After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Just Anybody?

Katrina’s agent really didn’t want to help her. He was well aware of the trouble she had stirre up and that assisting her might tank his own career in the industry. But at the same time, he knew that most of the messes Katrina found herself in were actually orchestrated by the company and him. Katrina always had her eyes on the prize, clawing her way to the top was her main objective, and that’s why she had gotten her hands dirty in the first place.

all, just a fading starlet on the He wasn’t really scared of Katrina herself brink of oblivion. It was her potential to spill the beans on Cyril and really worried him. And yet, if Katrina could team up with Bulk, maybe there was one last chance to exploit her fame… 1

While Bulk wasn’t known for being a pushover, the agent couldn’t shake the thought that maybe just maybe–it was worth a shot to try and negotiate something. Bulk was stubborn and set in his ways, after all. If he found out they wanted to pair him with Katrina, a non- professional singer, he surely wouldn’t be thrilled.

Pondering the situation gave the agent a headache, but eventually, he decided he had no choice but to dial up Bulk’s rep and test the waters. Agents had each other’s numbers, so reaching Bulk’s agent, Mike, wasn’t unusual. Everyone knew that partnering with Bulk required the man’s own approval, and without it, any dealings were dead in the water.

“Hello, what’s up?” Mike answered, his tone far from inviting.

Since joining the business, Mike had forged a path from obscurity to a top–tier agent, always at Bulk’s side, climbing to a rank where he was second to none.

she’s eyeing “I’m sorry to bother you, Mr. Mike. It’s about Katrina’s concert appearances Bulk’s upcoming show. Given her clout in the showbiz, I’m sure you realize a collaboration could be beneficial for both…”

Mike cut him off before he could finish.

“Hold your horses. You seem to be misunderstanding something. If Bulk is to collaborate, it’s got to be with another singer. You think we’re just waiting for anyone from showbiz to waltz into Bulk’s concert like some sort of charity case?”

–

Back in the day, stars from all corners especially film and TV – wanted to hop on the Bulk express, and it grated on him. Bulk had a rule: only real singers allowed on his stage. Otherwise, were they coming to collaborate, or were they coming to mess things up?

The agent, sensing the growing awkwardness, tried to play it off, “Well, you see, before moving to TV, Katrina actually started out as a singer. It’s just that she realized her talents

were more suited for acting…”

“Cut the crap,” Mike snapped, “She just found out she can’t sing. If that’s all you’ve got, then I don’t see a point in talking further.”

With that, Mike hung up. Who did they think they were, thinking they could work with Bulk without even fulfilling the basic criteria? It was a joke.

After the call ended abruptly, Mike, fuming, threw his phone on the ground. The name Katrina rang a bell. He seemed to remember someone mentioning it to him before.

Curious, he searched Katrina’s name online, and what he found

“ade his stomach turn.

she must’ve been at her wit’s end.

No wonder she wanted a collaboration so desperately – she

was happily writing songs, apparently sailing

Mike didn’t waste any time finding Bulk, who away from his troubles. Mike knew Bulk’s family background, and so when he heard that Bulk’s sister had gotten a divorce, he wasn’t just surprised; he was pleased. Why should such an amazing woman stay with a lousy guy?

“Someone called about a collab at your upcoming concert,” Mike relayed.

Bulk, in a good mood, glanced over, “Who’s looking to team up? You know my rule – they gotta be a singer first.‘

“It’s Katrina.”

“Any Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to work with me now? Who is this Katrina?…”

Bulk was about to lose temper, but then the name clicked. Seeing Mike’s expectant look, Bulk knew why. Fiercely protective of his sister, how could he just let it slide when she had been wronged?

“Ah, it’s her. Let her come. I want to see who’s bold enough to have messed with my sister.”

A sinister smile spread across Bulk’s face, and seeing his reaction, Mike knew Katrina was in for trouble. He actually relished informing Bulk, knowing it would spell disaster for her.

“So, it’s settled? I’ll make the arrangements for her guest appearance. Anything else you need me to prepare?”

With a nod, Bulk gave the go–ahead, “Get my brother to dig up some dirt on that woman. I want solid proof. If she dared to mess with my sister, she’s about to learn what it feels like to be called out in public.”

Bulk’s laugh was cold as ice. Anyone who crossed him learned that the hard way. If it weren’t for Sylvia’s stubbornness, he’d have acted sooner.
