Chapter 825 Crush Her Hopes

• Her irritation was unmistakable as she turned her gaze to Kate. “There are things I've been holding back. You're my agent, one of the best in the business, and yet all this time, I've never seen you fight for me. You've told me to accept everything, including this pathetic fifty-thousand offer.”
• It was the first time Skylar had ever snapped at Kate. Kate, caught off guard, took a deep breath and admitted, “I know I messed up last time. I made the wrong call, and I've been trying to make it right. I've handpicked the best scripts for you since then. This role is perfect for you—you're going to shine in it. You remember Mia Thermopolis, right? The lead from The Princess Diaries? That's what we want for you—a national sweetheart, someone everyone loves.”
• Skylar couldn't help but reflect on how different things had become. The company's original vision had been clear—focused on cultivating true talent. But now, everything was about chasing trends, casting actors in roles that fit whatever was popular at the moment. It felt like there was no longer any real artistry involved, only market calculations.
