Chapter 402\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arriving at the Starlight Media building, Larissa went up to the second floor. She walked over to the nearest desk, asked for directions to the CEO\u2019s office, and after a quick \u201cthank you,\u201d made her way there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Agents, assistants, and PR staff looked up from their work, their eyes following her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo idea. Maybe a new artist they signed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer style is pretty unique. Not like anyone else on our roster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa pushed open the door to the CEO\u2019s office and frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unexpectedly, both Finley and Leopold Judson were inside. Finley was leaning back in the executive chair, reading a document while his secretary, Ursa, gave him the latest work report. Leopold was lounging on a soft leather sofa, his impeccably tailored suit accentuating his tall frame. A shadow of melancholy hung over his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he saw Larissa, Leopold\u2019s eyes lit up. He shot up from the sofa, his movements urgent and a little clumsy, and rushed toward her. He reached out, his voice trembling with excitement. \u201cLarissa, you\u2019re here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was filled with an undisguised joy, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa, however, recoiled as if he were something foul. She sidestepped his touch and walked past him, her expression a mask of indifference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her cold gaze fell on Finley, who was still seated behind the desk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley, Starlight Media is under my management now. What are you still doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold\u2019s hand froze in mid\u2013air. A flicker of hurt crossed his face, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, and for a moment, he was a pitiable sight. He said nothing, simply lowered his hand and quietly returned to the sofa, his eyes fixed on Larissa. A thousand words seemed to be trapped behind his gaze, all suppressed in the depths of his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa, who had been reporting to Finley, stared at Larissa, her eyes wide with disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked cautiously, \u201cMr. Judson, is what she\u2019s saying true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUrsa, you can leave us for now,\u201d Finley said, his voice still carrying the authoritative tone. of a CEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Larissa lifted her chin, her eyes cool. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to go anywhere. Stay right here. In a few minutes, you can inform the rest of the staff that from now on, I, Larissa, am in charge of Starlight Media.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 402\u00a0<\/p>\n
The secretary hesitated, her expression doubtful. No official transfer memo had been\u00a0<\/p>\n
issued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa pulled out the share transfer agreement she\u2019d signed the day before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee this? I am now the largest shareholder of Starlight Media.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa\u2019s eyes widened as she read the document. \u201cI understand, Ms. Judson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa tucked the agreement away and gestured toward Finley. \u201cGood. Now get him out of here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa\u2019s face twisted in distress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what, Finley had been her boss. Even though the company had a new owner, she couldn\u2019t bring herself to personally escort her former superior out the door. She simply didn\u2019t have the heart, or the nerve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By now, the confident air Finley usually carried had vanished. A bitter smile touched his lips as he looked at Larissa, his eyes filled with pain. \u201cLarissa, do you really have to be like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
