Chapter 416\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa didn\u2019t press the matter further. She took the signed resignation letters and left the office\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa picked up her phone and called Nightveill\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nightvel, I need you to transfer some of our organization\u2019s people over to Starlight Media\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nightvel sounded surprised. \u201cBoss, isn\u2019t it a bit of an overkill to have our people working at Starlight Media?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had a point. Their organization was a clandestine global alliance of elite talents\u2013hackers who could breach national defense systems, Pulitzer\u2013winning wear photographers, and stock market wizards who had triggered financial crises on Wall Street\u00a0<\/p>\n
Assigning these top\u2013tier experts to an entertainment company was like asking a quantum physicist to design stage holograms, a nanomaterials expert to improve stage costumes, or a behavioral psychologist to write fan engagement strategies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it would also be a crushing asymmetric attack on every other entertainment company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa chuckled. Think of it as a short vacation for them. Once the \u201cHeaver\u2019s Will\u201d project is complete, the company won\u2019t be short\u2013staffed anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Ursa distributed the approved resignation letters, the departing employees were shocked. They had fully expected the new CEO to drag her fest and make the process difficult\u00a0<\/p>\n
This fast? She didn\u2019t even try to convince us to stay?\u201d asked Magnus, the acquisitions department\u00a0<\/p>\n
manager\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa sighed. \u201cYou all had already decided to leave. Would you have really stayed if Ms. Judson had\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Looks like she\u2019s just given up, Magnus said with a smirk, turning to the remaining employees. \u201cSee? The rest of you can wait around for unemployment. I\u2019m off to Gale Entertainment tomorrow. Double the salary, here I come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few of the employees who had chosen to stay began to waver, wondering if they had made the right choice. Others remained focused on their work, convinced that Gale Entertainment wouldn\u2019t waste so much money on them for long. They\u2019d probably be laid off within a month, maybe even before their probationary period was over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before the end of the day, Larissa visited the main office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor those of you who are staying\u201d she announced, \u201cI want you to compile a detailed summary of all the work you\u2019ve done for the company. The more detail, the better. I want it on my desk by the end of the day Friday!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The remaining staff exchanged confused glances, wondering what their new CEO was planning. But since they had chosen to stay, they had no choice but to follow her orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the Neverending Night, a high\u2013end private club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora had been brought to a luxurious VIP suite on a private floor. Guards stood outside her door, leaving her alone inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stood before the bathroom mirror, her heart twisting in agony as she stared at her reflection. The swelling on her face from the poison had finally subsided, but now it was marred by a deep, bone\u2013exposing gash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was all Larissa\u2019s fault. She would destroy Larissa,\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew Lucius felt the same way; otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t have rescued her from Paxton and his family. Whatever Lucius wanted from her, she would do it, as long as it meant Larissa\u2019s downfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And who knew, maybe she could even capture Lucius\u2019s heart in the process. After all, she was Regal City\u2019s most talented belle, far superior to his fianc\u00e9e, Livia. Her scars were temporary. With the right treatment, her beauty would be restored.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, she heard a commotion outside the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora\u2019s eyes lit up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius was here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
