Eve heard her father's summons and skipped over, her face lighting up like a Christmas tree. "Hello, Mr. Odom. I'm Eve Cameron."

"This is my daughter," Henry introduced.

Edgar, with a polite smile, responded, "Ah, I didn't expect your daughter to be here as an intern. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Cameron."

Eve blushed, her heart fluttering like a hummingbird's wings. Before she could utter another word, Henry steered her aside.

"Mr. Odom, allow me to introduce the team leader and backbone, Freya George."

Edgar's eyes gleamed with interest as he took in Freya. "Impressive. There aren't many with such a commanding presence in this industry. I believe Miss George will shoot to stardom."

Everyone around was surprised by Edgar's high praise for Freya. They showed looks of astonishment.

Debra, however, was unimpressed. Freya had confronted her earlier out of jealousy, and now Edgar was trying to get close to Oscar through Freya.

Unaware of Edgar's hidden agenda, Freya basked in the p

    Debra's words were a gauntlet thrown, a challenge only she and Edgar understood.Edgar's smile faded like the setting sun.Ashley whispered her ridicule. "Has Debra lost her marbles? Does she really think her dance is worth five billion?""Who does she think she is? She is done for," echoed another trainee.Their eyes gleamed with anticipation of Debra's imminent downfall.Edgar waved a dismissive hand. "I'm not in the mood today. Since you sprained your ankle, let's forget about it."Henry mopped the sweat from his brow, relief flooding through him. He couldn't afford to offend Debra with Juan backing her, nor could he cross Edgar, the head of the Odom family.Eve, ever the opportunist, stepped forward. "Mr. Odom, if Debra won't dance, I will. I'm a much better dancer than her."But Edgar didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, he stood up and said, "Let's wrap this up. I hear you have physical training sessions in the afternoon.""Yes, but the intense training is usually in

    They were going to participate in a show, and offending the investors now was akin to shooting themselves in the foot.Gritting their teeth, the trainees began the grueling run.Debra shot a cold glance at Edgar, aware that he was trying to mess with her and possibly with Oscar too. His tactics were as transparent as they were nauseating.Intentionally falling behind, Oscar leaned close to her and said, "Slow down. Time isn't an issue; keeping your breath steady is most important."Without waiting for her to respond, he added, "I'll be here waiting for you at 8:30 tonight."Then he picked up his pace and ran ahead. Freya watched the exchange, her fists clenched in anger.After an hour of relentless running, they barely managed to finish 30 laps. The boys were holding up, but the girls were struggling. Though in the winter chill, sweat drenched their bodies.Their makeup was smudged, but they couldn't wipe their faces. It was simply tormenting.Edgar observed their exhaustion wi

    "Tango." Debra offered her hand to Edgar, a challenge in her eyes.He took it without hesitation. Henry signaled the broadcast room, and soon, the practice field was filled with the sultry rhythm of the tango.Edgar wrapped an arm around Debra's waist, whispering, "No wonder Juan can't let you go. If you were mine, I wouldn't either.""Is that so?" Debra's response was swift and painful—a stomp on his foot. Edgar winced, but she wasn't done. She stepped on his foot again, driving him back."I heard you're backing Juan's investment in this trainee program. Is it true?""Juan likes you so much. Even with the divorce issue, he still shares everything with you.""You've invested several billion. Aren't you afraid of losing it all?"Edgar shrugged. "Juan's investments are solid. I'm not worried.""Who said that Juan's investments are always safe?" Debra looked up at him, a sly gleam in her eyes. "Believe it or not, I can make that program bleed money within three months."Edgar c

