Chapter 137
After Aurora said that, the atmosphere backstage immediately got tense.
Karin just came out of the dressing room and heard that sentence.
This usually introverted short-haired girl stood in the eerily quiet backstage and suddenly spoke up,
“Are you trying to get rid of Ms. Lopez?”
All eyes turned to Karin.
Aurora looked at Karin and sneered, “I’m not trying to get rid of her. It’s our investors who are not happy
with Ms. Lopez’s behavior.”
“Investors?” Karin frowned.
“Karin,” Eileen called out softly, “Go get ready for your rehearsal.”
Karin was no longer a member of Eileen’s team.
After advancing, she returned to the four coaches. She was now a peaceful student of a coach who
didn’tpete for anything.
Looking at Eileen, Karin said anxiously, “Ms. Lopez, I…”
“Listen to me.” Eileen cut her off, then looked at Aurora with a sneer, “Last time you used your
connections to kick me out of Traveller 5+1, you want to do it again this time?”
Aurora looked at Eileen arrogantly, “You can say whatever you want.”
Eileen calmly said, “I don’t think you’ll seed this time.”
“Haha…” Auroraughed, “Let’s wait and see then.”
After the rehearsal that night, it was almost one in the morning.
Eileen let the students go rest, and she also returned to the hotel..
In the hotel room, Janice had already heard about the backstage incident. She said to Eileen, “I told
Ophelia about this, and Ophelia told the chairman. The chairman personally called the TV station
director. The director said Aurora did pressure them, but they haven’t given her a clear response yet,
because they haven’t received a call from her sugar daddy.”
Eileen pursed her lips slightly, “Since Aurora dares to provoke me like this, it means that her sugar
daddy’s call wille sooner orter. Who is her sugar daddy?”
Janice checked the memo on her phone and said, “It’s Mr. Chad, the CEO of Echelon Media
Enterprises.”
Eileen frowned, “He’s indeed a big shot.”
Mr. Chad, Eileen had heard this name before.
Hisst name was not clear, but his first name was very well-known.
He was a top dog in the entertainment industry, even someone as powerful as Egbert Reed had to give
him some respect.
Janice was a bit worried, “Eileen, are we really going to be driven away by this wicked Aurora?”
“Who said that?” Eileen sneered.
Late at night, Eileen went to an inte cafe again.
She stayed there for two hours. When she left, her face looked much more rxed.
The next day was the third stage performance day.
Early in the morning, Chad got a call from Bernie in the car.
Chad was usually very busy and had handed over all the affairs of Echelon Media Enterprises to
Bernie.
On the other end of the phone, Bernie sounded very anxious, “Mr. Chad, ourpany’s server has
been attacked. When the staff started working this morning, they found that all theputers had been
infected by a virus. The virus message is a sentence, saying you should check your email.”
Chad was startled, “Email?”
Bernie said, “Yes, do you want to check your email now?”
Chad squinted his eyes and exited the call screen.
He opened the work email of Echelon Media Enterprises.
Sure enough, there was an email in his inbox.
After reading the email, Chad burst intoughter.
Bernie asked in confusion, “What’s up, Mr. Chad?”
Chad said, “Aurora’s opponent found a dozen scandals about her. They said that if Aurora doesn’t quit
the talent show today, they will expose all these scandals.”
Bernie was shocked, “What should we do…”
Chad casually said, “Let them expose it if they want. I thought it was a big deal. I remember that
Aurora’s contract with thepany is almost done. We don’t n to renew it anyway. What does it
matter to me what happens to her then?”
Bernie understood and said, “Yes, I know what to do.”
After hanging up the phone, Chad was about to put the phone back when he got another call.
It was from Aurora.
After hanging up, Chad directly cklisted this number.
After the contract expires, they won’t even have an employment rtionship, so why should he keep
Aurora’s number?
In the backstage lounge of the show, Aurora was getting her makeup done and asked her assistant,
“What’s going on? Haven’t you got through yet? Why is it taking so long?”
The assistant was so anxious that he was sweating, “It keeps saying the line is busy or out of service.”
Aurora frowned, “Might be he’s on a ne.”
Saying that, she turned to the show’s director and said, “He’s too busy with work, often has to travel,
and his phone is often unreachable.”
