Chapter 576
Many young actresses under her command had an affair with Hudson, relying on their bodies to obtain
resources.
She turned a blind eye. It was all part of the game. After all, who in the glittering world of showbiz didn’t
claw their way to the top? Everyone was gunning for the juiciest roles, the fattest contracts.
But Hudson was playing with fire, making moves on Allison without knowing who was backing her.
Inside the walls of Epic Entertainment, only Patty and Mr. Landry knew about Lucian’s role in Allison’s
life. Kenneth and Hudson were in the dark, probably thinking Allison was just another aspiring actress
ripe for the picking.
Patty saw an opportunity to teach both Hudson and Allison a lesson. Without her protection, Allison
would be bullied, and it could give Hudson a fatal blow at the same time. In terms of seniority, Hudson
might have had an edge, but when it came to skill, Patty didn’t acknowledge his lead. It was high time
Hudson vacated his seat as vice president in favor of her.
She pulled out her private cell and dialed a number. “It’s me, Patty.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Patty? I’d recognize your voice anywhere. What’s up?”
“You got the footage?” Patty asked.
There was a chuckle on the other end. “Of course. I’ll send it your way tomorrow. But don’t forget what
you promised...”
“How could I? I’ve already wired you $8 million as a show of good faith. Once I’m VP of Epic
Entertainment, I’ll bump you up to talent agent, managing some of our rising stars. Sound good?”
“Perfect. I’ll hold you to that, Patty. Looking forward to your promotion.”
...
The next morning found Lucian arriving at the Powell Estate. He fished out his keys and unlocked the
door to find Allison still fast asleep. He made his way to the bedroom, quietly observing her peaceful
features — long lashes, delicate skin with a hint of rose, a slight furrow in her brow as if troubled by a
dream.
Her fingers twitched, latching onto Lucian’s hand as he approached. He gently clasped her fingers,
offering a soothing touch. His cool fingertips carried the chill from outside. Allison’s eyes fluttered open.
She had been trapped in a nightmare, sinking in a vast swamp, struggling in vain, when a hand
reached out to save her.
Blinking in disbelief, she saw Lucian. His touch, warm and real, brought her back to the waking world.
“What are you doing here?” she murmured, still half in her dream.
Her eyes, slightly red-rimmed from sleep, met his. “Yeah, I dreamt that a beast was chasing me, and I
was running for my life. Just as I thought I had escaped, I fell into a swamp. I fought so hard but kept
sinking. I was about to go under when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me out.” Coոtent оf
