Chapter 504 Backer

Jenny hummed in response, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The tension in the room lightened a bit.

Evelina said, "Go talk to those employees who moved the water dispenser earlier. Spread the word that Violeta

and | had an argument in the lounge today. Let's start a rumor that she's bullying newcomers-consider it my little

welcgift to her." Shania nodded and said, "I understand."

Evelina despised Violeta.

Though Violeta had never wronged her directly, Evelina had long harbored a grudge against her.

The reason was simple. When the popularity of 'The Lies in Winter' was at its peak, Evelina, as the lead actress,

was supposed to be the star of the show. Surprisingly, Violeta swooping in and stealing the spotlight by

promoting Kaylee. As a result, Evelina was overshadowed by the third female lead, Kaylee.

That incident marked the beginning of Evelina's grudge.

She believed that if it weren't for Violeta's interference, she wouldn't have faded into obscurity after that movie.

Evelina had blamed it all on Violeta.

Evelina's goals at Apex Entertainment were clear-anyone in her way had to go.

Not only was Violeta her enemy, but Tracy was also her enemy.

Whether it was the top or the second-best, they all had to move aside for her.

To rise to the top, one must be ruthless-something Evelina knew all too well.

She had finally secured a rare opportunity, stepping on Alaric to do so, and she wasn't about to let it slip away.

As the atmosphere eased, Jenny spoke up, "I heard from Lilian that Tracy only made it big because she latched

onto someone powerful. The rumor is it was a deputy head of channel." Shania added, "Many people in the

industry have benefactors-not just women, but men too. If Tracy can get in with a deputy head, good for her."

Evelina knew what they were implying.

She needed to find a benefactor and someone to back her up.

Evelina had thought about it before and even made sconnections. But a reliable, long-term backer wasn't

straightforward to find. These days, trustworthy ones were difficult to cby. Aster and Violeta left the

company together. They got into a car and headed to a dubbing session.

The month was almost over, and the script was nearly complete.

With a red carpet event early next month, Violeta needed to start her skincare routine beforehand.

As soon as they were in the car, Eugene called Violeta, asking about the incident in the lounge. Aster must have

complained again.

Aster's seemingly silly demeanor should not fool you-she wouldn't hold back when she was wronged. Back when

she first started working with Violeta, Tracy's assistant bullied her, and she immediately told Eugene, who then

stood up for her.

It was kind of cute.

At least when Aster got bullied, she knew to run hand tell the grownups.

"Hello, Eugene. Yeah, are we really giving that lounge to Evelina? Okay, | got it."

Over the phone, Eugene explained that they were moving to the larger lounge upstairs, leaving Evelina's team to

take over the downstairs lounge. Evelina's team had likely known about this in advance, but Eugene hadn't

expected them to boldly cin today and start moving things.

Eugene said on the phone, "That

lounge doesn't have a great view anyway, so it's no big loss. By the way, Beauty, our junior boss is

today his flight's next Friday

coming back. | got the news

be back just in tfor Hyena TV's film festival at the beginning of next month. I'll introduce you two-he's quite

the looker."

Junior boss.

Jasper.

A handsguy.

Violeta laughed and said, "I know him. Jasper Weekley, isn't it?"

Since graduation, Jasper has been in Wiltonshire on his own. It had been several years, and he was finally

coming back.

It was a good thing.

Violeta was looking forward to him coming back and supporting her.

Eugene chuckled and said, "Oh, silly

me. | forgot you went to the sschool, and your families are close Of course, you know each other. That's

even better. He's going to be in charge of the company soon-it'll be simple to get resources through him."

Violeta agreed, "Yeah, it's been a few years since we last met. I've missed him."

Jasper didn't want to cback, but his family had sent people to Wiltonshire several times to persuade him.

It took a lot of effort three separate trips-to finally convince him to return.

After all, Jasper was his father's only son. Considering his age, it was about tfor Jasper to take up the mantle.
