Chapter 443: Chapter 443

Just as Chenyang was wondering, Liu Yue suddenly came over and whispered, "She’s not a local from Yang City, and she didn’t just appear out of thin air."

"Oh? You know her?"

"I’m not the only one who knows her. Lin Jiji does too."

Hearing this, Chenyang’s eyes glinted. "Don’t tell me she’s Lin Jiji’s mysterious manager, Sister Rose?"

Liu Yue nodded. "That’s right. She’s the Sister Rose I told you about, the one with considerable influence and power in the industry."

At her words, Chenyang couldn’t help but once again size up the stunning woman walking toward them.

Sister Rose was tall with short hair that made her look sharp and capable.

She wore a form-fitting red dress.

The dress highlighted her deep cleavage and ample bust, which seemed ready to burst forth.

Her slender waist looked as if it could be encircled by a single pair of hands.

The curve of her rounded buttocks, hugged by the skirt, formed the perfect shape of a peach.

Her fair, smooth legs were encased in a layer of black stockings as thin as a cicada’s wing, making them appear even more long and alluring.

She wore flats, yet her steps resounded with each footfall as she approached. Combined with her unique, commanding aura, her presence was overwhelming.

In terms of figure, she was second to none among the beautiful women present.

In terms of looks, she might have been a fraction less stunning than Yao Yadi, but her subtle yet powerful presence could overshadow every other woman in the room. This unique charm instantly made her the center of attention the moment she appeared.

All eyes were on her.

It was as if the heartbeats of every man there pulsed in time with the soft sound of her footsteps.

She had yet to say a word, but the simple act of walking forward commanded respect.

This sight made Chenyang unable to help but comment, "When you were praising her before, I thought you might be exaggerating. But now that I’ve seen her for myself... this woman is truly extraordinary."

Liu Yue whispered, "Sister Rose is a force to be reckoned with. Not only is she resourceful and well-connected within the entertainment circle, but she also holds considerable status and influence in politics and business. Since she’s here now, she must already know what happened. She might not be able to do much to salvage Lin Jiji’s situation, but I doubt she’ll let you off the hook easily."

"So, she’s here for me, then."

"Yes. You have to be extremely careful, especially with your words. Don’t give her any leverage. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. When it comes to twisting the truth, she’s practically Lin Jiji’s master!"

"In that case, I’m eager to see what she’s got."

"Don’t underestimate her."

Liu Yue wanted to say more, but Sister Rose was already upon them. To avoid revealing her collaboration with Chenyang, she quickly backed away.

An instant later, Sister Rose was standing before Chenyang.

"Hello, Doctor Chen."

"I’m not doing so well," Chenyang replied, his expression indifferent. Despite his earlier nonchalance, he was internally on high alert around this woman.

Zhang Wuji’s mother once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

While Chenyang felt the saying was a bit biased, he had to admit that beautiful women did indeed make it easier for men to stumble.

Sister Rose seemed to read his mind and said with a smile, "You don’t have to be so tense, and there’s no need to be so hostile toward me. I came here for one reason only: to apologize to you."

Chenyang chuckled. "You haven’t done anything to wrong me. What do you have to apologize for?"

"I haven’t, that’s true. But an artist I manage has wronged you. As his agent, I have a responsibility and an obligation to apologize."

"For Lin Jiji?"

"Yes."

"Then don’t bother. I won’t be accepting any apology from him, or from you."

Hearing this, Sister Rose remained unperturbed. After a brief pause, she smiled. "Since you won’t accept an apology, how about we make a simple deal instead?"

"What kind of deal?"

"The information you have—I want it. One million per piece."

"One million per piece?"

"That’s right. This is absolutely the highest price on the market. I guarantee you won’t find a better offer anywhere else."

As she spoke, Sister Rose’s expression was calm, a faint smile on her lips. But even this simple expression conveyed a sense of supreme confidence and certainty.

Chenyang knew one million was an incredibly high price, and he also knew Sister Rose wasn’t bluffing.

However, he refused almost without a second thought. "Sorry, but I refuse to make a deal with you."
