Chapter 615 Frosty Is Trending Nolan hesitated for a moment. "Your house? That might be inconvenient." Polly understood Nolan's concern about propriety, so she quickly replied, "Don't overthink it, Nolan. I don't mean anything by it. It's just that we're both public figures and meeting outside isn't exactly ideal. The chess set is at my place, so it's safer if you cover." After considering it, Nolan finally agreed.

Polly excitedly shared the good news with Violeta.

Violeta was excited too.

She was even happier since she'd also scored a rare stamp collection.

The antique chess set at Polly's house was in pristine condition.

There were barely any signs of wear. Since Polly's family had little interest in chess, the set had remained untouched for decades, preserving its excellent condition.

Such a rare piece would be a dream ctrue for someone like Wade, who'd probably be over the moon if he received it as a birthday gift.

It would be a perfect gift for him since his birthday was approaching.

However, Polly, wanting to keep Nolan engaged, didn't agree to sell it right away.

Instead, she vaguely mentioned that her mother wanted to keep it in the family as a cherished heirloom. Nolan would have to continue negotiating with Polly if he wanted to buy the chess set.

The chess set was the bait, and Nolan was the fish.

Polly was patiently reeling him in.

Since Tracy's departure, the company's top resources had noticeably shifted in Violeta's favor, especially with the luxury brand deals.

Winona, being unhappy with this, repeatedly complained to Lance.

However, Lance shut her down with a single remark, "Securing luxury brand deals isn't something the company can control. It all depends on the artist's ability. Do you think we have the power to make these brands invest in an artist they're not interested in?" The implication was clear. Evelina simply wasn't up to the standard of luxury brands.

Winona was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Instead of relying on the company, she could only hope that Evelina's popularity would continue to rise.

Evelina was just one step away from becoming an A-list celebrity.

Violeta, on the other hand, had a unique advantage in the industryz Her social circle was filled with elite, wealthy women, and her first public appearance at a global event had left everyone in awe.

Such an advantage was unparalleled and unlikely to be repeated.

Evelina had once experienced the massive exposure and buzz that cwith being the global first to wear a new design from a luxury brand.

She envied Violeta but knew that not everyone could becVioleta. All she could do was secretly harbor her jealousy.

She had finally managed to push Tracy out of the way, and now she was just waiting for Violeta to fall from grace.

If a scandal took her down, Evelina would no longer have any obstacles in her career path.
