Chapter 693


    The offer of $50 per share was simply irresistible Given the current circumstances, the stocks of Ster


    Stage Entertainment being held would soon be worthless paperweights. But if the current


    shareholders sold now, they could still pocket a tidy sum


    Once the first shareholder reached out, others quickly followed.


    Brielle sent a message to Mason, instructing him to get the funds ready. Mason was her most trusted


    ally. never one to question her choices. After all, theirpany had justpleted a multi–billion dor


    funding round. The amount Brielle needed was chump change inparison.


    In less than an hour, all shares of Ster Stage Entertainment were snapped up by an enigmatic buyer,


    giving herplete control of thepany.


    The takeover happened so swiftly that by the time Michael wanted to intervene, it was already toote.


    To call the mysterious buyer an opportunist was a stretch. They had offered a fair price, especially


    considering the stocks were on the brink of copse. The timing was impable, leaving not a single


    shareholder indifferent.


    With this mysterious entity holding absolute control, Dorsey International’s influence over Ster Stage


    Entertainment was now at the mercy of this new owner. Apany wholly owned by one person didn’t


    need to listen to anyone else’s advice.

    Tiffanie watched Brielle’s maneuvers in stunned silence. She didn’t know whether to call her bold or


    meticulous.


    The outside world was in uproar–anyone else would’ve been scrambling to turn the tables by now. But


    not Brielle. Instead, she used this time to secure absolute control over Ster Stage Entertainment.


    Tiffanie watched her calmly making calls, arranging her next moves with a serene confidence in her


    eyes. For a moment, Tiffanie thought she was looking at Maxie.


    If Brielle wasn’t perfect for Maxie, then who was?


    Maxie was the epitome of excellence in Tiffanie’s eyes, beyond words. Brielle was equally outstanding.


    which made their rtionship like a sh of titans, but even titans could have affection for one another.


    Even if they were to fall apart in the future, that would also be borne of affection.


    Once they were together, no one else coulde between them.


    Tiffanie didn’t interrupt Brielle’s strategy session but continued to monitor the news online. She was


    nearly livid with anger. That girl who had kneeled to Brielle had made an ount and was heaping


    thanks on Amelia, iming Amelia had covered her parents‘ medical bills and helped them through


    tough times. She was portraying Amelia as a saintly figure.


    With this as a backdrop, the video circting online made Brielle look monstrous.


    That bitch! Tiffanie wished she could confront Amelia right then and there to give her a piece of her


    mind. She managed to contain her fury and, while Brielle wasn’t looking, sneakily texted Maxie,


    [Brielle’s being dragged through the mud. Aren’t you going to do something, Uncle?]


    [Hmm.]


    Tiffanie stared at the message, unsure if it meant he would intervene or not. Could they have had a


    fight?

    But Brielle was working so hard for that so–called six–month agreement–how could Maxie fight with her


    HOW?


    Tiffanie had to admit she was somewhat bewitched by Brielle’s charm and secretly wished for such a


    woman to be her aunt–inw.


    [She’s mad at me.] Clearly, if he intervened, Brielle might only grow angrier.


    Tittanie had a whole spiel prepared to persuade him, but that message gave her pause.


    People tread carefully because they care.


    The online controversy was explosive, with Brielle’s name stered all over the trending searches. The


    crowd outside Ster Stage Entertainment was growing, and the unruly among them continued to pelt


    the building with stones.


    Thepany had called the police, who were now present, but the angry mob showed no signs of


    dispersing


    Inside, the Ster Stage Entertainment staff was on edge, hoping against hope that Brielle would show


    up–she was their pir, their source of hope. But Brielle was nowhere to be seen, and the executives


    were out of the loop.


    Some of the more timid ones had already started to cry.


    “Why hasn’t Ms. Haywoode yet? I…is she unaware?”


    “Stop crying. Trust her. She’ll have a n,” one tried to reassure.


    “It’s not that I don’t trust her. It’s just that I’m… scared.”


    The group was mostly young artists who had chosen to stay with Ster Stage Entertainment. Now,


    they all shared a bitter taste of fear.


    They were young and unable to hide their worries. A heavy silence fell over them. Ms. Haywood


    wouldn’t abandon them, would she?
