Chapter 2607
“Eliza, let me tell you this. You’re the company’s artist. After signing the
contract, as the company’s employee, you should always place the benefit
of the company and its boss first. Think about it. Isn’t the company the one
that gave you what you achieved today? This is a piece of advice from me.
Take this 100 million
dollars and leave. After the scandal dies down, the company can still find an
opportunity for you to make a comeback.”
Eliza could not bear to continue listening. She swept all of Chester’s
documents on the table to the floor as though she was triggered. “Don’t
treat me like a fool. Is making a comeback that easy? I’m an A- list celebrity
now, yet you exploited me fully. How many years will it take for this incident
to die down? By that time, I won’t have the advantage of being young
anymore. You won’t like me either. The competition within the company is
fierce. How will there still be hope for me to make a comeback?”
“You have a death wish.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChester grabbed her arm and flung it hard. Eliza was thrown to the floor.
“Who do you think you are to throw things in my office? Haven’t you
learned from the lesson last time?”
Chester stared at Eliza from above. “I’m warning you. Don’t push your luck.
If you offend me, I’ll make it so that you won’t even have the chance to
make a comeback.”
“Don’t you feel even an ounce of guilt toward me?” Eliza was sprawled on the floor and looked at Chester in a
messy state.
“What’s guilt?” Chester laughed coldly. “ What are you even that’s worth me feeling guilty over?”
Eliza’s mouth hung open as if she had received a huge shock.
She deliberately used cheap makeup on her face that day. After crying just now, her makeup had smudged entirely
like a wet palette.
Chester was disgusted with even just another glance. “Take the card and leave. If you think it’s too little money, just
don’t take it.”
Eliza seemed frightened upon hearing that. She immediately got up and clutched the card.
Chester’s gaze became even more contemptuous.
‘Look at that, she said the money was too little and looked down on it, but she still clutched the card tightly in the
end.’
Women were all the same.
“That’s a good girl.” Chester’s expression looked better. “Eliza, I know the company is indebted to you in this
matter. Actually, if you had come in and talked to me in a good tone just now, my words wouldn’t have been that
harsh. Take it as the company owes you a favor this time. The company will return the favor to you in the future.”
Eliza sneered. It was akin to giving candy to patch things up after slapping someone several times. He was treating
people like fools.
She shook her head in tears. “I don’t want the company to owe me a favor. I can’t afford to offend you or the
company. I’m not very useful now anyway. I can’t bring in profit for the company either. I’m thinking of terminating
my contract.”
“Terminating the contract?” Chester lit the cigarette with a match and took a drag. Then, he said, “You’re not
thinking of sleeping with other people to make a comeback, right?”
“No.”
Eliza raised her head, panicking. She explained miserably, “I just don’t want
to remain in the company anymore. I used to be the top star, but compared
to Cindy, I’m now mocked and looked down on wherever I go. I’m nothing
now. I’ll only be ridiculed further by other people. If you think the company
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmis indebted to me, let me terminate the contract. At least I won’t be
receiving as many stink eyes.”
Chester did not say a word. He simply eyed Eliza with an investigative gaze
as though he was determining the truthfulness of her words.
“Moreover... I’ve lost all my worth now.” Eliza smiled pitifully. “As for making
a comeback... Young Master Jewell, have you seen any female celebrities
being able to make a comeback after scandals of them having an abortion
or being a homewrecker were exposed? Those broadcasting stations won’t
take the risk to invest in the dramas I’m in. If no one invests in my dramas,
the film directors won’t cast me at all. What else can I do other than be
ridiculed if I remain in the company?”
“If so, do as you wish.”
Chester dropped the cigarette ash and spoke coldly afterward.
He was a realistic person.
When Eliza made that request, he had already mentally evaluated her
worth.
Indeed, besides wasting the company’s money on her base salary, there
were no other uses in keeping Eliza.
