Benson suddenly thought to ask. When the executives heard his query, they looked at each other and finally shook their heads. Jason said, "It's allegedly a no-name old man, but I don't know any specific details."

"You couldn't find anything on him?"

Jason shook his head. "No."

"That's odd," Benson frowned. His gut told him this studio wasn't as simple as it seemed; otherwise, it wouldn't have helped the little-known Cecilia reach her current level of stardom so quickly. He had to be wary.

"Mr. Evans, do you wish to continue the investigation?" Jason asked.

"No," Benson waved his hand. "No matter who the owner is, we can't underestimate the enemy, and we must proceed as planned."

"Right."

"You're dismissed. Try to finish your assigned tasks as soon as possible!"

The executives nodded and left the CEO's office.

In the following days, KG Entertainment placed all its hopes on Lina. With their investment, Lina didn't disappoint, making a name for herself and significantly boosting her status in the entertainment industry. Despite this, however, her status remained inferior to Cecilia's. After all, Cecilia's popularity had surged after appearing on the TV singing competition. She gained many fans and was dubbed the "Iron Lung Queen" by the public. Her career was thriving.

However, her rapid rise made her the target of industry jealousy, including Lina Wood. One day, Gwenda had just finished a debriefing when Hattie found a tweet that enraged her.

"She's gone too far! Too f*cking far! I've never seen anyone so shameless!"

Seeing Hattie's anger, Gwenda calmly sipped her tea and asked, "What happened?"

"Gwenda, look at this." Hattie handed her the phone.

Gwenda scanned the tweet and comments, then snorted coolly. "It's normal."

"This is normal?" Hattie facepalmed. "Gwenda, you're taking this too lightly. Cecilia released a cover of this song last week, and now Lina did the exact same thing this week! Her singing style is also very similar. It's clearly a deliberate attempt to gain popularity!"

"That's precisely her purpose," Gwenda said, unsurprised. Such tactics were common in the industry; even if Lina hadn't done it, someone else would have.

"So, we'll just ignore it?" Hattie asked.

Gwenda took a sip of tea. "For now. If we react, she'll feel flattered. Besides, Cecilia's fans aren't easily deterred. Do you think they'll let this slide?"

Hattie nodded thoughtfully. "That's right. The fans will definitely react strongly."

"You know what to do," Gwenda raised an eyebrow.

Hattie smiled. "I'll let the fan club know!"

The moment Hattie left, Gwenda considered inviting everyone for hot pot. But her phone rang. Seeing Olivier's name, she choked on her breath and coughed. He hadn't contacted her in nearly a week since the jealousy incident. She'd been so busy she'd almost forgotten, but his name brought it all back. Composing herself, she answered. "Hello, Mr. Petit." Her voice was hoarse from coughing.

Olivier, on the other end, noticed the change in her voice. "Have you caught a cold?"

The changes include:

• Improved sentence structure and flow.
• Corrected grammatical errors (e.g., verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement).
• Replaced informal contractions with more formal alternatives where appropriate.
• Standardized punctuation and capitalization.
• Removed unnecessary words and phrases.
• Clarified ambiguous wording.
• Replaced "have been dubbed" with "was dubbed" for better grammar.
• Added a few commas for improved readability.

The passage is still slightly informal in tone, but it's grammatically correct and much clearer than the original.
