Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 529
The mention of Lucius made Livia’s face turn cold.
“This has nothing to do with Lucius,” she sneered. “I look down on you for who you are. Instead of trying to make amends with the sister who suffered for twenty years because of you, you let an adopted girl wrap you around her little finger and hurt your own blood. In the end, you were thrown out of the Judson family with nothing. And now, you’re here to betray the Judson’s own company, Starlight Media. Leopold, you are a complete joke.”
With a final shove, she pushed past him and walked down the hallway to her right.
Leopold stumbled but caught his balance, his clenched fists slowly uncurling.
She was right. He was a joke. But he couldn’t afford to dwell on that now. He had to become a superstar, so famous that Larissa could no longer ignore him.
With newfound resolve, he turned and marched to the operations manager’s office. He explained the situation to Magnus: to break his contract with Starlight Media, he needed someone to pay the buyout fee. Magnus looked troubled. “I’ll have to run this by the chairman. He’s in the office today. Come with me, but you have to be humble. Make it clear you’re desperate to make it big.”
The word “humble” grated on Leopold’s nerves, but for the sake of his career, he swallowed his pride.
“Fine.”
Pleased with his compliance, Magnus led him to the chairman’s office and laid out the situation for Damon Tyson. Livia was already there, along with another young man.

“Ten million?” Livia scoffed. “Leopold is a tarnished artist. Is he even worth that? Dad, don’t waste resources on him. It’s not a good investment.”
Her words were like a punch to the gut for Leopold.
Damon seemed to agree. He wasn’t keen on spending ten million on what seemed like a lost cause.
However, the young man spoke up, contradicting Livia. “Dad, I think it’s worth a shot. I agree with Magnus; Leopold has immense potential. That woman Larissa is about to release her own music. If her songs become hits, Starlight Media will once again outshine us. We can’t let that happen.”
Livia glared at the young man, who shot her a triumphant smirk.
Magnus seized the opportunity. “Damon, I worked at Starlight for years. I know Leopold. He’s incredibly talented. In today’s music scene, original artists are rare. I guarantee you, if we invest in him now, the returns will far exceed ten million.”
He shot a pointed look at Leopold. Remembering his instructions, Leopold set aside his dignity. “Mr. Tyson, please give me a chance. I promise I won’t let you or your company down.”
Magnus jumped back in. “If you still have reservations, we can add a clause to his contract. His initial earnings will go directly toward repaying the buyout fee. After that, we can implement an 80/20 profit split–80 for the company, 20 for him. It’s a no–lose situation for Gale Entertainment.”
The young man added, “Dad, look at our current roster. They’re either has–beens or internet celebrities who can only write shallow, catchy tunes. None of them have Leopold’s talent.”
Damon wavered. Looking at Magnus, he said thoughtfully, “Alright. Since my son agrees and you’re willing to vouch for him, I’ll trust you on this. I’ve already brought my son into the company. From now on, you’ll report to him on all matters concerning Leopold. It will be good management
