Chapter 147 Wait Your

Turn Or Leave

'So what?' Amelia raised her voice. 'I'm an A-list actress. She's just some businesswoman. Just go tell Bradley.

I'm sure he'll agree to see me first.'

'I have a standing order, from Mr Gould himself, that Miss McAllister is always to be given priority in meetings with him,' Scarlett said politely.

'What? Why?' Amelia stomped her heels. 'Do you know who I am? I could get you fired with a phone call. I could get this entire company destroyed with a call! Don't try my patience!'

Such grandiose claims!

Darya couldn't help but laugh, and even Scarlett couldn't suppress a chuckle.

Scarlett knew Amelia hailed from Starlight, another giant in showbiz, but Starlight held no superiority over

Eminence.

Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, Bradley Gould pushed open his office door and stepped out. His eyes fell upon the radiant Darya at first glance, and he greeted her with a smile. 'Morning, Darya.'

Then, his gaze shifted to Amelia, and he remarked, 'Miss Langford, a pleasure.'

'Bradley Gould, I need to talk to you,' Amelia declared, striding towards his office with an air of arrogance.

But Bradley Gould intercepted her, offering an apologetic smile. 'I'm sorry, Miss Langford, but I have to meet with Miss McAllister first.'

'Why?' Amelia's eyes widened.

Aware of Amelia's industry status and background, Bradley Gould chose to remain polite. 'Miss Langford, you're not an artist in our company, whereas Miss McAllister practically owns Eminence. She's my boss.'

Besides, the Paragon Group held much more power than the Langford family.

'She owns Eminence?' Amelia snorted in derision. 'Stop pulling my leg. Bradley Gould, I'm here to discuss business with you!"

Bradley had no desire to entertain her further.

He flashed a smile and said, 'Miss Langford, I'm afraid you'll have to wait your turn. Or come back another day.'

He glanced at Scarlett, who got the message and promptly approached Amelia. 'Miss Langford, please follow

me.'

Amelia seethed with frustration but didn't want to lose face in front of Darya.

She shot a glare at Darya and reluctantly followed Scarlett to the waiting area

'Boss, sorry about that.' Bradley Gould led the way into his office and closed the door. Coffeer

'No, thanks.' Darya sat down in the visitor's chair. 'Glen already told you I planned to buy over Starlight"

'Yup.'

'I got a call from him on the drive here. It's almost done!

Bradley whistled. 'He works fast,'

'He does. Which is why he earns a six-figure salary. The announcement will be made this coming week. 1

suggest you get ready."

'Ready for what?"

Darya rolled her eyes. 'Stop pretending. You know I want you to be Starlight's new CEO.

'What about its current CEO?'

'He can either work under you or take early retirement, it's his choice.'

Bradley tried but failed to hide a wide grin spreading across his handsome face. 'I

see.'

'You'll be basically doing the same thing,' Darya said. 'Only, instead of supervising six thousand workers, you'll have double that number on the new payroll. But I have faith you can handle it.'

'Do I get a raise?' Bradley rubbed his palms in gleeful anticipation.

"Your current base salary will be doubled, plus a ten per cent stake in Starlight if

its share price rises by more than 15% by the end of the year.'

"That will do. That will do very nicely, indeed.' Bradley chuckled.

The two delved into the specifics of the arrangement, including potential layoffs.

'By the way, how's Oliver doing?' Darya asked.

Oliver signed on with Eminence when he made his acting debut.

'He's fine, but his team is anxious,' Bradley said. 'I got a call from his manager earlier. He tried reaching out to Starlight's PR, asked them to take down the post with Oliver's name in it. But they claimed the post had nothing to do with them.'

'Don't worry, though,' he added in a hurry. 'Now that Starlight will soon be owned by us, it shouldn't be a problem anymore."

Darya nodded. 'That's good. Oliver got dragged into this mess because of me. See if you can find a w it up to him.'

'There's an audition for a sci-fi movie next week. I'll make sure he gets invited.'

'Good.'

'So, is there any truth to that post?' Bradley asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. 'Is Oliver your type?'

Darya rolled her eyes. 'You run an entertainment company, not a tabloid paper.'

'I'm just curious.' Bradley shrugged.

As Darya departed, Amelia was still cooling her heels in the waiting area.

Little did she know, her pride was about to take a massive blow.

Just as Scarlett was about to show her into Bradley's office, Amelia's phone rang

'Amelia, bad news!' Maximilian Rossi, her manager, sounded in a panic.

'Max, what's going on?' Amelia's already sour mood made her tone aggressive.

'Starlight's just been acquired!'

'What?' Amelia almost screamed in shock. 'When did this happen? By whom?' Darya's face instantly flashed through her mind.

Amelia never expected that her beloved company would fall under Darya's control.

If that were true,

would have to bow down to that woman from now on.

'It's the Paragon Group,' Max said, confirming her worst fear. 'They offered a price

the shareholders simply couldn't turn dow

Amelia clutched her phone, stunned into silence.

'And, um, there's something else,' Max continued. 'Someone has exposed your gambling habits online.'

Amelia was so shaken that she stumbled, nearly falling.noveldrama

She did enjoy gambling, always taking great care to conceal her identity, afraid of being recognised.

If she was unlucky enough to be captured on camera, she and her team would spare no expense to eliminate

the evidence.

How could her secret be exposed now?

Was it Darya's doing again?

Amelia couldn't believe how quickly Darya struck back.

She not only targeted Starlight, but she also exposed Amelia's gambling habits

online.

And to make matters worse, she had even hired someone to reveal the truth

about Amelia's attempt to tarnish Darya's reputation by involving Oliver.

Now, Amelia's scandal had overshadowed Darya's, becoming the hottest topic on the internet.

People were mocking Amelia and unearthing her past, such as her plastic surgeries and high schoo

lying.

It seemed like Amelia's pristine image had crumbled before everyone's eyes.

The comment section on her fan page was filled with chaos as people speculated

about the complicated relationship between Amelia, Micah, and Darya.

They compared Amelia unfavourably to Darya, suggesting that the former couldn't

hold a candle to the latter.
