Chapter 221

Adrian Valdemar's acting clips went viral online.

Those exaggerated memes were wildly shared by netizens.

His wide-eyed and pouty screenshots were captioned with hilarious texts.

The comment section was flooded with laughter.

Sophia Laurent tapped her fingers on the desk, staring at the computer screen.

Adrian's career history gave her a headache—five years in the industry with zero notable works.

Yet his scandals piled up like a mountain.

A knock interrupted her thoughts.

Henry Chamberlain entered just as she switched the computer screen.

"Madam."

"What is it?"

Henry hesitated. "About the young master's allowance... Mr. Valdemar never interfered before."

Sophia frowned slightly. "Suspend it for now."

The Valdemars could certainly afford it, but Adrian's behavior had crossed the line.

Henry took the hint and excused himself.

The office fell silent again as Sophia continued reviewing Adrian's file.

In the entertainment circle, Adrian was infamous as a playboy.

He changed girlfriends more frequently than his clothes—from influencers to D-list celebrities, none were spared.

Those million-dollar watches and limited-edition sports cars served as his best "calling cards."

Though ridiculed online, Adrian earned a notorious nickname in the industry—"The Generous Casanova."

His lavish breakup settlements kept his exes from badmouthing him.

Sophia opened the shooting schedule for "Love You Forever."

Coincidentally, it was filmed at the same studio as "Empress."

She closed her laptop, deciding to visit the set tomorrow.

The stack of documents on her desk reminded her of Valdemar Group's backlog.

With the aging Patriarch Valdemar, many matters had been neglected.

Sophia picked up the top report and began reviewing it meticulously.

Meanwhile, Henry was en route to the sanatorium.

He clutched the surveillance footage copied from the security room.

The recording showed Adrian's arrogant demeanor, making Henry shake his head.

Though the Patriarch ruled with an iron fist, Alexander had always indulged his younger brother.

Henry needed to report this in advance to avoid future misunderstandings.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed sharply from the video.

Henry couldn't help but wince—Madam's strike was merciless.
