'Keep digging and see if we can find out who bought it.'
'Got it.'
Having dealt with Eugene for so many years, Lydia knew him well, and the feeling was mutual.
Eugene had risen to the pinnacle as a top-notch agent, thanks to his sharp mind and undeniable prowess.
Violeta was under Eugene, and she wouldn't have made such a rookie mistake with his guidance.
If this had passed Eugene's scrutiny, it meant the brand had given a heads-up.
Lydia's brow furrowed slightly as her gaze swept forward.
Just who exactly is this Violeta White?
The Clio Charity Night was officially started.
The room was darkened, and the curtains on the stage parted to reveal a promotional video for this evening's event.
The audience was filled with many stars, and the video was recorded in advance.
Once the promotional video finished, some prearranged celebrities took the stage to auction off items.
Among the elite attendees were the crème de la crème of Quinston City's society, with numerous rich ladies willing to spend lavishly on their favourite male stars.
Violeta hadn't yet reached the status to take the stage, so she remained seated, watching the spectacle unfold.
However, she spotted familiar faces up there.
Nolan, clad in a sleek black custom suit, stood alongside Polly Tillery and a few other top-tier celebrities, each exuding an air of elegance and sophistication.
Violeta's eyes lingered on Nolan for a few moments.
Eugene's voice broke her reverie.
"Nolan has gained a lot of popularity over the last two years. Marina Media is practically bound to him, and I've heard they're even considering to go public because of him."
The influence of a top-tier star was frightening.
Nolan was able to single-handedly support the entire company. Marina Media had transformed from a tiny five-person studio into a renowned media company in the industry, all thanks to him.
He was their golden goose, and the company treated him accordingly.
