Livia paused, then said, \u201cI understand. I\u2019ll be careful. I know you want to take down the Lincoln family, so I\u2019ll do what I can to find evidence\u00a0<\/p>\n
against him for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll handle the evidence,\u201d Larissa replied. \u201cJust focus on staying safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time in a long time, Livia felt a warmth spread through her chest. It had been years since anyone had shown her genuine concern. And now, it was coming from a woman she had only recently met.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in the chairman\u2019s office at Gale Entertainment, only Damon and his son, Theon, remained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad,\u201d Theon said, his expression serious, \u201cabout the lead for \u2018Soaring High\u2018\u2026 we can\u2019t go with Rigby, like my sister suggested.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon looked at his son in surprise. He hadn\u2019t expected him to have such a strong opinion on casting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not? Are you just trying to oppose your sister for the sake of it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not, Dad,\u201d Theon said smoothly. \u201cI\u2019m not that petty. But my sister came all this way just to push for Rigby. Something isn\u2019t right. I\u2019m worried she might have a personal interest in him. If they get involved during filming and Mr. Lincoln finds out, we\u2019ll be in serious trouble. I\u2019m only thinking of what\u2019s best for the company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon nodded thoughtfully. His son had a point. Their partnership with the Lincolns was crucial. If a casting choice jeopardized Livia\u2019s marriage, the consequences would be severe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d Damon conceded. \u201cWe can\u2019t risk upsetting Mr. Lincoln, not now. The marriage has to go through.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 534\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo this: run a background check on Rigby. Dig into his reputation. If there\u2019s anything problematic, we\u2019ll find another lead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gale Entertainment was running on fumes, coasting on its past glory. While still a major player in Regal City, it was struggling to keep up with newer, more agile companies. The backing of the Lincoln family\u2013their capital and their connections\u2013was essential for their survival and\u00a0<\/p>\n
growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll get right on it,\u201d Theon promised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon smiled, satisfied. \u201cTheon, you\u2019ve grown up. I feel confident leaving the company in your hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t let you down, Dad,\u201d Theon replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon leaned back, a sense of accomplishment washing over him. Soon, his daughter would be married to Lucius Lincoln, and his son would be running the company. His life would be complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up with Livia, Larissa leaned back in her chair and called\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nightveil.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need you to dig up everything you can on Damon Tyson, the chairman of Gale Entertainment, and his illegitimate son, Theon Tyson. I want something that will ruin them completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood, boss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa tossed her phone onto the desk and closed her eyes, letting the\u00a0<\/p>\n
silence settle around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBuzz. Buzz.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her phone vibrated. She waited a few minutes before opening her eyes and checking the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 532\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another message from Leopold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Larissa, Gale Entertainment is willing to pay my buyout fee. They believe\u00a0<\/p>\n
I can be a star. I\u2019m asking you one last time: are you sure you won\u2019t forgive me and let me prove my worth at Starlight Media?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smirked and typed back: [Congratulations on jumping into a dumpster fire.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
