Chapter: 273
However, he also knew that going head-to-head with them would be futile, as they wielded more financial power than he could
ever hope to match. After many restless nights, Tyler came up with a plan: he would try to break into the entertainment industry.
It was the only viable option he could think of.
Tyler was aware of his advantage in the looks department, and in this era, appearance was everything. Even if he lacked acting
or singing talent, he could still carve out a niche in showbiz purely based on his good looks.
But when he came to SJ Entertainment to inquire about signing up, Brielle spotted him. The next day, he received the crushing
news that every entertainment company in town had been instructed to reject him on account of Brielle’s personal vendetta
against him.
Tyler, feeling desperate and alone, had a faint hope of signing with Ariana’s agency.
He remembered how she had looked at him in a way that hinted at wanting to sign him before, but he hadn’t shown any interest
back then. However, now he realized that Ariana was his only option.
He started visiting SJ Entertainment daily, sitting in on classes, and searching for her. But, she was nowhere to be found.
Eventually, Tyler discovered that Ariana had traveled with Sarah to Ivebridge for a program.
Undeterred, he continued to wait, enduring Cole and the other trainees’ constant teasing and mocking. Tyler knew that if he
didn’t fight for his chance to succeed, he’d never be able to help his family live a better life.
So, he braced himself to face any obstacle, even if it meant he might get hurt along the way.
And finally, the long-awaited moment had arrived; he had to seize it with both hands.
As all the trainees wrapped up their performances, Tyler’s hand rose, signaling his presence in the room.
However, Ariana seemed oblivious to his gesture and deliberately looked past him, as if he was invisible.
Tyler’s heart dropped like a rock, plummeting to the depths of despair. Was he destined to be abandoned by everyone, even
Ariana, due to Brielle’s machinations?
The anxious teenager standing by the window caught Ariana’s attention, but she deliberately tumed a blind eye to him.
Her thoughts were clouded by the injustice that Betty had suffered at the hands of his family, who had abandoned seeking justice
for the sake of money. Ariana was unhappy with this.
After the brief performances, Ariana sized up each trainee and wanted to know more about them. She opened the name list and
said, “The one called by me, step forward in order. Chiquita Morrison.”
A girl with delicate features and bangs approached the stage, resembling a porcelain doll.
However, Ariana noticed her timid demeanor and lack of confidence, which were major red flags in the entertainment industry
where artists were expected to be outgoing and comfortable in front of cameras.
Seated on her chair, Ariana closely scrutinized the girl’s figure and demeanor while posing a series of thought-provoking
questions. Upon finishing the brief interrogation, she offered a cordial smile and spoke in a respectful tone. “Your looks are
promising, but confidence is key. I have a good idea of where you stand. You can go back to the others now.”
The crestfallen trainee trudged back to the group, knowing full well that she was eliminated.
The routine continued in this manner for the rest of the group of trainees.
