Yolanda woke up feeling refreshed, but she knew she had to deal with Eric's situation right away.
She still couldn't show her face at Starlight Entertainment today, since everyone online was fired up and
anxiously waiting for the police department to release their official statement.
An hour later, the first official statement was released.
It described a whole string of moves Yolanda pulled off after she took charge-from shoving Leon Cole out for all
his scandals, to booting Tony Sutton, who was notorious for coercing talent. The new contract she had drafted,
featuring a tiered revenue-sharing system, was also revealed. Back then, she didn’t have enough authority to
get it past Alex Wilson, but it was officially documented on the Starlight Entertainment Official platform.
The police dropped all three pieces of solid information one after another, leaving netizens completely stunned.
Everyone had heard about all the scandals Leon Cole and Tony Sutton got tangled up in. The only reason.
nothing ever cof it was because they were just too well-connected-two years ago the whole mess got
completely buried.
“I vaguely remember Leon. Wasn't he the one who got drunk and beat up a female talent, leaving her deaf in
one ear? She actually called the cops, and it blew up online for a while, but then everything just disappeared.
Guess he must've thrown a lot of hush money at her,” someone posted.
“Tony Sutton wasn’t any better. He forced stalent to drink with him at those after-parties. Three girls tried
to report him together, but still nothing happened-even with all that evidence. Those two both had spretty
powerful connections,” another netizen pointed out.
“So, Yolanda’s only been in charge for less than two months, and she’s already managed to kick both of them
out? She's actually getting stuff done,” someone commented.
“Have you guys checked out the new contract? It was posted right on Starlight Entertainment’s official page.
Yolanda teamed up with lawyer Jason Maine to put it together-seriously, who hasn’t heard of Jason Maine? Back
in the day, he fought cases for migrant workers and rubbed all the big shots the wrong way. The guy's got real
principles. I'm actually working in film and TV myself, and honestly, this contract is hands down the most fair one
I've ever seen,” another person chimed in.
“Jason Maine? | think Yolanda brought him in for her defamation case this time. Most people couldn't even dream
of hiring someone like him,” someone else pointed out.
“Forget Yolanda’s background for a second. Ever since she started running Starlight Entertainment, everything
she’s done has actually helped the talent. So how call those male execs who used to rip off the talent just
get to hide away, while Yolanda, the one doing real work, ends up taking all the heat for so long?” someone
pointed out.
“Damn, everyone's finally cooling off a bit. I've been dying to say this-those grossly unfair contracts Sophie
exposed were ancient Starlight templates, way before Yolanda even showed up. Why pin all that mess on her?
It's honestly just pure bad luck for her. And Sophie’s always claiming she’s standing up for people, but back
when those male execs were running things, she didn’t dare make a peep,” someone else jumped in.

“I get it now-it’s just because Yolanda’s a woman and seems easier to pick on. That's what set everyone off,”
someone commented.
“This is so messed up. Yolanda’s been getting dragged through the mud online for ages. No wonder she’s taking
it legal,” another person added.
Yolanda saw the public opinion swinging her way at last-just like she'd figured. Online crowds are mostly just a
bunch of followers, after all.
She tapped open her chat with Mary Hall, wanting to check in on her and ask about the latest buzz.
Mary was pretty much back to full strength, and she'd been glued to every update online. Seeing everyone

“Ms. Grant, | really want to get discharged today and cback to the office,” Mary blurted out.
Yolanda could tell just how eager Mary was and let out a little smile. “Make sure you're fully recovered first.”
Mary was so pumped, she practically wanted to leap out of bed and sprint around-after being stuck in here for so
long, it finally felt like she could catch a break.
She drew in a deep breath, fighting back her emotions. “Ms. Grant, Starlight Entertainment will keep getting
better-1've believed in you since the moment | first met you.”
Yolanda had an aura that made people believe in her.
Yolanda’s heart stirred. She used to think bearing the hopes of others was such a heavy thing, but when she truly

Whenever she pulled someone out of the abyss, the spark of hope shining in their eyes dazzled her.
She longed to see that look in more people's eyes.
But the shares she held weren't enough yet—even with Frank Doyle's, it only added up to 38%. She needed a
bigger stake if she wanted Starlight to truly be hers to command.
Yolanda dialed Megan’s number, remembering how Megan had said she needed squiet days. Yolanda was
curious how things were going for her now.
To Yolanda’s surprise, Megan was already over at the studio.
Yolanda hopped in her car and headed straight to the studio. When she walked in and found Megan cleaning up
all by herself, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
“You got out of the hospital and didn’t even tell me?” Yolanda said.
Megan tied up the trash bag. She still looked a little frail, but there was real fire in her eyes now.
“Yolanda, | still can’t really look you in the eye. | know what happened with Greg-I'm ashamed for dragging you

situation, so maybe you wouldn't get it. But now the baby’s gone, and Greg's disappeared from my life-I finally
feel like | can breathe again,” Megan confessed.
As she said it, she gave a wry, sarcastic grin.
Yolanda let her gaze drop. Greg was locked up now, and the cops had strict orders to keep him from reaching out
to Megan at all.
Yolanda took stto go see Greg in jail. He'd always been quick to lose his temper, and his addiction to
gambling only made things worse. But sitting there behind bars, Greg seemed eerily calm-almost like all that
madness had been washed away. The baby he and Megan had once dreamed of never got a chance, and
although he’d thought about changing for the better, those darker urges always pulled him back down. In the
end, it was the child who paid the price.
Greg was blunt: “I'm in here for life, and the Sinclair family will never letwalk free. Please hand Megan this
divorce agreement. Just say | met someone else and ran away with her. That's all you need to tell her.”
Greg spoke with a chilling calm, as if none of it really mattered anymore.
Yolanda wasn’t about to waste any pity on a scumbag like Greg-especially after what he'd really done to Megan.
She didn’t have the right to forgive him for Megan, and just because a bad guy turns over a new leaf, did that
honestly deserve any applause?
The damage was done, and there was no going back.
Megan kept her head down, quietly cleaning up the trash.
Yolanda took out the divorce agreement. “This showed up at my place a few days ago. It seems to have Greg's
signature on it. People are saying he ran off with another woman, but honestly, | have no idea if that's true.”
Megan went stiff, like she’d been rooted to the spot.
Megan grabbed the divorce papers from Yolanda, reading them again and again. In the end, she sat down on the
floor and broke down in tears.
Yolanda honestly had no idea what to say.
After crying herself out for ten minutes, Megan finally looked up with red eyes and asked, “So if | bring this
divorce agreement with me, does that mean | can go get married at the registry office now?”
“Technically, no, but | can get Charles to pull sstrings for you,” Yolanda replied.
Megan let out a sigh of relief and scrubbed her face with both hands. “Yolanda, thank you. You've warnedfor
so long not to put Greg on a pedestal, but | just couldn’t let go of the memories we built over twenty years.
Whenever | felt crushed, I'd remember how he protected me, how we’d talk about our future together. Those
memories felt like antiseptic, cleaning out the pain again and again—almost pathetic, really. Now look at me, this
broken mess... | even lost our child.”
Yolanda watched as Megan got up, went straight to the table, grabbed a pen, and signed the divorce papers
