Chapter 574Chapter 574
Emma seemed to realize it. She looked a little shocked. “Allison, you don’t think Patty would do that, do
you?”
“She’s after power. She’s smart, surely, but sometimes she’s too smart for her own good.”
Emma nodded earnestly. “Allison, I swear I won’t betray you. You brought me up in this circle from
scratch. No matter what happens, I’m on your side.”
“Allison.” Emma’s eyes gleamed with determination as she clenched her fists. “I am ready to stand by
you for life, to be your agent.”
Allison smiled slightly. “Speaking of which, I’ve got some fishfingers in the fridge. I’ll fry some up. We’ve
barely eaten tonight, and Hudson gave us a headache. But let’s focus on our next move.”
Emma chimed in, “Let me do it. Forget the fishfingers. I’ll whip up some peste for you. Let you try my
cooking skills.”
Fifteen minutes later.
Allison and Emme sat at the dining table. There were two steaming plates of pasta between them. This
was simple, but the flavors were spot-on. Allison took a bite and complimented, “Em, your pasta is so
delicious. Some guy’s gonna be so lucky one day.”
Emma blushed. “That lucky guy is still nowhere to be seen.”
“Emma, the road ahead might get tough. Are you with me?”
“Absolutely. Even if you leave Epic Entertainment, I’d follow you to any company.”“I’m not that foolish, and neither should you be. Breaking contract isn’t a joke.”
“So, what’s our next move?” Emma asked. Her big eyes were filled with a mix of determination and
curiosity. “The press conference in three days. Are you really going to release Penelope’s video?”
Allison knew the stakes; she was just bluffing when she told Grace she’d release it. “Do you know any
hotshot video editors who can work magic?*
“…” Emma hesitated, not really knowing anyone, but she was willing to find someone. “TII figure
something out.”
“Good”
Allison confessed, “I’m not sure either. It’s just me against Penelope right now.”
She had told Grace she’d release the video in a moment of anger. Of course, she wanted to release it,
but in three days? it might not be the right time.
“Where’s Robbie now?”
“At the Blue Club,” Emma responded immediately. “The owner’s keeping an eye on Robbie. No trouble
there, and he’s off the radar for now.”
Emma continued, “The other guy in the video is Tanner. I’m worried if they can’t get to Robbie, they
might try Tanner. What if they bribe him?”
“Tanner’s an only child of the Ramsel family, and they’re famous in the fashion industry, way bigger
than the Flanagans. Mrs. Ramsel is a force to be reckoned with. With Tanner as her only son,
Penelope won’t get far with the Ramsels.”Allison’s thoughts drifted back to high school, when she’d just returned home, sneaking through the
novelbinFlanagans’ side entrance.
