Chapter 253: Caleb Disappoints Again

(Author’s POV)

Seeing the expression on Caleb’s face loosen, Zachary continued his persuasive pitch with seductive

language.

“Caleb, wake up,” Zachary purred smoothly. “In a world where only the strongest Alpha survives, your sister

isn’t going to care about your apologies.”

He stepped closer, invading Caleb’s personal space.

“Amelia would only change her attitude when she realized you were powerful enough to offer her

immense benefits and protection.”

Caleb’s eyes widened, his breath hitching.

“Only then would she, or even the family, actively seek your forgiveness for the sake of the pack’s

interests,” Zachary pressed.

Caleb clenched his fists at his sides.

His nails dug deep into his palms, the physical pain grounding him against the emotional turmoil.

“What are you getting at?” he demanded, his voice trembling.

Zachary reached out and snatched the music sheet Caleb was guarding like a treasure.

“If Starlight Entertainment doesn’t know how to appreciate talent, Gale Entertainment is willing to turn you

into a household name.”

He tapped the paper with a manicured finger.

“You possess breathtaking talent, Caleb. You should seize this opportunity.”

Zachary sneered at the building behind them.

“Why stay here and be buried at Starlight, treated like an unwanted runt and left out in the cold?”

Zachary applied further pressure, sensing the crack in Caleb’s armor.

“If you remain obscure, you can stop dreaming of ever earning Amelia’s forgiveness,” he stated coldly. “Because the pack only follows the strong.”

He leaned against his car, looking relaxed and confident.

“As long as you join Gale Entertainment, the company will invest top-tier resources to mold you into a

generational superstar.”

He made a sweeping gesture with his hand.

“We will make you a true Alpha on the stage. By then, it would be impossible for Amelia to ignore you.”

Looking at the music sheet, Zachary shook his head in feigned pity.

“Lamentable,” he muttered. “Shelving such an excellent song is a waste of God–given talent.”

He looked Caleb in the eye, his gaze intense.

“I guarantee that with the right management, within two years, you will become the Alpha of the music industry.”

These words caused a violent shake in Caleb’s resolve.

*If I achieve nothing, Amelia will only look down on me more,* Caleb thought desperately.

*Only by becoming strong and standing at the peak could I make her look up to me.*

Zachary saw the conflict in his eyes and smiled smugly.

He left his business card and the sheet music in Caleb’s hand before getting into his car and driving off.

He was convinced that securing Caleb was in the bag.

Caleb stood alone on the sidewalk.

His mind replayed the words about power and conquest over and over.

He didn’t want to waste time; he wanted to succeed.

He wanted to shine so brightly that Amelia couldn’t look away.

But he also knew clearly that going to Gale Entertainment would be another betrayal of his sister.

He struggled painfully in the dilemma between his desire for recognition and the guilt of betraying his kin.

(Amelia’s POV)

I watched the scene unfold from across the street.

I had received a tip from Silas Grey and had doubled back to check on things.

My car was parked behind tinted windows, making me invisible to them.

I witnessed the entire exchange.

Although I couldn’t hear the specific dialogue, the body language was clear enough.

I could guess that Zachary was poaching him.

I saw Caleb’s obviously wavering reaction as he held the card.

A cold sneer rose in my heart.

*“I knew it,”* Ava growled in my mind, rolling her eyes. *“These spineless pups can never resist

temptation.”*

I gripped the steering wheel tight.

“You’re right, Ava,” I muttered.

Caleb had previously vowed that he would give up everything just for my forgiveness.

Yet now, he was easily swayed because someone was selling him a dream.

I made a bet in my heart right then and there.

Caleb would definitely defect to Gale Entertainment.

He has the same bad blood as Ethan Stone.

Deep down, they shared the same selfishness and greed.

Neither of them was worthy of trust.

I thought I might see some change in Caleb after everything that happened.

But he was just the same as always.

Finding it boring and utterly disappointing, I felt I had wasted my expectations.

Without another glance, I stepped on the gas and drove toward the Crimson Group headquarters to see

Theodore.

(Author’s POV)

Zachary returned to the offices of Gale Entertainment.

He walked straight into the CEO’s office to report the situation to Arthur York.

Famous director Director Bruno was sitting in a plush armchair.

Griffin Drake was also present, lounging on the sofa with a bored expression.

“He will break,” Zachary confidently guaranteed.

“Caleb will terminate his contract with Starlight and defect to Gale within a month at the latest.”

“My plan is to push a minor singer into the spotlight during this period to create a sense of crisis,” Zachary

explained.

“It will force Caleb’s hand.”

Arthur was satisfied with this result.

“What is the current status of Starlight Entertainment?” Arthur asked, leaning forward.

Zachary cleared his throat.

“Amelia has brought in a few strange outsiders who were of no concern,” he reported.

“But she had surprisingly managed to bring back the legendary Director Liam.”

<Chapter 253 Caleb Disappoints Agam

“He had retired due to illness three years ago.”

Hearing this name, Bruno frowned instantly.

His expression turned ugly.

In his career, Liam’s achievements had always overshadowed him.

The industry even openly acknowledged that “as long as Liam doesn’t retire, Bruno will always play second

fiddle.”

Arthur was shocked and annoyed.

He hadn’t expected Amelia to recruit someone of Director Liam’s caliber in such a short time.

This was a huge trouble for Gale Entertainment.

They had just spent a fortune poaching Director Bruno to dominate the market.

Seeing the tension in the room, Zachary quickly tried to soothe them.

“Don’t worry too much,” Zachary said dismissively.

“Director Liam might have lost his touch after three years out of the game.”

He glanced at Bruno.

“He certainly couldn’t compare to the current Director Bruno.”

Director Bruno remained silent.

He gloomily observed Griffin Drake, who was sitting on the sofa.

Alpha Arthur dared not take it lightly.

“We can’t take chances,” Arthur said sharply.

He gave a strict order to Zachary.

“Find another opportunity to lobby Director Liam.”

“Convince him to give up directing Amelia’s new drama, *The Alpha’s Ambition*.”

Arthur’s eyes narrowed.

“If necessary, you can use Griffin Drake’s name to threaten and intimidate him.”

Zachary accepted the order with a nod.

“I will immediately find a way to contact him,” he promised.

After Zachary left the room, Arthur turned to the man on the sofa.

He smiled sycophantically.

“Alpha Drake, rest assured. At this critical juncture, I don’t think any director would dare to offend you for

that woman.”
