*600 thousand dollars? What do you want me to do?” The person on the other end was stunned by the amount, barely able to hide his excitement.

After all, for most people, 600 thousand dollars surely wasn’t a small amount of money. It could be the amount they could never save up in their entire life.

Angelica smiled faintly. She knew the offer would be irresistible. She spoke calmly, “I need you to add something to the food at Victoria’s birthday party tonight.”

“What exactly do you want me to add?” The person sounded hesitant, realizing this wasn’t something simple. “You’re not asking me to use something deadly, are you? I won’t do that!”

Angelica quickly explained, “No, of course not. It’s just something to upset the stomach, nothing dangerous. Even if the Binder family blames you, you can say it’s by accident. There’s nothing they can do to you. Even if they fire you, you’ll still walk away with 600 thousand dollars.”

The other party went quiet for a while, weighing the pros and cons. After a while, the person finally said, “Alright, I’m in. But you need to get me the drug quickly. The fresh ingredients are already here, and we’re on a tight schedule.”

“Okay. Someone will reach out to you in an hour and give you the drug,” Angelica replied without hesitation.

“One more thing,” the person said, still sounding uneasy. “Since this somehow carries a risk, I’d like a 300 thousand dollars deposit in advance.”

Angelica agreed without hesitation, “No problem.”

After hanging up, Angelica knew there was no way she could go straight to Nathan and ask for the 600 thousand dollars. ‘But if this plan works, Nathan’ll give me way more than just 600 thousand dollars, she thought.

But Howard had sold off all her luxury handbags and gambled everything away, leaving her completely broke. She now had no choice but to borrow the money from Zachary.

Just the thought of borrowing money from Zachary made Angelica feel utterly humiliated. She could already picture the way he would mock her, but she had no other option.

Angelica took a deep breath and dialed Zachary’s number. Soon, his playful, arrogant voice came on. “What’s up? Looking for a good time? Want yours truly to help you out?”

Angelica forced herself to swallow his humiliation and spoke in a soft, flirtatious tone. “Of course, Zachary, I’ve been thinking about you so much lately.”

“Is that so?” Zachary sounded pretty satisfied with her answer. “Alright, go freshen up and wait for me. I’ll swing by tonight.”

Angelica replied in a sweet, needy voice, “Don’t wait until tonight, Zachary. Come over right now; I can’t stand it, I need you.”

“Fuck! You’re such a horny bitch!” Zachary’s crude insult suddenly blasted through the phone, making Angelica feel even more humiliated.

But for the sake of 600 thousand dollars, Angelica kept her voice sugary sweet and flirtatious. “Don’t say that, Zachary. I’m only like this for you. Guess what? It’s my birthday today. Aren’t you going to spoil me a little?”

“Today’s your birthday?” Zachary sounded surprised. “So, what do you want for a present?”

Angelica felt a rush of excitement and quickly said, “Anything you give me, Zachary, I’ll love it.”

She then paused for a second, then added, “But I’ve hit a bit of a rough patch lately and need some cash to get out of this mess. Zachary, could you lend me 600 thousand dollars?”

“What? 600 thousand dollars?” Zachary exclaimed, totally shocked. “Angelica, do you still think you’re the queen of Benwig City? You really think you’re worth 600 thousand dollars for just one night?”

Angelica clenched her phone, trying to stay calm. “Come on, Zachary, that’s not what I meant. I’m just borrowing it, and I’ll pay you back really soon.”

Zachary paused, sounding reluctant, then finally said, “Alright, but let’s see how you perform in bed later.”

After hanging up. Angelica was so sick to her stomach that she rushed to the bathroom and threw up. It took her a long time to finally pull herself together.

She used to be the dream girl of many rich kids in Benwig City, the kind of beauty no one could touch. But now she had to stoop so low, trying to please a useless playboy like Zachary just for 600 thousand dollars.

Just thinking about it made her hate Victoria even more. She really wished she could wring Victoria’s neck herself and keep it in her room like some sick trophy.

If the plan of Nathan and mine succeeds, tonight will be the last birthday Victoria ever gets to celebrate, she thought.

Right before lunch, Tracy rushed into Victoria’s office, clutching her phone tightly, her face lit up with excitement. “Ms. Binder, look! Just as we predicted, Brightstar Entertainment’s stock shot up this morning!”

Tracy could barely contain her excitement as she continued, “And look at Gale Entertainment, after what happened with Timothy, their stock has been tanking for three days straight. Everyone thought Curtis’s new song would turn things around, but nope, it’s still dropping today!”

“Yeah,” Victoria listened to Tracy’s report and just responded calmly. Her expression was perfectly calm because she had expected all of this.

In fact, Victoria had already anticipated this outcome. Not only did she have a firm grasp of Starlight Entertainment’s stock movements, but she also knew full well this was only the initial stage of the decline for Great Wind Entertainment, an established veteran in the entertainment industry.

From this point forward, Victoria would make every effort to suppress Gale Entertainment, ensuring they never regained their footing until she ultimately absorbed and completely took over the company.

Thinking about this, Victoria’s lips curled into a smile. “Next is ‘Chasing the Dream.’ If this show takes off as we expect, Brightstar Entertainment’s stock will soar. And for all the loyal staff who didn’t jump ship to Gale Entertainment, get ready for promotions and raises.”

Tracy’s eyes sparkled. “Got it, Ms. Binder.”

If any other boss had said that, Tracy would have thought they were blowing smoke. But when Victoria said it, she actually believed there was something to look forward to.

Just as Victoria was about to drive off after leaving Brightstar Entertainment, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, her eyes glinting with intrigue. She picked up, lips curling into a smile. “Hi,” she said.

The voice on the other end was buzzing with excitement. “Miss Binder, is your offer still good?”

“Of course, it is. So, Angelica came to you?” Victoria lounged back in her chair, totally relaxed.

Ever since she officially took over the Binder family from her grandfather, Victoria made sure to give every manager a stern warning, reminding them exactly who was in charge. But it wasn’t just about keeping them in line; she also dangled offers that were simply impossible to turn down.

If anyone ever approached them to do something against her, her parents, or her grandpa, they were to call her right away. And she would pay them double whatever the other party was offering.

“Yeah. Miss Binder, you really saw this coming. Angelica just reached out and asked me to put something in the food at your birthday party tonight that’ll upset stomachs. She promised me 600 thousand dollars if I pull it off. I’ll send you the call recording in a bit.”

Seriously? That’s all you have? Victoria thought, rolling her eyes. ‘You’re trying to drug me? Don’t you know I’m unbeatable when it comes to stuff like this? You messed up once and still haven’t learned a thing. What a pathetic trick!

Victoria sat up straight, started her car, and said coolly, “Alright, just slip some of the drugs into Darell’s family’s food. Hand the rest over to me, and I’ll give you 1.2 million dollars.”
