Chapter 410 Is It Because of Jodie?
Two more days had passed.
Simone and Zac made plans to have a meal together, and she gave him several amulets that she had arved. The stone that Zac had given her before had been incredibly helpful, and she wanted to repay hum Zac was delighted to receive the gift from Simone, and a sunny smile appeared on his handsome face. “Thank you, Simone. With the amulets from last time, I can give one to each of my family elders. You have once again become famous in the industry. Many people are seeking your help in geomancy.
Recently, Derrick had been promoting Simone a lot, and the news spread. Simone chuckled lily. “It seems like I need to thank Derrick for promoting me.”
Lac then brought up something he had heard. “Gray Group is targeting your studio. Have you heard about it? Yesterday Felix mentioned that Gray Group wants to join forces with Star Entertainmer and Royal
sess the artists in your studio. They even proposed that they could help the artists

nies compete for resources against the artists in your studio. But Feli refused, and it
fused as well,”
Simone nodded. Romulus told me about it.”
Although Romulus had fallen out of popularity, he had once won the Best Actor award and still had a few friends in Gray Fertainment. So, someone secretly told him about Gray Group’s decision, and Romulus then informed Simone.
She sighed helplessly. “When I signed Romulus this time, I just felt that it would be a shame for him to leave the industry like this. It really wasn’t because he was an artist from Gray Entertainment that I sign d him. I didn’t even think about that at the time. I can only say that the executives of Gray Group like to overthink things.”
Zac agreed, “I also believe that when you signed Romulus, it wasn’t to target Gray Group. They are paranoid and distrustful.”
He asked, “Now that they want to adopt a policy of suppression, will you fight back?”
Simone replied confidently, “They have to make a move first, and I will definitely strike back. They only think that if my studio grows and develops, it will be a threat to them. They want to destroy my studio in its infancy. But I’m not someone to be trifled with. If they dare to join forces with others and use unfair means to snatch resources from my artists, I will cut off their reaching claws.”
If they cocted for resources using fair competition, she wouldn’t do anything, but she would follow the rules. Sh would just do her best to fight for her studio’s artists.
Whoe er got the resources would have to rely on their own abilities.
Zackled, “I knew you would react this way.”
Although Simone was not someone to be messed with, as long as others didn’t target her first, she wouldn’t intentionally suppress or antagonize anyone.
“By the way, the idea of other companies joining forces to suppress your company’s artists was proposed. by Reuben, according to what Felix told me

In the high-level meetings of major companies, as long as it didn’t involve company secrets, with many per ple and diverse opinions, there weren’t actually many secrets to be kept.
Simone nodded, “Yes, I heard it from Romulus as well.”
The wasn’t surprised at all by this news.
Zac said, ‘Is it because of Jodie that he came up with this idea?” Rumor had it that Steven kicked Jodie out of the Gray Family because of Simone, and Salma, because she cared more about her adopted daughter. voluntarily moved out to live with Jodie. So, it was very likely that Reuben wanted to seek justice for his mother and adopted sister.
Stone laughed. “Probably not. Reuben is much more rational than the other sc*mbags.”
She added he’s just afraid that my studio will become bigger and stronger and that the fure resource benefits water to Gray Entertainment. This would affect his resume, and he’s a raid that during his tenure as 1
ent of Gray Entertainment, it would become a stain on his recorr
“It would also all his entry into the Gray Group and his future position as the Chairman of the Gray Group. After all, the Gray Group is not solely controlled by Steven now; there are major shareholders eyeing the position of Chairman. They will definitely use my studio to overshadow Reuben’s developme in Gray Entertainment. They will highlight the success of the artists I poached from Cy Entertainment and use it to supess and target them. They will say that he is incapable, even inferior to his sister, who grew up outside, and not suitable for the position of Chairman. The idea he has now is just a preparation for the future. After all, the success of my studio has also disrupted their plans. Suppressing my studio, or even shutting it down directly, benefits the Gray Group as they can seize and divide more resources. also adds a significant achievement to his resume
Her studio had gained some recognition now, and Se mbag No. I just wanted to take advantage of the situation to establish his dominance.
Although he loved Jodie, in his heart, the position of Chairman of the Gray Group and his career were the most important.
Zac suddenly understood. “So, it’s mainly for his own sake. Gray Group’s people will indeed compare you with him, given your relationship.”
In the end, Reuben couldn’t compare to his sister, who grew up beyond the family.
“He may be questioned about his abilities, which could affect his future as the chairm. But I think Reuben he got things wrong. This is the best reason for him to improve his business skills, right? To gain recogniri, without suppressing and undermining others.”
“I dou1 he can hold onto that position as the chairman of the Gray Group in the future, Simone chuc. “Isn’t this their favorite trick? Ever since Reuben and his brothers joined Gray Entertainment, thei pany’s culture has shifted towards suppressing and undermining others.”
In the Gray Family brothers’ philosophy, this was the most effective method. As for the people being suppressed and undermined, it was not their concern.
Z laughed, “True, their style is disliked by many in the industry. They’ll get what’s coming to them in the future.
Simone had dealt with each of them one by one. Now, Titus, Luca, Andrew, and Aaron hau all been pur in

their place and no longer used trouble. Next, Zac was looking forward to seeing Reuben being dealt with. They continued to discuss work matters.
Zac jokingly suggested, “Simone, how about we plan a trip together? We can invite some of the people who
prar on variety shows.”
Of course, Leon and the others were excluded.
Upon hearing his suggestion, Simone’s mind was filled with excitement. “That’s a great idea! Why don’t we go hiking and camping?” She had already assembled the two maps and pinpointed their exact cation.
This time, their journey would serve as an opportunity for exploration. After all, the maste minds would never antici ate her swift deciphering of the location. Furthermore, they would never an cipate that she and the other celebrities would actually visit the places marked on the map.
