Chapter 485 Farewell

Eugene raised his hand, interrupting, "I didn't help you. It was a coincidence. | prefer to challenge my artists with

scepticism. Popularity and hype are just tools to test loyalty. Didn't we use the stactics when | was

managing you?" Lydia was momentarily speechless.

Eugene continued, "I never intended to use Violeta's popularity to suppress your negative press. That theater

performance incident was a coincidence; maybe even fate gave you one last chance.

"Clearly, you didn't make the right choice. You disappointed fate, so now fate wants you gone."

An assistant handed Eugene a disposable cup of water.

He took a sip and went on, "Lydia, when you decided to leave Apex and go solo, | wondered if it had been too

easy for you to rise to the top in recent years, almost making you forget how tough that first year was.

"You thought | helped you bear the burden of drinking that alcohol back then, because | believed in your courage

and determination. | like comrades who fight alongside me. Your actions that year madesee a bit of a

"What makes you think | would help an outsider like you over my own people?" Lydia mumbled, "An outsider

"I can't help you, Lydia. You've brought yourself to this downfall step by step." Eugene nodded, looking tired.

"Yes, just as | predicted, and it's just as tragic."

Lydia clenched her fists, her eyes filled with rage. "Then why are you here? Why did you come?"

Eugene set the water cup on the table. He admitted, "Of course, | cto see you fall.

"Did you think | was here to help you?

"Lydia, I lifted you up step by step. Now seeing you fall, it painsmore than anyone, but | know you brought

this upon yourself.

"The day you left Apex four years ago shattered our bond. I've seen you at your peak, and now | won't miss your

lowest moment. "Now that I've seen it, let's part ways."

With that, Eugene turned and left the hospital room.

His assistant stood stunned, not reacting.

They had thought Eugene cto help them, but never expected ...

Eugene was here to deliver his final farewell.

Lydia had played her cards poorly. Even fate wasn't on her side anymore.

She was so furious that she fainted again.

The assistant hurriedly pressed the call button.

"Lydia! Lydia!"

After leaving the hospital, Eugene smoked a cigarette by the roadside.

He glanced back at the hospital, stubbed out the cigarette, got in his car, and drove away.

Lydia shouldn't have pinned her hopes on Eugene.

Eugene was no longer her ally.

In times of trouble, she thought of their bond, but when she

In this industry, it was a cutthroat world.

Lydia's high profile attracted plenty of vultures.

Ophelia was the first to hire trolls to attack Lydia's Facebook.

Soon, others followed, not just attacking Lydia but also the brands she endorsed.

Ophelia ruthlessly took over one of Lydia's urban s.

When Ophelia tried to take down Violeta, it backfired.

But this time, there was no reversal for Lydia.
