Chapter 94 Is She Really That Amazing?
The three big entertainment companies, besides Clark Entertainment and Starlight Entertainment, also included StarSpark Entertainment.
The president of StarSpark, a man in his thirties with an elegant vibe, was Willard Ramirez. When his assistant shared the same information, he looked surprised.
"Didn't see that coming."
He couldn't figure out why Herman would leave for a small, unknown studio. And why would Anna let Emily, with her scandals, be on a variety show? Anna hated scandal-ridden artists and had the power to block anyone she didn't like. So how did Elizabeth pull it off?
He was curious about what Emily would do next. Would she clear her name or use the scandal for attention? If she wanted to use the scandal, she would've done it already. But clearing her name didn't seem likely either.
For the first time, he felt curious about Elizabeth and wanted to keep an eye on her.
The assistant added, "Daniel's show is funded by their studio. Elizabeth even said she wouldn't use artists from Clark Entertainment. Daniel actually sent back two Clark Group artists."
This was unexpected; Elizabeth was tough.
Willard couldn't understand. "Starlight offered her a great deal, but she opened her own studio instead. What's her game?"
He thought for a moment. "She must be trying to compete with Clark Entertainment. Everyone in her studio, except the Baker family's young lady, was poached from Clark."
He smirked. "Let's see if the Clark brothers or their sister Elizabeth come out on top."
He was waiting to see the Clark brothers mess up, though they were already a joke. But he felt an even bigger joke was coming.
"Keep an eye on Elizabeth's studio and report any moves."
They had underestimated Elizabeth, thinking she was just messing with the Clark brothers. Now it seemed she had bigger plans.
'This is getting interesting!' Willard thought.
At Clark Entertainment, in Loren's office, he and Richard listened to their assistant's report. Both were shocked.
Richard double-checked with the assistant. "Are you saying Elizabeth turned down Starlight's contract and started her own studio? And she poached our team and artists?"
The assistant, who had confirmed it several times, nodded. "Yes, Herman is now her operations director. Emily, Elbert, and Gilbert all joined her after leaving our company."
He continued, "Their studio also invested in Daniel and announced they wouldn't use Clark Entertainment artists."
Richard broke the pen in his hand.
His face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. "Elizabeth, she's really something, huh?"
Elizabeth was openly challenging them, poaching their old team and artists on purpose.
Richard said, "Loren, she's making us look like fools."
If they knew, the other two big entertainment companies would know too and enjoy the show.
Loren hadn't expected this outcome. "Yeah, once the industry hears about this, we'll be a joke."
Getting poached by Elizabeth without even noticing was embarrassing.
Those three artists were useless now, but Herman's team was top-notch. Losing them was a real blow.
Richard asked, "Loren, do you think Elizabeth had a hand in Herman and the others jumping ship? It happened so suddenly, and confronting us with evidence is totally her style."
Loren glanced at him. "You just realized? Isn't it obvious?"
His eyes narrowed. "I suspect Elizabeth told Herman about that secret."
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
His sister was becoming more unpredictable.
If things hadn't gotten this bad, and she didn't resent them so much, he would've wanted her back at Clark Entertainment in a management role.
Richard's anger grew after hearing Loren. "She really surprised me this time."
He then asked, "So what do we do? Should we take her studio down while it's just starting?"
If Elizabeth's studio got established fully and kept opposing them, it would be embarrassing.
He added, "If we make her studio fail, she'll have to come back after it closes."
That was his plan.
He couldn't tolerate Elizabeth continuously humiliating him.
Loren rubbed his temples. "Dad called me yesterday and scolded me. Said Elizabeth is our sister, and if we keep fighting, it'll hurt our relationship and be embarrassing."
Richard sneered, "He usually doesn't care about us, and now he does? Interesting. Besides, Elizabeth doesn't even see him as a father. He's just afraid our sibling rivalry will embarrass him. Where was he before?"
Loren gave Richard a warning look. "Don't say that again."
Richard pouted. "Fine, I won't. Anyway, since Elizabeth wants to fight us, we can't be afraid."
He squinted and gritted his teeth. "I must make her come back and bow to me."
Loren sighed. "Do as you wish."
He also hoped Elizabeth would come back.
They tried to reconcile nicely, but Elizabeth didn't agree and even opposed them.
So they had to take extreme measures.
Richard sneered, "Poaching Herman and the others shows Elizabeth has some vision and ability. But poaching Emily, she's just asking for trouble."
He snorted, "Since she's so high-profile and wants to slap our faces, I'll let her know what it means to ask for trouble."
Loren thought for a moment. "I feel it's not that simple. Elizabeth is smart and can think of what we can. She might have another trick with Emily."
He realized their sister Elizabeth was not to be underestimated.
