'Hmph! Roland promised that no matter what I asked for, he'd fulfill it unconditionally. Now, not only does he resent me, but he gaveup to the police! Is this what he calls love?' thought Tracy vehemently. It seemed to her that she could only trust herself in the world.

As Lucas stepped out of the car, the president of Brightstar Entertainment rushed over and greeted him obsequiously. "Mister Lucas, hello, hello! Your reputation precedes you, and I'm so glad I finally get to meet you!" Lucas remained expressionless, nodding slightly. "Hello, Mister Digby. It's quite unfortunate to meet under these circumstances. I wish we could've met each other for a better reason, rather than..." Lucas lowered his head subtly, and Digby Townsend immediately understood.
Who in their right mind would want to go against Lucas from Rivera Group? Besides, it was not like Tracy had brought much profit to the company. In fact, she had been causing trouble everywhere. No matter how ambitious she was, no matter how dedicated she was to climbing up, Brightstar Entertainment would not want to keep her. After all, the person Tracy crossed happened to be Melody, Lucas' wife. Moreover, Tracy was too impatient and opportunistic. Who knew what crazy and despicable things she might do in the future since she had no qualms about drowning Melody to achieve her goals? Brightstar Entertainment had a strict requirement for hiring actors and actresses-absolutely no engagement in illegal or criminal activities. Otherwise, the company might be affected. Who knew how many times they would have to clean up the mess for them? The company had not even recovered the money they invested in training Tracy, and to make matters worse, they would have to pay for the damages caused by her actions. Only a fool would choose to keep such trouble around! "So, Mister Digby, I take it you have no objections to letting the police handle Miss Tracy?" asked Lucas with a raised eyebrow. He did not expect things to be resolved so smoothly.
Digby immediately put on a righteous expression. "Rest assured, Mister Lucas, that we won't support a problematic actress like her. Brightstar Entertainment may not be a top-tier company in the industry, but we absolutely won't engage in such criminal activities." Lucas smiled in satisfaction. "Good to hear that."

Unfortunately, Tracy kept clamoring that she would only give her statement with the company's lawyer present. Without a lawyer, she refused to speak, causing significant obstruction to the officers' interrogation process. Digby was there to tell her that there would be no lawyer speaking for her and to give up any hope of the company bailing her out.
As soon as Tracy saw Digby, she rushed over. "Mister Digby, you're here to bailout, right? vight? I didn't do any of the things they said. I'm being falsely accused! Where's the lawyer? I asked them to call you to bring the company's lawyer, why hasn't he come? What's the use of you being here without a lawyer?"
Digby's face darkened as he confronted Tracy. He never expected that she would bring so much trouble e to the company. He had her to thank that he still had to squeeze out a smile and apologize to Lucas at his age.
"I suggest you give it up. I had the lawyer arrange the termination of your contract when you got into vel trouble. Our company can't afford to accommodate actresses like you. It's best if you find another company to work with," he declared sternly.