The director looked embarrassed, “Ms. Aurora, actually Ms. Lopez didn’t do anything wrong…”
“Don’t mention her.” Aurora’s face suddenly turned serious, “I said yesterday, either she leaves today or
I do, you decide.”
The director scratched his head, “Maybe you should try contacting Mr. Chad again. We don’t have the
authority to deal with this. If Mr. Chad can intervene, it would be easier for us to negotiate with the
station’s director…”
Aurora nced at her assistant.
The assistant shook his head, indicating that he still hadn’t got through.
Aurora frowned, “Don’t you trust me? Do you know that if I say a word in front of Mr. Chad, your TV
station will be in trouble…”
“Ms. Aurora!” Out of nowhere, another assistant of Aurora’s dashed over. “Ms. Aurora! Mr. Chad’s
here!”
“What?” Aurora sprung up from her chair, her face lit up with joy. “Mr. Chad’s here? Where?”
“Right outside!”
Aurora hastily hiked up her skirt and hustled out.
Eileen was busy adjusting the contestants’ costumes in therge dressing room when she heard the
excited shouts from outside. “Mr. Chad is here… Aurora’s boyfriend… He’s so handsome, yeah, right
outside.”
Eileen paused, squinting her eyes.
Looks like this Mr. Chad cared more for Aurora than she had thought, even taking the time to show up
in person.
Alright, they all want her out, huh? She could leave. But, if she left, Aurora wouldn’t fare well either.
Did they really think she wouldn’t dare to spill the beans?
She just didn’t want to stir up more trouble while Ableson Lopez’s case was still unresolved.
After all, Echelon Media Enterprises was indeed a big shot.
But if Aurora was so hell-bent on making her miserable, she didn’t mind stepping on toes!
With determination, Eileen continued adjusting the contestants’ costumes with a stern expression.

Suddenly, someone from the side shouted, “Karin, where are you off to?”
Eileen turned to see Karin in her performance outfit, strutting out in heels.
Since Karin’s team had won the second round, they would be the first to perform in the third round.
The show was about to start, where was she going?
Even though Karin was no longer Eileen’s student, she still followed her out of concern.
“Karin?” Eileen called from behind.
Karin stopped and turned to see Eileen. This usually meek girl suddenly dashed over, grabbing Eileen’s
hand. “Ms. Lopez, perfect,e with me.”
Confused, Eileen asked as she was dragged along, “Where are we going? What’s going on?”
Without answering, Karin continued to pull Eileen along with a nk expression.
Chad, under the guise of touring backstage, was looking for Eileen under the guidance of the
prograrn’s director.
But he couldn’t find her. Halfway through the tour, Aurora suddenly approached him.
Chad’s face darkened.
But Aurora was all smiles. After greeting him, she went straight to Chad’s side, gently tugging at his
sleeve, she asked in a low voice, “Why are you here in person?”
Chad frowned, about to pull his hand away, when two people suddenly approached.
Seeing them, Chad froze.
Karin was pale, leading a visibly confused Eileen towards Chad and Aurora.
Seeing Aurora holding onto Chad’s sleeve, Karin’s eyes welled up with tears. She shouted, “Dad, what
are you doing?!”
The word “Dad” stunned everyone present.
The director was dumbstruck.
The surrounding staff were dumbstruck.
Eileen was dumbstruck.
And Aurora… Aurora was paralyzed.
Chad nced at Eileen and began to exin to Karin, “Karin, listen to me…”
“What is there to say!” Karin stamped her foot, pointing at Aurora. “Do you know who this woman is?
She bullied me, and she bullied your sister, she said she
wanted to…”
“Karin!” Chad suddenly stepped forward, muffling his daughter’s words.
“Hmm!” Karin struggled wildly.
Chad coughed, cautiously eyeing Eileen.
Eileen stood there, shocked.
Chad tentatively greeted, “Hello.”
Eileen stared at Mr. Chad, then at Karin whose mouth was being forcefully covered by Mr. Chad.
After a moment of shock, she finally responded, bowing respectfully and greeting, “Hello, Mr. Chad. I’m
a friend of Karin’s, my name is Eileen.”
