Back then, they rode Alicia for clout and attention. Now, Alicia could play the same game right back. 10 vouchers Besides, would Nicole really dare to flex her status and try to freeze Alicia out of the industry? No way. She didn’t have the nerve, and she sure didn’t have the pull. If she did, Alicia wouldn’t have been able to stage a comeback and rise up again in her last life. And if Nicole actually ran to the Hammonds and tried to get them to blacklist Alicia, that would just wreck the whole perfect good–girl act she puts on for them. Nicole wouldn’t have the nerve to pull something like that. And seriously, who was the real Hammond heiress? The fans might not have a clue, but Nicole definitely knew the truth.

Plus, with Starlight Entertainment and the Hammond family supporting Nicole into the spotlight, she’d ruffled a ton of feathers in the industry, stepping on the toes of other rising and established actresses, and messing with the profits of the companies backing them. If Alicia and Nicole started going at it, tons of people would be glued to their screens, eating up every second of the drama. And nothing could go viral like a feud between two celebrities, This time, Alicia was ready to get all that clout for herself.
