This sentence alone was enough to make Hua Ling freeze in her steps.
She turned sharply, the arrogance she had worn so proudly vanishing in an instant. Her face twisted, shadows of rage flickering across it.
A sneer curled her lips as she spat out in a low, venomous tone, "Say that again." Her voice dripped with hate, her eyes narrowing with the kind of fury that made the air around her feel heavy.
Everyone in the industry knew one thing—mention Hua Jing's name in front of Hua Ling, and it was like striking a match near gunpowder. She would always explode.
Stories were everywhere about how Hua Ling had gotten artists from Blue Entertainment sidelined—sometimes even blacklisted—just for uttering Hua Jing's name within earshot.
It was an unspoken rule: if you valued your career, you never, ever brought up Hua Jing in Hua Ling's presence.
And yet Lin Qian had done exactly that. There was no turning back now.
