Chapter 174 Hans’ Threat
Hans strode over from the lounge, several staff members trailing behind her.

Hans’s assistant puffed up with arrogance. “Ms. Karina, our Hans is here today to discuss Skyreach Group’s new drama with you p>
Karina’s expression didn’t change. “I don’t recall Ms. Hans being cast in this project p>
Hans’s face darkened. She was a top-tier star now, used to people bowing to her status. Still, she forced a smile. “Exactly. That’s why I came to speak with you personally. I wonder if you might have time now p>
Wayne’s tone remained courteous. “I’m sorry, Ms. Hans, but all roles in our productions are finalized in advance. There won’t be any changes p>
That had always been Skyreach Group’s rule. Every major actor was personally confirmed by Lillian well before shooting began. No last-minute additions were ever accepted.
Hans hadn’t expected such blunt refusal. She had come precisely because Skyreach’s dramas had dominated ratings this past year. At her level, others normally begged her to star in their projects other way around.

Her assistant’s voice grew sharp, carrying a thinly veiled threat. “Ms. Karina, I think you should reconsider. Having our Hans join your production would bring enormous exposure. Perhaps you should think carefully before refusing p>
Lillian’s lips curved into a mocking smile. “How remarkable. I never knew a mere assistant could threaten the general manager of Skyreach Group. Tell me, where did you get the courage p>
The assistant sneered proudly. “Hmph. Hans is giving you face by coming here herself. Do you even realize her current fame and market value? Companies are lining up to invite her p>
Since Hans’s meteoric rise, her assistant had grown increasingly arrogant, convinced that with her fame they could demand any role. To their shock, Skyreach wasn’t caving.
Hans flipped her hair with a haughty motion, standing silently as if her presence alone should be enough.
But Lillian’s voice cut through the air, cold and clear. “Then I must apologize. Skyreach Group can’t afford Ms. Hans’s reputation. Our productions demand a certain level of acting skill. Anything less would betray the audience. With Ms. Hans’s abilities… well, I’d rather not risk Skyreach Group’s name p>
“You-what did you just say? Did you dare claim I have no acting skills?” Hans’s composure snapped, her voice rising with fury.
Lillian’s smile turned razor-sharp. “That’s right. Tell me, Ms. Hans, do you have any work worth remembering p>
“You!” Hans was livid. Since entering the industry, her path had been smooth, paved with deference and praise. Never once had she been humiliated in public

Wayne chuckled lightly. “Ms. Hans, I suppose we truly aren’t fated to work together. But with your

Hans shot Lillian a venomous glare before turning on her heel. Her assistant glared as well, barking, “We’ll see about this,” before hurrying after her.
Karina gave the two men a brisk pat on the shoulder. “Enough. Let’s continue upstairs. Too many people. down here.” She led Lillian toward the elevator.
Just before stepping inside, she turned to her aide. “Replace that receptionist. Someone with that kind of attitude doesn’t belong at Skyreach. And find out who hired her – they’re fired too.” Without another. glance, she entered the elevator.
As the group disappeared from sight, the lobby buzzed with excitement.
“Damn, who was that girl just now? She’s incredible p>
“Right? Did you see? Even the iron-faced Karina had tears in her eyes p>
“Mr. Morgan and Ms. Karina looked completely overwhelmed p>
A woman in work clothes, clearly an old employee, hushed them with a warning. “Listen carefully. Don’t mess with that girl. I don’t know exactly who she is, but I’ve seen her before. Every time, she went straight to the top floor. And you all know what’s on the top floor, don’t you p>
