Chapter 469\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Larissa mentioned an opportunity, the angry murmurs died down. The representatives, who seconds ago had been ready to riot, now stood in silent, hopeful anticipation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich three?\u201d someone asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From his table, Magnus muttered to Lucius, \u201cMr. Lincoln, look at them. They have no backbone at all. One minute they\u2019re demanding an apology, and the next they\u2019re licking her boots for a chance to work with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon was equally disgusted. He had hoped to stoke the other companies\u2019 anger to at least give Lucius a small victory by seeing Larissa publicly condemned. But with a single sentence, she had silenced them all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was utterly spineless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The live-stream audience found the rapid shift hilarious. It was the first time anyone had seen Lucius Lincoln so thoroughly outplayed and publicly humiliated. And it was clear now that Larissa had planned this reveal from the very beginning, turning his supposed masterstroke into a public joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[LMAO, they\u2019re still mad, but they can\u2019t resist the chance to work with Field of Lari!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Is this what it means to have talent as your ultimate weapon? She offends two dozen companies and then has the gall to offer them a chance!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Talent or not, she\u2019s made a lot of enemies today. Isn\u2019t she worried about a joint boycott against Starlight Media?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Good point. Starlight is a new company without any major stars. Their artists could really suffer from this.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Speaking of, didn\u2019t they just poach one new artist? Other than Leopold, they don\u2019t have much star power.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Can\u2019t wait to see what happens next!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s voice cut through the suspense. \u201cThe three companies that impressed me were Direction Entertainment, Beacon Media, and Future Films.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The representatives from the named companies beamed with pride, especially the one from Beacon Media. They had started as a small, unknown studio with a roster of new talent. Their big break came when they secured the rights to one of Field of Lari\u2019s earlier novels through sheer sincerity. The show became a massive hit, launching the company and its actors into stardom. They followed that success with another of her novels, cementing their place in the industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[I remember! Beacon Media is the company that adapted two of her books!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Yeah! And I just noticed that Millennium Media, who did another one, isn\u2019t even here today!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are interested,\u201d Larissa continued, \u201cI promise that when it comes to the rights for my next novel, I will give one of your three companies the first right of refusal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 469\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer next novel? That\u2019s a pretty distant promise!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes her so sure her next book will be a hit?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus, sensing an opportunity, tried to stir the pot again. \u201cDon\u2019t let her fool you again! She needs to pay for what she did to us today! From now on, any resource Starlight Media wants, we should all band together and take it from them!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The representatives of the unnamed companies glanced nervously at Lucius. Aside from the industry giants like Gale, Sky, and Celestial, most of them were mid-tier studios. They couldn\u2019t afford to offend Lucius, but they also couldn\u2019t afford to offend Haskell, whose fianc\u00e9e Larissa was. Since she had offered an explanation-and a potential future opportunity-most chose to remain silent, unwilling to push the matter and risk Haskell\u2019s wrath.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Florence is a passionate reader who finds joy in long drives on rainy days. She\u2019s also a fan of Italian makeup tutorials, blending beauty and elegance into her everyday life.<\/p>\n
