Chapter 330 Eugene Scott

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

Violeta had had enough of the mockery.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Initially, she thought she would just endure a few remarks, but seeing that they weren't stopping, she decided to retort.

After all, she wasn't a pushover.

She smirked and looked straight at them.

Calmly, she said, "You think I'm being picky?

"You've got it wrong. You two weren't even in the running. I apologized out of courtesy, but you guys are taking it too far.

"How is it that, despite being so 'good' at your jobs, you're still stuck here after all these years?

"Instead of reflecting on your own failures, you resort to this passive-aggressive nonsense. Who do you think you are?' Winnie and Cora, who were about to leave, froze on the spot.

They were at a loss for words.

Brandon watched with surprise and amusement.

Tracy and Chad were equally shocked.

None of them expected a newbie like Violeta to talk back to the agents.

She's bold!

Cora snapped, "What did you say?!"

Winnie added, "Who are you to lecture us?"

Violeta replied, "You should ask yourself, who are you to mock me?"

Cora was completely enraged. "What did the talent scout find in someone like you?"

Violeta blinked innocently. "My pretty face, of course."

Cora was shocked by the answer.

"Do you think they should pick someone like you instead? Excuse me, but how old are you, forty-something?" Violeta continued.

Cora cursed in her heart.

F*ck! I'm only thirty!

She was so angry that she felt dizzy.

Winnie turned to the staff member. "You saw that, right? This person is extremely rude. She's already like this right after signing the contract. Imagine how hard it would be to manage her later. I'm going to speak to the vice president about terminating her contract..."

Before she could finish, the door suddenly opened, and a man in gray walked in.

"Terminate whose contract?"

Everyone turned to look at the door.

The man who entered was Eugene Scott.

Apex Entertainment's superagent.

The staff member asked in surprise, "Mr. Scott, what brings you here?"

Eugene entered the room. "Sorry for being late, I'm here to pick up my artist."

He scanned the room and smiled at Violeta. "Let's go. I recognized you immediately. You're the prettiest one here."

Cora and Winnie were at a loss for words.

The staff member stammered, "Mr. Scott, she's under you?"

Eugene replied, "Yes, why else would I be here? Oh, you probably didn't get the notification yet. I only received the message half an hour ago. My vacation is over."

In the industry, it was well known that Apex Entertainment had two superagents.

Eugene was one of them and Aiden was the other.

Since Eugene started his career, he has only managed one artist. He had worked hard and became a

He previously managed Lydia Coleman, one of the most popular celebrities.

Lydia was the sweetheart of the industry and she had a terrifyingly huge fan base.

She rejected 'The Moon Belongs To You', if she had accepted it, she would have been the first choice for the female lead.

Lydia had been in the industry for five years, signing with Apex at the start, with Eugene as her agent.

Eugene had bet on Lydia and worked tirelessly for her.

The reason for her departure was simple. She felt Eugene was too strict and controlling.

She wanted the freedom, to date, and to make her own decisions.

In short, she had reached a level where she wanted to be her boss and not be constrained.

Eugene could have leveraged Lydia to negotiate with the company, transitioning from an agent to a stakeholder.

But with Lydia's departure, he lost his bargaining chip and couldn't make a deal with the company.

Eugene could only let her go while saying, "Let her be, her success and failure depend on her abilities now."

Then he took a three-month vacation to relax abroad.

Eugene's return hadn't spread through the company yet.

So, it was a shock to see Eugene around. The fact that Eugene was there to manage Violeta was even more surprising.

The person Violeta mentioned just now was Eugene.

It made sense since Eugene didn't have anyone to manage at the moment, and Violeta was available.

They couldn't understand his choice.

Violeta was just a newbie with no background. Why would Eugene take her on?

The staff member looked at Violeta in astonishment.

Could it be that Violeta was actually the rich girl we'd heard about, not Tracy?

What the hell!

It's a huge misunderstanding!

"Alright, I'm taking her now. Do as you wish. Let's go, beauty."

With that, Eugene led Violeta away.
