Chapter: 257
As they sat in the room, Sarah’s mind drifted toward the bet between Ariana and Jasper. Trying to shift
the conversation to a more lucrative topic, she tentatively suggested, “But since I’m not currently tied
down, I can consider accepting some profitable offers for advertisements or variety shows.”
Reading Sarah’s mind like an open book, Ariana flashed a knowing smile and calmly retorted, “Relax.
Instead, channel your energy into perfecting your upcoming album. After all, a few mundane ads and
TV programs won’t resolve our underlying problems, but will only consume precious time.”
Unconvinced, Sarah was unrelenting. “We need to seize every opportunity to make money. Trust me
on this one.”
Ariana was at the mercy of Sarah’s insistence and quickly sifted through the numerous invitations that
had accumulated.

“Have a gander at this, it’s the creme de la creme of opportunities the company has been scrambling
for,” Donna proclaimed.
Ariana accepted the folder with caution. Was it possible that Donna had had an epiphany and was now
being helpful? Or was this folder harboring another one of her devious plans?
As Ariana scanned the contents of the folder, her eyes widened in disbelief. Sarah had been selected
to perform solo at a colossal government-run charity gala!
The top-notch resource in the entertainment industry, coveted by many famous stars, had unexpectedly
fallen into the lap of Sarah’s team.
This national-level charity event was more than just an opportunity to enhance the artists’ reputation.
The chance to participate would catalyze their rise to stardom.
Such a proposal was a treasured opportunity, one that many dreamt of, but only a select few could lay
hands on.
Ariana’s eagerness to secure the highly-coveted spot was palpable as she swiftly replied, “When do we
sign the contract?”
Donna’s eyes gleamed with delight at the prospect of closing the deal. However, before she could even
utter a single word, Sarah cut her off with a dissenting remark. “Sign? I don’t agree.”
Ariana’s confusion intensified when Sarah pulled her aside with an intense gaze, murmuring, “Don’t
accept this one. I won’t go.” ©
“Why?” Ariana inquired, bewildered. This opportunity was a rare gem, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to
shine, and she couldn’t fathom why Sarah would refuse.
Ariana had envisioned celebrating Sarah’s success and raising a toast to their fruitful collaboration, but
Sarah’s behavior was casting a shadow of doubt in her mind.
Sarah cast a furtive glance at Donna to ensure that she wasn’t eavesdropping before beginning to

to attend closed rehearsals and intensive training a month or two in advance to prevent any program
leaks. It means I won’t be able to generate any income for the next three months, and the release of
my album will be pushed back. What about the bet with Jasper? Clearly, this is his plan to make you
lose.” ©
Ariana was well aware of Sarah’s concerns. When she first saw the document, she had already
considered the drawbacks that Sarah mentioned, but the opportunity was so enticing that Ariana
couldn’t bring herself to turn it down.
As an agent, Ariana knew that the best course of action was to prioritize Sarah’s interests. She wasn’t
the kind of person who put her own profits ahead of her artist’s bright future.
Ariana met Sarah’s desperate gaze and flashed a tranquil smile before saying, “I have pondered over
your words. However, this decision is not yours to make alone.
You have to listen to me this time.”
“No, you should think about it again,” Sarah insisted.
