Revenge Of The Cannon Fodder Villainess

Chapter 148 - Fight (1)

Kaiser Grayson was, in a word, furious.

The reason for his anger could be attributed to one simple woman who was having the time of her life without a single concern in her pretty little head.

Platinum Entertainment had the special privilege of getting show recordings before they aired so they could manage their artists' images and ensure nothing controversial was posted. With Valentina going on Weekly Idol, naturally, he told Roman to request the footage as soon as it was done and had it sent to him.

It wasn't for anything malicious since his lawyers would be reviewing it as well, but since he was a perfectionist, he just wanted to make sure that they wouldn't miss anything that could possibly harm her.

That was his first mistake. Maybe things could have been different if he hadn't seen it. But he had.

As he watched Valentina on the variety show, his mood continually dropped straight to the ground, and the temperature of his office quickly became a blizzard, causing even his usually bold assistant to become fearful and avoid him for the remainder of the day.

He knew her and the Grenier boy were close and supposed to act closer, yet he didn't like it one single bit.

Seeing Valentina laughing happily while having tangible chemistry with Rio and playing games with him left a bitter taste in his mouth. Adding in the fact that the male host was not only being flirtatious but openly making advances that Valentina laughed off with that awkward smile she had when she wanted to avoid something, his eyes began seeing red, and he noted the man's name down.

The worst part, though, was seeing Rio perform after the rounds of questions.

To others, it would seem as if he were just staring at the audience, but he could tell that his gaze was focused solely on Valentina. His eyes were locked with hers numerous times, not to mention the lyrics of the song.

To him, it sounded like a love confession and a declaration of war.

He wanted to immediately turn off the screen and focus on his work but forced himself to watch everything, including Valentina, denying that she was in a relationship with someone.

Although he understood her reasoning, it was still something that displeased him greatly.

So he was upset and very, very angry. Mostly at Rio Grenier but partially at Valentina. He was someone with a direct personality, both in life and business, and going about things in a circuitous manner grated on his nerves.

He hadn't been lying to Valentina when he said he handled issues much bigger than this on a regular basis. If she would allow him, a single word from him to Black Rock and they would offer up her contract. Even if they jacked up the price, he could afford to pay and break it off.

If she just came out and said that she was his, a lot of her issues would be resolved, her career would be nothing but smooth sailing, and people like Aaliyah and Antonio Salazar couldn't mess with her even if they tried.

But she wanted to do it herself and insisted on him not interfering.

Many pens had met their untimely end while he was restraining his anger at Rio since he couldn't bear to be upset at Valentina.

Fine. He would comply even if he was angry about it.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down. He couldn't lose his temper and be jealous. That never ended well for anybody.

Things were going well between them, there was no need to let an unrelated third party gain a foothold.

Returning from the office early, he had messaged her with no response. Approximating the time, it would take for her to get back, he had ordered her favorite spicy chicken and even put Luca to bed early while he waited for her, yet there was no sign of her coming back. The food turned cold, and his heart was doing the same.
