Although Ruby technically had some influence, she couldnt help Levi break into the inner circle, so her impact on him was
minimal
But Irene was a different story. In her younger years, she and Jimmy had fought their way to the top, building the Nolan Group from the ground up. Many of the big names in the entertainment industry today had once been her juniors. If Irene spoke people listened–out of respect, fear, or both.
Levi was still a small–time actor, not even landing lead roles yet. He couldn’t afford to rock the boat.
Kaleb’s face practically screamed worry
He gently turged on Levi’s sleeve, silently urging him not to make any rash moves.
Even Daniel standing off to the side, had been sidelined in the current situation–proof enough of how much weight Irene still carried in the Nolan Group
Behind Irene, her entourage began whispering among themselves.
“Why hav
Levi said anything yet? Is he trying to get blacklisted?”
“Mrs. Irene showed up personally. That’s a huge gesture–and he’s acting like a diva?
“He’s just a small celebrity. This is too much trouble for someone like him. Just blacklist him already”
“Mrs. Irene probably only came out of respect for the Quintanas”
“Right, the Quintanas used to have some ties with her. She wouldn’t go too far for their sake.”
“Levi isn’t even an important member of the Quintanas. He’s just a distant branch, yet he acts like he’s some A–lister. Ridiculous
“Yeah, he’s let the fame get to his head.”
The voices were low, but Levi heard every word crystal clear
His hands clenched into fists.
Everything he had now, he had fought for.
He may not have had much status in the Quintanas, but after graduating from college and refusing to live under constant pressure, he had chosen to break into the entertainment industry instead.
He never once relied on his background.
He started from the bottom–playing extras–and worked his way up, building his network and fanbase step by step.
Now, his 30 million followers on X were all loyal fans.
That was exactly why the Nolan Group couldn’t simply blacklist him. They had to negotiate.
Money and connections could solve a lot of problems.
But once someone had real influence, they stopped being the problem and started being the one other people had to solve.
Still, Irene made no move to stop her people from talking.
She was deliberately putting pressure on Levi, making sure he understood his place.
Levi let out a silent, mocking laugh.

Somehow, this brought him back to the feeling he had when he first entered the industry–that quickened heartbeat, hunger.
He’d promised himself back then, he’d rely on nothing but talent and hard work to become a true actor
He never intended to climb by using shortcuts.
Meanwhile, Alice was still handling some legacy issues with the IT Department, which had caused a bit of delay
Once word spread in the company group chat, employees started gossiping, and every single comment made its way to
Alice’s ears.
“I heard Levi only showed up to fix the issue because Mrs. Irene got involved.”
“I knew it. With how hercely loyal his fans are, there’s no way Levi would be that submissive Turns out it was all because of Mrs. Irene.
“Ms. Randall went to greet him earlier, but he didn’t even acknowledge her.”
This time, Mrs. Irene is going to tighten her grip on the fashion department. She might even snatch a few other departments
“I don’t care about the rest. I just hope the IT Department stays safe–it’s finally running well”
Not necessarily. Isn’t Mrs. Irene here today mainly to deal with Mr. Eric and Mrs. Nolan!”
Just as Alice opened the door, all the chatter outside suddenly died, as if everything had just been a figment of her
imagination
She sneered quietly to herself.
Before she could say anything, a commotion started at the entrance
“Look! Levi’s here!”
Everyone turned toward the door.
Sure enough. Levi stood there, a faint smile in his eyes.
Mrs. Nolan. Ive been waiting for you. I know you’re busy, so I figured I’d come find you myself”
Behind him, Irene followed closely, face dark with fury–clearly, she’d just caught up.
Kaleb was already wiping the sweat from his brow.
Everything had been fine just moments ago. Kaleb had even started to think that maybe they should abandon Alice and just work with Irene instead–she was more dependable, after all.
But then Levi had let out a cold laugh.
“Mrs. Irene, I only want to discuss this matter with Mr. Eric and Mrs. Nolan. I don’t trust anyone else.
That one sentence was a direct slap in the face
Irene was so angry, her blood pressure spiked on the spot–she nearly fainted.
But Levi didn’t care.
He had asked Daniel for the location of the IT Department and marched straight over to find Alice.
Now, the tension in the air was thick enough to cut