    Henry, who had been worried about Eve, shouted, "Everyone, stop!"His usual composure was thrown to the wind, replaced by a father's desperate cry.The trainees, who had been relentlessly frog-jumping across the field, crumpled to the ground. Exhaustion clung to them like a second skin."Let's see how you're going to make me lose money," Edgar said.Debra smiled enigmatically, her eyes giving nothing away.Edgar walked away, and Henry scurried after him.By nightfall, the intense training had taken its toll. Everyone was too worn out to even lift their forks."My legs feel like they're made of lead.""It's all Debra's fault. If she had just danced earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess."The complaints echoed through the dining hall, but Debra was nowhere to be found.Tomas, puzzled, voiced his thoughts. "What's Edgar playing at? Is he just messing with us, or does he have a screw loose?"Oscar put down his fork and knife and cleared his plate. Tomas shouted after him, "Hey! I

    "Okay, let's switch gears," Debra said, pulling out her phone.She flashed Oscar a screen displaying his electronic signature alongside Potter Entertainment's stamp. "Is this your contract?"Oscar squinted at the screen, recognizing his own signature. "Yeah, that's it."His mother had pushed him into this industry, and he'd signed the contract with Potter Entertainment without understanding the complexities of the business.He handed the phone back and asked, "Where did you get this?""Do you want out?""Out? Where?""Edgar has invested in this program, and your chance of debuting is sealed."Debra laid out the worst-case scenario. "If you stay, you're looking at endless obscurity, debt, and penalties your family can't afford. Another agency might pick you up, but success? That's a gamble.""What are you suggesting?""I bet Edgar's investment tanks within three months.""What?"Oscar was surprised and skeptical.After all, entertainment companies, especially giants like th

    Eve's face drained of color as she stared at her seat. "That's my seat. Freya, what did you put in my food?"As trainees, they were always extra cautious about what they consumed, and the implications of Eve's question hung heavy in the air.Freya hadn't expected Debra to have evidence of her drugging Eve. Her face turned grim. "Debra..."Debra sneered, "The show is coming up the day after tomorrow. You're scared Eve will steal your spotlight, so you drugged her to make her gain weight, didn't you?"Eve's eyes widened in realization. "No wonder I've been hungrier lately and gaining weight without eating much. It was because you put hormones in my food. Freya, you're a snake."Freya had no way to defend herself. Debra pressed on, "A leader who drugs her teammates should be kicked out."Exasperated, Freya lunged at Debra, but Debra easily sidestepped her.Just then, Hannah arrived, her voice booming as she took in the commotion. "What are you doing?"Eve, seething with anger, gra

    Hannah's gaze swept over the crowd. "Debra went to find Oscar because I told her to. Who said anything about them dating?""What?" Freya staggered back, shock written all over her face. "But just now, it looked like they were... "Her voice trailed off as she replayed the scene in her mind. Debra and Oscar hadn't shown any signs of affection. It was just Oscar's protective stance that had set her off.Debra's voice was sharp enough to cut glass. "You're just jealous. You're the one who wants to keep Oscar all to yourself.""That's a lie!" Freya tried to argue.Debra snorted, "You don't even dare admit that you like someone. It shows that your feelings are trivial. No wonder Oscar doesn't even look at you.""You...""You messed up, and out of jealousy, you slandered me and Oscar. But have you ever thought that if this slander becomes true, you're not just driving me away, you're also ruining Oscar's future? You're so selfish. Why should he like you?"Freya crumpled, her shoulder

    Freya leveled a warning glare at Debra. "I suggest you stay away from Oscar. His mother is not someone you want to mess with."With that, she pushed her suitcase and stormed off.Debra's mind whirred like a well-oiled machine. If Oscar was an illegitimate child, then his mother must have been the mistress of the Odom family patriarch.A plan began to form in her mind.Across town at the Nichols family's residence, Hester was dutifully massaging Melody's shoulders. "Juan hasn't been home lately. Shouldn't we call him?""He's becoming more and more disobedient," Melody huffed, guiding Hester's hands away. "His heart is with Debra. You need to step up your game, Hester. Then he'll have to marry you."Hester bit her lip, her eyes downcast. "But it's not that simple. Juan..."She was still in college, young and attractive, with a pleasant personality, but Juan had always been indifferent to her, treating her like a stranger.Melody said meaningfully, "Men are all the same.

