Kapitel 257: She wouldn't be escaping his grasp that easily.

Evelyn's tactics were swift and decisive; she threatened to bankrupt Starline Media within ten minutes, and in just three, Diane was nearly on the verge of begging for mercy.

"Miss Taylor, Starline Media... it's not up to me," Diane hurriedly explained, "But I assure you, Mason will never be seen in public again. He'll be blacklisted throughout the industry."

Mason, still reeling from the slap Diane had given him moments earlier, was shocked to hear her promising his complete professional downfall.
