Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 987

Randy gave Oscar a thumbs-up. "Well said. Next year, I'm nominating you for the Top Ten Youth Role Models award. You've got my vote."

"Yeah, right. Like it's your job to hand out awards," Erica snorted, smacking Randy on the back of his head.

Randy winced, rubbing his head. "Erica, could you not hit me every time I say something?"

Chace stepped forward and addressed Debra. "Ms. Frazier, we're returning to Booton to take care of the Odom Group. We're here to say goodbye."

Debra nodded. "Okay. Seamar City has been chaotic lately. You might be better off staying away for now."

Oscar hesitated. "Michael wanted me to pass on a message. The entertainment industry has seen an influx of fresh talent recently. They're all incredibly skilled—too polished to have come out of nowhere. Someone's been grooming them for years. No one knows who's backing them, but each one is rising fast. If they make it to the top, the capital behind them will reap unimaginable profits. Michael thought you'd understand the stakes here."

Oscar had spent months observing the chaos in the industry. It was nothing like he'd imagined. The entertainment world wasn't clean or fair. Hard work didn't always lead to success. It was just another arena where the powerful ruled.

Debra fell silent, her thoughts drifting. She had entered the entertainment world not for fame or personal ambition, but because the situation at the time demanded it.

Back then, Andrew had promised to make her a superstar. But every step of her journey, from her time as a trainee at the Potter Group to everything that followed, now seemed like a premeditated game.

Meeting Oscar at the Potter Group gave her a lifeline to take down Edgar. Later, attending the Lowe Group's banquet as an actress led to her first encounter with Drake. Then came the island survival show, where she and Juan faced danger, only for Drake to whisk her away.

Looking back, it was all connected. Andrew was the chess master, and she was the most crucial piece on the board.
