The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 483

Starlight International PR firm got a makeover to become an entertainment agency. Folks didn't seem to mind. But it had got people wondering, was the boss losing her marbles?

"Ms. Summers, does this mean you're going head to head with Pulse Entertainment?"

"Ms. Summers, I mean, signing a couple of artists is one thing, but are you seriously considering signing an agent who's one foot out the door and might take her clients with her?"

Some reporters were downright peeved at Chloe's blatant provocation. One of them bluntly asked, "Jeanette, the plagiarist who's got a lawsuit hanging over her head, is rightfully blacklisted by Pulse Entertainment! Ms. Summers, are you signing this bad apple just to spite the Summers family? Did you give a thought about the repercussions on your company and society?"

Facing the reporter's righteous indignation, Jeanette instantly turned pale, her hands nervously twisted together. She couldn't even lift her gaze. But Chloe simply smirked, gave that reporter a chilly glance, and coolly responded, "First off, I'm not trying to pick a fight with Pulse Entertainment! If you're talking about the new talents I signed today, that's just my knack for scouting talent!"

There were snickers all around. Knack for scouting talent? Looked like Ms. Summers might have indeed lost her marbles.

Chloe continued, "Secondly, I signed Zoey because she's a powerhouse. If she managed to stick with Pulse Entertainment for thirteen years, she'll surely last thirty with me! As for her taking artists with her, doesn't that just show how capable she is? And if we can't retain artists, doesn't that reflect poorly on the company?"

The room fell silent. Didn't she just say she wasn't against Pulse Entertainment? But that remark was clearly a dig at them. And what was with her constant emphasis on her 'knack for scouting talent'?

Only Zoey was nearly moved to tears.

Yet, Chloe didn't give a hoot about the reactions, and continued evenly, "Thirdly, why would I jeopardize my company just to spite the Summers family? Besides, the plagiarism accusation against Jeanette is still up in the air. I'd advise you to watch your words. One false statement can ruin someone's career in showbiz. If you're clueless, look no further than Pulse Entertainment's recent press conference. To blacklist someone, all it takes is one word from one person. Also, Jeanette is a stellar musician. Luckily, my eye for talent spotted this diamond in the rough. I have to thank others for their oversight, allowing me to discover her and sign her."

Silence fell upon the room as she once again mentioned her 'eye for talent'.

A quick-witted reporter spoke up, "Lenard has gathered evidence and taken Jeanette to court. He even made the evidence public on Twitter. It clearly proves Jeanette's plagiarism. So."

"Sorry, I need to interrupt." Chloe held up her hand to stop the reporter, then continued, "I'm about to announce my third decision."
