Chapter 523


    Angel suddenly became anxious.


    As her reputation had only just started to improve, Valerie would surpass her if she couldn''t secure her next role during the promotional peak of Once Upon A Time. She also remembered Valerie had said that as long as Valerie wanted to enter this industry, the entire Grant family would support her. If so, there would be no ce in the industry left for Angel.


    Especially considering Angel''s future marriage to Fred, as both would be daughters-inw of the Grant family, the support she could receive would be far less than Valerie''s.


    Angel suddenly became anxious. She had to act quickly and make sure Rhett chose her. No matter what, Angel had nothing left to lose at this point. She couldn''t let Valerie and Rhett''s n seed, even if it meant doing something drastic. She was willing to go to any lengths, even if it meantpromising herself.


    Angel steadied her thoughts. She returned to the dressing room to touch up her makeup and even changed into a more alluring dress. By the time the afternoon live broadcast was about to start, everyone was busy preparing. She arrived early on set and, not seeing Rhett, breathed a sigh of relief. She realized she needed to act quickly to intercept any opportunities, or she would lose her chance.


    As everyone around her was busy, Angel quietly slipped out of the live broadcast room and went outside. When Rhett arrived by car, he was taken aback to see her standing there. "Miss Santos?" he asked, surprised.


    "Mr. Singleton, you''re here! Come quickly; everyone is waiting for you!" Angel said with a smile, leading him upstairs.


    Rhett chuckled at the sight. "Why are you personally greeting guests today? That''s quite unusual. Has Star Xarous Group run out of security guards?"


    "Mr. Singleton, you have such a way with words. I had just arrived. I heard you hadn''t arrived yet, so I thought I''d meet you and head up for some moral support!"


    Rhett chuckled and instinctively tried to keep his distance from her. After all, thest incident had spread throughout the industry. Although the PR efforts around Matthew and Fred''s marriage were rtively sessful, insiders knew Matthew wasn''t as harmless as he appeared. So, he was keen on maintaining some distance from Angel.


    However, Angel stepped forward and took his arm. "Mr. Singleton, when will you start casting for the new project you mentionedst time? You know, I happen to have some avabilitytely, so..."


    Rhett, hearing this, was reluctant to waste words and chuckled, saying, "It''s still early days; everything is uncertain."


    To Angel, it seemed like she was


    being sidelined. Rhett''s inclination to favor Valerie was evident, and hisment about it still being early was dismissive. Angel had heard that Rhett''s new script was finalized, and casting was imminent. Valerie''s sudden appearance today likely to discuss a coboration, reinforced her suspicions.


    Angel took a deep breath and led Rhett directly to the studio. With so many rooms at Star Xarous Group, she needed privacy for their discussion. "Mr. Singleton," she began.


    Rhett looked around and, seeing no one nearby, was taken aback when Angel entered and closed the door behind her. "Why did you close the door? Where is everyone? Isn''t today supposed to be a live broadcast?" he asked. He wondered, ''This studio doesn''t seem set up for a live


    broadcast either.'' Content belongs

    Rhett looked at Angel suspiciously while she approached him with a mysterious smile. "Mr. Singleton, they''re inside!" Inside the studio, there were two rooms with a table. Without suspicion, Rhett followed Angel in.


    Angel thought cleverly. Although the studio felt dangerous, today, its only use was for her interview. As long as she didn''t show up, the interview couldn''t start, making the studio the safest ce. Little did she realize that right after she stepped in, Valerie locked the door from outside.


    As the time approached and Rhett


    didn''t show up, everyone became


    anxious. The director and media


    reporters started to worry, not knowing where Angel had gone. The director was increasingly frantic, urging, "Quickly, call him! Where did


    everyone go?" Dying the broadcast would surely draw

    People inside the live studio began to flood in, franticallymenting online. [It''s supposed to start at four. What time is it now? Where is everyone?]Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    [I heard Angel Santos was supposed to be here today. It is her first livestream after the controversy. I want to see her!]


    [Is she still not here? There''s only five minutes left!]


    Outside, the staff were making frantic calls and searching for people. "I just saw Angel at the door a moment ago. How could she suddenly disappear?"


    "Rhett''s phone is also not reachable!"


    "Miss Santos'' phone is switched off. What''s going on?"


    The crowd was in a frenzy, and no one noticed that Valerie had quietly entered the control room. She opened the live broadcast feed from the studio.
