During this, she kept demanding that I not be allowed in either. Since Dad could not secure her a job, he vented his frustration on me, insisting I resign. I refused to do s, and be accused me of being unfilial and that resulted in the slap"

As Prard listened to Lindsay's recount of the incident, her visage turned exceedingly cold. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk curled at the corner of her lips. She collly commented, saying, "Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather. He cannot manage his own wife, yet he bullies his own daughter. What an achievement."

Lindsay had never witnessed Pearl wearing such a chilling expression, and it sent shivers down her spine.

Mason swiftly comprehended the situation. Whenever Pearl assumed this expression, soncone was in deep trouble.

"Where is Errol now? Pearl inquired.

Mason promptly responded, "He's at Woolery Starry Melia"

Pearl immediately took Lindsay's hand and declared, "Let us go there. It's time to see what your esteemed father is up to

Errol held a seemingly inconspicuous role within Woolery Group, but has influence was far from trivial.

Chapter 103

The rationale behind Henry's decision to remain at Woolery Starry Media remained an enigma in the entertainment industry, prompting numerous speculations from insiders online.

A commenter wrote, "Do you understand the situation? Henry is a man of profound integrity who believes in reciprocating kindness. Rebecca, the CEO who founded Woolery Starry Media, and the late Mrs. Woolery extended their favor to him. He stayed with the company to honor their benevolence. He was nurtured within Woolery Starry Media and is determined to remain loyal to this organization."

Another netizen replied. "Ive heard this tale. When Henry commenced his career, it was Ms. Rebecca who introduced him to the media. Even during his shoots, Ms. Rebecca stood by his side. Many asserted at the time that she was the true force behind Henry's ascent." A third netizen commented. "That's not plausible. I've been told that the late Mrs. Woolery and Chairman Woolery shared a deep bond. Henry is likely her friend's child, which explains her concern and protection."

Another commenter responded. "I heard from a friend employed at Woolery Starry Media that Henry, although known as the star of Woolery Starry Media, truly serves as a guardian angel for the young artists there. Errol, as you are aware, that aged philanderer has tarnished the lives of numerous young female artists. Were it not for Henry's presence at Woolery Starry Media, they would have been ensnared."

"Errol indeed possesses a sordid reputation. He deserted his lawful spouse and wed a young woman of Asian descent. These scandals circulated widely online. It's rumored that many female artists at Woolery Starry Media could not endure his advances and resorted to tragic ends. These incidents, however, were concealed, but presently, Woolery Starry Media is akin to a den of iniquity, a netizen wrote.

Another netizen said. "The entertainment industry is already chaotic. How many female stars aiming for stardom have emerged unscathed from the clutches of these executives? Donna Palmer, the stunning beauty, initiated her career as an adult actress before becoming an A-list star. She still has to socialize with the power players.

"Alas, the industry is in disarray," a netizen replied.

Accompanied by Lindsay. Pearl strode into Woolery Starry Media. This structure stood independent of Woolery Group and was situated in the southern part of the city. The surrounding environment boasted a tranquil ambiance, featuring a spacious square at the entrance. Once, magnolia trees adorned the pathway, casting a picturesque scene, but now plane trees had supplanted them.

Today's Woolery Starry Media was virtually unrecognizable, all thanks to Pearl's third uncle, Errol.

At this very moment. Errol occupied his genuine leather executive chair, with a lively young female artist nestled in his lap, feigning enthusiasm. He held a fruit in his mouth, poised to offer it to the unwilling artist, who concealed her disgust behind a strained smile. Just as he leaned in for a kiss, the office door rung open forcefully, producing a resounding crash. Errol, startled, let out an exclamation, and the fruit tumbled from his mouth with a loud thud. He demanded in surprise, "Who is the one who dared to intrude on my office?" Initially shouting with fervor, Errol's countenance shifted when he caught sight of Pearl. She entered his office, her expression stern and her demeanor radiating an icy aura.
