Chapter 68
Rachel’s eyes flickered. “Let’s go take a look.”
She had tried to approach Kamron directly, but the old fox was hard to deal with. She wondered if his daughter had inherited his temperament,
Herb immediately caught on

“It’s fine. Let’s just see what happens?
Just then, they heard someone from the staff greet Perla enthusiastically. “Ah, Miss Hoover, welcome!”
“Hase, come right in. We’ve prepared a special dressing room for you. Miss Hoover.
It was clear that Yvette had given them specific instructions. The staff practically groveled, treating Perla like royalty, as though she were the center
of the universe.
Hachel walked over, but just as
she was about 10 enter, a staff member stopped her.
“Who are you? This is the star dressing room, you can’t go in.
Rachel blinked. “I’m staff”
The woman looked her up and down, her face scrunching in confusion,
“Your staff ID?”

couldn’t place where she’d seen Rachel before.
Rachel was taken aback. Staff ID! She wasn’t a regular employer–she was the CEO.
At that moment, Herb cleared his throat and stepped forward. “Move aside. We’re from the Sarrattop Group, not from here.”
But the staff member clearly had been warned about people like them. Hearing Herb’s words, she didn’t even flanch. Instead, she raised her chin and said. “So, the Sarrattop Group thinks they’re special? You know who’s inside, right? The Summit Group. And this is Miss Hoover. Do you even know who she is? Move aside, or you’ll regret it. If you disturb Miss Hoover, you’ll be out of here before you can blink.
Rachel chuckled. “Wow, she’s really something, huh?”
Herb was starting to get irritated, but Rachel, finding the situation oddly amusing, decided to play along. “You’re really catering to Miss Hoover. huh? One smile from her, and you’re all up in the clouds?”
The staff member froze, realizing Rachel wasn’t just commenting, but actually insulting her.
“You–what did you just say? You come here to insult people? Get out of here! Is this how the Sarrattop Group behaves?”
The man was fuming, but just then someone behind him recognized Rachel.
“Hey, wait a minute, are you Hachel?”
The staff member turned around, confused. “What Bachel
The girl next to them piped up. “You don’t know? She’s the one who went viral after a clip was posted online. The stunning beauty”

Man frowned and looked Rachel
up
and down, then sneered, “Oh, a social media influencer.
Rachel was taken aback. “Since when did I become an influencer?
“Look, I know you’re here to see Miss Hoover, but let’s be honest. You probably just want to suck up to the director, right! You’re the type who’ll do anything for fame. I see people like you all the time. Just go away.”
As he finished speaking, he waved his lund dismissively, as if to shoo her away
Herb immediately stepped forward and grabbed bis hand, stopping him.
The staff member froze. When he looked up and saw Herli’s sharp, cold gaze, he hesitated. He suddenly didn’t have the guts to do anything more Just then, a voice rang out. “What’s all this noise?
Perlas voice echoed from behind, dripping with annoyance.
The man immediately turned around, forced a smile, and said, “Oh, Miss Hoover, it’s nothing. Just this influencer trying to barge in. I guess she found out you were here and thought she could meet you. I’m about to get rid of her.”
So now I’m an influencer, Rachel thought sarcastically.

She stepped forward and said, “You’ve got it all wrong. I’m here to see Miss Hoover, but one, I’m not an influencer. And two, I’m not here to chase
after stars.
But the man only heard the first part of her sentence. He scoffed. “Ha! Did you hear that, Miss Hoover? She admits it herself. She’s here to meet you. But look at her. Do you think someone like her has the right to see you? Get lost.”
Before he could finish, he turned back to Perla and said, “Miss Hoover, it’s the curse of fame. People will always try to latch onto you. Don’t worry, I’ll have them kicked out right now”
His words seemed to please Perla, and she raised her voice, “How did you even find out I was here! Seriously, the staff here is awful at keeping things under wraps. I told them not to let anyone know I was filming“
She huffed, then looked over at Herb, who had caught her eye. “But since you’re here, I’ll consider giving you my autograph. What do you want–an autograph or a photo! Hurry up.”
She raised an eyebrow at him.
Herb stood there for a moment, his disdain obvious. He gave her an eye roll.
“What a joke,
“What did you say”
The words left his mouth so casually, but they immediately landed in I Perla’s
sears. She stared at him, shocked. “Did you just say that to me?”
The man, who had been standing beside her, turned to Herb. “What did you just say? Don’t think you can get Miss Hoover’s attention by talking like
that
Perla’s face twisted with anger, “Get
Set them out of here now. I don’t want anyone like them coming near me again.
Rachel blinked, watching the situation unfold. The staff was already coming over to remove them. She quickly intervened. “You’ve misunderstood. Miss Hoover. Actually, this is Herb from the Sarrattop Group, and I’m also with Sarrattop. We’ve come to discuss a collaboration That’s why we’re here…

quick look, signaling him to stay calm, then stepped forward to stop the staff.
Move Don’t touch me
Perla shoved Rachel away, disgusted.
Herb’s temper flared. Without thinking, he took a step forward and slapped Perla’s hand away.
“Don’t you dare.”
Everyone froze. The staff member looked on in disbelief as Perla’s bag fell to the ground with a crash, the contents spilling everywhere.
“My bag!” Perla screamed, her voice full of shock, as though she had just lost something irreplaceable.
Rachel and Herb were both stunned, exchanging confused looks.
Perla scrambled to pick up the bag, but part of it had torn open on the ground. The bag was ruined.
Her eyes turned red with fury, and she screamed, “You–how dare you! This is Aryan Cooper’s signed bag! I spent so much effort getting this, and you’ve ruined it You’ll pay for this!”
Rachel’s mind whirred. ‘Aryan Cooper
The name rang a bell. Aryan Cooper was none other than Aryan Sarratt–the same man, the famous actor who had been in the entertainment industry for years, but had changed his name when he entered showbiz.
“So this is Aryan’s signed bag? Rachel thought, her mind racing
