Chapter 226

The moment Lindsey’s back was turned, Jayleen’s smile vanished, replaced by a fiery glare, as if she wanted to tear Lindsey apart.

Her colleagues around her chimed in with various comments, “Miss Archer, Lindsey’s being too arrogant.

How dare she challenge you Like that!”

“She’s just bluffing.

You’re definitely going to win this! We have faith in you!”

Jayleen scoffed.

“Where does she get the nerve to bet with me? If I lose, it would mean I’m not competent enough.

But I’ll make sure she regrets it and leaves the company in disgrace!”

Right after Lindsey settled into her office and shut the door, a call from Vincent came through.

“Lindsey, what’s the deal with the trending topic today?”

Gripping her phone tightly, Lindsey answered, “Mr.

Lopez, someone is intentionally spreading false stories about Selah to block her from starring in your upcoming film.

But don’t worry.

I’ll find a way to handle these rumors before we announce the lead actress.

”

Vincent, trusting Selah’s character, suspected foul play behind the rumors.

He was concerned about the backlash from public opinion influencing his decision to cast Selah.

Hearing Lindsey’s reassurance, he felt somewhat relieved.

“Thanks, Lindsey.

I’m looking forward to hearing some positive updates.

”

Meanwhile, Jayleen reclined in her office chair, legs elegantly crossed.

She pulled out her phone and dialed a number from her contacts list, a gossip journalist.

“There’s something I believe will pique your interest.

If it’s shared online, it’s bound to garner a lot of attention…”

After ending the call, Jayleen’s lips curled into a cunning smile, and murmured to herself, “Lindsey, since you’ve walked right into my trap, I’m not just going to push you out of the company.

I’ll make sure your reputation is tarnished throughout the industry!”

Shortly after, a renowned blogger disclosed Lindsey’s daring bet with Jayleen, creating a commotion and intensifying the rivalry for the lead role between Kristy and Selah.

If either of them failed, it meant their agents had to quit too!

Everyone was thrilled by this.

Fans quickly picked sides.

Team Jayleen and Kristy on one end, Lindsey and Selah on the other.

The discussion heated up, and Lindsey and Jayleen became well-known to the public.

Netizens were excited to witness the unfolding drama.

Even celebrities started making secret bets, guessing who’d come out on top.

Most bets were on Jayleen.

She was the agent director of Vitality Entertainment and Kristy’s agent, who’s a superstar.

But Lindsey? Just a newbie agent.

And Selah? She’s got a shady background.

Everyone was waiting for them to slip up.

The entertainment world hadn’t been this lively in ages.

As the evening settled in, Lindsey sat comfortably on her home’s sofa, indulging in watermelon and browsing Twitter, amused by those fiery comments.

“If Kristy doesn’t win, I’ll go live and run in the street naked!”
