Hearing his own sister call him trash felt like a knife in Leopold\u2019s heart. But he couldn\u2019t deny it. To her, that\u2019s what he had become.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go, Leopold,\u201d Magnus said, already heading for the door. \u201cOne day, your sister will deeply regret letting you go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold stood up and took one last look at Larissa\u2019s impassive face. It was clear she had nothing more to say to him. He turned and left without\u00a0<\/p>\n
another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they were leaving the Starlight Media building, they passed a man in a stylish blue casual suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold frowned. As the man headed up the stairs, he turned to Magnus. \u201cThat was Wynn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus stopped. \u201cWynn?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold nodded. \u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s he doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a long\u2013time industry insider, Magnus knew every major player. Wynn was a name he hadn\u2019t heard in years. The man had won a top award for his debut film, only to have his career implode after a scandal involving his assistant. He had completely fallen off the map.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t tell me he\u2019s the male lead for \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018,\u201d Magnus mused, then broke into a laugh. \u201cLeopold, if your sister is actually casting Wynn, she\u2019s digging her own grave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold said nothing. He had the same sinking feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLooks like making \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 a ratings disaster will be easier than I thought,\u201d Magnus said, getting into his car. \u201cAre you coming to the office today to officially start?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Leopold replied. \u201cI\u2019m going to spend the next few days writing new\u00a0<\/p>\n
14:40\u00a0<\/p>\n
music. I\u2019ll officially start on the first of next month.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d Magnus approved. \u201cWrite some hits. Your debut with Gale needs to be spectacular. I want at least one of your songs in the top ten of the year\u2013end charts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand,\u201d Leopold said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His first song two years ago had shot to number one, making him an overnight sensation. While his subsequent songs hadn\u2019t reached the same height, they had still been popular.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that wasn\u2019t enough. He was going to reach a level no other artist in the industry could touch. Only then would his sister finally see him, forgive him, and accept him back into her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKnock, knock.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa\u2019s voice came from the other side of the door. \u201cMs. Judson, Wynn is here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSend him in,\u201d Larissa called out, moving from her desk to the seating\u00a0<\/p>\n
area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would you like to drink?\u201d she asked as Wynn entered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took off his hat and mask, sitting down opposite her. \u201cJust water is fine, thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa studied him. Gustave had a sharp eye. Wynn was the living embodiment of the male lead from her novel. He had the weary look of someone who had been through hell and back, but there was still a spark of hope in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know why I asked you here,\u201d she began, getting straight to the point. \u201cThe scandal that destroyed your career three years ago\u2013is there more to the story? If there is, tell me now. I can help you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 539\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wynn met her gaze directly. \u201cI\u2019ve heard your name many times. I\u2019ve seen you trending online.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
