In an instant, Natalie’s expression changed dramatically, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Maggie. “What did you say?” Her voice was sharp and biting.

Maggie flinched, staring blankly at Natalie, her eyes wide and clearly rattled.

Just then, Maggie’s phone rang. It was a call from the company boss.

As soon as Maggie picked up, the boss exploded, practically spitting through the phone. “What the hell were you thinking?

“I told you to keep Sierra from leaving, and instead, you handed her leverage. Now she’s exposing the recording between you two on her live stream.

“If you don’t want this job, then quit. Others are lining up for your spot.”

After getting chewed out, Maggie was totally shell-shocked.

Natalie’s expression soured as she unlocked her phone.

She tapped into Sierra’s live stream, but instead of Sierra herself, all she saw was a phone screen replaying Maggie’s voice over and over.

“Are you pissed I gave Mr. Turner’s show to Natalie? Come on, I’ll hook you up with something even better.”

“Who told you to hang up? The company just landed you a spot on WonderWild Live. Since you’re an animal science major, you’ll be joining Natalie on the show.”

“Play it smart when you’re on the show. Don’t pick fights with Natalie over every little thing.”

“If you don’t want to go, fine. Either sign the new contract or cough up ten million for breach of contract. It’s your choice.”

Natalie’s face darkened as she listened, her eyes cold and heavy as she stared at Maggie.

Maggie’s face fell. This was all because the company wanted Sierra to be the clown on the show, so they made Sierra go on whether she liked it or not.

Maggie thought Sierra was just talking big about having a recording, but she never imagined Sierra actually had it and even played it for everyone to hear on her live stream.

Now, the live stream had already broken a million viewers, and the comment section was going wild.

[Oh my god, isn’t Maggie Sierra’s agent? I heard her voice when I went to the airport for a fan meet. It’s definitely her.]

[Damn, so Sierra wasn’t lying at all. She asked to end the contract as soon as it was up last month, but the company made those shady contracts.]

[And Maggie actually told Sierra not to compete with Natalie? Seriously? Sierra might not be a big star, she’s been in plenty of hit shows over the years.

but

[People might question her character, but no one’s ever doubted her acting. Who does Natalie think she is?]

[Natalie was totally playing the innocent act when WonderWild Live was airing. Sierra almost got dragged online several times. If Natalie wasn’t doing it on purpose, I’ll eat my hat.]

[Sierra has really had it rough.]

Seeing the chat blowing up, Maggie went white as a sheet. She instinctively looked at Natalie, hoping she’d have a way out of this mess.

These netizens were savage. If any of the trolls really lost it, she’d be totally done for.

“What do you expect me to do?” Natalie looked at Maggie with utter disdain, her anger simmering beneath the surface.

‘Maggie is such an idiot. She never thinks ahead. How could she be so careless?’ Natalie fumed inwardly. ‘And she dragged me into the mess. Now the internet is putting me on trial right along with her.’

Natalie had already lost a million followers because of that Payton scandal. All the fans she’d worked so hard for were wiped out overnight.

She thought, ‘And now Maggie wants my help? She should be grateful I’m not making things even worse for

her.’

Natalie just wanted to wash her hands of the whole mess. She didn’t even bother pretending to be kind

anymore.

She said, dead serious, “Maggie, why didn’t you tell me that Sierra asked to terminate the contract? Now look, you’ve dragged me into this, too.”

“I…” Maggie was totally stunned, lost for words.

It was the company that told her to do whatever it took to keep Sierra from leaving. Now that everything had gone south, suddenly it was all her fault.

Maggie was pissed but didn’t dare retort. She knew the company was making her the scapegoat, leaving her to be roasted alive by the netizens.

Within a single day, all of Maggie’s info was blasted online, and the company dropped her like a hot potato just to cover their own backs.

Natalie acted all innocent and posted a half-hearted apology on Twitter, while the company played dumb, saying they knew nothing and begging Sierra for forgiveness.

As for that so-called renewal contract Sierra signed, the company pretended it didn’t even exist.

When Sierra saw the public opinion starting to swing back in her favor, she couldn’t help but smirk.

She’d stirred up the drama on purpose, blowing things up so big that there was no way the agency or Natalie could cover it up anymore.

She wanted their lies to snowball until the trouble was so big that there was no fixing it, no matter what they did.

PR could try to steer the conversation all they wanted, but Sierra wasn’t some rookie. Three years in the business had taught her every trick in the book.

Just then, Henry messaged her, letting her know everything was ready to roll.

Now, all she needed was the spark to set it off. Sierra logged back onto Twitter and dropped a bombshell:

[The company

and that bitch really know how to twist the facts and gloss over everything, making a big show and then quietly sweeping it under the rug.

[I’m not just demanding a contract termination. I’m pursuing legal action against you.]

[First, I had no idea WonderWild Live was changing its format and airing early. Maggie is a seasoned agent.

[Are we really supposed to believe she’d be so lacking in integrity and professionalism as to leak her own client’s private info?]

[Second, I’ve been in Yondeland these past few days, but the contract says I signed it three days ago. So, who signed my name without my consent?]

[Third, Natalie keeps pushing my limits, even going so far as to incite her fans to vandalize my house with red paint. Don’t even try to tell me you had no idea about that.]

Sierra called out with three hard-hitting questions, instantly setting the internet on fire again and sending the drama into a whole new frenzy.

The company’s higher-ups, who thought they could just downplay the whole mess and make it disappear, started freaking out.

They were just about to start a crisis meeting when, out of nowhere, a squad of soldiers in uniform and cops in full gear barged right into the conference room.

But what really made everyone freeze was that every single one of them was armed.

The soldiers and police kicked open the doors and didn’t waste a second, cuffing everyone in the room.

“Who are you people? I’m calling the police,” the company boss, Leon Lyons, yelled, and then it hit him that these were the police.

“Not even the gods can save you today,” the lead cop sneered, slapping the arrest warrant in Leon’s face. “Leon Lyons, CEO and legal representative of Bluewave Entertainment.

“We’ve received a tip and confirmed massive tax evasion. Everyone here is coming in for questioning.”

As soon as the cop finished talking, Leon’s face went even paler. He didn’t even try to fight it, just let himself

On the other side of things, Natalie hurried home, anxious to see how the Sterlings were handling the fallout.

The moment she walked in the door, she was stunned. The place was crawling with soldiers and cops.

The Sterlings were crouched in the corner with their hands on their heads, faces pale and terrified.

Sophie wasn’t in her usual police uniform this time. She was decked out in full military gear as she strode right up to Natalie.

Natalie’s mind went totally blank as she stumbled back a few steps, staring at Sophie in utter confusion. “Who… Who are you? What do

you want?”

Before she could even process what was happening, Natalie felt a pair of silver handcuffs snap around her wrists.

Sophie’s eyes were sharp and unyielding. “Natalie, you’re under arrest.”
