Chapter 1325: Sophia’s Schemes
Qi Xuansu did not completely trust Audrey, but that did not prevent him from making a deal with her.
“Miss Ale, for a famous actress like you to achieve success, it cannot be solely due to talent and hard work. There must also be other forms of assistance,” Qi Xuansu said calmly.
Audrey did not deny it. “Patrons certainly exist. But once one becomes famous, a certain degree of freedom comes with it.”
It was like when a girl newly entered the prostitution business. She must obey whatever the madame says and would be beaten or scolded at will. But once she became the top courtesan, the madame must treat her with respect and discuss matters with her because at that point, she was the most prized possession. Yet behind the madame, there was always a greater patron pulling the strings.
Qi Xuansu asked, “Who is this patron? Chairman Sophia August?”
Audrey nodded. “Everything I have today is thanks to her.”
But the remark carried a double meaning.
Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully, “You mean to say that Sophia made you, but she is also the cause of your ruin.”
“Exactly.” Audrey nodded. “It was Sophia who lifted me to the heavens, making me the queen of White Avenue who is adored by countless admirers. It is also Sophia who pushed me into the Abyss, letting darkness slowly devour me.”
Qi Xuansu said nothing.
A female chairman had groomed an actress with countless admirers. Yet instead of using the beautiful actress for the usual exchange of power and beauty, she forced this actress to become a follower of a fallen apostle. What exactly was she trying to achieve?
Qi Xuansu did not ask so bluntly. Instead, he said, “Miss Ale, if you want my help, then you must make things clear to me. What kind of enemy are we facing? What does this enemy want? What trump cards do they possess? I’d like to know my enemy before getting into battle.”
