Chapter 257 Chris’ Warning

“Furthermore, with the change of the sponsors of the program, there would be talks about changing the judges as well. Hence, it would be impossible for anyone to obtain any concrete information, even if it was someone from the inner circle.”

Melanie choked slightly. “Then what about me?” Since she lacked the foundation, Chris hired a teacher for her to study under, albeit for a few days. If she couldn’t buy the judges out, she knew she wouldn’t make it to the end with the number of talents in this competition. If I can’t be the winner here, what’s the point of me even entering in the first place?

Chris repeated the same instructions. “You just need to stick to the original plan.”

Although Chris called it a plan, all Melanie had to do in that ‘plan’ was to ordinarily compete. How could this even be called a plan? Then, she sneered, “You can’t even handle something as minor as this?”

Chris’ expression grew chilly in an instant. “There are many things that can’t be solved with money. According to my understanding, Greyson Realty isn’t doing so well right now, right? I’ve seen my fair share of how things go in the entertainment industry. I know what I’m doing.”

“You…” Listening to Chris hitting it on the nail regarding Greyson Realty with that chilly expression, Melanie felt it wasn’t a good time to go against him and replied bluntly, “Fine.”

Chris remained stern in his expression. “There is something else I have to tell you, Miss Melanie Greyson.”

Hearing Chris address her as such, Melanie was surprised and became suspicious, as he had never once addressed her like this ever since she signed up with the company. At first, she frowned at Chris, but immediately collected her expression when she assumed he was angry. “What is it?”

“You should know this is the entertainment industry and not your own home. It is a melting pot where all manner of men exist, including those who outrank even your family. I advise you to keep your temper in check, so you wouldn’t offend the wrong people in the industry. Furthermore, you’re just an amateur right now. You should be building your career step-by-step. With your attitude like this, you won’t go far in the industry.” Although Chris was speaking calmly, his tone exuded pressure.

Perhaps it was due to Melanie finding some truth in Chris’ words that she managed to stop herself from bursting out in rage. “Fine. I get what you’re saying,” she said reluctantly.

However, Chris continued, “I don’t think you do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have this attitude right now. I hope you will think about what I’ve said.” Considering Melanie’s temper, Chris knew if he pushed the issue any further, the only person who would be troubled would be himself. Hence, he decided that this was as far as he would go for now. Naturally, he hoped that she would change herself. Otherwise, he would need to consider terminating her contract, as he wouldn’t allow her to be the reason for his downfall, especially when he had fought tooth and nail to be such a well-known manager. Without waiting for Melanie’s reply, he left.

Just then, Melanie was called by the crew. And so, she left for the rehearsals.

On the other hand, as soon as Vania left, Hanson immediately instructed Larry, “I want you to thoroughly investigate the incidents five years ago.”

Startled at his instructions, Larry asked, “President Luke, did you find out something new?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

With a harsh tone, Hanson replied, “I’m afraid that incident wasn’t that simple, especially when that man is in the picture.”

“Eddie Luke?” Larry cried out in surprise but immediately stopped himself. His eyes became as cold as Hanson’s. In the past, Hanson’s uncle launched a coup d’état but lost his life when he lost the battle.

However, the whereabouts of Eddie Luke remained unknown to this day after he was sent abroad.

If what happened five years ago was a part of Eddie’s plan, then he must be waiting for the opportunity to take Hanson down. With the enemy in hiding while Hanson was out in the open, it was a disadvantaged situation for his president. “President Luke, should we start a new investigation on the little masters?”