    Compared to those mass-produced artists, these people under Theda's management had been trained for years.They were different from those who debuted just because of their looks. These people were versatile and unique in their own ways.Randy mumbled, "I've tried my best, but every time we fight back, they come up with something new. The advertisers we worked with before saw the momentum behind their publicity. Plus, their new talents were cheaper, so they all switched sides. Our ad revenue has dropped significantly. Even our commercial street has to feature ads for those Buchan artists. It's like quenching a thirst with poison."Erica chimed in, "This is the least we can do. Their artists are riding the tide. It makes sense that advertisers would go for them. We can't just tell people not to run ads for them."Debra nodded. "Advertisers choose who's trending. And those newcomers are popular and affordable. Michael is better but beyond the average advertisers' reach."Erica got an

    Soon, the interrogators came out of the room. It seemed they wouldn't get any answers today.Kale had been waiting outside the station.When Drake and Debra walked out, he quickly went up."Boss, the plane tickets are ready.""Good."Before getting into the car, Drake said, "I'll give you an answer within three days. Don't forget our bet."Debra shook her head, surprised that he took that lopsided deal so seriously.Her phone rang with a call from Erica. "Check the news!"Debra, sensing her urgency, opened the news app.The top headline was about Buchan Entertainment. The article showcased a lineup of attractive artists and members of popular bands.Randy's words resurfaced in her mind. When she had just returned to Seamar City, he mentioned that a surge of artists had become wildly popular, rivaling the fame of Michael back in the day.Since Oscar left the entertainment industry to take over the Odom Group, these artists had been gaining even more momentum, almost as if the

    "You think I'm scared of being caught?" Drake tried to pull his arm away, but Debra held on tightly.In the end, Drake snapped, "Fine! I won't go."The police were already closing in. Running now would only make things worse. Being dragged back in cuffs wasn't exactly appealing.Debra let go of him and smiled cheerfully, "Thank you for your cooperation."Pedro personally led the operation. Within minutes, the officers subdued the six thugs and loaded them into the vans.Pedro glanced at Debra and pointed at Drake. "About Mr. Lowe..."Debra explained, "Mr. Lowe is a witness. He's cooperating with us to clear his name and assist in solving this case. Isn't that touching, Mr. Hardy?""Thank you, Mr. Lowe. Much appreciated," Pedro said gratefully.But then he scratched his head and added, "Well, since Mr. Lowe is a witness, he'll need to come to the station for a statement. I know it's inconvenient, but I'm sure a generous and upright person like Mr. Lowe won't mind, right?"Befor

    "I'll talk. It was Matthew Ledger. Please, spare me, Mr. Lowe," Silas said, terrified.He was just a small-time worker running errands for the bigshots.Drake narrowed his eyes, not expecting Matthew to be so bold."Boss, what should we do with these people?" Kale asked."Bind them all up." Drake glanced at the boat. "Stuff them in there, along with the machines, and send them to the West Factory. We'll go meet Matthew.""Yes, boss." Kale gave orders to cram those men into boxes.Among the group, six men suddenly pulled out their guns. "Don't move!"Debra saw it and opened the car door.Looking nothing special, these people had blended into the crowd and acted only at the critical moment.Debra knew that the shipment of so many machines couldn't go unsupervised. She hadn't noticed anyone hidden earlier, but it turned out they'd been embedded within the group.Clearly, whoever was behind this had infiltrated Drake's company."Stand back!" The six men grouped, scanning their s

    Presumably, Silas had smuggled out countless machines and made a fortune over the years.Drake pulled out a bank card and said, "There's not much in here, but it's got 300-500 thousand dollars. I'd appreciate it if you guys could help carry all the machines down. Consider this a tip."Everyone was excited to hear that. It was easy money to make.The leader quickly ordered his men to unload the cargo. Drake handed the card over and glanced at his watch.Then he looked over at the car parked 100 meters away from the dock.Inside, Debra rolled down the window but had no intention of stepping in. She was simply enjoying the show.The men brought down the boxes, emptying the cargo ship.Drake nodded and said, "Thanks, everyone."The leader laughed, "No worries. You've already paid us."Drake smirked, "It's for carrying the evidence down."Before those men could react, Kale and his team sprang from their hiding spots.Realizing it was a trap, the men tried to flee, but Kale's peop

