Fabiola smiled. Her innocent–looking face always made people forget that she was actually the boss of Stargaze Entertainment. “For my Melody, I don’t want la on the other side to get what she wants. Even if we failed to snatch Brianna, this isn’t something I’m just going to let go.”
Polly hesitated. “But… my relationship with Brianna is very close.”
Fabiola spoke generously. “I’ll give you five million dollars first. Once you completely crush Brianna and make sure she can never survive in this industry again. l give you another five million after it’s done.”
Melody wasn’t short on money either. She just felt that million dollars wasn’t worth it–one million would have been enough to keep Brianna from ever jumping around again.
“Fabiola, isn’t that a bit too generous?”
“Melody, anything is worth it for you. Ten million isn’t that much,” Fabiola said with a smile. “It’s just that Brianna doesn’t have the luck–or the eye for things. Otherwise, this money would’ve been hers. So really. money should go to smart people.”
She asked Polly, “So–are you in?”
Polly could barely hide her excitement, yet she still put on a reluctant act. “I … I only ever wanted Brianna to do better and better. But she stabbed me in the back. I have no choice. Ms. Keaton, I’m willing to cooperate.
Fabiola transferred five million dollars to Polly on the spot. “Polly, don’t disappoint me.”
Polly had never seen this much money before. Fabiola transferred it without even blinking, and the shock hit hard. She desperately wanted to be this rich, too.
At this point, Polly was already bowing and scraping in front of Fabiola.
Fabiola smiled silently.
She never once took Polly seriously.
The matter was settled. Time to leave.
As soon as she stood up, Melody couldn’t help but wrap an arm around Fabiola. “Fabiola, I really love you to death. Come on, let’s find somewhere to celebrate. My treat.”
“Sure, Melody,” Fabiola replied, never one to kill the mood.
The exit corridor ran through the middle. Fabiola’s private room and Ayla’s were on opposite sides, forming a T–shaped layout. No matter which room you left from you had to walk toward the same central corridor.
What a coincidence.
Ayla’s group and Fabiola’s group ran straight into each other, face to face.
Brianna had just mentioned that Fabiola was next door.
Stargaze had come specifically to block them.
Ayla had seen photos of Fabiola before, but this was their first time meeting in person. A half–sister from the same father–Ayla had always been the “older sister” type. The idea that she herself had an older sister was

something she had already digested, but seeing her in the flesh still triggered a surge of emotions.
She didn’t even dare imagine how Kaleb would react if he knew.
Finished.
Ayla’s expression remained relatively calm, but the hand hanging at her side unknowingly clenched into a
fist.
Fabiola was slightly shorter than her. Her long, straight lack hair fell almost to her waist, glossy and smooth.
She wore a pale green, form–fitting evening dress. Paired with her understated temperament, she looked serene and scholarly.
From head to toe, Fabiola was flawless–delicate in every detail. At first glance, one would think she had been pampered her whole life, born into a good family, never having faced hardship, with no sharp edges at all.
Someone this gentle was probably loved by everyone. Who wouldn’t like her?

Ayla hadn’t suffered much growing up either, but after going through setbacks and clawing her way out, she had grown sharp thorns all over.
Or rather, that was simply her nature–something that couldn’t be suppressed.
Ayla was not someone without desires. Sh
She wanted to take, to fight,
Those desires had shaped who she was today.
And Ayla liked the person she had become.
Hannah whispered in her ear, “That’s Fabiola Keaton.”
“I can tell.”

claim many things.
“I don’t understand why she keeps targeting us. I thought it was just that one time trying to steal talent.”
Ayla replied calmly, “She’s coming after me. Do you see the woman beside her?”
Hannah noticed a woman dressed with strong artistic flair.
“Melody Howell. She likes my boyfriend,” Ayla said. “She doesn’t get along with me, so she got her friend Fabiola to make a move against us.”
Hannah froze again. Ayla had a boyfriend?
In her eyes, Ayla was practically a work machine–an entertainment company boss and also a programmer, probably. She hadn’t asked too many details, only knew Ayla was insanely busy. Yet with that precise tim management, she handled two demanding roles flawlessly–and still found time to date?
Seeing Hannah’s confusion, Ayla said, “I’ll introduce you to him later.”
Hannah was surprised. That hadn’t been part of today’s plan–it would probably turn into a private gathering.
At the same time, she was curious.

Troy, as an ex–husband, wasn’t worth anything anymore–lar objectively, he was still among the top tier in looks. What kind of boyfriend could Ayla possibly have how? Hannah was genuinely curious.
Melody noticed that Fabiola didn’t recognize Ayla and mediately said to her, “See her? The one in the suit –that’s Ayla Keaton! What should we do? Just seeing her annoys me. I feel like killing her.”
Fabiola looked at Ayla, met those cool, distant eyes, and smiled without warmth reaching her gaze. “Melody, don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll make you happy.”
Melody was delighted.
