Chapter 577


    Two hours... Four hours... Half a day had passed.


    The senior managers of the Santos Group paced anxiously outside the screening room. They waited in suspense, unsure of what to expect. Finally, the door opened.


    Noticing Louis''s unusual expression, the staff were at a loss for words. They could not figure out his thoughts.


    Louis did not know what to say. Having watched the film twice, he finally concluded that Valerie was the right choice for the role.


    While it might not be perfect, her portrayal of the character was highlymendable. Her dedication, the overall makeup, and her performance in the film made Louis believe that she truly embodied the character of Audrey Padi.


    Valerie captured the essence of the character from the script and the original work, something even Angel could not have achieved. As a substitute performer, she had done her best within her capabilities.


    As Louis left the office, he heard amotion from the administrative area. Everyone was discussing.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Look at that! Miss Santos is stirring things up again. We should help out!"


    "She''s from the Santos Group. We should take action!"


    "Miss Santos even promised us that if we help, she''ll..."


    Louis frowned, realizing his employees had be Angel''s inte army.


    He ordered, "Notify everyone to gather for a meeting immediately!"


    Louis held an urgent meeting. The topic was the prohibition of any staff from engaging in promoting or assisting Angel with hereback.


    The staff was shocked. The Santos Group had always supported Angel, and now Louis was stopping hereback.


    They were astonished, but as the boss had spoken, they had no choice but toply.


    When the news reached Angel, she was furious. This opportunity was her chance to make aeback, leveraging the Santos Group''s resources, and even climb back to the top. She hadn''t anticipated that Louis would undermine her from behind!


    Without the Santos Group''s help, she couldn''t afford to buy trending searches, which infuriated her even more. She stormed over to confront Louis!


    "Miss Santos, you cannot-" Ignoring her secretary''s attempt to stop her, Angel barged in. Louis looked up at her sternly and signaled the secretary to leave.


    He scolded, "You''ve gone too far!"


    Angel did not care. "Why are you helping Valerie? This is my best chance for aeback. Why are you preventing them from helping me? You''re my brother!"


    Louis responded calmly, "Why are


    you making aeback? Angel, look at your current state. Just marry into the Grant family and settle down. Don''t show up again: You have no acting skills and a good attitude. You''re just clinging to an imagined romance with Matthew to hype yourself up."


    He added, "Matthew remembers what you''ve done. Do you want to drag the Santos family down with you? Not making aeback is better for everyone!"


    Angel sneered. "Are you really my brother? Look at my injuries. Fred beat me, and you''re not only unsympathetic but also want to ruin my career!" She continued, "All I want is to work, but you''re worried about Valerie and hindered me! We share the same mother. Why treat me this way? Valerie isn''t a good woman. She seduced Matthew and made you favor her. Why?"


    "It''s because she''s worthy." Louis''s


    words made Angelugh bitterly. She said, "Louis, do you have feelings for her? She''s already married with a child! If you liked her, you should have acted earliert You''re suppressing your own sister for a married woman!" Content, belongs to NovelDrama.Org


    Angel was incredulous that her own brother could have feelings for that woman.


    Louis gazed at her silently before saying, "I''m willing to protect her secretly. As for you, don''t even think about it."


    Angel coldlyughed. Her brother was her own flesh and blood, and the Santos Group was their family business, yet they both chose to protect Valerie. She couldn''t understand why everyone defended Valerie so fiercely.


    As a member of the Santos family, she felt utterly humiliated facing Louis. She clenched her fists,ughing maniacally.


    She eximed, "Alright! Fine! You win, but you won''t have an easy time! If I can''t achieve what I want, I''ll spare no effort!"


    Louis knew Angel would use any means necessary. He coldly replied, "If you proceed with this, I can only say you''re digging your own grave. The Santos family won''t protect you, and Fred won''t protect you either. Matthew will never let you off!"


    He added, "If you don''t believe it, try it. Don''t expect us to protect you then. It will never happen! Last time, Fred took the hit for you. If you''re exposed this time for hiring inte trolls to create hype, who wilbhelp you clear your name?"
