Amelia was displeased. She even despised Queenie for looking down on others and exposing their shortcomings.
From the way Queenie had said it, it was as if the time that Amelia had spent with Jack was something shameful. Amelia wanted to tell Queenie that Jack was actually "Soul", the person who was once the hottest singer on the internet.
How could Queenie look down on Jack? Compared to the achievements Jack had made, Queenie was nothing.
But in the end, Amelia held it in.
After all, Jack's glorious days were a thing of the past. Perhaps if she shared that Jack was Soul, Queenie might not be shocked and would even mock him more. Or Queenie might even create worse rumours around Soul's so-called scandals.

Although she wasn't Jack's girlfriend, she knew that Jack wasn't the kind of person he was rumored to be on the internet. He had to have been framed.
As a student at the School of Music, Amelia had seen the dark sides of the entertainment industry. Perhaps it was because he was innocent that he was framed by the bad people.
Jack's only mistake was that he had threatened the interests of many others with his talents even though he had no connections. So, sacrificing him was the only outcome.
But no matter what, the level of fame and achievements that Soul once had was something unreachable for many people. No matter what his future held, Jack had already lived a great life.
Not far away, Ryan, the CEO of Ellen Games, was conversing with several CEOs of other gaming companies.