    Debra pulled up to the East Dock.To avoid being recognized, she stayed in the car and motioned for Drake to go ahead.Drake glanced at the row of thugs standing on the dock. His expression darkened. "Why didn't you tell me there'd be so many people?"Debra shrugged. "Relax. Most of them are your people. You show up, and they'll fall in line."Drake was speechless but got a picture of the situation. Many of the thugs bore distinctive tattoos of the Lowe Group. They were undoubtedly traitors who had infiltrated his ranks.Selling his machines without his permission was a serious offense.He got out of the car and made a quick call before heading toward the group.The leader of the thugs was a burly man in his forties. Both of his arms were tattooed. He frowned at the sight of Drake. "What is your boss thinking? Sending one guy to pick up the goods?"The shipment was an entire boatload of machines. The unloading work alone would need at least 20 workers.Drake had pulled a cap

    "Yeah." Debra nodded."Huh? Aren't you a spoiled rich lady? I thought you were like my sister, never lifting a finger for anything," said Garland.Liza grumbled, "Says who? I can make chocolate.""Right, if melting chocolate and putting it into a mold counts," Garland scoffed.Andrew suddenly lost his appetite. He put down his fork and knife. "Barton, pack the food and send it upstairs. It's too crowded down here. I can't eat like this."Randy protested, "Wait. If you take the food away, what are we going to eat?""Didn't you and Erica already eat at the hotel? You probably don't have room for a second dinner," Andrew replied blandly.Randy blushed when their date was exposed. He jumped up and rushed up the stairs.Erica casually whistled as she strolled upstairs.Liza and Garland were puzzled.Debra watched Andrew leave and sighed. 'Sure enough, it's not easy to pacify him.'Marion saw her frustrated expression. "Did you upset him?"Debra explained what had happened during

    Five dishes and a soup were spread across the table. That was the best Debra could manage in two hours.Andrew glanced at the pots and pans scattered across the kitchen. "I bet the kitchen never expected all four stoves to be used at the same time."Debra took off her apron and replied, "Good thing you have four stoves. Otherwise, it would've taken me all day."Just as she turned back toward the kitchen to get something else, Marion winked at Randy, who quickly got up. "Let me help you."Erica chimed in, "Me too."Marion fetched the rice and placed it on the table.Debra got the bowls for Marion and Andrew."Here is your bowl, Andrew."Erica leaned toward Randy and whispered, "Don't you think the vibe is a bit awkward?""A little, yeah," Randy muttered back. "Are we really supposed to eat?""What else can we do? Look at Marion's face. If we don't eat, it'll look like we're not appreciating Debra's effort. If you do that, he'll definitely teach you a lesson.""Woe is on me. S

    "Really?""Yeah. Spitting it out would be uncivilized.""Good to hear.""Is there anything else?""Not really.""Uh...""Has he had dinner yet?"The sudden question puzzled Barton. "Not yet.""Perfect. None of us have eaten yet. I'll invite him to join us in the dining hall.""Er...""I'll cook."An apology should come with sincerity. Besides, Erica had told her earlier that Andrew was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Persistence was the key."You don't have to trouble yourself.""It's no trouble. None of us have eaten anyway." Debra dismissed him with a wave and hurried downstairs.Randy and Erica came back from their candlelight dinner. Debra grabbed them and sat them down in the living room."What's going on?" Randy asked, confused. "Isn't your wedding banquet still a few days away? Are you throwing a feast early?""Something like that. I'll cook for us."Erica chimed in, "But we already ate.""One more meal won't hurt." Debra dashed off toward the kitc
