Chapter 599
Donald gave him the side-eye. “I don''t seem to know you.”
“Mr. Campbell, it''s understandable that a busy man like you doesn''t know who I am. Let me
introduce myself. I''m Brody Quantrill, manager from Popr Group. We met during the earlier press
conference.”
Popr Group? A member of the Quantrill family?
Even though the Quantrills kept the lowest profile among the Ten Prestigious Families, they were
one of the most powerful among them.
Previously, Donald heard that members of the Ten Prestigious Families had withdrawn from
Pollerton. It seems that they couldn''t resist the temptation toe back.
Meanwhile, Brody was unperturbed despite being at the receiving end of Donald''s cold shoulder.
He had overheard the earlier exchange and knew that Dragon Fide Corporation, too, was trying to
promote their own starlets through the reality show.
Also, he could see that Donald was clearly unaware of the unwritten rules of the industry.
It was one thing when it came to mediocre programs where the directors at the helm obeyed
Spencer.
However, when it came to famous directors like Myles, anyone who wanted their starlets to
participate in his show had to deal directly with him, for going through Spencer was a fruitless
endeavor.
Holding back his smile, Brody suggested, “Mr. Campbell, are you here to get your starlets a slot in
the program too? You should''ve told me earlier, as Mr. Carling and I have been friends for a long
time. I''m sure he will willingly agree to it on my ount. Why don''t you invite your two starlets along
for supper so that we can evaluate them? If they show promise, I''m confident Mr. Carling would
allow them some airtime on the show.”
Having known each other for a long time, Myles naturally knew what Brody meant by “airtime.”
Truth be told, Myles had nothing against Dragon Fide Corporation. After all, they were the TV
station sponsors, and it made no sense for him to antagonize the party paying his bills.
What bothered him was that Dragon Fide Corporation didn''t seek his permission when trying to get
their starlets into his show.
Therefore, if Donald was able to ept the meeting over supper, he was open to arranging brief
appearances for the former''s starlets.

Faced with Donald''s silence, Brody and Myles didn''t pressure him since they had the initiative and
could do as they pleased.
“Mr. Carling, based on what he said, does it mean that my starlets won''t be able to join your show if
I don''t treat you to supper?”
“That''s correct.” Arms folded, Myles dered haughtily, “Anyone who wants to be part of my show
will have to go through me.”
“All right then. I understand.”
Donald turned around to give Yulia a call and rted everything that had happened to her.
Having assumed that she had made the necessary arrangements, Yulia was surprised that Myles
was making himself an obstacle.
She exined anxiously, “I''m sorry for the mistake, Mr. Campbell. I''ll send someone over to deal
with it right away.”
“It''s fine. I''ll deal with it since I''m here. Can you check with Mr. Duncan if this director named Myles
Carling can be sacked? Otherwise, we''ll just rece Mr. Duncan instead.”
As Donald didn''t bother to keep his voice down, Brody and Myles overheard every word he said.
Donald''s upromising stance took Myles by surprise, as the former''s words were the equivalent
of a publicly dering war with him.
With regard to the suggestion that he and Spencer be fired, Myles felt that it was nothing but big talk
on Donald''s part.
Due to the limited resources of local TV stations, their viewership was no match for that of national
TV stations.
Therefore, Spencer would have to be a fool to remove him, given that his show was the main driver
of Pollerton TV Station''s high ratings.
