Chapter 434

“Okay, let’s switch gears,” Debra said, pulling out her phone. She flashed Oscar a screen displaying his electronic signature alongside Potter Entertainment’s stamp. “Is this your contract?”

Oscar squinted at the screen, recognizing his signature. “Yes, that’s it.” His mother had pushed him into this industry, and he’d signed the contract with Potter Entertainment without understanding the complexities of the business. He handed the phone back and asked, “Where did you get this?”

“Do you want out?”

“Out? Where?”

“Edgar has invested in this program, and your chance of debuting is sealed.”

Debra laid out the worst-case scenario. “If you stay, you’re looking at endless obscurity, debt, and penalties your family can’t afford. Another agency might pick you up, but success? That’s a gamble.”

“What are you suggesting?”

“I bet Edgar’s investment tanks within three months.”

“What?” Oscar was surprised and skeptical. After all, entertainment companies, especially giants like the Potter Group, weren’t in the business of failure.

Debra explained, “There was someone in your shoes before. He trusted me and became a top actor.”

Oscar’s eyes widened. “You mean Michael?”

Debra nodded. “If you want, I have a way out for you.”

“I’m listening.”

“I’ll cover your penalty fees, but you need to agree to one condition.”

“What condition?”

“Convince all the male trainees to come with me.”

Oscar was dazed for a moment before asking, “How can I trust you?”

“I’ll cover all their penalty fees. They’ll debut, either in a group or solo, and they’ll be successful. At least second-tier stars,” Debra replied, pulling out a check for 50 million. That was enough to cover all their penalty fees.

“Alright, I’m in.”

Debra felt relieved. She needed his help to handle the male trainees and eventually make Edgar lose money.

Back in the dorm, Debra found herself cornered by Freya and the others. “We saw you with Oscar. Are you two an item?” Ashley demanded, stepping forward. “Dating is against company rules. Hannah can’t help you now.”

Debra didn’t bat an eye. “Have you been eating trash lately? Because your mouth sure is foul.”

Ashley bristled. “You’re the one breaking rules. I’ve already called Hannah to deal with you.” She thrust her phone at Debra, showing a video of her and Oscar together.

Debra raised an eyebrow. “That’s cute. But how about this?” She whipped out her phone, revealing security footage from the cafeteria. It showed Freya looking around furtively before slipping something into someone’s food.
