The villagers had dug the grave as Phoebe instructed. Just after one o’clock, she recited a spell, burned the painted talisman, and gestured toward the grave.
The day had been overcast, with heavy clouds looming despite the absence of rain. However, when Phoebe had completed the ritual, a look of astonishment spread across everyone present.
Above the newly consecrated burial site, an unusual glow shimmered in the sky, and a faint symphony of nature seemed to echo. Phoebe spoke calmly. You may lower the coffin now.”
Her voice broke the silence, snapping everyone back to their senses. Their gazes shifted toward her, now filled with even greater respect, realising she was remarkable.
Luciano Lester was utterly shaken. Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have never believed such a method of consecration was possible. In awe, he thought, ‘Incredible. Ms. Jenkins is truly extraordinary. Once we return to Solara City, I must share about her remarkable skills.”
Coincidentally, Luciano’s assistant captured this moment. Initially, he had been instructed to record the process of relocating the grave, mainly focusing on the placement of the tombstone as directed by Phoebe to avoid any mistakes. He never anticipated that he would capture such a miraculous scene instead.
After viewing the footage, Luciano had asked Phoebe if he could keep it. He also inquired if he could share the story with his friends once they returned to Solara City.
Phoebe had no reason to refuse such an opportunity to raise her reputation in the industry. The more directors, producers, and investors who sought her expertise in horoscopes, the more she could leverage the situation to secure additional resources for the artists in her studio.
After successfully relocating the grave, Phoebe and her team return to Solara City, Garrett Galloway had escorted Phoebe back to her apartment, his eyes full of gratitude.
“Chief, you put a lot of effort into this role. Thanks so much! The people in the studio had begun addressing Phoebe with a more familiar term, and Garrett had followed suit.
Luciano’s films were always in high demand, not just for the highly coveted and significant second male lead but even for supporting roles.
Most importantly, his former friend–now a rival who had once stepped on him to rise to the top–had also been actively competing for this role. With Phoebe securing it on his behalf, that rival was undoubtedly feeling the sting.
Phoebe smiled and said, “I’m your agent–it’s my duty to fight for more opportunities for you, so there’s no need to thank me. Go back and prepare well. You’ve been out of the spotlight too long; it’s time to return.
“I’ll discuss the promotion strategy with Mr. Lester, and the studio will ensure you get the attention you deserve. There’s no need to craft a persona–you’re fine just as you are. After this film, I believe you’ll secure your place among the most sought- after actors in your age group
Garrett had transitioned into a seasoned actor known for his craft. His mature and composed demeanor and striking good. looks still made him highly appealing to audiences.
Garrett smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll do my best.”
It was more than just a great opportunity. Out of respect for Phoebe, Luciano had offered him a salary that matched his former status in the industry.
The substantial payment would finally ease the financial strain he had endured over the past two years. Hence, Garrett was

genuinely grateful to Phoebe, seeing her as the mentor who had recognized his worth later in his career.
When his contract with Jenkins Entertainment expired, he attempted to contact other entertainment companies and agents However, reputable firms and top agents saw little chance of a successful comeback and politely turned him down.
Meanwhile, those willing to capitalize on his former fame only offered him harsh and unfavorable terms. Fortunately, on whim, Garrett had submitted his portfolio to Phoebe’s studio–and to his surprise, they accepted him. If not for that, he wasn’t sure whether he would have stayed in the industry.
He loved acting–it was the only thing he knew how to do. With his somewhat introverted nature, he had no idea what other career he could pursue if he had to leave the industry. Being able to continue acting was a great relief, and he was genuinely grateful for the opportunity.
A few days later, at Jenkins Entertainment, Garrett’s former agent and rival, Enzo Sanchez, was deeply unsettled upon hearing that the second male lead role had been finalized.
What had seemed like a sure thing slipping through his fingers was frustrating enough–but losing it to Garrett, someone they had deliberately suppressed, made it even harder to accept. The setback left them both bitter and humiliated.
The agent sighed and said. “Since the second male lead was out of reach, I had planned to secure your supporting role. But Mr. Lester was adamant–he refused to work with any artists from Jenkins Entertainment.
“It was supposed to be your breakthrough in the film industry, but who would have thought Garrett would get there first?” Enzo had already secured the Best Actor in Drama award, and their sights were set on winning the Best Actor in Film award
this time.
Although it was the second male lead this time, securing the Best Supporting Actor award would have laid a solid foundation for future success and paved the way for the next opportunity to compete for the top honor. Everything had been carefully planned, but this unexpected event disrupted everything.
Enzo furrowed his brow and said, “Who would have thought Garrett would get so lucky, signing with Phoebe’s studio? And she leveraged her identity as a horoscope master to win over Mr. Lester.”
After Luciano’s family encountered some issues, Phoebe helped resolve the situation. In the past few days, he had praised her within the industry, especially after she clarified that she would no longer work with artists from the Jenkins Group.
It caused quite a shift in the attitude of many actors at the same level. Over the past few days, they had been giving Enzo cold shoulders, feeling that he was responsible for them losing the opportunity to work with Luciano in the future.
He found it ridiculous. He couldn’t land the role because Phoebe had elevated Garrett. However, Luciano refused to work with any artists from the Jenkins Group because of Ollie.
The crowd feared to vent their frustrations at Ollie, so they took it out on Enzo instead. It infuriated him, but all he could do was stew in silence.
After all, dealing with Garrett wasn’t tricky, but going up against Phoebe was another matter. They had seen that Leon, the former top agent, still hadn’t returned to the company to mentor new talent. If the Jenkins family couldn’t handle Phoebe, there was no way they could.
The agent sighed in frustration and said, “Yeah, I don’t know what about Garrett that caught Phoebe’s eye, but she even decided to take him on personally.” As fellow agents, despite harboring some prejudice against Phoebe, he couldn’t deny that she was incredibly skilled at securing resources.
There was a legend in the industry that almost no resource was out of Phoebe’s reach. While this might have been an exaggeration, it reflected the truth that Phoebe wasn’t just a top celebrity–she had also risen to the top tier among agents
Enzo sneered. “Who knows what Phoebe’s preferences are? She seems to enjoy picking up washed–up or unwanted actors.” Enzo thought that was how Garrett ended up with such an opportunity.

The agent thought momentarily and said. “I told you not to hang around with Sienna. I suspect she’s been spreading her had
He had once helped Enzo betray Garrett and used his resources to elevate Enzo to the top tier. At first, it was because Enzo had managed to get close to Sienna, the favored daughter of the Jenkins family.
No one would have thought the tides would turn so quickly, with Siema being overshadowed by Phoebe, who had returned. to claim her position.
It was said that Elliot had kicked Sienna out of the Jenkins family. To them, she had become entirely worthless. At that point, it was too late for regret, all they could do was continue down that path to the bitter end.
