Chapter 2684
A voice came from behind Roland.
The man who slowly approached the group of people attracted everyone’s attention. He
had a breathtakingly handsome mixed-race face, and his temperament felt noble and
elegant.
Although he was not from within the industry, everyone knew that he was Nollace Knowles,
the prince of Yaramoor, and his beloved wife was Daisie Vanderbilt from the Goldmanns.
Donny stared at him and was slightly shocked. “Your Highness, you’re in Bassburgh too?”
Nollace nodded. “My cousin happens to be attending this banquet too, so I’ve come over to
have a look.” ‘Cousin?’
Only then did the others realize that the female screenwriter they had been talking to
looked familiar.
Freyja walked to Nollace’s side. “Why aren’t you accompanying Daisie at home? What
brought you here to join in the fun?”
“No matter what, I’m still one of Tenet’s shareholders. I heard that the agency recruited a
newbie and then used the fame that my wife had accumulated in the past to market her
debut. I’ve always thought that it’s part of the agency’s operations, but it turns out that it’s

Roland was stunned.
‘I tried my best to persuade the board into agreeing to recruit Roxy, and coupled with
Daisie’s contract, which is about to expire, I really thought that the two of them would never
meet.
‘But I didn’t expect Daisie’s husband, the prince of Yaramoor, to be one of Tenet’s
shareholders. It’s no wonder he didn’t attend the board of directors’ annual meeting and
why the board asked me to find another manager for Roxy, saying that it can’t be Charlie.’
When Roxy learned that the regal man standing in front of her was Daisie’s husband, her
expression changed.
She finally understood why Daisie had chosen this man over Zephir.
‘Pfft! It turns out that this man is more powerful and influential than Zephir, and he looks
even more outstanding than Zephir. After all, she could become the princess of a country.
Why would she care about the entertainment industry?’
Roxy gnashed her teeth.
‘Why can’t I be as lucky as Daisie?
‘I’ll let the fact that I’ve been treated as Daisie’s substitute by Zephir slip. The problem is
that I have to get myself involved in an affair with this old man who already has a family.
This is infuriating!’
Roland did not dare to say much more as he could not defend Roxy too obviously. If Tenet’s
board were to learn about it, it would definitely leave a great impact on his future on the
board.
In the end, he could only apologize to Freyja and leave the banquet with Roxy.
Roxy was unwilling to leave the venue. She immediately got into an argument with Roland
as soon as they left the banquet hall, left him behind, and left by herself.
The banquet did not stop there, and Freyja walked aside with Nollace. “What’s the matter
with that artist named Roxy? Is she exploiting Daisie’s fame?”
“She’s been in the limelight quite frequently nowadays, and the agency’s marketing
department has been putting a lot of effort into hyping her debut by comparing her with
Daisie all the time. I was under the impression it was what Tenet’s business partners
wanted, but I didn’t expect Mr. Goldwin to be the one who’s directing all this behind the
scenes.”
Nollace narrowed his eyes.
‘Tenet has many co-investors and shareholders, and the chairman of the board is Mr.

matter.
‘However, in order to persuade the business partners to ask Tenet to promote Roxy and go
to the extent of using Daisie’s reputation to hype her up. It seems that Mr. Goldwin has
pushed behind the scenes to pave a path for this woman.’
Freyja crossed her arms. “When a newcomer makes her debut, if she’s able to do something
to make the audience agree unanimously that she is Daisie’s successor and crown her as
Daisie Jr., then that’s a form of recognition.
“However, I haven’t even seen her put out a single play yet. All she has done so far is hype
herself up with someone else’s fame. If the other party hasn’t agreed to that, then it’s
surely intentional.”
When thinking that Roxy did not really care about being compared to Daisie, it seemed
intentional.
“Daisie doesn’t really care about it, but I won’t let anyone exploit her fame. This woman
isn’t as simple as she seems.”
After some catching up, Nollace bid Freyja goodbye and took his leave first. When he walked
to the parking lot, someone suddenly stopped him.
