Chapter 4: Scaring Away the Unethical Agent

When LINK rushed to the dormitory upon hearing the news, it was already noon. Hearing the knock, Bai Tian’er pinched herself hard, and her crystal-clear eyes immediately welled up with tears, like mist gathering.

“Tian’er, what happened yesterday?”

LINK was a sharp and efficient middle-aged woman, her eyes occasionally flashing with shrewdness. Seeing the mist in Bai Tian’er’s eyes, her heart sank, and a sense of foreboding instantly rose within her.

Bai Tian’er burst into loud sobs, kneeling on the floor with her long skirt spreading out, revealing a large bruise on her knee.

“I… I don’t want to live anymore…”

The girl’s cries were deafening. Panicked, LINK quickly shut the dormitory door tightly and scolded, “You foolish girl, what are you crying for? Do you want to become a laughingstock?”

“Last night, I did as you said, but not only did I fail, he even had his men beat me up. I don’t want to live anymore. Master Tong even threatened to spread this matter… How can I face anyone after this?”

Bai Tian’er kept sobbing, and coupled with the bruise on her knee, she looked utterly pitiful. LINK bit her lower lip and asked, “Then yesterday, did any of his men… take advantage of you?”

Bai Tian’er cried even louder. LINK gritted her teeth in anger. She had clearly seen Tong Jin drink that glass of wine at the bar yesterday, how could things have turned out like this?

Then again, if Tong Jin were so easily fooled, he wouldn’t be Master Tong.

But what about Bai Tian’er? Such a beautiful and uniquely gifted artist, if she were ruined under her care, the company would surely not let her off easily. Besides, this girl had already thoroughly offended Tong Jin. Her future would undoubtedly be difficult, and she herself would inevitably suffer as a result.

LINK’s expression shifted uncertainly, and she finally decided: she couldn’t keep this little girl under her wing any longer.

Hadn’t that guy Wang Yuan wanted to take Bai Tian’er before? Well, she’d just hand her back to him.

Although this decision would draw criticism throughout the company, she couldn’t worry about so many people. Master Tong wielded immense power if Bai Tian’er had managed to form a connection with him, she would have risen to great heights. But now, with things in such an embarrassing state, and the possibility of compromising photos leaking soon, she dared not manage this artist any longer.

Watching Bai Tian’er weeping incessantly before her, LINK grew increasingly irritated.

“Enough! Crying, crying, always crying. Since I started managing you, nothing has gone smoothly.”

Bai Tian’er widened her pitiful eyes, looking up at LINK with a tear-streaked face that could evoke endless pity in any man. LINK snorted coldly. With such a perfect appearance, yet unable to even seduce a man what a waste.

“Then what should I do, sob…”

“I’ll think of something.”

After tossing out these words, LINK hurried away. The door slammed shut with a sharp sound. Bai Tian’er slowly raised her head, her tear-filled eyes sparkling like diamonds, brimming with laughter and a hint of seduction.

“Passed.”
