    —


    The Ivans‘pany was doing incredibly well, not just in real estate development but in various


    lines of business. In short, they ventured into any industry that promised profits something other


    companies could hardly sustain,


    But the Ivans had both the power and money. Whatever industry they desired to dabble in was a


    matter of their fancy, owning not one but two mediapanies in the entertainment industry.


    Typically, matters rted to these subsidiaries wouldn’t reach the headquarters, but early one


    morning, Juliette came to Sylvia with issues from bothpanies in hand.


    “These things are naturally handled by those below. Why bring it to me? I have enough


    responsibilities. If I have to deal with every little problem from the subsidiaries, I’ll work myself to


    death,” Sylviained.


    While these mediapanies fell under their corporate umbre, they weren’t Sylvia’s strong suit,


    so they had dedicated individuals managing them. There was no need for Sylvia to take on


    these issues.


    Juliette understood this as well but wouldn’t havee to Sylvia if it weren’t a special situation.


    Sitting seriously before Sylvia, she said, “You must have forgotten, there’s someone in thepany


    who’s always been against you, right? These issues were dug up intentionally by them, and the


    people below can’t handle it, so they’vee to you. And you know, the subsidiaries‘ earnings are


    substantial, albeit notparable to headquarters.”


    Now Sylvia understood. Someone was deliberately creating trouble for her by cing these


    documents on her desk. After carefully reviewing them, Sylvia couldn’t help butugh.


    “What, is this some kind of joke? Just because two brand ambassadors left? Just find two new


    ones, and it’s solved. Does such a trivial matter really warrant my attention?”


    Juliette had had the same initial reaction as Sylvia. Losing two brand ambassadors didn’t seem like


    a big deal; thepany could find recements. But after digging deeper, Juliette found that for


    some reason, theirpanies were being cklisted within the industry. Apart from their signed


    artists, almost no one was willing to work with them.


    This had never happened before, and Sylvia was stunned. “Someone must be targeting us


    specifically


    then.”


    “Absolutely. And I’ve looked into it – the instigator is a major yer in the film and television


    industry. For them, taking aim at us like this is easy.”


    They were established giants, their connections unparalleled by Sylvia and Juliette’s subsidiaries.


    Juliette couldn’t fathom what theirpanies had done to warrant being cklisted. Sylvia thought


    for a moment and then suggested, “Luke, my brother’s assistant, could easily handle this if we call


    him over.”


    Juliette’s mouth twitched in disbelief. “Are you joking? Luke is your brother’s right–hand man, and if


    I’m not mistaken, he’s helped resolve untold issues. You really think your brother would be happy to


    send Luke over to assist you?“,


    Sylvia pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “I don’t know, that’s why you should go talk


    to


    him. He certainly wouldn’t agree if I asked.


    “What are you thinking? Your brother would refuse even if I asked!”


    Juliette wasn’t keen on getting involved in this thankless task, fearing it could backfire on her. But


    Sylvia said nothing, merely waiting and watching Juliette in silence until the office phone suddenly


    rang, Interrupting then standoff


    After hanging up, fiylvin donned her jacket and announced, ‘Let’s go to the subsidiary and see


    what’s going on,” beckoning Juliette to follow.


    As they reached the lobby, they saw Luke waiting with a car. Now it made sense why Sylvia had


    reacted no oddly Luke had been preparing to join them.


    “You’re saying your brother actually agreed to let Lukee over to help with this?” Juliette


    whispered.


    “Of course. If he doesn’t handle this for me, who will?”


    To Sylvia, it made no difference; eventually, she would lead thepany, and perhaps her brother


    would still need to be involved. If in the meantime Luke could assist, all the better.

    Formalities exchanged, Luke drove them to the subsidiary, where everyone was stressed about the


    uing magazine cover shoot. The contracted artist had backed out at thest minute, leaving


    them. scrambling for a suitable recement.


    En route, Sylvia was briefed on the situation. The uing cover shoot was to be conducted by a


    renowned photographer, which was supposed to be a key selling point. However, their rivals had


    exploited this, and their intended cover artist pulled out as a result.
