138 At Jasper City 3 (2/2)

Because the girl could only think of one other reason behind her sister's move, she said this in a grim tone. Her expression also darkened at the thoughts that crossed her mind.

Aura hesitated, but still answered honestly, ”That seems to be the case. Second Miss, First Miss is surely aware that you've just recently signed with Starlight. If she becomes its owner, it's already foreseeable that she will allocate the resources meant for you to others, suppressing you so you won't have any good project.” She didn't have to continue for her boss to get that this First Miss wanted to bury the Second Miss' ambition and future career.

”How did their talk go?” the girl asked without showing other emotions on her face. However, her eyes did shine differently, strangely brighter, but colder. It was as if saying that she was ready for the worst but would fight and wouldn't accept defeat right away.

Aura thought for a moment, then euphemistically said, ”We can assume that they haven't finalized anything yet.”

The girl almost sighed, 'In other words, there's still no announcement about Starlight's transfer of ownership. The acquisition has yet to happen.'

As for how long this situation would last, it depends on whether her sibling would be successful in her endeavor. And she would be praying fervently against it.

The beautiful girl pursed her lips then nodded. She made her assistant continue giving her news feeds, acting as though what her sister was trying to do did not make her feel troubled or concerned. After this, Aura excused herself, saying she would go to the kitchen to make some snacks for her.

As for the other girl, she went back to reading her scripts. Ten minutes after, she picked up the thin stacks of paper on the couch adjacent to hers. Sadly when she finished reading the information there, she became a bit frustrated, learning that the subject was just a nobody. This made her shake her head and sigh. It was unfortunate but the person who saw through what she would be using to fight her way to stardom and freedom was just a normal high-schooler who immigrated from Alina to Jasper.

'Is he a talent or not?' she asked herself after thinking things through.

She couldn't completely get him off her mind because aside from her sister, he was the very first person to make her feel that she was easy to see through. She honestly didn't like the idea, so she wanted to make herself feel a bit better by investigating whether he was an industry insider or not. Unfortunately, he turned out to be the latter. There was nothing in the documents which states that he knew acting or was related to an actress or director.

Shortly after, she moved on from this by deciding to test that young man tomorrow. Her rationale behind this was to see if he could be someone she could invest on. She pondered about his matter for quite some time and realized that if he really turned out to be someone with keen eyes for acting, then he was definitely more talented than most people their age who only managed to grow their insights and career through exposure.

'If I will be fighting her in this industry, I can't only be the one from my side. I have to nurture others too, and send spies to her entertainment companies,' she told herself.

'Will this boy be the first talent under my wings?'

'Can he be of any help to me?'

'I'm actually hoping so, because now that I thought about it more seriously, he could actually be the perfect ally for me. No background. No possible connections with Amelia Morgan.'

She stared at the documents again, her eyes resting on the picture attached on it. For someone like her who had grown up surrounded by beautiful people, the person looked okay. He was undeniably good-looking, but not very impressive. He was just like any other handsome guy next door which could not be found anywhere but was still not as rare as those who fall under the national husband type. To be honest, only his eyes which seemed deeper and expressive than the night could be said notable and attractive.

'...A nobody can be a somebody someday... and it's that witch who said this...'

'I'll test him tomorrow. I want to see if I really found a gem in this city.'

Fighting spirit seemingly returned to the girl's eyes. Now, there were no more traces of disappointment or frustration in them. Only hope. A direction to go was revealed to her and now she knew what to do.

She could counterattack as long as she has the means and the people to do her bidding!

'I'll have my assistants search for talents then.'

'This way, even if I get trapped in Starlight, things will still be okay as long as I have people who would do the work for me.'

'But of course, if there's a way, I prefer not to be trapped by the contract I signed.'

'If there's only a way to make sure that worrisome acquisition won't happen...'
