pulled out her phone and gave Holden a call. She instructed him to immediately deal with the news, but…Holden could only respond with, “There’s no use. Every time I offer to pay, someone offers to pay double.”
“Have you found out who it is?” Xanthe stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth, “The recording is definitely from Zephaniah, but who is the powerful person backing them? Who has Zephaniah contacted?”
“I couldn’t find anything…Zephaniah could have done it on his own, or with Emma. The other possibility is that he may have found a partner in crime.”
“Didn’t you say you had a surefire plan? Didn’t you say you were going to destroy Emma? Who suffered in the end? Me! Do you know how difficult things were for me when the board of directors heard of the news? I was so tempted to dig a hole to hide inside,” Xanthe yelled angrily. Because she was so emotional, she felt her stomach knot up in pain as she knelt on the floor.
“Although Zephaniah has been in the industry for a long time, even if he was to use his contacts, it wouldn’t be as easy as in the past. However, it’s not hard for him to find an enemy of yours to work with. So, President Lopez…you can no longer delay stripping Zephaniah of his role as Emma’s manager,” the first solution Holden thought of was to separate Emma from Zephaniah.
However, they never imagined…
…the person playing them like monkeys, was Eric!
It had always been Eric!
“Haven’t you been planning to poach artists from other agencies? I think Zephaniah would be better off doing that. We need to isolate Emma before we can think about our next step.”
They had just been slapped in the face, yet they were still thinking of their next step…
Xanthe lay on the sofa breathing loudly, “Your main priority is to find a way to take down the recording. Afterwards, call Zephaniah and tell him we will be swapping out Emma’s manager…”
“Understood”
Holden was detailed and calm, but…sometimes, there were things that a simple Artists Director like himself couldn’t change.
H World’s news for example. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make the other party flinch at all…
…
London. JK’s show was about to start.
For the past two days, Emma had been busy with rehearsals and meetings with JK’s designer. She had been so focused on grasping onto new resources that she did not notice her name had fl*pped New York upside down; even at this moment, the recording bet**en Zephaniah and Xanthe was still headlining all news websites.
As a result, H World suffered a huge blow and their reputation was especially affected.
But, who could they blame?
Whenever Emma had time, she would chat with Eric on the phone. But, never once did Eric tell her about the entertaining things that were happening back in New York.
Because of the recording being exposed, all the paparazzi Xanthe hired ended up being dismissed. But, this didn’t mean Emma was free from danger; there was still the clingy Blossom Media reporter.
“Are you nervous? Take a deep breath!” just before the show was to start, Lisa fanned Emma as she checked how she was feeling.
Emma looked at the chaotic backstage and remained calm, “I am still in disbelief.”
This time, no one was trying to steal her finale, no one was there to tear her apart; the stage was all hers for her to bring glory to herself and her team.
“You can’t believe that Xanthe hasn’t got something planned?” Lisa revealed a huge smile, “Right now she can’t even take care of herself, how would she have time to deal with you?”
“What do you mean?”
Lisa did not respond, but smiled meaningfully. Of course, she also did not tell her, for the sake of witnessing every single beautiful angle of hers during her most dazzling moment, someone once again left behind all their work and flew all the way to see her. This person was currently sitting in the audience…
Seeing Lisa did not respond, Emma did not ask further. She knew she would find out sooner or later.
“Zephaniah is still making a phone call outside. I’ll go check on him, the show is about to start…”
Lisa was worried Emma would continue to question her, so she decided to say she’d look for Zephaniah as an excuse. However, at this time, Zephaniah’s mood was angry and complex…
“It is the agency’s decision for you to leave Emma. As long as you are still a manager working for H World, you will need to listen to the agency’s instructions!” on the other side of the phone, Holden was firm. “Of course, you have the choice to leave H World Entertainment, but Emma is still a model of H World’s, so we will naturally organize a new manager for her. There is no need for you anymore.”
“Place more thought on training newcomers. You are more capable than merely producing one successful model like Yael. Why must you keep going against Emma?” Zephaniah couldn’t comprehend Holden’s actions.
He couldn’t believe that Xanthe was actually dismissing him of his role as Emma’s manager…
