Chapter 185
Upon seeing Abbie call a young girl the boss, everyone in the room grew uneasy. It was like a lunatic had just run into a clueless kid, and everyone around seemed completely out of touch with reality.
“Seriously? Do you really think that little girl can pull this off? She’s not going to save your career!”
“Stop dreaming!”
“Last chance,” the director warned, stepping forward. “Apologize now, and I’ll let everything slide. Otherwise…”
Before he could finish, Tiffany waved her hand dismissively. “Shut up! You sound like a fly buzzing around. Keep talking, and I’ll kick you out myself!”
The entire film crew erupted in laughter.
“What? Did I hear you right? You’re going to throw us out? Little girl, do you even own this studio? What a joke!”
“You think you can con us like you did Abbie? No way!”
As they continued their banter, the group grew reckless. In addition to leaving trash scattered everywhere, one of them kicked the old wooden door of the historic set. The door didn’t stand a chance and broke with a loud crack.
Tiffany spoke up in a relaxed manner, “Nice job, pal. Destroying a piece of cultural heritage? I wonder how many years you’ll get
for that?”
With that, a snap of her fingers summoned Charlie, who happened to be on patrol. Sensing something was off, he rushed over with his team, almost as if he had appeared at Tiffany’s command.
As the head in charge, Charlie wore an official ID badge, which made it faces instantly changed.

This situation could be serious, so the director thought he could smooth things over with some cash. Approaching with a friendly smile, he ingratiatingly said, “Mr. Kelley, it’s all a misunderstanding…”
But before he could finish, Tiffany calmly interrupted, “Charlie, do what needs to be done. Don’t let anyone off easy.”
The director and the crew were taken aback by Tiffany’s audacity. Not only was she calling Charlie by his name with that aloof attitude, but she was also barking orders as if she were above him. It was clear that Charlie wouldn’t be pleased to hear that.
After the initial shock, the director found himself oddly pleased. The more disrespectful Tiffany was, the easier it would be to downplay the situation. But to his surprise, instead of getting angry, Charlie nodded and said with enthusiasm, “Rest assured. I won’t let this slide!” His overly respectful tone left everyone feeling astonished and also curious about Tiffany’s true identity.
Satisfied, Tiffany nodded and calmly left with Abbie. Meanwhile, the arrogant group received the consequences they deserved. As for the broken door, they not only had to pay for it but would also face criminal charges for willfully damaging a historic site.
Not just the others, but even Abbie was stunned. Following Tiffany in a daze, she couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, who are you? Why is Mr. Kelley being so polite to you?”
“Oh, you mean Charlie?” Tiffany replied, “That’s my dad.”
Abbie couldn’t help but smirk, thinking to herself, “This father-daughter duo really knows how to put on a show!’ She asked again, “Did you want me to switch jobs because you own the company, or is it under Kelley Group?”

“Well…” Tiffany paused and said seriously, “I’m actually planning to start an entertainment company
So there is no company at all! Isn’t that surprising… Abbie bellowed inwardly and her elegant face showed a crack of disbelief. It seemed she had just jumped from one fire pit into another.
Tiffany rubbed her nose and flashed an innocent smile. “Don’t worry, I always deliver on my promises.”
With that, she called Sean. After sharing her plan to start an entertainment company, Sean quickly replied, “That sounds like a great idea. There’s definitely a market for it.”
Tiffany didn’t care much about his opinion. She casually dropped a hundred million dollars into the venture and got the company registered. She named it StarRise Entertainment. The first artist to sign on was Abbie Hopkins, a former A-list star now trying to revive her career.
Watching Tiffany’s whirlwind of actions, Abbie felt completely bamboozled. Even though she knew that Tiffany was backed by her father, Charlie, a big shot in Lovell City, this whole affair felt like Tiffany was just playing around. It seemed like Abbie had jumped from one difficult situation straight into another, with no real change in her circumstances. She felt a wave of disappointment wash over her; Tiffany might be playing this game for fun, but for Abbie, the stakes were high.
Tiffany smiled, not offering any further explanation. “Let’s go grab a bite to eat. Consider it a welcome from your new boss.”
They headed to a trendy bistro in the city center, sitting down and ordering food. As they ate, Abbie found her appetite waning. She felt lost and completely unsure about the path she had just chosen. ‘Was this impulsive decision the right one?’ she wondered.
After their meal, Tiffany suggested they go shopping. “My team can’t look less than fabulous; pick out whatever you like, and I cover it.”
Abbie couldn’t help but be amused, even as the afternoon.
she picked out a few items here and there. Their shopping spree lasted well into
Once Abbie got back to her apartment and had just kicked off her shoes, the doorbell rang. When she opened it, she was shocked to see her new agent standing there, ready to sign her up.
“Wait, I thought you said there wasn’t a company yet?” Abbie exclaimed, her eyes wide.
The agent grinned. “Well, there is now!”
Abbie’s jaw dropped. She had only met Tiffany earlier that day, and the company didn’t even exist then. Yet, in less than a day, StarRise Entertainment was registered, and the contract was already in her hands.
The agent continued, “I’ve already helped you terminate your old contract, so you don’t need to worry about that.” Abbie’s former company was eager to get rid of her, so the process was a breeze. The penalty fees were also sorted out.
The speed of it all was astonishing. It took Abbie a moment to grasp what was happening. She hadn’t been duped; she had really latched onto Tiffany’s success. She couldn’t believe what an incredible stroke of luck and opportunity she received.
Without a second thought, Abbie signed the contract. But before she could fully process it, the agent dropped another bombshell. “Miss Kelley secured you an audition for Oliver Fraser’s new film. Here’s the script. Prepare well; if you nail it, you could be back on top!”
‘Back on top… How distant that feels.’ Abbie pondered as she stared at the script, her fingers trembling with excitement. ‘Earlier, Tiffany mentioned that she’d get me an audition for Oliver Fraser, a big-time director. I thought it a mere fantasy- there is no way someone like me can land a role in a film directed by him. But now, every word she spoke has come true.’
Trying to contain her excitement, Abbie took a deep breath. At that moment, she felt a wave of gratitude for her impulsive decision today. Clutching the script tightly, she nodded firmly. “I’m in.”
