Chapter 1119
Chloe got back to the office, but Herschel’s face was all she could think about. Why the hell was he
avoiding her when he was clearly looking for her? Why was he acting so weird?
Work had her running around like a headless chicken, so she didn’t have time to figure this mess
out.
Herschel said he’d hole up at The Watson Hotel, so she could catch him there after work. Shouldn’t
be toote.
Katie and Miles killed it at the Paris Fashion Week. The dazzling outfits on the final day and Miles‘
killer makeup skills had the Starlight International talents turning heads all over.
The media couldn’t get enough of them. The n was to ride Winston’s superstar wave, but now it
seemed like Winston was the one riding their coattails. Looking at Winston’s stony face on the
magazine cover, Chloe chuckled bitterly. His ego must’ve taken a hit. He was definitely gonna give
her a hard time when he came back
She then had the Public Rtions Department announce tomorrow’s celebration at The Watson
Hotel. Starlight International’s reputation was skyrocketing, bing the dark horse everyone in
the entertainment and fashion industry was talking about.
Meanwhile, over at Infinity Media, things were gloomy as hell. Beverly and Jacob didn’t exactly
shine at the fashion week, but they didn’t screw up either. They were just overshadowed by
Starlight International’s glowing sess.
The overseas media didn’t give them the time of day, and back home, if it weren’t for Beverly
snatching Jete’s endorsement, they’d probably be totally ignored.
Right now, Infinity Media was obviously riding Starlight International’s wave. And this wave was
something neither Infinity Media nor RM wanted. They’d be theughingstock instead.
Adding to the misery was yesterday’s sudden drama at Austin’s Hardware. Melinda from Infinity
Media was now stuck between a rock and a hard ce. Compared to Starlight International, the
mood at Infinity Media was rotten.
Especially when they heard Starlight International was throwing a celebration at The Watson Hotel,
the staff at Infinity Media must’ve been squirming. That ce was one of the rarest seven–star
hotels in the world!
A celebration at a seven–star hotel? Damn, that was some envy–inducing stuff. Made some of them
want to jump ship, didn’t it?

overshadowed by the media, she was about to explode. And the people in the office? They were
giving her a headache.
Early in the morning, Melinda stormed into the office.
“Tell me, do you have some personal beef with Chloe?” Melinda demanded, leaning on the desk,
ring at Wendy.
Wendy looked annoyed and indifferent. “Who the hell told you to talk to me like that?”
“Answer me!” Melinda pped the desk. She wasn’t scared of Wendy’s icy stare, her voice growing
louder instead.
Wendy stayed silent, which only pissed Melinda off more.
“You started stealing all the gigs and endorsements from Starlight International. Then you sent
Beverly to snatch Jete’s endorsement! Yesterday, you egged me on to go pick a fight with
Chloe at Starlight International! Wendy, are you insane? Using people’s lives as pawns in your
feud!”
Wendy’s eyebrows twitched. No one had ever used her like this before. She didn’t understand
why Melinda got to treating her like this! Wendy stood up, ring at Melinda, “I’m your boss now,
and your fate is in my hands! Do you think you’re still that arrogant and rude rich kid? That everyone
has to put up with you?!”
Melinda’s eyes flickered. Her family’s assets were frozen, leaving her penniless. She only had the
money she earned in the entertainment circle over the years, but she had always been a
spendthrift, saving hardly anything.
There was no chance for Austin to turn things around, not after crossing the Harper Group. And
relying on her father was out of the question. Even though she saw the entertainment circle as a
game before, now, she had to treat it as a job.
Melinda’s fury was dying down. Wendy sneered, “I told you before, keep a low profile in this
industry! Stop pissing people off! Now Huh, Chloe was right, everyone wants to kick you when
you’re down!”
Melinda’s face changed. Sheughed coldly, “So you still want me to go after Chloe? Wendy, are all
thepany’s talents just your tools to fight Chloe? Do you really think you can beat her? She stole
the show at fashion week, didn’t she? Even if you ignore her position as the president of Starlight
International, just as Mrs. Harper, she could crush you! Are you still thinking aboutpeting with
her?!”
Wendy’s face suddenly went cold, “What about Mrs. Harper? She’s just Damon’s fiancée after all!”
Melinda froze for a moment, then burst intoughter, “I knew it… you really do know about Chloe’s
ties with the big boss of the Harper Group! Wendy, you are such… a snake!”
Wendy’s neck veins bulged in anger. She roared, “Get out!”
Melindaeered at her, eyes full of mockery, “Wendy… Are you really going head–to–head with
Chloe because you want to snag the CEO of the Harper Group for yourself? Dream on. You can’t
hold a candle to Chloe in terms ofpetence, and even in looks, she’s not less than you! Most
importantly, they’re thick as thieves right now. Are you… trying to wedge yourself in?”
Wendy’s face turned red, seething with anger, “I don’t even need to wait for Chloe to take you
down. I can make you disappear from the public eye myself!”
Melinda straightened up slowly, eyes full of defiance, “You better y nice with me, or else, I’ll spill
the beans about your real reasons for fighting Chloe. You, the high and mighty Wendy, actually
have the hots for someone else’s man and use your own artists to target her, treating them like
pawns in a game of love! If you ever manage to take down Chloe, do you think the CEO of the
Harper Group will give you the time of day?”
