Chapter 713

She muttered under her breath and headed to her lounge.

As soon as she entered, Robin Sears followed her in. "Shelby, I don’t think the director will cut out the scene we just had. I just tested the waters—he was hesitating, not showing a clear stance."

Shelby Hamilton was already irritated. At these words, her frustration intensifies. "I don’t care! You handle this! If the scene where I called ’cut’ gets aired, I will never work with this director again!"

Robin too had no idea what to do, so she changed the subject. "By the way, Tina Thornton is here. She’s outside."

Mentioning Tina Thornton only added fuel to the fire of Shelby’s frustration.

The song that was once hers, sung by someone else—it felt as awful as swallowing a fly!

"Let her in."

Shelby Hamilton looked at herself in the mirror. What small regard she had for Tina Thornton diminished further. She thought, Tina was a simple character that could be handled in two to three sentences!

A perfect opportunity to vent out her anger.

Meanwhile, Robert Foster was eating a sticky dessert when his phone vibrated.

He took a look, and his eyelids twitched. Standing up, he scanned the surrounding area.

Then, he said to Chloe Collins, "I’m going to the restroom."

He put down the dessert and swiftly walked out with his phone in hand.

He just received a message from Tina Thornton, saying she was here.

He took a few steps outside and spotted the short-haired girl with the guitar on her back.

She saw him as well but did not show familiarity—only a slight nod before moving away.

He forgot that he recognized her, but she didn’t recognize him as Mount Inferno.

Just then, Robin Sears arrived and guided Tina Thornton away.

Robert Foster, out of concern, followed them.

There were chairs outside Shelby Hamilton’s lounge, where he sat down.

The lounge was a temporary construction, bad at soundproofing—almost non-existent.

Inside...

Once Tina Thornton entered, she saw Shelby Hamilton touching up her makeup.

As a younger colleague, she bowed politely and said, "Sister Shelby, I’m Tina."

Shelby Hamilton smiled, "Don’t call me sister. I’m an only child; I don’t have a sister like you."

Tina Thornton was taken aback.

For Shelby to turn a simple form of address into something this awkward...

She couldn’t help being nervous.

"The song Mount Inferno wrote, do you know who it was for?"

"The company may have signed you, but that doesn’t mean they will promote you. Your potential and personal qualities matter."

"Speaking of qualities, firstly, you must know what’s yours and what’s others." She smiled again and added, "Taking what’s not yours, riding on others’ coattails—it signifies a lack of moral character. This kind of popularity is not respected by peers and it’s not sustainable. I hope you understand."

Tina Thornton said, "Ms. Hamilton, I know. The song was initially written by Mount Inferno and me for you. But... you rejected the draft of the song that Mount Inferno sent, and that’s why I sang it."

Shelby Hamilton laughed lightly, arrogance in her eyes. "Did I reject it? When did I say I didn’t want it?"

Tina Thornton’s face turned pale. She took a step back, suddenly lost for words.

Then, sullenly, she said, "But that day, I personally went to ask you to sing this song. You not only rejected it but also criticized my lyrics and slapped me twice."

Her words made the temperature in the room drop dramatically.
