Compared to Tim's situation, Eric was even more concerned about Edgar. He knew about how Edgar had been

drugged and tortured in the basement by Sylvia.

“Boss, it's only been a few days since | last saw you, and you've been so badly abused. How about we go back?

Let’s not endure this kind of treatment in Fangcheng anymore.”

Eric helped Edgar back onto the bed, and the look of cruelty gradually faded from his pale face. “Alright, then

you stay in Frant City and helpwin back my wife. Ill go back.”

Ees “es”

Miss Sylvia was definitely not an easy woman to provoke. She had a fiery temper, a fierce personality,

and a heavy hand.

He couldn't handle it!

Eric remained silent for a moment, then laughed obsequiously, “Boss, take your tto pursue her. Let's talk

when you're tired. No rush, no rush.”

“Mmm.”

Edgar's face returned to its usual cold and stern expression as his black eyes narrowed slightly. “As for Tim, |

don’t care what methods you use, make him spill everything. You know how to deal with this

treacherous scum!”

“Yes, Boss, rest assured.”

After Eric finished communicating with him, he pressed the call button on the bedside, asking the nurse to come

in and reinsert the IV drip for Edgar.

This time, Edgar did not refuse.

He was simply unhappy waking up without seeing Sylvia, so he used the excuse of not taking the injection. But

since Sylvia had made it clear, he would listen to her and obediently focus on recovering.

Due to his good looks and skills, Tim was well-liked by the gang leader in Frant City’s Men's Prison.

Compared to Nancy's situation, he had a relatively good texcept for the difficulty during evenings and

shower time. The rest of the time, he was fine, at least not starving, sleeping in the toilet, or being beaten

up.

However, what he didn’t know was that his peaceful and comfortable days were about to cto an

end...

The exclusive talent show “Butterfly Girl Team” organized by Angle Company was finally approaching its

end.

In the final recording, Sylvia chose a relatively innovative approach. In addition to inviting a thousand lucky

audience members to experience the girls’ wonderful performances in an immersive venue and holding two

tickets for support, she also used live online broadcasting to allow viewers nationwide to watch the final

selection and participate in supporting the girls.

There were only ten minutes left before the start of the final selection program.

Sylvia was a bit nervous backstage. It was her first tindependently completing such a talent show variety

program. If she could successfully accomplish it, Angle’s stock market value would increase by at least three

points.

The program officially began, and after the host finished the opening remarks, the twenty remaining girls

entered the stage one by one, receiving continuous cheers from the audience.

Then, the host announced the heavyweight guest for the evening, “Let's welcthe rising star, Tom

Walker!”

The girls who were fans of Tom exploded with excitement, and the trainee girls on stage also became

excited.

Amidst the cheers, Tom made a grand entrance. With his handsand sunny appearance, he immediately

becthe focus of attention.

However, everyone noticed that he did not go to the highest seat on the special mentor’s podium.

Could it be that there was someone more prominent than Tom?

Amidst the audience's surprise and curiosity, the host announced the next heavyweight guest.

Patric Smith.

This man, who had caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, may not be a popular celebrity, but he was

a mysterious presence even hotter than a film emperor.

As he appeared, more than half of the audience stood up in applause and cheers, displaying a warmer

welcthan Tom.

Yet, even Patric did not sit in the middle seat of the mentor’s podium. Many people in the audience began to

speculate about who the middle seat, the most prestigious position, was reserved for.

Sylvia focused on the backstage screen, watching this scene intently. She also glanced at the number of online

viewers, realizing that the entrances of these two heavyweight guests created a tremendous buzz, causing the

number of viewers to skyrocket

She smiled with satisfaction.

Indeed, when you have such a stunningly handsman by your side, you should make good use of him.

Otherwise, it would be such a waste.

Since it was the final selection, each of the twenty girls had a chance to showcase their talents before the official

performance.

Soon, it was Abigail's turn.

Due to the recent bullying incident, her vocal cords were slightly affected, so she chose to showcase a dance

performance.

As the music started, she quickly got into the rhythm and presented a self-choreographed dance that blended

modern and classical styles, receiving a considerable applause from the audience.

Patric was also surprised to notice this girl. Although her features weren't the stunning type at first glance, she

had a pure and lovely charm that gave people a sense of authenticity. Moreover, she had good skills, and her

future in the entertainment industry would be promising

He flipped through the dossier he had about this girl and found out that Sylvia had already signed her to Angle.

He smiled with delight, didn’t say anything, and continued watching the competition.

After an intense competition that lasted for an hour, it was tto announce the final vote counts.

Abigail made a stunning comeback with over nine hundred votes, leaping from the original fifteenth place and

securing a spot for debut at the sixth position.

At the end of the program, the host returned to the stage and said, “...Now, let us invite the behind-the-scenes

boss of Angle to give the closing speech!”

Everyone looked towards Patric, but he remained unmoved, without any intention of going on stage.

Wasn't he the current president and boss of Angle?

Just as the audience was puzzled, the host smiled and announced, “With applause, let's welcMiss Sylvia

Smith!”

Spotlights converged at the end of the red carpet as Sylvia walked out from backstage. The deep red evening

gown accentuated her fair skin, and her whole aura exuded elegance and nobility like a queen.

The crowd looked at her in shock, and srecognized her.

“Isn’t this the woman who confronted the second Miss Mellis during the press conference?”

“Wow, she looks so beautiful and glamorous. No wonder she had the courage to confront the Mellis family back

then. Turns out she’s a wealthy woman herself!”

“There were rumors before that she was a discarded wife from a wealthy family, but it seems those

rumors were false. A wealthy woman wouldn't be afraid of divorce. The next one will be even more

obedient!”

“What a revelation! | only knew that she danced incredibly in the lover's performance. | beg her to debut

on the spot!”

“Sister is so amazing! Not only does she dance well, but she’s also the boss of Angle! Ahhh!”

The crowd erupted in excitement and discussion. Even Patric willingly played a supporting role, leaving

the main seat of the mentor to her. This girl must be extraordinary.

Most of the girls who had secured their debut positions were not familiar with Sylvia, except for Abigail, whose

expression was the most astonished among all the girls.

Sylvia turned out to be the boss of Angle?

Oh my, was she the domineering female CEO that only appeared in ?

She had embraced such a beautiful golden opportunity, yet seems completely unaware of it!

Under the gaze of everyone, Sylvia confidently walked up to the stage, took the microphone handed to her by

the host, and smiled faintly.

“Hello, everyone. | am Sylvia, the behind-the-scenes boss of Angle...”
