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 <b>Once </b>Upon A <b>Time</b>. 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 <b>industry </b>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, <b>even </b>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 <b>changed </b>into a more alluring dress. By the time the afternoon live broadcast <b>was </b><b>about </b>to <b>start</b>, 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 <b>she </b>would lose her chance.
<b>As </b>everyone around her was busy. Angel quietly slipped <b>out </b><b>of </b>the live broadcast room and <b>went </b>outside. When Rhett arrived by <b>car</b><b>, </b>he was taken aback to see her standing there. “Miss Santos?” he <b>asked</b>, surprised
“Mr. Singleton, you’re here! Come quickly; everyone <b>is </b>waiting for you!” Angel said with a smile, leading him upstairs.
Rhett chuckled at the sight. “<b>Why </b>are you personally greeting guests today? That’s quite unusual. Has Star Xarous Group nin out of security guards?”
“Mr. Singleton, you have such a way with words. I <b>had </b>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 <b>and </b>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 <b>his </b><b>arm</b>. “Mr. Singleton, when will you start casting for the new project you mentionedst time! You know, I happen to have some avabilitytely,
Rhett, hearing this, was reluctant to waste words <b>and </b>chuckled, saying. “It’s still early days; everything <b>is </b>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. <b>Angel </b>had heard that Rhett’s new script was finalized<b>, </b>and casting was imminent. Valerie’s sudden appearance today, likely to <b>discuss </b><b>a </b>coboration, reinforced her suspicions.
Angel took a <b>deep </b>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, <b>was </b>taken <b>aback </b>when Angel entered <b>and </b>closed the <b>door </b><b>behind </b>her. “Why did you close the <b>door</b><b>? </b>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!Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Rheir 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 <b>table</b>. Without suspicion, Rhett followed Angel in.
Angel thought cleverly. Although the studio felt dangerous, today, its only <b>use </b>was for her interview. As long as <b>she </b>didn’t show up, the interview couldn’t <b>start</b>, 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 Rheit 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 criticism from viewers.
People inside the <b>live </b>studio <b>began </b>to flood in, franticallymenting

I heard Angel Santos was supposed to be here today. It is her first livestream after the controversy. I want to see herl
Is she still not here! There’s only five minutes left!
<b>Outside</b>, the staff were making frantic <b>calls </b>and searching for people. I just <b>saw </b>Angel at the door a moment ago. How could she suddenly disappear?”
