Chapter 318: Visiting Theron

(Amelia’s POV)

+25 Points

I sat in my office at Starlight Entertainment, scrolling through the werewolf community forums on my tablet.

The internet had exploded.

Someone had leaked the cast list for *Treatment Diary* ahead of schedule.

The comments section was a battlefield.

People were furiously comparing my casting choices to previous hit shows.

Most were lenient towards the female lead, Skylar Reed. She was new, and while they said she couldn’t compare to the dazzling Jade York of Gale Entertainment, the malice was minimal.

The real storm centered on the male lead and the villain.

I had boldly cast Wayne and Jasper Calder.

“Is Starlight crazy?” one comment read. “Wayne is washed up! Everyone knows he abandoned his fated mate for fame years ago. He is scum!”

“And Jasper Calder?” another user raged. “That guy is a lunatic. Hé beats up directors. He has the temper of a feral rogue.”

Fans flooded my social media accounts.

“Please, Goddess ‘Lily‘, don’t ruin your reputation!”

“Change the cast! Get rid of these stained artists before the official announcement!”

Inside my mind, Ava let out a disdainful snort.

*These sheep, she growled. *They bleat whatever they are told. They cannot smell the truth hidden beneath the lies.*

She sensed the injustice. The so–called “stains” on Wayne and Jasper were likely misunderstandings or frame–ups, just like what had happened to me.

I decided to remain silent.

Let them scream. Let the anger build.

I would use this wave of public opinion.

On the day of my birthday banquet, when I officially announced the cast, the reversal would be that

much sweeter.

For now, I shifted my focus to the music.

I opened my official account and typed out a new post.

“Three new singles. Releasing exclusively on [Stream Wolf] on the 21st. My birthday.”

To add fuel to the fire, I attached a screenshot of the voting PK between me and Caleb Stone.

I added a short, provocative caption: “Sit back and wait for the counterattack.”

I hit send.

A cold light flashed in my sapphire eyes.

I didn’t just want to beat them commercially. I wanted to crush their spirits.

(Caleb’s POV)

The recording booth at Gale Entertainment was finally quiet.

I took off my headphones, my throat feeling dry.

Zachary Grant and Hugh York stood on the other side of the glass, looking pleased.

“Excellent,” Hugh said, a smug grin on his face. “With this quality, you will definitely be a hit, Caleb.”

Zachary looked at his phone. “Amelia just announced her songs will be exclusive to one platform.”

Hugh laughed arrogantly. “Stupid move. We will release yours on every single platform available. We will drown her out with sheer coverage.”

I pulled out my own phone and saw the notification.

Amelia’s post stared back at me. “Sit back and wait for the counterattack.”

My heart clenched painfully.

Part of me desperately wanted to win this competition to prove I wasn’t useless. I wanted to show everyone I had value.

But another part of me was terrified.

If I won too decisively, if I humiliated her… would she hate me even more?

Inside me, my wolf Noah let out a low, mournful whine.

He didn’t want to fight our sister. He craved the pack bond we had lost.

The conflict tore at my chest.

“What’s with that face?” Hugh’s voice cut through the air like a whip.

I looked up. Hugh was staring at me, his expression darkening.

“Do you have a problem with our arrangement?” he demanded.

Zachary quickly stepped in. “He’s just tired, Mr. York. Caleb knows what’s good for him.”

I forced myself to swallow the humiliation.

“No problem,” I said hoarsely. “Thank you for the opportunity.”

Hugh walked up to me.

He reached out and patted my cheek. It wasn’t gentle. It was a stinging, disrespectful tap.

“Don’t forget who you are now,” Hugh sneered. “You aren’t the high–and–mighty Second Young Master of the Stone family anymore.”

He leaned in close, his breath smelling of expensive cigars.

“Now, you are just a dog we are choosing to feed. Bark when we tell you to bark.”

Hugh turned and walked out.

Zachary gave me a stern look. “If you want to turn your life around, if you want Amelia to ever look

at you with respect again, you have to endure this. Obey Mr. York.”

I clenched my fists at my sides. My nails dug into my palms until I felt the sting of blood.

But I lowered my head.

“I understand,” I whispered.

Zachary left, leaving me alone in the cold studio.

I dragged my exhausted body back to my rented apartment.

I collapsed onto the narrow bed. I hadn’t slept properly in days preparing for this release.

As I stared at the peeling paint on the ceiling, a thought drifted through my mind.

Mom hasn’t called.

Livia Stone should have been back in Northgate City by now. But there had been no word from her.

Even Dad, Alpha Adrian, seemed to have vanished.

It was strange.
