Chapter 162

Leia was about to leave. Reyna thought of her condescending statement and felt guilty. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was wrong, so she quickly stepped forward to stop Leia from leaving.

“Leia, tell me! What did you mean just now?”

She wondered what Leia meant by saying she was just a high-level manager. Leia was being a bitch and had no right to say this.

Leia glanced at Reyna and noticed that she was a little nervous. She felt even more smug. Initially, she did not want to say that she had a good relationship with Nicolas. However, she had felt aggrieved for a long time and just wanted to give Reyna the shock of her life.

Hence, the corners of her mouth curled into a contemptuous smile. She said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about the relationship between the Anderson and Sanger families. The two families go way back and even plan to join forces through marriage.”

“So what?” Reyna frowned.

She had indeed heard about the marital joining between the Anderson and Sawyer families. However, Leia was not directly involved in this marriage…

“So what?” Leia was about to yell because of Reyna’s stupidity.

It was no wonder that Lighting Media was not doing as well as Radiance Media and Phoenix Entertainment when such a stupid woman took over as manager.

Leia continued, “The marriage will happen between Nicolas and I because I’m the Anderson family’s legitimate heiress. I’ll become Nicolas’ wife. You just work for the Sawyer family. So, where do you get the confidence to be so arrogant?”

As these words were spoken, the lounge instantly fell silent.

After a few seconds, Reyna suddenly burst into laughter and said mockingly, “I was wondering why you suddenly became so arrogant. It turns out that you have hopes of marrying the Sawyer family’s useless son!”

When she heard Reyna say that Nicolas was useless, Leia immediately panicked. “Reyna, watch your mouth! Is Nicolas someone a regular employee like you can casually discuss?”

“He’s just a member of the Sawyer family!” Reyna sneered.

She crossed her arms and said disdainfully, “Nicolas is a useless piece of trash who doesn’t have power. People have discussed him countless times behind his back. If he had any backbone and forced himself into managing the Sawyer family’s business, I would think highly of him, but he idles around all day. Do you think I’m afraid of him!”

“You–” Leia lost her patience.

Leia originally wanted to use Nicolas to intimidate Reyna, but she didn’t expect her to not care at all.

Leia was anxious and angry. She said indignantly, “So what if he doesn’t have any real power? Isn’t he still a member of the Sawyer family! Moreover, he has 30% of the shares. Even if he doesn’t have a managerial position, who would dare to disobey him at the shareholders meeting!”

Silence came over the room.

On the topic of shares, this made Reyna a little hesitant.

Indeed, Leia is right. Reyna thought. Nicolas may be a useless piece of trash, but he does hold 30% of the company shares. If he were to get serious about management, it would indeed be troublesome for me. He is already enough trouble for the Sawyer family.

“Nicolas’ mother was a despicable and shameless mistress who framed the legitimate matriarch. After she died, she gave Nicolas 30% of the shares to give him a happy life. The Sawyer family is too good to Nicolas!”

Just as Reyna was lost in her thoughts, Leia continued her ruthless speech.

Leia said hatefully to Reyna, “You look down on Nicolas, right? Fine! Just you wait. If you dare to slander him like this, it won’t be long before I ruin your reputation and kick you out of the entertainment industry forever!”

With that, Leia walked off angrily.

Reyna’s face darkened. She was furious with Leia.

This little bitch. Not only did she not listen to me, but now, she even dared to threaten me!

“Well, that’s just great! I promise to ruin your reputation, Leia!”

But Reyna was just angry. She was still a little afraid of Nicolas. After all, he did hold 30% of the company’s shares. If he wanted to join the management, the Sawyer family would let him do anything.

With this thought in mind…

Reyna quickly called Nicolas’ eldest brother, Marshall.

After a long while, he finally picked up.

A refined and helpless voice sounded. “Reyna, why are you calling me at this time? Didn’t I tell you to follow the rules during working hours? Make an appointment with my secretary first.”

“Marshall…” Reyna felt a little aggrieved when she heard his gentle but stern words.

They had done everything a husband and wife could do.

However, if she wanted to call him during the day, she had to go through the formal procedures of the company.

All this hiding made her extremely unhappy. Marshall had promised her that he would divorce his wife and marry her, but the matter had not been settled for a long time.

Reyna’s heart almost broke. However, despite feeling this way, she still had to talk about serious matters.

Reyna calmed herself down and said, “I wanted to talk to you about something serious.”

“Oh!” When Marshall heard that, he asked, “What is it?”

“Recently, I’ve been exposed to a lot of negative news. I didn’t want to get distracted, so I asked Leia to help me. That woman threw a tantrum at me and tried to use your brother to intimidate me. She threatened to make sure I don’t survive in the entertainment industry.”

Reyna complained to Marshall in a coquettish tone.

After Marshall heard this, he smiled disdainfully and said, “I thought you would bring up something serious. Not to mention that Leia has no relation to my brother. The Anderson family’s biological daughter, Noelle, will marry Nicolas. Even if Leia knows Nicolas well, what can that useless man do to you?”

“That’s what I thought at first,” Reyna responded.

Her voice was delicate and a little coquettish as she said, “But I remembered that Nicolas still has 30% of the Sawyer Group’s shares. If he becomes serious about managing the company, I’m worried…”

“Don’t worry!” Marshall interrupted her.

He said confidently, “Nicolas has 30% of the shares, but even if he manages Lighting Media, he can’t mess with you just because he wants to. If he wants to mess with you, he’ll have to ask me first!”

“Marshall!”

“When Reyna heard this, her heart ignited with joy again.

Marshall cares about me, she thought.

She couldn’t help but probe again. “However, I’m tired of staying in the entertainment industry and scheming against people. Now that The Legend is aggressively getting popular, I’ve become a little powerless. So I’m thinking, why don’t I step back? That way, at least I can leave a good impression on my fans.”

She didn’t know Marshall would strongly oppose this as soon as she was done speaking.

“Reyna, what are you talking about? You’re the diva of the music industry. Do you know how many people in Lighting Media rely on you to support them! If you leave the industry, what will happen to Lighting Media! I believe in your talent. It’s just a small setback now. You can’t back down just–”

“But Marshall…”

“Enough. There’s no need to talk about leaving the industry. I’ll think of a way to deal with the negative news about you. You just have to write a new hit song, as long as it’s comparable to The Shadows, and gives The Legend a run for its money!”

“Marshall…”

“I have something to do, so I’ll hang up now,” Marshall said.

With that, he hung up before Reyna could say anything more.

Reyna looked at the black screen and felt sad and angry.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that Marshall sleeping with her and promising to marry her was just a lie. He had never thought of divorcing his wife. Everything was just an excuse to tie her down.

Although, she wondered if there was a point in having these suspicions.

Reyna had invested too much in this relationship. Therefore, before the two of them completely fell out, she had no choice but to believe that Marshall loved her. She was convinced it was just not the right time for him to get a divorce.

No matter what, she had to choose to focus on either love or power.

Reyna suppressed the bitterness and sadness in her heart and called her lawyer again. She had to prepare to sue Noelle.

As long as she destroyed Noelle, The Legend would lose popularity. At that time, she would still be known as Reyna, the undisputed diva of the music industry…
