Chapter 223: Carol’s Determination

Looking at the genuinely puzzled expression on Carol’s face, Doreen finally began believing that Carol did not know about what she was speaking of.

So, she took a deep breath before she said, “It is like this, did you not previously tell me that you asked that kid that we met in Brenton City for help?”

To this, Carol nodded, as she silently waited for Doreen to continue.

“I’m pretty sure that he is the one who made the move this time. After all, we don’t have any other connections, and I don’t believe that there is anyone that is just going to take action for you for no reason.

Anyway, I just got informed that first of all, the resources that you will be receiving will be dramatically improved. As for the margin, it is not clear for now, but you are definitely going to be valued within the company.

So, you can expect your popularity to be boosted by the company, and the songs that you will be getting from now on will be even better.

As for the issue regarding the concert, it has already been dealt with. Brenda has been recalled to the company, as there is something that she is supposedly required to deal with.

As for her family, who holds 6% of Star Media shares, they will no longer be able to oppress you. After all, the shares that they previously held have already been bought off.

And you cannot guess who it is that intervened. It is actually the biggest security firm in the country, Vanguard corporation.

They are the ones that purchased the shares, and gave the Kupa family a warning, not to target you. And using the capacity of the shareholders of the company, they asked for more resources to be assigned to you.” Doreen explained with great enthusiasm.

When she heard the news, she was also dumbfounded, the same expression that Carol was having at the moment.

She just could not believe that something like this could happen. After all, she had been Carol’s agent and manager since Carol began her career.

As long as Carol succeeded, she would also succeed. But if Carol failed, she would too. That was unless she decided to look for another artist. But, she was a person of character, possessing great loyalty. She had already promised Carol that she would help her reach the top.

So, unless Carol was one of the most popular singers in the world, she would not abandon her.

Carol on the other hand was also left dumbfounded by the news that Doreen had broken to her. She just could not believe her ears.

At the same time, she began doubting if it really was true that Michael was the one who had helped out. Was it possible that it was one of her admirers, who possessed an incredible background, that took action?

But the possibility of something like that happening was extremely low. If that person had a big background, they would most probably try suppressing her, so that she could give in, without giving her much.

Something like this had happened on several occasions, but Carol had never given in. It was no wonder that she was still struggling until now.

If not for the fact that her voice was extremely pleasant to hear, and she had quite a fun base for herself, she would have already quit this profession.

As she was thinking of this, she then thought of Adrian. That person, he was considered to be above the current CEO of Sky Technologies, Martin.

But even then, Michael was able to ask him to teach her. This in itself showed that Michael’s background was incredible.

So, there was a great possibility that Michael was the one who had taken action. But then again, she thought of something else.

Just how great was Michael’s background, to the extent that he was able to influence the biggest security firm in the nation?

That was Vanguard Corporation! It was located in the capital city, where only giants could be found. While it might be true that the market value of Vanguard corporation was not as high as the other big firms, the connections that it had could not be underestimated.

The security guards from Vanguard Corporation had spread to many big conglomerates and companies, which was a connection that they had. If they used those connections, they could easily shake the entire nation.

“How sure are you that he is the one who took action? After all, that is Vanguard Corporation that we are talking about.” Carol expressed her doubt.

Even though she believed that Michael had the capability of helping out, this was just too much, right? After all, for someone who was in Brenton City, it would not be that easy for him to be able to control a giant from the central province, right?

“What do you know? Just yesterday, there were rumors that most of the shareholders of Vanguard Corporation sold their shares to a mysterious person.

Until now, it is unknown who it is that bought the shares of Vanguard Corporation. But still, there was an announcement today, saying that great changes were going to happen at Vanguard Corporation in the coming days.

Additionally, it is reported that today, the secretary of the CEO of Vanguard Corporation, was the one that directly contacted Star media about your issue.

But as you know, you definitely don’t have any connections with the secretary of Vanguard Corporation, or the CEO himself. That only leaves the only option as this mysterious shareholder, who is most probably that kid, Michael.” With hands on her hips, Doreen explained.

Carol went silent for quite a while, digesting this information. Even though it was not yet confirmed that it was indeed Michael who was behind the purchase of the shares of Vanguard Corporation, the probability was there.

And, just how many coincidences were there in this world? She had previously asked for Michael to help, and he said that he would. And on the following day, the issue was completely solved?

As she thought of that, she went to the bedside cabinet, before taking her phone, and making a call. She was contacting Michael.

After a few rings, the call connected, “Yeah, is something up?” Michael’s voice came through the phone’s earpiece.

Carol was a little overwhelmed, as she took a deep breath before she asked, “Michael, are you the one who helped me? Are you the one who was involved with the purchase of the shares of Star Media?”

With her heart pounding, she intently waited for Michael’s response, in order to be sure.

“Oh, about that? I thought that that was the simplest solution that I could use to deal with your issue. Since it is resolved, I suppose that you are bound to have a smooth sailing from now on, right?” Michael’s nonchalant words sent waves of emotion within Carol.

She was completely overwhelmed. It was not only due to the kindness that Michael had shown her by helping her out, but by also the capability that Michael had.

It seemed that many things regarding Michael could not be judged according to logic. After all, for him to be able to ask Adrian to train her, would he himself, just being 18 years, so skilled at singing, both in terms of action and theory, it was just shocking.

And now, judging from the way that he was speaking, it seemed that the issue regarding Vanguard corporation was not much of an issue. By now, it was already confirmed, Michael was the one who had purchased the shares of Vanguard Corporation.

At this moment, a thought appeared in her mind. Was it possible that Michael had purchased the shares of Vanguard Corporation just to help her out? Just the thought of this was astonishing.

But as soon as this thought emerged in her mind, Carol immediately shook her head. Maybe this was just a coincidence. After all, it was not as though the relationship between the two of them was that close, for Michael to do something this big, just to help her out.

Instead of buying the shares of Vanguard Corporation, he could much more easily acquire the shares of star media, which were cheaper. That way, he could still solve her problem.

“Thank you so much for your assistance. In the future, in any way that I can help out, if you need me, I will not hesitate. After all, I really have nothing on me that I can use to repay you. I even offered to be your girlfriend before, but you refused, so, all that I can do is to make this promise.” Carol expressed her gratitude, and in the end, she joked slightly.

And as she thought about the time that she had claimed that she was willing to become Michael’s girlfriend, as long as he could sing better than she could, a slight blush of embarrassment appeared on her cheeks.

“No worries, it was just a by the way. Anyway, I still have something to deal with, so, I got to go.” Michael responded, before he ended the call.

Carol continued standing there, as her imaginations went slightly wild. But still, she managed to reign in her thoughts and emotions, as she became determined.

Since she had been given an opportunity, she would have to use it. She would have to make sure to succeed, to become popular. As long as she was popular enough, maybe there was going to be a chance for her to be able to repay Michael by doing some endorsements and something like that?

Additionally, she thought, after this concert, she would go back to Brenton City. She still needed a few more lessons, so that she could improve further.

“Hey, have you confirmed yet? Do you know what other assets he holds?” Doreen’s impatient voice suddenly brought Carol back to her senses, as Carol suddenly remembered that she was not alone in the room.
