Chapter 75
Flustered, Sammy fled the scene in a hurry.
When it was just the two of them, the manager asked Emilio, “Mr.
Howard, who was that other guy?”
Emilio shot him a meaningful look and said, “Don’t mess with him, or else you won’t be able to keep this club.
”
At this, the manager trembled in fear.
Who on earth was that big shot?
Lindsey helped Lynne walk out of the club.
As soon as they reached the door, Lynne rushed to a nearby tree and hurled.
When she was done, Lindsey considerately handed her a tissue and asked, “Are you okay?”
By now, Lynne had sobered up a little.
She looked at Lindsey with a complicated look in her eyes.
But she still couldn’t walk steadily.
Lindsey helped her to a bench nearby and ordered, “Rest here for now.
I’ll send you home when you feel better.
”
“You… Don’t you have anything to ask me?”
Lynne lowered her head shamefacedly.
“It’s your private life.
” Naturally, Lindsey’s mind was buzzing with questions, but she knew that it was none of her business.
Lynne smiled bitterly.
“Actually, it’s work-related.
”
“‘Work-related’?” Lindsey was puzzled.
“You asked me why the company was so hell-bent on promoting Jasmine, remember?” Lynne raised her head and looked at Lindsey, her eyes full of an emotion that Lindsey couldn’t understand.
“It’s because she has a big backer.
”
“What? Who?”
Lindsey was even more perplexed.
If Shelia really had such a powerful benefactor, then why did Kendra serve Benny like a humble slave for so many years and covet the property of the Stewart family?
Lynne shook her head.
“I don’t know.
But I do know that the company has signed too many artists Like Jasmine.
In this industry, if an artist doesn’t have a powerful backer, they wouldn’t be able to stand out, no matter how excellent they are.
Like you, I too graduated at the top of my class from a top university.
I even got a master’s degree afterward.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
I thought that I’d have a successful career if I could just enter Vitality
Entertainment.
But I’ve been working for this damned company for a decade now, and I have nothing to be proud of.
I’ve only been an agent to unknown artists.
I can’t even get promoted to a director.
People younger and less capable than me have become the agents of A-listers because they have connections.
But I…” Tears welled up in Lynne’s eyes and her voice cracked.
Maybe it was because she was still a bit drunk that she spilled the beans with no filter.
“So tonight, you…” Lindsey frowned.
“I fell for that guy’s bullshit.
He owns Joy Media, and he claimed to have connections with Mr.
Howard.
He said he’d help me if I met up with him tonight, so I didn’t refuse.
But it turned out that he just wanted to get me drunk and… And…” At this, Lynne covered her face in despair.
Lindsey put her hand on Lynne’s shoulder in a feeble attempt to comfort her, but even she felt terrible for Lynne.
She had entered the company with the same dream as Lynne, but reality turned out to be so cruel.
