This wasn’t just any proposal–it carried real weight.
Seeing Wendy hesitate, Chase asked, “What do you want to do?”

“I didn’t say yes, but I didn’t exactly say no either. With our relationship to Caesar, I could never do anything that would hurt Mario, But if the goal is to take down the Harrison family, that still gets me closer to the truth–what they did to my dad.”
So the question was: which road would she choose?
Wendy added, “Caesar’s ties make this more complicated. And Henry… I don’t fully trust him. What I am curious about is what the Harrison family did to him. Because sending him abroad to marry into the Hudd family can’t be the whole story.”
They’d asked Shanelle once, but she said she didn’t know anything.
After their marriage, Henry had always seemed warm, even considerate. He never meddled in the Hudd family’s business, never needed to socialize, and appeared to be the perfect husband.
In fact, Shanelle didn’t even know when Henry took over Moses Group.
“The Harrison family is hiding way too many secrets.”
Typhoon Corp’s first domestic feature was about the entertainment industry–specifically, Harrison Group Entertainment.

After the PR nightmare at Light Loc Hotel, the biggest hit landed on their entertainment division.
Eventually, the Harrison family was forced to pull out of the entertainment business entirely. Even Wen Zhiyuan got blacklisted.
Yes–that Wen Zhiyuan.
Wendy seized the opportunity to acquire several core teams from Harrison Group’s entertainment division screenwriters, directors, even a few top–tier IPs. She spent a lot, but it was worth it.
With the new entertainment department under Quinn Group, several execs were thrilled–thinking they’d now have an endless supply of actresses to flirt with. But Wendy laid down a hard rule: no one under Quinn Entertainment would “accompany clients“-not publicly, not privately.
Not negotiable.
This move sparked massive buzz, especially among fans. No other agency had ever dared to draw such a hard line.
Even Lemon didn’t go that far.
At the top of the industry, there were always unspoken rules. Sometimes, you had to. ertain important clients. If they asked for someone specific, Lemon would send actors or actresses who were willing.
But zero participation? That was unheard of.
Wendy refused to bow to anyone. She’d rather see her artists struggle than be mistreated. At the very least, no one would suffer under her watch.

They were women, just like her–and if she could, she’d be the one to shield them.
That alone earned her a wave of praise. The loudest came when top–tier celebrity Patrick signed with Quinn Group.
Patrick had been scouted at thirteen. Now, after fifteen years in the industry, he was one of the most powerful A–listers.
His fans all knew: early in his career, he had been forcibly subjected to the unspoken rules. It was brutal, and back then, he had no way to fight back.
He swallowed it and climbed his way to the top. Today, no one could touch him.
Though he’d had his own independent studio for years, Patrick still chose to sign with Quinn Group- adding serious clout to their entertainment division.
With Patrick onboard, Quinn Group was now neck–and–neck with FN.
“Mr. Patrick, I’ll be your new publicist. Name’s Zynn.”
Wendy personally approved Zynn, Quinn Group’s head of PR, to serve as Patrick’s exclusive publicist.
Patrick still had his own manager, of course, but Zynn would handle all public relations–only for Patrick.
They met for the first time in the Shay Corp parking lot.
Patrick was on his way out, Zynn had just arrived for work.
Zynn was always a force: bold, seductive, effortless. In a red dress with her long hair flowing and eyes gleaming, she looked stunning–even if she hadn’t had her morning coffee.
She glanced at her watch, then strode over to shake Patrick’s hand.
“Sorry, I’ve got another meeting right now. You go ahead–I’ll catch you later.”
Before he could reply, her phone went off–loudly.
“I know, I know! I told you I was stuck smoothing things over with Cliff Haven last night. Didn’t you say I could sleep in today? Wendy, are you seriously a workaholic?!”
Patrick’s manager, Victor, chuckled as he walked over. “If she’s calling the CEO by her first name, you know they’re close. Zynn’s a legend in PR circles–there’s nothing she can’t fix. The fact that she’s been assigned to you alone? That’s a big deal.”
Even after she disappeared inside, her perfume still lingered in the air. It was a while before Patrick finally looked away.
“Look into her background for me,” he said as he got in the car.
Victor was already scrolling on his phone. “What, you think she’s got an agenda?”
