But as Eva stepped off the stage, the storm brewing backstage awaited her. Director Rick and the client stormed toward her, their expressions thunderous."Eva!" the client barked, jabbing a finger in her direction. "What the hell were you thinking? A model like you, daring to cause a scene in front of so many people? Have you lost your mind?""You turned this event into your personal press conference!" Director Rick snapped, his voice low but venomous. "Do you realize what you’ve done?"Eva remained calm, her gaze steady as she met their furious stares. Her poise, far from pacifying them, only seemed to infuriate them more."Eva, I’m warning you," the company representative growled, his tone filled with arrogance. "If you still want a career in this industry, you’d better get out there and apologize. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret ever setting foot on this stage."Eva’s soft laughter filled the tense room. Her calm expression, betraying no hint of fear, seemed almost mocking. "The wo

Kai chuckled dryly, a sound that carried no humor. “Explain? I’d think you’d be the one providing explanations, Mr. Carl. Your Director, Rick, has been making moves that directly impact my model and, by extension, my company. Care to tell me why?”Carl’s jaw tightened as he leaned back in his chair. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. If Rick has overstepped, I wasn’t informed. But let me be clear—HB Industry doesn’t tolerate unilateral decisions that jeopardize partnerships.”Kai’s tone hardened. “Then I suggest you rein him in before things escalate further. Eva is under my protection, and I won’t stand by while someone from your company attempts to undermine her.”Carl’s brow furrowed. “Protection? Are you implying Rick’s actions were deliberate?”“I’m not implying anything,” Kai replied coolly. “But Eva’s influence is growing, and there are those who see her as a threat. If HB Industry is looking to make an enemy out of Elite Entertainment, I can assure you it’s a battle yo

Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel and strode out of the office, leaving Carl sitting in silence. The door clicked shut behind her, and he let out a frustrated breath, realizing he had severely underestimated her resolve—and the potential fallout of siding with Director Rick. As Eva entered the elevator, her phone buzzed in her bag. She smirked, already knowing who it was. “Time to get to work,” she murmured, the fire in her eyes blazing brighter than ever. Half an hour later, an authoritative media outlet dropped bombshell recordings. In these clips, HB Industries executive Director Rick, including Christine, could be heard discussing their plans to sabotage Eva’s career, force her into humiliating gigs, and tarnish her image. The recordings left no room for misinterpretation. The final nail in the coffin was Christine’s unmistakable voice giving explicit orders to blacklist Eva and ensure she took the fall for HB Industries’ failures. Social media erupted

Christine sniffled, her voice barely above a whisper. “When Eva left the industry about a few weeks ago for the photoshoot, Director Rick assigned me some of the contracts she was supposed to accept. I didn’t ask for them, Mark. I was just trying to do my job. But when Eva came back, she saw me as a threat. She thinks I took what belonged to her, and now she’s trying to sabotage me. I don’t know how she did it, but she must have dug up something on Director Rick and twisted it to make me look bad. I swear, Mark, I’ve done nothing wrong!”Mark’s jaw clenched as he processed her words. “You’re saying Eva is behind this scandal? That she exposed Rick just to get back at you? Are you absolutely sure this is Eva’s doing?”Christine nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Who else would do something like this? She's the only one who has something to gain from ruining me. I’ve done nothing wrong, Mark. I swear. I’ve tried so hard to avoid conflict with her, but she won’t leave me alone.”Mar

********The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of the Carter mansion, but Laura's mood was anything but sunny. She had spent the night tossing and turning, her mind plagued by the headlines and the scandal involving HB Industries. Though her husband had reassured her that it wasn’t their concern, Laura couldn’t resist reaching out to Christine, her beloved daughter, to check on her.Picking up her phone, Laura dialed Christine’s number. It didn’t take long for the call to connect."Christine, darling," Laura said, her voice dripping with concern. "How are you holding up after all this chaos? I saw the news about HB Industries. It’s a complete disaster!"On the other end of the line, Christine’s voice cracked as she replied, "Mom… it’s awful. I don’t know what to do."Laura’s brows furrowed as she heard the faint sniffles through the phone. "What happened? Tell me everything, sweetheart.""It’s Eva!" Christine exclaimed, her voice trembling as tears began to spill. "This is
