Chapter 85

The manager bowed respectfully. "Director Lowell, Mr. Lowell, I'll attend to other matters now."

Soon, only Richard Lowell and William Lowell remained in the office.

Richard stared at the rising popularity metrics of "River Banquet" on his computer screen, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.

"Nathan, we owe this acquisition to your connections. Snatching the rights from Quentin Shaw wasn't easy..."

His expression suddenly darkened.

"That Sophia actually opposed buying this project. I wonder what game she's playing."

William scoffed dismissively.

"What business acumen does a woman have? Writing a few songs doesn't make her an expert."

"When "River Banquet" released its synopsis, every studio was scrambling for it. Lowell Entertainment secured it for thirty million."

Richard swirled his wine glass triumphantly.

William nodded. "Quentin's team is highly sought-after. Good thing we moved fast."

The mention made Richard grumble again.

"Sophia wanted me to wait? For what? I've had no projects for half a year!"

"What does she know about business? Women are so indecisive..."

Meanwhile, at the "We Are Singers" recording set.

After receiving confirmation from Nathan and Sophia, Adrian Valentine's smile widened.

"Who would've thought the revered 'Composer T' is just a fraud. Without Sophia, you're nothing."

His expression turned sharp.

"Nathan, if "Spring Love Song" and that unedited "Child's Play" represent your true skills, you're no match for me."

He paused, then added coldly:

"Though it's your family matter, I must say - you're a terrible brother."

His words ignited the internet.

Live comments flooded the screen:

How dare Adrian criticize others?

Publicly bashing competitors shows poor character

Their sibling relationship is none of his business

Nathan's fans tried defending him but were overwhelmed by Adrian's supporters:

He's just stating facts

Without Sophia, Nathan is indeed nothing

Adrian's defending his idol. Jealous much?

As the online war escalated, Lucas Sheridan brought Sophia backstage.

He showed her the promotional articles praising "River Banquet" while disparaging her.

Sophia's brow furrowed slightly.

She studied Lucas quietly, lost in thought.
