Chapter 429 The Dark Side of Showbiz
Zora had been in the industry for years and understood the delicate balance of interests perfectly.
Getting rid of Henry would be easy, but opportunities like this were unique.
Michael smiled and glanced at Seraphina.
She gave him a slight nod, agreeing to his decision.
Kicking Henry out and keeping Zora while handling the negative news was the best way to minimize the damage.
The hell I would pick Henry!
Henry’s face went pale, and panic filled his eyes.
“Michael, don’t kick me out! I was wrong–I really know I have made a mistake,” he pleaded.
Who could have imagined that just a few hours ago, the woman flirting with him would now have him kicked out of the group?
“Director, please, put up some good words for me! You said I had a bright future ahead!” Henry turned to the director, desperate.
The director responded coldly, “I must have been blind.”
“Mr. Dros, you-” Henry tried to appeal, but the icy look from Orion made him swallow his words. Desperate times called for desperate measures, but he was out of options now.
He looked to Seraphina for help, tears streaming down his face.
“Ms. Cross, please, help me… You’re the one who brought me into this industry.”
Seraphina’s expression turned cold, her voice equally ruthless. “Did I tell you to assault women? Idiot!”
Her frustration surged, and she couldn’t stay a second longer. She was ready to leave.
Henry attempted to follow her, hoping to continue his pleas.
Just as his hand was about to touch her arm, a sharp crack twisted it behind him, shattering his bones.
He cried out in agony, overwhelmed by the pain and sorrow.
Orion dusted his hands off and slowly used a handkerchief to wipe them before carelessly tossing it to the ground. His expression was devoid of any warmth.
Henry’s hands had been bothering him for a while now
After Seraphina left, the other people in the room exchanged glances.
No one felt pity for Henry–instead, they felt justice had been served. Everyone was delighted with the
outcome.

Orion looked at Henry, who was writhing on the floor, and sneered. Trash will always be trash. How could he ever think of being my opponent?
He shook his head–it was an insult to himself.
“Mr. Dros…”
As Orion was about to leave, Zora called out to him.
“Mr. Dros, I-”
She hesitated, but the pitiful look she wore earlier had vanished.
Henry, still on the ground, stared at them, stunned.
They knew each other?
Orion’s gaze remained cold and detached, but there was a faint hint of a smile, as if he were somewhat pleased.
“You did well. If there’s any opportunity that catches your eye, tell Ken,” Orion said before walking out of the room, his cold, dignified silhouette disappearing from sight.
Henry stared in disbelief while Zora suddenly smiled.
With Orion’s words, her position in the industry was now unmatched.
She only needed to assist Orion in eliminating a bothersome fly that was hovering around Seraphina, and she reaped significant benefits. Compared to those women who tried to seduce Orion in their nightgowns only to be kicked out, she was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
Zora blinked, suddenly realizing Henry was still in the room.
She curled her lips into a smile that radiated allure.
“Kid, you’re still too naive. Just take this as a fall. Someone like Ms. Cross–just born with luck. Not everyone deserves to become involved in her affairs.
