Gwen had always been an adventurer, seeking thrills and excitement. She agreed. This idea is excellent. Our studio needs to grow and become stronger. In the beginning, we couldn’t directly compete with other entertainment companies, so it was not appropriate to poach their employees. Otherwise, if they join forces, we’ll be suppressed, and that wouldn’t be beneficial.
“Instead, we should focus on poaching the artists that Gray Entertainment has given up on, suppressed. or ghosted. People might think that you’re acting on impulse. You did this intentionally to go against the two brothers. And I’m sure no
e will have high expectations. Sc“mbag No. 1 and No. 2 might even see it as a joke. They won’t be too cautious.
“Based on their arrogant personalities, they won’t play tricks in the beginning to suppress the people we poach. That’s because they want to see you fail and make a fool of yourself so they can mock you. Or, they might pretend to be generous and offer you a contract to return to Gray Entertainment. But once we elevate our people, it will be too late for them to regret.”
Simone’s smile deepened in her eyes. “You understand me.”
Her thoughts were exactly what Gwen had said.
“After we poach Gray Entertainment’s former operations team, we can start poaching their artists. We can consider the artists who have been given up on as long as they have potential and good character. But we shouldn’t poach too many in the beginning. Let’s start with two to four talents to promote. We should poach secretly so that when they switch jobs, they won’t mention our studio. Although Sc*mbag No. 1 and No. 2 might want to see me fail, it doesn’t mean they won’t make things difficult for us when we poach.”
Especially after she had angered Sc*mbag No. 2, who was still holding a grudge, it would be best to announce it publicly after successfully poaching the people.
Gwen nodded. “We truly have a telepathic connection. I was thinking the same thing.”
Whether it was in life, philosophy, or work, she and Simone always harmonized so well. That was why they wanted to be lifelong best friends who could trust each other with their backs.
“When you participate in the next live variety show, I’ll go to the film academy to see if there are any talented newcomers. We can even invest in producing our own films. Gwen said, “I have quite a bit of money, so I can invest it in the studio.” She added with a bold attitude, “I’ll sponsor all of you.
Although her mother did not favor her and her brother, they were raised by their grandfather.
Before he passed away, he intentionally favored them and left them with six percent of the shares, evenly distributed among the siblings. That was because after Leon went to study at Cebros, he was influenced by Mrs. Foster, He foolishly wanted to bring their grandfather back to Cebros to create a harmonious family. This angered their grandfather, who only gave him a share.
In the end, their grandfather gave Gwen all the antiques he collected and the assets that did not belong to the Foster Family so that she would have something to rely on if she ever wanted to leave the family. Her older brother and other cousins received nothing from their grandfather.
It served them right, as they had distanced themselves from their grandfather all these years because of

Mrs. Foster. Only the siblings had stayed by their grandfather’s side for many years.
After he passed away and she returned to the Foster Family, it was because of the things their grandfather left behind that she had the confidence and strength to oppose her mother and others.
The rest of the Foster Family was extremely jealous and covered the shares she held. Even Mrs. Foster openly and secretly hinted at her, not only wanting her to give the shares to Skyler but also wanting the antiques their grandfather left behind Gwen pretended not to understand and ignored her. If she got annoyed, she would retort a few words.
She would not be like her foolish older brother who would go up to their mother and be used by her as soon as she showed a little motherly love. Because of this Mrs. Foster disliked her daughter even more.
It was because she could not bear to part with the things in her hands that she would scold her while at the same time, begging her to come home: Every year, Gwen received dividends of tens of millions from the Foster Family shares. After going abroad, she worked at Harold’s company She was busy every day and did not have much time or energy to go out and spend So she had accumulated several billion in her hands.
Simone knew her friend was a wealthy woman and joked. “Okay, we’ll wait for you to sponsor us.” She would also work hard to earn money and invest in the studio Plus, she had invested some of the money in the stock market before
Later, she planned to do some ceomancy work. She would also take some time to the jade market at the border and bring back some jade to sell as protective talismans, making money and connections. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thinking of this, she reminded Gwen. Your grandfather left behind several antiques that have auspicious energy. They can be used as good protective talismans or mystical tools Don’t sell them
Gwen nodded. ‘Dont worry I’ve stored them all in a bank safe specifically for these items. I have plenty of money, I won’t sell them. If I leave them at home. I’m afraid they’ll be gone by the time I come back.
Mom and the others are all coveting them, especially her. Her desire for the annques left to me by my grandfather exceeds my share in my hands I wonder what she wants to use them for She shook her hand speechlessly Look she even covets this string of bracelets in my hand. She has hinted several times before, saying that she likes it and wants me to give it to her. I pretended not to hear, and then she went to my brother to hint that she liked it
That fool. Leon, came to me and said. It’s just a string of bracelets. Since Mom wants it, just give it to
I was so angry at the time: I wanted to hit him. This was especially sought by my grandfather, and he asked me to wear it all the time before he passed away. How can I give it to that woman?”
Simone’s gaze fell on the bracelets on Gwen’s wrist. In her previous life, she could not directly see the true value of these beads, but she had recently attended a mini timeline focused on mystical arts, and her proficiency in this area had greatly improved.
Now, she could easily discern its true nature. She remarked. This is an incredibly potent mystical tool for self–protection. It can ward off disasters and save lives in critical moments. No wonder she desires
IL.”
She also wore a jade pendant around her neck, a gift from her master, which held a similar significance to these crystals.
Gwen smiled self–deprecatingly upon hearing her words. “I knew it wasn’t that simple. She typically

adorns herself with high–quality jewelry and limited–edition luxury bracelets. How could she possibly appreciate a string of bracelets?”
Simone examined the beads and pondered for a moment before inquiring. “Does Mrs. Foster possess knowledge of mystical tools?”
Gwen shook her head. “Probably not.”
“But she does have a fondness for collecting antiques. My father has auctioned off many for her. However, once she acquires them, she doesn’t seem to hold them in high regard. If she doesn’t like them, she simply accumulates them in a room. I overheard her two assistants privately discussing how she has given away a significant number of them. Im unaware of who the recipients are, though.”
Simone cautioned, “If you return in the future, pay attention to this aspect of her behavior. Many antiques can serve as mystical tools. It seems there is more to her acquisitions than meets the eye”
Initially, Gwen had not paid much attention to these matters. However, upon hearing Simones words. she also sensed that something was amiss. “Alright, I’ll be more observant next time and have the butler keep an eye on her.
The butler was her grandfather’s trusted aide, who had secretly protected and assisted her,
Simone nodded. “Hmm, but be cautious.
