Chapter 2684
A voice came from behind Roland.
The man who slowly approached the group of people attracted everyone’s attention. He had a breathtakingly
handsome mixed-race face, and his temperament felt noble and elegant.
Although he was not from within the industry, everyone knew that he was Nollace Knowles, the prince of Yaramoor,
and his beloved wife was Daisie Vanderbilt from the Goldmanns.
Donny stared at him and was slightly shocked. “Your Highness, you’re in Bassburgh too?”
Nollace nodded. “My cousin happens to be attending this banquet too, so I’ve come over to have a look.” ‘Cousin?’
Only then did the others realize that the female screenwriter they had been talking to looked familiar.
Freyja walked to Nollace’s side. “Why aren’t you accompanying Daisie at home? What brought you here to join in
the fun?”
“No matter what, I’m still one of Tenet’s shareholders. I heard that the agency recruited a newbie and then used
the fame that my wife had accumulated in the past to market her debut. I’ve always thought that it’s part of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagency’s operations, but it turns out that it’s just you using the company’s name to promote a rookie. Am I right,
Mr. Goldwin?”
Roland was stunned.
‘I tried my best to persuade the board into agreeing to recruit Roxy, and coupled with Daisie’s contract, which is
about to expire, I really thought that the two of them would never meet.
‘But I didn’t expect Daisie’s husband, the prince of Yaramoor, to be one of Tenet’s shareholders. It’s no wonder he
didn’t attend the board of directors’ annual meeting and why the board asked me to find another manager for
Roxy, saying that it can’t be Charlie.’
When Roxy learned that the regal man standing in front of her was Daisie’s husband, her expression changed.
She finally understood why Daisie had chosen this man over Zephir.
‘Pfft! It turns out that this man is more powerful and influential than Zephir, and he looks even more outstanding
than Zephir. After all, she could become the princess of a country. Why would she care about the entertainment
industry?’
Roxy gnashed her teeth.
‘Why can’t I be as lucky as Daisie?
‘I’ll let the fact that I’ve been treated as Daisie’s substitute by Zephir slip. The problem is that I have to get myself
involved in an affair with this old man who already has a family. This is infuriating!’
Roland did not dare to say much more as he could not defend Roxy too obviously. If Tenet’s board were to learn
about it, it would definitely leave a great impact on his future on the board.
In the end, he could only apologize to Freyja and leave the banquet with Roxy.
Roxy was unwilling to leave the venue. She immediately got into an argument with Roland as soon as they left the
banquet hall, left him behind, and left by herself.
The banquet did not stop there, and Freyja walked aside with Nollace. “What’s the matter with that artist named
Roxy? Is she exploiting Daisie’s fame?”
“She’s been in the limelight quite frequently nowadays, and the agency’s marketing department has been putting a
lot of effort into hyping her debut by comparing her with Daisie all the time. I was under the impression it was what
Tenet’s business partners wanted, but I didn’t expect Mr. Goldwin to be the one who’s directing all this behind the
scenes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNollace narrowed his eyes.
‘Tenet has many co-investors and shareholders, and the chairman of the board is Mr. Goldwin’s brother-in- law, so
it’s reasonable for the board to show him some respect in this matter.
‘However, in order to persuade the business partners to ask Tenet to promote Roxy and go to the extent of using
Daisie’s reputation to hype her up. It seems that Mr. Goldwin has pushed behind the scenes to pave a path for this
woman.’
Freyja crossed her arms. “When a newcomer makes her debut, if she’s able to do something to make the audience
agree unanimously that she is Daisie’s successor and crown her as Daisie Jr., then that’s a form of recognition.
“However, I haven’t even seen her put out a single play yet. All she has done so far is hype herself up with someone
else’s fame. If the other party hasn’t agreed to that, then it’s surely intentional.”
When thinking that Roxy did not really care about being compared to Daisie, it seemed intentional.
“Daisie doesn’t really care about it, but I won’t let anyone exploit her fame. This woman isn’t as simple as she
seems.”
After some catching up, Nollace bid Freyja goodbye and took his leave first. When he walked to the parking lot,
someone suddenly stopped him.
