Chapter 505\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that he had Leopold\u2019s attention, Magnus pressed on. \u201cIf you become more powerful than your sister, she\u2019ll eventually see the immense value you can bring her. Then you won\u2019t have to chase her; she\u2019ll come to you, desperate to make amends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold\u2019s hands clenched into fists. \u201cWhat are you getting at?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus snatched the sheet music from his hand. \u201cShe won\u2019t promote you, but we will at Gale Entertainment. Leopold, you\u2019re too talented to be buried at Starlight Media. You need to strike while the iron is hot. The entertainment industry moves at lightning speed. If you disappear from the scene for six months, a year, you\u2019ll be replaced by someone new.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd by then, when you have no fame left, you can forget about ever earning Larissa\u2019s forgiveness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome to Gale Entertainment. We\u2019ll make you a generation\u2013defining artist, the brightest new star in the music world. When that happens, how could your sister possibly ignore you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus looked down at the sheet music and shook his head with feigned regret. \u201cSuch a shame\u2026 a truly criminal waste. A song this good, left to gather dust instead of being properly promoted. If we backed you, you could be the number one artist in the music scene in less than two years!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold began to waver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus was right. If he accomplished nothing, his sister would only look down on him more. The only way to earn her respect was to become powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThink about it, Leopold,\u201d Magnus said, handing back the sheet music along with his new business card. \u201cIf you need me, give me a call.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting back in his car, Magnus glanced at Leopold, who was still standing motionless by the curb, and a smug smile spread across his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heh. Winning over Leopold was turning out to be almost too easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Long after Magnus drove away, Leopold remained rooted to the spot, staring at the business card in his hand. Magnus\u2019s words echoed in his mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The industry changed too quickly. He didn\u2019t have time to waste. He couldn\u2019t just disappear. He had to become a star\u2013so famous that his sister could no longer ignore him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But if he went to Gale Entertainment, Larissa would see it as yet another betrayal. What was he supposed to do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa already knew Magnus had been waiting outside the building, thanks to a tip from 001, who was keeping watch downstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had driven away only to circle back a few minutes later, parking across the street where she had a clear view of the entire exchange between Leopold and Magnus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though she couldn\u2019t hear their conversation, she could guess what Magnus was saying. He was trying to poach Leopold from Starlight Media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 505\u00a0<\/p>\n
And from Leopold\u2019s reaction, it was clear he was wavering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And to think Leopold had the gall to promise her he\u2019d give up everything just to earn her forgiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa made a bet with herself. She bet that Leopold would ultimately choose Gale Entertainment. He was just like Finley, rotten to the core and utterly untrustworthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had hoped, for a fleeting moment, that he might have changed. But he was still the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How boring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To think she\u2019d actually expected something different. What a waste of a trip back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa rolled up her window and drove away, heading toward Palmer Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back at Gale Entertainment, Magnus reported his meeting with Leopold to Damon. As it happened, Benedict, Lucius, and his assistant were also in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus stood before the table, respectfully greeting Lucius before turning to Damon. \u201cDamon, I spoke with Leopold today. I guarantee he\u2019ll choose to break his contract with Starlight Media and come to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:14\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long?\u201d Damon asked, looking up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
