Chapter 371

“Enough with the insults.

Even as a die-hard fan of Kristy, I’ve cast my vote for Selah.

”

“It’s clear Kristy was outdone.

We accept it wholeheartedly.

”

“The gap between Kristy and Selah is evident.

Kristy has much to learn.

”

“Welcome back, Selah.

The best is yet to come.

”

Selah emerged victorious.

An overjoyed Lindsey, tears streaming down her face, embraced Selah.

“You’re incredible, Selah.

I’m so proud.

You’re the true leading Lady.

”

Returning the embrace, Selah fought back tears.

“Thank you, Lindsey.

I’m lost without you.

You’re the reason I got a second chance.

You’re the beacon that the swan with a broken neck followed.

”

Selah resolved to follow that beacon for life.

As they shared this tearful moment, Vincent’s stern voice cut through.

“Jayleen, I’m aware of your ploy with the paid voters during the audition.

”

“Furthermore, she’s been influe

ncing the judges with bribes.

”

Ruby, the voice’s owner, stood with a piercing gaze.

Being the most seasoned figure in the film industry, Ruby had an extensive network of connections.

No matter what happened, it could not escape from her eyes.

Before arriving here, she’d heard about the bribery of the judges, prompting her to come personally.

Vincent, too, had noticed that three judges, compromised by bribes, were deliberately obstructing Selah’s progress.

Without their interference, Selah might have already secured her victory.

“I’ll make sure this issue gets investigated thoroughly.

” Vincent’s displeased glance swept across the room.

The implicated judges hung their heads, visibly shaken.

Then, turning to Jayleen with a stern look, Vincent publicly rebuked her actions, “Jayleen, your actions have crossed a line.

I won’t be working with any artists under your management in the future.

”

“Mr.

Lopez, please, there’s been a misunderstanding.

I didn’t hire any paid voters.

I…” Jayleen stammered in desperation.

“Don’t bother explaining!” Vincent interrupted.

“Do you think I’m unaware that you bribed my staff for the audition script ahead of time? Jayleen, you’ve been an agent for years.

Don’t you realize that while the script is set, the performance is not? I deliberately had the scriptwriter add an illogical plot to the third scene.

It was a test of adaptability, but you directed Kristy to stick rigidly to the script, missing the whole point! Jayleen, you have done so many despicable things.

You’re not fit to be an agent.

”

Vincent then turned his stern gaze to Kristy.

“Kristy, you had so much potential at the start of your career.

I had high hopes for you.

But instead of enhancing your acting skills, you chose underhanded tactics.

This is a real letdown.
