Chapter 29
Quiana spat out her chocolate bar and chugged some beer, giving Hugo a cold smirk. “Get rid of him, and then Quintanal and Septana would go to war, and you’d be left cleaning up the mess?”
“Whoa! No way…” Hugo was stunned, his eyes wide with shock. “Is him the boss of Quintana?”
Quiana glanced at the data on her computer screen, her eyes half–squinted and cold as ice. She didn’t expect the boss of Quintana to be Julius, a guy half–alive and stuck in a wheelchair.
After snapping out of it. Hugo murmured softly, “With your medical skills, couldn’t you just wave a finger and make him die from his sickness?”
Quiana raised her hand and gave him a gentle tap on the head, watching as both he and the wolf in his arms flinched. Calmly, she said. “If you’re bored, go find something to learn.”
Her medical skills weren’t for killing,
The next morning, there was a loud knock on the basement door. Hugo, with his mess hair, got up and opened the door just as Alina rushed in from outside, asking. “Where’s Quiana?”
Hugo vawned, “She’s still asleep.”
“Still asleep?” Alina’s voice immediately rose. “It’s already ten, and she has no clue about the huge mess outside?”
“What? Did the sky fall?” Quiana leaned against the bedroom door, wearing a black silk nightgown. Her skin was perfect, exuding a seductive allure.
“It’s worse than the sky falling!” Alina said through clenched teeth. “You’ve been fired from “Burning Youth‘!”
Quiana’s comeback was a big deal for Stellar Entertainment. Everyone at the company was praying. In today’s entertainment world, it was all about profits–newbies came and went at lightning speed.
Stellar Entertainment had already hit hard times, and Alina hadn’t managed anyone for years. The few contacts she used to have now avoid her like the plague when they hear about Quiana.
“Burning Youth” was a small project, so Afina thought she’d give it a shot. But when she got to the set to meet the director, she got the news,
“He went on about a bunch of stuff, but the bottom line is, the investor thinks you’re bad luck. They said they’d pull their money if you acted, and they can’t afford to upset the investors, so they had to let you go,” Alina complained.
The role was set, the show had started filming, but then Quiana was fired. This is a first in the entertainment industry. The news would probably be all over soon.
Quiana looked at her phone, full of missed calls and messages from Cassie and Evelyn about this issue. She scrolled through quickly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Who’s the investor?”
Alina replied, “Keith Hawley”
Hugo, listening in, frowned, “Why is it someone from the Hawley family again? Is it another one of them?”
Alina didn’t look too happy. “He’s from the Hawley family, actually the eldest son’s kid.”
Quiana raised an eyebrow. “Could it be another one of Julius’s nephews? There sure are a lot of them.”

“Is that really the main point?” Alina looked at Quiana’s casual attitude and felt speechless. “The main point now is you’ve lost your only chance!”
Quiana calmly replied while texting back. “What’s the rush?”
Alina was so angry. “Relying on you to make us famous? Might as well set myself on fire!”
[Did Quiana really get kicked out? Joined the crew and then got booted! That’s so funny!
[With her attitude, she wants to play a business lady. Keep dreaming!]
[A child star makes a comeback after 13 years and gets kicked off the crew right away. It’s today’s biggest joke!]
Seeing the buzz on Twitter, Nolan stormed into Keith’s company, furious. He demanded, “Did you get Quiana kicked out of
the crew?”
Keith was sitting at his desk working on some paperwork. It took him a moment to realize who Nolan was talking about. He said calmly, “Yes, it was me. What’s the problem?”
Nolan gritted his teeth, saying, “What gives you the right? What did Quiana ever do to you?”
“Because I’m the investor,” Keith replied with a cold smile.
Keith had always been proudly independent, starting his own business early and investing in various industries, including entertainment. But even if Keith couldn’t stand the Julius, Keith wouldn’t dare make it obvious.
Quiana’s role, although important to the main storyline, didn’t have much screen time. The director had agreed too. It made no sense that Keith was not satisfied with Quiana and demand for a replace.
Nolan frowned as he thought about the rumors he’d been hearing around the crew, “Are you targeting Julius, or is this about Winona?”
