Chapter 28: Regina and Julia's Quarrel

Regina arrived quite late so the party had been going on for a while. The guests of the party were only a few acquaintances of Regina, the rest were mostly people in the entertainment industry that Regina had only met a few times.

Myrna was busy chatting with some music directors, so she just surreptitiously winked at Regina and continued. Regina understands that today's party is nominally organized to celebrate the release of her debut album, but in reality, this is a meeting and exchange for artists and singers to get to know each other, or build close relationships with music producers.

The entertainment world is inherently complicated, even a simple party has a purpose and an organizer. As the main character of the party, everyone came to congratulate Regina one after another, each time she had to drink a lot of alcohol. Regina's alcohol intake wasn't bad, but she drank so much that night that her mind was starting to get dizzy.

She sat down on the sofa and rested. At this time, a few acquaintances approached.

"Regina Lynne, congratulations on your debut album. It's been almost five years since you debuted, I thought you'd always be an unknown singer."

Julia and her close friends approached Regina with glasses of champagne to chat. They still follow a bold and seductive revealing style, especially Julia. She has naturally curly hair and extremely attractive red lips, however, her personality and her best friends are not so nice.

Julia is also a singer with many fans, although she is not as famous as Roxana, but has a certain reputation in the music market. If Roxana pursues music according to tastes and masses with a dynamic and vibrant style, Julia likes a seductive and wild music style. Her songs are famous for her erotic dancing and stripping, but few people care about the quality of her songs or not.

Even so, Julia was still very proud. That was why she confidently approached Regina and boasted, deliberately mocking Regina with false compliments.

“You and Myrna must have spent a lot of money renting this place, probably around five years of your friend’s salary.” After saying that, Julia smirked and took a sip of champagne, while her companions covered their mouths and giggled. "But I haven't listened to your song yet, it doesn't seem that hot, I can't even find it on the newly released song catalog. Looks like your agency only cares about you I've been neglecting you for a while. Poor thing. If you need to change agencies, please contact me. My company, although not as famous as yours, will at least take care of your music. At least... an album every three years, right?"

Julia's sarcastic taunt really touched Regina's pride. She felt like all her efforts and efforts just because of a mockery of Julia went to nothing. Regina's hand tightened around the wine glass.

Suddenly, she remembered the first time she met Darryl Rider. At that time, it was Julia who made that scary joke. During a celebration party for her song to reach the top 5 of the global charts, she and her friends made fun of Regina. Regina really regretted that day agreed to Julia and joined her party. Regina should have realized sooner that Julia was just an evil bully.

"It's not my turn to concern you yet.Whether my songs do well on the charts or not, they are all musical works with a lot of dedication and brainpower. I'm not like you, except for dancing and wearing tight clothes on stage, you can't even sing a complete sentence."

Regina couldn't stand it anymore and coldly replied. The sound of arguing between them was not small, although the music was quite loud, it gradually attracted the attention of people around.

"Hahaha, someone like you who used to be Roxana's backing vocalist thinks you have the right to judge me?" Julia laughed sarcastically and poked her long fingernails into Regina's shoulder to push Regina down onto the sofa, then she stood and looked down like a queen. "You should be grateful that everyone came to congratulate you on a failed debut album. I meant well to invite you to my company but you still criticize me, what a clueless girl."

Julia cleverly made those who were listening to their argument think that it was Regina who was aggressing with Julia.

Regina was very upset, but she was not a good quarreler before, her mother also taught her to be an upright and sincere person while she was still alive. Therefore, in front of Julia's attack and deliberate blame, Regina could not respond even if she was angry to the point of trembling.

Seeing Regina's exasperated expression, Julia was even more delighted. She started doing more outrageous things, getting everyone to make fun of Regina but thinking it was just a joke among friends. Her bullying is like a way of isolating and tormenting the victim until the victim can't stand it.

Just as Regina was about to get up and leave, Myrna rushed over, grabbed a glass of red wine and threw it at Julia's face.

"Bastard, you really like red, don't you? This is your present."

Myrna's movements were so fast that no one had time to react, even Regina standing next to her was stunned. Julia's eyes widened in disbelief, her hair greasy from wine, her make-up smeared like a demon. She gasped for breath, indignation and unbelievable fear rising at the same time. She screamed and was about to rush in to hit Myrna, but fortunately her close friends were able to stop her in time.

"Are you crazy? How dare you do that to me? Do you know who I am?" Julia said through gritted teeth.

"Why should I care about a mediocre singer like you?"

"Mediocre singer? Why don't you take a look at the singer you manage? Don't you think Regina is nothing..."

Julia was in the middle of talking when she stopped. Because Myrna was holding the phone out in front of Julia. In the phone is the largest and most prestigious chart in the world, and all the songs on Regina's album are on this chart. Not only that, Regina's title song even reached the top 1 after less than 24 hours. This is a record achievement that no female singer in the country has achieved, even Roxana or other famous female singers certainly dream of this achievement plowing Regina. Because so far, the highest achievement is Roxana's top 15 position, and she has only one song ever to enter this prestigious music chart. As for Julia, she was never even nominated for this ranking.

"Look closely, Julia. This is the world's top BB music chart, rated by top music experts and music production directors. All the songs on Regina's album are in the top 50. Who do you think is the mediocre singer between you and Regina?"

"This...how is it possible?"

Julia froze, she couldn't believe her eyes. Such an unbelievable thing actually happened, a singer as unpopular as Regina but overnight became a female singer with such an admirable achievement. Everyone was equally shocked, they took out their own phones and checked and found that at exactly 0 o'clock, when the BB chart had just been updated, Regina's songs immediately jumped in the rankings at a dizzying speed. Most people haven't listened to Regina's album yet, and now they're starting to wonder how great her musical album is to be able to do such a feat.

Everyone's eyes began to change, they looked at Julia like a stupid and obnoxious girl. That made Julia unable to stand it, she bit her lip and struggled to leave with her best friends.

"Is this… is it true?" Regina spoke softly, she still couldn't believe what Myrna said was the truth, she couldn't even verify it for herself.

"Of course it is. See for yourself."

Regina trembled as she grabbed her phone and watched, her songs did indeed hit the BB chart. Everything was like a dream, even Regina had to pinch her arm to confirm that this wasn't a drunken and self-imagined thing.

"We actually made it."

Regina cheered and hugged Myrna, laughing and crying with joy. At this time, everyone started rushing to congratulate Regina. They all understand that after today, Regina will no longer be an unknown female singer, she will become a star in today's harsh music market.
