Chapter 2

The entertainment industry was so big. How could Patrick be the only one at the top?

He was just very popular now, but I needed to take a long-term view.

In fact, I had already set my eyes on someone. Coincidentally, that man happened to be Patrick's rival, Reginald Sinclair.

Even though Reginald was a nobody now, he would be very famous in the future. It was a pity that my rival had signed him at that time.

Patrick's fans and Reginald's fans hadn't got along, and they had been arguing about who was the number one male idol in the domestic entertainment industry.

In fact, if Reginald replaced Patrick, it would be really interesting. There would be a lot of controversy, and the ratings would go up.

And as far as I knew, Reginald's private life was clean, and he was only focused on the stage. He was my best choice.

"Jennifer, what do you think of Reginald?"

She took a deep breath and said, "You let a nobody replace Patrick. Aren't you afraid that Patrick's fans will eat you up? Are you willing to sacrifice your life to arrange it like that?"

It didn't matter. Being scolded was better than to lose everything.

So, I decided to postpone the recording for a week. I wanted to take another gamble, thinking, "Reginald, please don't let me down."

Realizing that I was going to breach the contract, all the members of the Hastings Studio couldn't remain calm.

His agent, Kayla Watson, came to me to negotiate.

"Isabella, what do you mean? Didn't we agree on this? You're disrespecting Patrick by breaking the contract."

She came to me now.

But when something happened, they just walked away. Why didn't they respect me?

"I checked the show process, and I think Patrick doesn't quite fit the core of our program, such as he cares too much about his image..."

I hoped Kayla could understand.

But she looked extremely unhappy.

"If you say so, I don't think you can withstand the pressure of public opinion. After all, you know the power of Patrick's fans."

I thought, "Bullshit! Don't try to scare me. How dare you mention fans?

Patrick owes the most to the fans who have followed him for so long."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she rolled her eyes.

"Then I wish your program will become hotter."

No way. Did she still want me to get depressed?

If she knew that I invited Reginald to replace Patrick, would she be so angry that she would die?

I talked harmoniously with Reginald's agent. After all, was there any star who didn't want to be on my variety show?

Whoever was on my show would become famous.

I made mental preparations and sent out the announcement.

Soon after, there were hundreds of thousands of likes and more than a hundred reposts.

I was too sensitive to read the comments, and they were definitely all scolding me.

I was so tired. I took a nap for 15 minutes, and Jennifer woke me up.

"Ms. Johnson, are you so careless? How can you asleep? You're on the trending search!"

I looked at the trending searches, and my name stood out.

There were many hashtags: "Isabella excludes Patrick!", "Isabella argues with Hastings Studio!" and "Isabella and Reginald's relationship exposed!"

It was all bullshit!

How dare I get into a relationship with a younger brother like Reginald?

Did Hastings Studio make all these trending searches?

I read the comments...

[Isabella, don't read it. It's all bad comments.]

[What does Isabella mean? Are you disrespecting Patrick? Didn't you agree that Patrick would participate in the show? Are the official photos still there?]

[Can Isabella give Patrick an apology?]

[Is Reginald Isabella's boyfriend? Why is she supporting him so much?]

[Upstairs, I think what you said makes sense. Isabella is really shameless. She probably failed in seducing Patrick, so she found another guy who was easier to control.]
