Chapter 112 Selfishness
12
When the fans realized that Katrina was the person scheduled to appear, their anger surged to its peak. Their affection for Blake also extended to Sylvia, and knowing the extent of her mistreatment, not a single person could sit still. They began chanting Katrina’s name, hurling insults at her.
Already uncertain about how to take the stage, Katrina was further bewildered by their chants. She stood there, biting her lip, wishing she could just turn and leave, but the thought of the exorbitant penalty feet she’d face left her stuck in place. If only she had never gotten involved in that mess.
“Seems like Katrina isn’t too keen on coming up here, but no matter, tell the legal department that she’s breached the contract. We’ll proceed according to the agreement,” Blake said, and the crowd understood. From the start, Blake had never intended to give Katrina a platform. All he wanted was to make her pay, in
a different sense.
Hearing his words, Katrina’s head spun, her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, She couldn’t believe the man on stage, basking in the adoration of thousands under the spotlight, could speak such
frigid words.
He had said they’d follow the contract to the letter. Under those terms, she was ruined–she’d have to pay

Just as she was about to move, the next song started, completely different from the one she was supposed to join. Katrina turned pale, instantly realizing this was a targeted move against her. She didn’t get far before her own agent pulled her away, slapping her across the face.
“I thought you could be of some help, but you’ve only caused chaos,” her agent berated her. “Do you have any idea how much effort I put into connecting with Blake? And you ended up ruining it all!”
With her face swelling from the slap, Katrina turned incredulously to look at her agent, the person she had relied upon for smooth sailing throughout the years, never expecting he’d raise a hand against her.
“Don’t act so high and mighty,” he snapped. “The higher–ups have already given up on you. Just come abroad with me, but know that doing so means the end of your career. Start thinking about your next steps.
The agent spoke truly; he was thoroughly fed up with Katrina, who acted like a spoiled heiress, displaying arrogance without the talent to back it up, and getting into trouble at every turn. Had it not been for certain backers, the agent would have washed his hands of her a long time ago. And now, after being abandoned by all, the last thing he intended to do was show her any kindness.

With those final words, the agent left, showing no what Katrina was thinking or going through. Katrina, feeling lost and dejected, left the concert and stood outside, unsure of her next move.
was doing this to her, but the words were stuck in her throat.
“What do you mean by new and old grievances? What have I done to Sylvia? I just sent some photos, and you knew about it but never stopped me. Now you want to pin this on me–you are truly disgusting. I’ll tell
