The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 297

The Wilkinsons held serious sway in the entertainment industry—they practically owned half of it.

Back in the day, it was the entertainment business that put the Wilkinson family on the map.

Jasper might not have had many talents, but when it came to showbiz, his word carried real weight.

Shutting out someone like Stella—a complete nobody—was child’s play for him. In fact, even top-tier celebrities could vanish from the scene if Jasper so much as whispered it.

The person on the other end of the line was floored by Jasper’s demand.

“A blacklist? Are you saying you want Ms. Cameron blacklisted?”

He’d done his homework. It turned out the original clip of Stella that had gone viral first surfaced from Jasper’s own account. And that live stream? It was cut precisely at the moment when Stella was shining brightest.

Talk about understanding your audience—he’d reeled them in perfectly. The more you try to hide something, the more desperate people are to see it. The more mysterious it is, the greater the curiosity. This smokescreen routine was executed to perfection.

No one outside the industry could have orchestrated something so slick. It was obvious—the whole thing was a publicity stunt to launch one of his own artists.

Jasper’s tone was cold and vicious. “That’s right. Blacklist her—now. And make sure word gets out.”

In this industry, who would dare go up against the Wilkinsons?

The man hesitated, at a loss for words, then finally managed a response. “Alright… I’ll take care of it right away.”

After hanging up, Jasper’s jaw clenched with anger.

The better things seemed to go for Stella, the more it infuriated him. Conversely, the more miserable she became, the happier he felt.

…

In a private dining room at a restaurant, Jasper was hosting a small gathering to celebrate Haynes’ divorce.
