Chapter 46 : A Free Manager Hope watched as the two of them joked around , feeling a twinge of envy .
In both her past and current life , shed never had a particularly close friend .
Iris looked at Hope again , her suspicion growing .
She wondered if Hopes medical qualifications were simply a result of some kind of transaction or privilege .
Whether it was true or not there was only one way to find out ! Ms.Newton , aside from your ability to help .
with pregnancies , I assume you can treat other illnesses too ? Hope smiled at her confidently .
Of course .
1/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points As soon as Hope laid eyes on Iris , she guessed that Mrs.
Knapps mention of treating a friend was actually Iris testing her medical skills .
Well , why dont you check me ? Iris extended her hand .
Youre going to take my pulse , right ? Mm hmm .
Hope gently placed her fingers on Iriss wrist , her brow furrowing slightly as she studied Iris closely .
There was a hint of disbelief in her gaze .
You have some heart issues , Hope said with certainty .
Iris nodded slightly .
Ive had heart surgery before .
Hope pulled her hand back but continued to look at Iriss chest , her mind weighing 2/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points whether she should speak her next words .
Noticing the hesitation , Iris asked , Is there something else ? I think I need to touch your chest , Hope said .
Both Iris and Mrs.
Knapp froze in surprise .
Hope quickly explained , I have some doubts , and I need to confirm them .

You can tell all that just from a pulse ? Iris suddenly laughed .
Mrs.
Knapp looked back and forth between them , bewildered .
Iris pulled Hopes hand toward her chest .
Go ahead .
Hope placed both hands on Iriss chest and 3/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points pressed gently a few times , then furrowed her brow .
After a moment , the confusion in her expression faded .
Mrs.
Knapp looked like shed had an epiphany .
Iris , are your breasts implants ? And you didnt tell me ? Iris didnt answer but instead calmly watched Hope , as if waiting for her to explain .
Hope realized Iris wasnt trying to stop her from speaking , so she shared her judgment .
Theyre not implants .
Theyre fake .
Fake ? Isnt that the same as implants ? Mrs.
Knapp was puzzled .
Iris sighed .
She had hidden this secret for seven years , but she never expected it to be 4/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points exposed so easily .
But now , she was at peace with it .
There was nothing she couldnt say anymore .
I actually wear a prosthetic fake chest .
As long as you dont look too closely , its almost impossible to tell .
Mrs.
Knapp was stunned .
Wait , wait … Youre … youre a man ?! No , Im not a man , Iris said , but I did have a surgery to have it removed .
Hope paused , then turned to Iris .
But your body seems healthy .
It doesnt seem like youve had a condition that required a mastectomy .
It seems more like an injury that led to the removal .
Iriss eyes darkened as she remembered 5/14 Chapter 4646 : A Free Manager + 5 Points the traumatiatievevent from ten years ago .
Hert anger flarededpupcagain .
Ten years ago , wwhile I was studying abroad I was caught in a brbrutal terrorist attack .
I was slashed , my lydaeart was injured , and part of my body was lefed damaged .
The authorities hachduiclickly suppressed any information about the attack , so there was nono news online , andi verere few people knew atabout it .
As a victim , nonoreneveven brought it u up .
HHope immediately realized shehledtad touched oron a painful memory .
Im sorry , rydididnt meal toto … Itsts fine , Iris replied , her tone caiminl dont carareranymore .
Misr Knapp rushed forward , pulling Iris istoto 6 / DV Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points tight hug , her eyes red and unable to speak .
The room grew silent for a moment until Iris pushed Mrs.
Knapp away gently and looked at Hope with admiration .
Ms.Newton , youre much more impressive than I thought .
You dont have a manager , do you ? Iris suddenly asked .
I wonder if I qualify to be your manager .
Hope froze .
If she remembered correctly , Iris was one of the top agents in the entertainment industry Noah had tried desperately but failed to get her as his manager ! And now , she was offering to manage Hope ? It was like winning the lottery .
7/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points .
Wait … Youre not rejecting me because of my condition , are you ? Iris teased .
Hope waved her hands frantically .
No , no ! Its just that I think you might be a little overqualified for me .
And besides , as you can see , Im all alone .
I dont have a company , a background , a team , or even any fans .
She hadnt even registered her own name on Twitter , so she technically didnt have any fans .
With me , youll have everything you need , Iris said confidently .
Hope , now that you know my secret , if you dont agree , Ill have to send someone after you , Iris said with a mock threat .
8/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points Iris was so straightforward that Hope couldnt keep refusing .
She extended her hand .
Lets work together .
Iris shook her hand firmly .
Lets do it .
Since they were now partners , Hope decided it was time to be completely honest .
My goal in entering the entertainment industry is to make Noah and Sylvias lives miserable .
I dont have any particular aspirations to be a top actress or anything , so if you were hoping to make me a leading lady or a top celebrity , you might want to rethink this .
Hope was self aware enough to know her limits .
9/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points But another goal was also to prove to the Newton family that she could thrive without them she could be even more successful and dazzling without their influence .
Im your manager now , and your goals are my goals , Iris said with confidence .
I wont push you to be the top actress , but Im sure that with me , no one in the industry can slack off ! After their honest conversation , the atmosphere between them became much more harmonious .
After signing the management contract , Mrs.
Knapp had the driver take Hope home .
For the first time as a celebrity , Hope didnt expect that her entry and exit from the mansion had been captured by paparazzi .
10/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points The next day , Monday , Hope returned to the filming location of the show .
As she walked in , the staff started whispering , giving her strange looks .
Alex , in particular , couldnt resist throwing a sarcastic remark : Some people , no matter how much financial backing they have , still need to be careful .
Dont get yourself in trouble and drag others down with you .
Hope frowned .
What had she done ? Dont play dumb , Alex snapped .
You spent over an hour with your sugar daddy yesterday , and its all over Twitter As soon as the topic came up , Alex got angry .
He had dropped his new song yesterday , and 11/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points the company even bought him a trending spot .
But before it even stayed on the trending list for ten minutes , it got pushed off by Hopes .
He couldnt believe that people would care about some random rookies gossip .
He wasnt about to lose to Hope .
It had to be Hope buying her way onto the trending list after all , any kind of attention is still attention .
When youre desperate to get famous , who knows what youll do .
Hope was even more confused now .
Sugar daddy ? she asked .
Who was her sugar daddy ? Lily quickly reminded her .
Hope , didnt you check your phone ? Its all over the news ! Hope really hadnt ! Her phone had died after 12/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager + 5 Points leaving Mrs.
Knapps place , and with the rush to get to the set this morning , she hadnt had a chance to check it .
She opened her phone and found several messages from Iris .
[ Iris ] : Check Twitter .
Yesterday , when you went into Flourish Garden , paparazzi took photos of you and you hit the trending topic .
[ Iris ] : Its on black hot search , but we dont need to worry about clearing it up just yet .
[ Iris ] : For someone new like you , any exposure is good .
Black or red , its still exposure .
What you need right now is visibility .
[Iris ] : Once the heat dies down , Ill personally help you clarify things .
13/14 Chapter 46 : A Free Manager +5 Point Hope smiled .
Iris was right .
And I trust her completely .
