Lucas' eyes briefly flickered with a vicious look, but he swiftly concealed it.
Ashlyn did not notice it. She was turning on the television, and when the screen flickered to life, entertainment news was broadcasting.
“Influencer Lynlyn has joined Haddock Group's newly established entertainment company, Haddock Entertainment. She has become Haddock Entertainment's first artiste. Mr. Haddock, may I know why you think Lynette Berry, also known as Lynnie, will be the next best thing?”
On the screen, Dixon was wearing a black suit, sitting on the couch with a glacial expression on his face.
“Lynette is a hardworking girl, but I also found out that she has a stubborn bone in her. That quality of hers will aid in her development in showbiz, and I'm sure that we, Haddock Entertainment, will be able to make Lynette a national idol.”
“Amazing words from Mr. Haddock!” The host then passed the microphone to Lynette. “What do you think about the nickname Lynlyn?”
Lynette, who was wearing a white dress, had a similar makeup style to Ashlyn. Her pureness had a little charm, and she looked like she was only around the age of eighteen.
However, perhaps because of her few years of experience as an influencer, she exuded a sense of maturity, which contrasted with her looks.
“Ashlyn has always been my idol. I really, really like her and worship her. It's my honor to be called Lynlyn, and I feel blessed. However, I'm certain that, one day, I'll surpass her in fame. I'll be standing on the peak of a mountain taller than hers.”
Lucas was staring at Dixon and Lynette in annoyance.
“Lynette does kind of look like you. If it's late at night, or if she's in a dark area, anyone might mistake her for you,” he commented.
Ashlyn arched a brow and began studying Lynette.
She then curled her lips and said, “Dixon is resorting to lowlier and lowlier tricks. I can't believe he found a copy of me to disgust me. If Lynette does something horrible, he might take the opportunity to make me the scapegoat instead.”
“Indeed.” Lucas nodded. “It looks like we need to find a way to get rid of Lyne—”
“No rush,” Ashlyn told him, still staring at the television. “Let's see what Dixon has in store for us first.”
By then, the subtitles on the screen had turned provocative: Lynlyn provokes Ashlyn out in the open!
