Nemesis Game novel Chapter 19

Breaking news! The cast members for “Be Passionately Devoted” were announced, and the leading actress would not be Peyton Moore, the most recent best actress winner!

Breaking news! The Universal Entertainment tore up the agreement, the star Peyton Moore lost her role!

Breaking news! The beloved Peyton Moore lost her role to the rookie Helena Powell!

The heroine role was given to Peyton for the show “Be Passionately Devoted”, but Helena Powell came out of nowhere and snatched the role. The news sent showbiz into turmoil.

And the media was making speculations about Helena.

Peyton was beautiful and was a good actress. The sudden change in the casting pushed the show into the centre of the storm and it was already a hot topic before it even aired.

Topics about Peyton were often trending on social media, but this time there was an unfamiliar name trending as well, Helena Powell.

The netizens were saying bad things about Helena already. Her account was newly created, and Peyton’s fans already flooded her account with scolding and berating.

“What the, who is this Helena Powell? She landed the main character role immediately after she got into showbiz. Is the president of Universal Entertainment her sugar daddy or something?”

“I think so too!”

“We want transparency, strip Helena Powell off the role! How can some random internet star get the role just like that?”

“Get out of showbiz! How dare you snatch my favourite actress’ role!”

Samantha was sitting calmly in front of the monitor. She smiled as she read the netizens’ comments.

Get out of showbiz? That was never going to happen.

If her fans were so enraged, how would Peyton herself react?

Was she erupting in anger right now?

“Peyton… do you like my present?”

They would see each other real soon.

Samantha looked forward to that day, and she wanted to tear her angelic face off and reveal her true face!

…

Peyton’s face was twisted from anger at Universal Entertainment.

She smacked the paper angrily onto her manager’s table, “Linda, explain! Wasn’t the role given to me already? Why did some random internet star get my role instead? I will not let this happen!”

“Peyton, calm down. We have not lost yet, look at the comments on the internet…” Linda glanced at the paper calmly.

Peyton wasn’t buying it, “Did Universal Entertainment go bonkers? How can a rookie be better than me? How dare they give that role to someone else!”

“Calm down.” Linda glanced at Peyton, “If you really want the role, just go to Mr. Knight and complain about it. The Moore family can help you out too.”

The Knight Group didn’t have a partnership with Universal Entertainment, but they were the real estate mogul around the area. Nobody dared to defy them.

Peyton shook her head, “That’s what I don’t understand. Everybody knows who is behind my back, but Universal Entertainment still dare to switch me out for some rookie! They are obviously declaring a war against the Knight Group and the Moore Group.”

For some reason, Peyton had a bad feeling about this. The person behind the scenes was coming for her!

But who could it be? Nobody in showbiz had the guts to pull such a stunt.

“Well, one thing’s obvious. This Helena Powell is no ordinary person, and the person behind her back is someone powerful as well,” said Linda.

Peyton gritted her teeth in indignation. She rejected roles here and there before, but there was never a time when her role got snatched away!

Helena Powell, this rookie. She would be dead soon!

Peyton wouldn’t let some random internet star embarrass her like that!

“Linda, I don’t care. I’m not letting this slide,” said Peyton confidently.

Linda thought briefly and said, “Let me think a bit. They already announced it, so we have to think about some other ways to go around it.”

“There’s a charity dinner tonight, I heard that Mr. Baker will be bringing Helena Powell along. You can get ready and take this opportunity to do that!”

“Okay, I understand what to do.”

Peyton gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with coldness and hatred.

“Be Passionately Devoted” was going to be a big movie. It had great writers and directors. Whoever got the main role would be famous in no time. The main role went to Helena, but Peyton was planning to use her popularity and show off her skills to convince the people to rethink it!

Around 7 pm, the reporters camped outside of LT Hotel in City L. They got the news that Peyton was going to the charity dinner tonight and hence they were here. Peyton was trending right now because her role got snatched.

Samantha was sitting in Gabriel’s car. She thought about how her life would change after this.

Once she got into showbiz, she would have no privacy.

But she wasn’t afraid about the rocky future.

How could she step on others if she wasn’t on the top?

From now on, she would bow to nobody. Only others would bow to her!

“Tried you best tonight. Don’t disappoint me.” Gabriel glanced at her, and there was an odd look in his eyes.

Samantha thought that the look in his eyes was always very complicated. He was looking at her, but at the same time, it was as if he was looking at someone else through her face.

She was going to say something when Gabriel said coldly, “I forgot to tell you, Ruben would be accompanying Peyton tonight at the charity dinner.”

Samantha’s face tensed up.

Ruben…
