“Are you really that happy?” Tristan grumbled. What''s so amazing about the album topping the music
charts? If I enter the entertainment industry, I can do it too.
Putting down her phone, Sophie smiled. “Of course I''m happy! As I expected, good music won''t get
buried. Mark and the others are worth it!”
The fact that herpany''s first album and the title track for it managed to reach the top spot was an
excellent achievement worthy of celebrating.
Additionally, that was just the beginning. She believed the other songs would be just as famous in
the following days.
“You need to be careful of yton. He''s a petty man. Since The Wheelers used to belong to him, I
doubt he''ll let it slide after seeing the band doing so well. The Wheelers is unquestionably a profitable
band, and losing a money tree like that no doubt makes yton ufortable,” Tristan warned.
“I know. You don''t need to worry about me.” It wasn''t Sophie''s first time dealing with yton, after all.
“If you need anything, you must tell me about it, okay?” Tristan wanted to aid her in her battle against
yton.
“Sure. If I need anything, I''ll let you know.”
After Sophie returned to school from Lombard Group, she attended an afternoon''s worth of sses.
When the sses were over, Ysabelle immediately approached her.
“What''s wrong?” Sophie promptly realized something was off when she saw her friend''s expression.
“yton''s going overboard, Sophie! He''s clearly trying to damage The Wheelers'' reputation!”
“What happened?” Sophie was asleep for the whole afternoon, so she had no idea what was going on.
“Take a look yourself!” Immediately afterward, Ysabelle handed over her phone for Sophie to see.
As expected, yton had made his move on The Wheelers. People started talking about how the
members of The Wheelers used to consume narcotics.
That was very bad because the entertainment industry had zero tolerance for anything rted to
gambling, drugs, and prostitution. Even though it was just a baseless rumor, it had already affected The
Wheelers'' spot on the charts.
“Currently, Freezewave''s sales have exceeded The Wheelers''! Even worse, the situation is still
escting!” Ysabelle was furious. “yton''s such a despicable man! He''s willing to do anything to
achieve his goal! What should we do now, Sophie? I wonder how the band''s holding up. We should go
check up on them. Anyone''s mental state will copse if they encounter such a thing.”
“Hold on.” After returning the phone to Ysabelle, Sophie pulled out her own phone to call Jonathan.
“Take care of them. Ignore everything else. You can also confiscate all of their phones if need be,” she
ordered.
“This matter has severely affected The Wheelers, Ms. Tanner. It must be the work of yton because
he''s jealous of how well the band is doing. Right now, public rtions is very important. We''re a new
company, so our public rtions team''s no match for yton. There''s nothing I can do on my end,
too.” Jonathan wasn''t a na?ve idiot. He had been in the entertainment industry for many years, so he
knew how deadly yton''s tactics were.
“I got it. In any case, just leave this matter to me. All you need to do is to take care of them.”
Sophie''s words didn''t put Jonathan at ease, as he was genuinely scared of yton. “What can you do,
Ms. Tanner? yton''s an entertainment industry mogul! It''s as easy as lifting a finger for him to
cklist someone.”
“What you all need right now is to calm down. The battle has only just begun and you''re throwing in the
towel already? How are we going to continue if that''s the kind of mentality you have?”
“All right then, Ms. Tanner. If you''re unclear about anything, let me know.” That was all Jonathan could
say.
After all, Sophie was only eighteen years old. He believed she had no idea about the darkness lurking
underneath the entertainment industry. Some people cannot be offended. Once they are, they''ll make
sure to plunge whoever offended them into endless agony. yton is someone like that.
After the call ended, Jonathan confiscated The Wheelers'' phones.
“What are you doing, Jonathan? We''re not greenhorns, you know. Why take our phones away? Is it
really necessary?” Sunny protested.
“All you guys need to do right now is to calm down. Although it''s true that our title track is popr right
now, there''s still a long road ahead. Sophie''s still young. You all can''t make her worry.” Jonathan''s
words rendered Sunny speechless.
Fine. I''m not that addicted to my phone, anyway. I don''t mind if it''s taken away from me. Sunny
grumbled inwardly.
It seemed that the band members were willing to ept anything whenever Sophie was mentioned.
Meanwhile, after Sophie hung up her phone, she called the manager of TS'' Public Rtions
Department.
It cost her an arm and a leg to hire the department manager because that person knew how to handle
stuff like that in the entertainment industry.
“Don''t worry, Ms. Sophie. I''m already taking care of the matter. I won''t let you down.” The manager had
saved many celebrities before, and she could do it again.
“Tell me if you need anything.” Sophie had no reason to doubt the manager''s ability as she would never
hire someone she was skeptical of.
Thus, she believed the manager would be able to handle the matter.
“All right, Ms. Sophie. If there''s nothing else, I''ll carry on with my work now,” the manager replied.
There were always two sides to a matter.
While The Wheelers were being vilified, they had also gotten a massive amount of publicity.
Ever since the rumors broke out, The Wheelers had remained trending for days. As long as the truth
came out in time, their other songs would surely be popr as well.
“Is everything really going to be okay, Sophie?” It was the first time Ysabelle encountered something
like that, so she had no clue if they were going to pull through.
Most importantly, TS was far too youngpared to Sky Media. They never thought about vilifying
theirpetitors before.
Just then, Willow arrived with a smug grin on her face. “Did you see the news, Sophie? That''s the band
you signed a contract with!”
The Wheelers is suffering a crushing defeat under Freezewave''s boots right now. Hah! What a useless
company TS is. Thank goodness I didn''t sign a contract with thepany back then. Otherwise, my
future would have been doomed.

“What does it matter to you? Why are you here again? Do you crave for attention that much?” It
seemed that whenever Ysabelle saw Willow, her battle spirit would soar.
“No, I''m not here for that. By the way, yton''s treating me very nicely! Even though I haven''t even
entered a film school yet, he''s already letting me star in a web series! Not to mention this web series is
adapting a very popr novel.” The reason why Willow was there was that she wanted to show off and
laugh at Sophie. “You know, Sophie, there''s no need to keep throwing your fortune into the trashcan
like this. It''s your hard-earned money, after all. I think you should just disband TS. With Sky Media
around, there''s no way TS can survive in the entertainment industry!”
Ysabelle couldn''t help but roll her eyes. This d*mn woman! Can she stop acting loathsome for once?
“Is that so? In any case, you don''t get to say what''ll happen to TS! In fact, you should pay more
attention to yourself so that you won''t get sold out.” While Ysabelle had no idea why yton brought
Willow in, she was certain he had a hidden agenda for doing so, especially when he specifically sought
Willow out. I can''t believe she still had the gall to show off in front of me and Sophie when she knew
nothing!
