Chapter 194: Chapter 194

Quinn Lockwood went to the agency, using the pretext of wanting to collaborate with Ariana Lynch on another drama, and asked the receptionist to contact Ariana’s agent, Leo Hansen, saying she wanted to discuss some specifics with him.

"Miss Lowell, Leo Hansen resigned early this morning. Ariana’s current agent is Philip Chandler. Would you like me to contact him for you right away?" The receptionist, aware of Quinn Lockwood’s fame and status, spoke politely and courteously.

Quinn Lockwood’s expression first froze when she heard about Leo Hansen’s resignation, then gradually became more severe.

It seemed that this matter was definitely connected to Ariana Lynch.

So eager to hide Leo Hansen, it really seemed like something she would do. It looked like Quinn wouldn’t be able to find Leo in the country now.

Heh, Ariana Lynch, did you really think I would be dumb enough to let you destroy me again?

Her nails dug deeply into her flesh, and Quinn Lockwood’s clear eyes instantly turned cold and dark like an unfathomable abyss.

"Miss Lowell?" The receptionist, seeing Quinn Lockwood frozen and her demeanor so chilling it was frightening, couldn’t help but shiver.

Quinn Lockwood came back to her senses, instantly returning to her usual bright and grand demeanor.

"Then please help me contact Philip Chandler, thank you."

After waiting in the lounge for about half an hour, Quinn Lockwood met Philip Chandler.

Upon first sight of Philip Chandler, a gleam flashed in Quinn Lockwood’s eyes, and she wore a barely discernible smile.

So it was this Philip Chandler.

As her gaze assessed Philip Chandler’s face, she noted that although he was reasonably neat-looking, his brow was narrow, and he had mismatched eyes, with a sharp hooked nose but thinly fleshed. He instantly struck her as someone skilled in manipulation and smooth talk.

Moreover, she had heard Anna and other agents mention Philip Chandler, saying that despite his young age, he had already become a somewhat famous agent in the entertainment industry. The stars he managed were all at least somewhat renowned, even if they weren’t top-tier names.

Not yet in his thirties, yet earning high praise from a host of veteran directors and entertainment company executives, his scheming couldn’t be underestimated.

However... the more people are , the easier they are to buy off.

For someone like Ariana Lynch, who was domineering and had a bad temper like the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, how could she obediently follow Philip’s arrangements? No matter how famous he was, he was just a mere agent. Thıs text ıs hosted at novel~fire~net

Adopting a polite and gentle smile, Quinn Lockwood quickly stood up to warmly shake hands with Philip Chandler, showing none of the arrogance of a big star.

"I’ve heard of Miss Lowell’s reputation for a long time, and seeing her today is truly a refreshing sight." Philip Chandler’s eyes lit up as he looked at the elegant and graceful Quinn Lockwood.

Today, Quinn Lockwood wore a pure white knee-length dress, her slender waist cinched with a light blue ribbon. Her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, emphasizing her elegance and tranquility while maintaining her brightness. Her clear eyes were so radiant that they made the stars seem to lose their luster.

Philip Chandler suddenly thought it would be great if he were Quinn Lockwood’s agent. With his skills and her talent, they could soon dominate the entertainment industry’s best resources.

Since Quinn Lockwood wasn’t genuinely looking to collaborate with Ariana Lynch, and it wouldn’t be good if too many people knew she’d met with Philip Chandler, she first got his business card and left the agency, using the excuse of having forgotten to bring her card.

Sitting in the car for less than half an hour, Quinn Lockwood called Philip Chandler, arranging to meet him at a nearby cafe.

To prevent being photographed by any potentially lurking paparazzi, Quinn Lockwood chose a tea lounge with strict privacy and management standards.

As an agent, Philip Chandler naturally understood Quinn Lockwood’s desire to keep her schedule private, arriving at the cafe without much complaint or suspicion.

Filling a cup of tea for Philip Chandler, Quinn Lockwood straightforwardly said, "Mr. Chandler, I’m not here to discuss any drama collaboration."

Placing the teacup down gently, Quinn Lockwood laid a card and a document in front of Philip Chandler.

Though curious about why she had approached him, Philip Chandler knew not to ask too much when someone needed him.

They say good things take time, and the slower you are on this side, the more leverage you gain to secure greater benefits.

Setting the bank card aside, Philip Chandler opened the document and started reading. As soon as he skimmed the beginning, his eyes brightened.

"This is a nomination for Art Director at Creative Arts Media Co., Ltd?"

Seeing his seemingly excited reaction, Quinn Lockwood curled her lips slightly, her alluring lips pressing softly together, nodding faintly.

She had thought up numerous reasons to ask her brother to secure this position for her, knowing it would come in handy eventually.

"The current Art Director at Creative Arts Media is only temporarily in charge until a suitable person can take over. Once appointed, he’ll return to his original position." Quinn’s finger lightly tapped the table, smiling sweetly but with an undertone that sent a shiver through Philip Chandler’s heart.

It seemed he was completely at a disadvantage now...

"This card has three hundred thousand yuan to facilitate your potential contract termination with your current company."

Hearing this, Philip Chandler had a vague idea of what Quinn Lockwood wanted, and though he hesitated, he asked, "Miss Lowell, are you asking me to secretly undermine Ariana Lynch?"

Philip Chandler was indeed clever. From their brief exchange, he could piece together the situation, and Quinn Lockwood was grateful that Ariana always underestimated those she deemed beneath her.

If Ariana had bought off Philip first to go against her, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Couldn’t help but clap, Quinn Lockwood looked at Philip Chandler with admiration and said, "Mr. Chandler, you’re indeed smart, you’ve already guessed seventy to eighty percent of it."

Seeing that Philip Chandler wasn’t opposed to betraying Ariana Lynch, Quinn Lockwood continued, "Actually, it’s quite simple. I just need you, Mr. Chandler, to keep me updated on Ariana Lynch’s schedule so I can occasionally play small tricks on her."

"Also, when I need you to do something for me, I hope you won’t refuse..."

Philip Chandler pondered for a moment, a shrewd look in his eyes suggesting he’d thought of something, then he nodded in agreement.

Compared to boosting Ariana Lynch’s career, the opportunity Quinn Lockwood offered was once in a lifetime. If he missed it, he might not reach an Art Director position even after another decade of effort.
