    When Natalie chose the stage name “Annika” to release her cover tracks, Gavin was in the loop.


    He had been keen on signing Natalie as one of his talents. With her stunning looks and youthful vibe,


    she could easily make a ssh on a talent show and then branch out into acting. She had the potential


    to be the next big thing.


    But Natalie wasn’t into the idea of living in the limelight.


    So, Gavin had let it be, allowing her to do her own thing.


    Early one morning, Rosie came by with a business card for him. It was from Natalie, asking him to find


    a reliablewyer. Gavin got the message loud and clear.


    Natalie was out to get Madelyn, she was after her.


    Even though Madelyn was one of his artists, Gavin knew he’d got plenty of other singers with looks and


    talent. Without a second thought, he decided to ditch Madelyn.


    At the moment, Madelyn was lying in a hospital bed. Gavin had made a show of concern, sending over


    a card and a bouquet.


    Madelyn hade to, and when she saw him, she struggled to get up, calling him, “Mr.


    James.”


    Gavin nced at her pitifully pale face and hummed an indifferent “Hmm.”


    “Mr. James, it’s not just my fault about the giarism. The music producer is at fault, too. Why am I the


    only one to take the me?” Madelyn whimpered, her eyes brimming with


    tears.


    “Yes, the producer is at fault, and I’ve let him go,” Gavin replied coldly.


    Madelyn wasn’t looking for the producer to get fired. She wanted Gavin’s protection.


    “Mr. James…” Madelyn, usually so proud, hardly gave Gavin a second nce. But she was genuinely


    panicked at the moment.


    Her voice was pleading, her face streaked with tears.


    “If a million isn’t enough, Annika is trying to extort us. We could sue her,” Gavin paused before


    responding.


    “Mr. James, but I…” Madelyn sobbed, struggling to catch her breath.


    “Alright, Lily will take care of this for you. For now, focus on getting some rest here in the hospital,”


    Gavin said as he stood up and left Madelyn to her thoughts.


    Stunned, Madelyn watched Gavin walk out the door. Her heart sank. She had thought his

    visit meant there was a chance for things to turn around, but he was only making a courtesy call! She


    had humbled herself to ask for Gavin’s help! If thepany wouldn’t support her, who would?


    Meanwhile, Lily had called Annika’swyer, hinting at settling for five million off the record.


    Five million? Not even ten times that amount would work! Don’t even think about settling out of court.


    Annika is determined to take this to court!” Thewyer was ruthless in his response, hanging up


    immediately afterward.


    Lily ryed the call back to Madelyn, who looked pitiful. She whispered, “Madelyn, maybe we should


    go to Mr. Howard. He won’t ignore this situation!”


    But Brian was still upset over Natalie’s situation. He hadn’t answered her calls and had Bagot drop her


    off at her apartment instead.


    Would he even listen to her?


    Out of options, Madelyn picked up her phone, dialed Brian’s number, and waited. After a few seconds,


    the call connected.


    On the other end was Natalie’s cold voice. “He’s in a meeting.”
