Chapter 229


    Crestwood CBD Business Center, Starlight Media.


    At artists‘ lounge, on the seventh floor.


    “Isabe, Isabe, something, something big happened!”


    Wendy barged in from outside, breathless and flustered. Isabe frowned; she was clearly annoyed,


    and put down her script.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What’s got you all panicked? You made me forget the lines I’ve just memorized. Is it that bitch Olivia


    stirring up trouble with another press release to trash me?”


    “No, no, it’s not that.”


    Wendy gasped for air, shaking her head as she bent over, speaking in bursts, “Xanthea’s starring in


    Realm of Illusions, and it’s set to premiere this Saturday on Tomato TV, at 8 PM, day after tomorrow!”


    “What!”


    Isabe put down her script in shock, “How can it be so soon? They haven’t even finished shooting!


    Was it be that the production team rushed the project, afraid that no one would pick it up if they dy?


    They must be leveraging Xanthea’s poprity to air it early!”


    She muttered to herself, but hardly believed her own spection.


    Realm of Illusions was the only S+ grade blockbuster from theirpany this year, and it was directed


    by Kevin. From production, screeny, to art and costumes, top professionals in the industry were


    involved. Even after the project was transferred to Oli–hea Media, the personnel remained unchanged.


    Moreover, the president of Oli hea Media was Xanthea’s uncle, which secured Realm of Illusions


    received extra attention. Otherwise, the series would not be in the prime time slot on Tomato TV.


    Last year, only one of her two dramas barely made it onto Tomato TV, yet Xanthea’s debut drama


    made it. It seemed she was truly determined to surpass her.


    When Isabe had epted the wager, she had ridiculed Xanthea for being overconfident. Now, she


    felt uneasy.


    Her current project, Corner with Love, was only halfway done, and it was recently overshadowed by the


    infamous Olivia, who relentlessly spread negative publicity. And with Xanthea always exceeding


    expectations, there was a real risk she might be a sensation after her series aired!


    “It shouldn’t be.”


    Wendy shook her head, whispering, “Isabe, from reliable sources, Xanthea is on the guest list for the


    next episode of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night.”


    “Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night?!“.


    3 X 25 E


    Now, Isabepletely panicked, “Where did you hear that? Isn’t that show only inviting the top


    celebrities of the industry? Why would they invite a rookie like her?”


    Since the live broadcast of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night, it had consistently topped the charts,


    with viewership surpassing most hit dramas. The guests invited were usually the most popr actors


    and actresses of the moment.


    “It’s not just a rumor; it’s been an open news inside thepany. Apparently, a staff member from the


    broadcasting authority who reviewed Realm of Illusions leaked that it is a once–in–a–decade hit series.


    They believe Xanthea will be the next phenomenal actress in the industry. Upon receiving the


    news, the production team wanted to have Xanthea on their next episode, so that the show would


    coincide with the broadcast of Realm of Illusions, killing birds with one stone!”


    “No, they can’t do that!”


    two E


    Isabe threw her script aside, pacing around the lounge in distress. Realm of Illusions was already


    enough to worry about. If Xanthea appeared on Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night as well, with her


    charm and ability to attract attention, she could potentially gain a massive following. That would mean


    losing the bet for sure!


    “Wendy, contact Jason. I must be on the next episode of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night,


    whatever
