Titus picked up the phone and opened Zac's Facebook post. @ZacTurnerv: The best contract in the industry? Isn't Titus afraid of being exposed by his sister? Well, let me reveal the truth. The contract I'm about to share is the one our company gave to Simone. Everyone can compare. He then uploaded the contract, blurring out the sensitive information. Of course, Felix had given his consent for this, but he didn't expect Simone to go this far and confront them directly on Facebook. When Zac wanted to help Simone by openly sharing the contract, he didn't object because he enjoyed seeing the Gray Family brothers being embarrassed. Also, he despised the Gray Family brothers for their arrogance. Hence, he looked forward to seeing their infuriated expressions when they found out that Simone had started her own studio and even poached the talents from Gray Entertainment. Upon seeing Zac's Facebook post, Titus knew that their previous public relations efforts had been in vain, and they were once again being embarrassed. He was already furious with Simone, and now, Zac was adding fuel to the fire, making him extremely displeased. Looking at Reuben, he asked, "Zac Turner is too arrogant. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?" After thinking for a moment, Reuben shook his head and replied, "We can't touch him for now." Titus furrowed his brows and asked, "Why? Star Entertainment has already crossed the line." Reuben explained, "Zac Turner's arrogance isn't built on Star Entertainment, but on the power behind him, the Turner Family. If we go after him, we might anger the Turner Family, and that would be troublesome. Besides, he's not an easy opponent because he has a wide network in the industry, and his fans are both rational and passionate. Anyone who messes with him will be in deep trouble." Gritting his teeth, Titus asked, "So, we just have to bear with this? Previously, he put Aaron down and bullied Jo, and now he's helping Simone to embarrass us. Are we just going to let him get away with it? I can't take this lying down." Reuben, however, remained calm. "Even if we can't, we have to because we can't provoke the Turner Family. Zac is the most beloved grandson of Old Mr. Turner and the youngest son of their family. He's highly favored while we're just businessmen and can't confront his family head-on. In this industry, even Felix doesn't dare to offend major investors publicly, but Zac does. He publicly embarrassed an investor who liked to engage in shady practices last time, and that person didn't even dare to retaliate. That's the confidence Zac Turner has, and the contract given to Simone was not initiated by Star Entertainment's top management." They had certain rules in their industry. Even if Felix wanted to support Simone in going against them and saw the potential in her, it was impossible to offer Simone the contract of the top star in Star Entertainment or even more freedom. "Star Entertainment had considered Zac Turner's connections before offering this contract." He stood up and patted Titus' shoulder. "So, you have to swallow your pride. In the future, once there is a chance, we'll take revenge on Zac Turner in the dark and make up for it, but not now." He was also angry at Zac's arrogance and the way he humiliated them, but if he couldn't anger the powerful Turner Family behind him, he could only bear it. Titus knew that Zac's elders were all influential figures, and if they really went after Gray Entertainment, they wouldn't be able to handle it; just by checking the contracts and taxes, they would be overwhelmed. He gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll bear with it. But in the future, I'll settle these scores. If we can't deal with Zac Turner, what about Simone? She's deliberately going against us, slapping us in the face. If we allow it to continue, who knows if it will get worse or not?" Reuben asked, "So, how do you want to deal with her?" This question immediately got Titus stumped. Yes, how should he deal with Simone? They didn't allow her to participate in variety shows, but she saved Jonah's wife, and Jonah wouldn't give them any favors. When they blacklisted her in the industry, she became even more popular through variety shows and turned the tables on them when they used fake accounts to attack her. Now, she was about to become a star in Star Entertainment, and all of a sudden, he didn't know where to start. Regretfully, he said, "Back then, when she came to the company, we should have signed a contract with her." If they had signed a contract, he would never have let Simone leave the company. Otherwise, she would have to pay a hefty compensation, and if she couldn't afford it, she would have to continue working under him. In contrast, Reuben was composed. "Didn't you realize that she already had a backup plan? We didn't bring up the contract, and she didn't bring it up, either. Maybe she was already prepared for this day." Judging from recent events, he reckoned that his little sister was not simple at all, and they had underestimated her before. Taken aback, Titus had to reluctantly admit that Simone had indeed prepared for this, and this realization made him even more upset. Reuben was also not feeling his best at the moment. "Haven't you noticed? She's completely fearless and intentionally wants to sever ties with us. So, let's put a pause on our plans against her. If we continue to make a fuss, we'll become a laughingstock in the industry." Titus was extremely frustrated after being tricked and slapped in the face by his own sister and asked in disgruntlement, "Is that it?"Reuben retorted, "What else can you do to her now?" Titus remained silent, seemingly having no other options. Clenching his fists tightly, he said, "Then, we'll let her have her way one more time." On the Internet, due to the consecutive Facebook posts by Simone and Zac, combined with Simone's suggestive and rhythmic Facebook posts, everyone couldn't help but indulge in conspiracy theories. They believed that Simone's older brother, Titus, wanted to intimidate and manipulate her, using Facebook to cover up and clear Leon and Jodie's names. This was simply outrageous. He was not a decent person. How could a brother do such a thing? Fortunately, Simone had cut off ties with them. Simone's fans and many others who couldn't stand it rushed to Titus' Facebook page to criticize him. Once again, Leon and Jodie were mentioned and berated, reigniting the heated discussion that had just subsided. Jodie, feeling that she was deceived by Simone once again and being criticized by so many, was filled with anger and on the verge of losing her mind. Seated in the living room, she cried out of frustration. She aspired to gain popularity in the entertainment industry, but not through negative means. Upon witnessing this, the three Gray brothers, including Luca, couldn't resist offering their consolation once again. However, they had to be cautious as they were being observed by the female housekeeper, so they refrained from embracing and comforting her openly. Aaron pondered for a moment and proposed, "What if we opt out of the next season of the variety show?" Being treated coldly and mocked by his own sister on a televised program was uncomfortable. Truth be told, he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about continuing to participate in the upcoming season. Moreover, with Jodie facing criticism, he believed it would be better to withdraw. As soon as this suggestion was put forward, Jodie immediately voiced her opposition, stating, "No, I won't quit." If she were to give up like this, wouldn't it imply that she was afraid of Simone? She had already devised a plan to transform her image and win the audience's favor in the next season. Most importantly, her dream indicated that this variety show would gain increasing popularity. Otherwise, why would she go to such great lengths to participate, even if she couldn't replace Simone? Apart from wanting to compete with Simone and bring her down, it was also because of the hints in her dream. That was why she aspired to be on this variety show and gain popularity from it. How could she abandon it now? No, she couldn't accept it.
