Chapter 2622
“Forget it. Since your Cindy also wants the best actress award, I won’t compete for it
with her. If I accidentally snatched it away from her, there’d be trouble for offending
President Jewell again.”
Eliza’s harsh reply made Shedrick feel awkward.
“There’s nothing that’s yours or ours. Since you’re back in Felix Media, we’re still a
family.” With that, Shedrick took out a contract. “Chester has told me about your
agreement. Come, sign this.”
Eliza opened the contract and read it for five minutes before she threw the document
aside. “President Daley, you’ve set so many traps for me in the contract. The profit is
supposed to be split 60-40 between the company and me. However, it’s mentioned at
the back that if the resource is recommended by the company, it has to be a 50-50
split. Also, there’s an addition to the clause on page 37 that I have to film at least one
of the company’s movies and one advertisement arranged by the company every year.

actresses into the production I’m in whenever I’m filming. The most ridiculous thing is
that they have to have a specific role in the drama, such as the second female lead or
second male lead.
How is this contract of yours different from the previous one?”
Shedrick was embarrassed. He already had the lawyer place those clauses in
unnoticeable places. It was a contract with 60 to 70 chapters, and he did not expect
Eliza to discover them all in just a matter of minutes.
Suddenly, he realized that he had underestimated Eliza too much in the past.
“Eliza, there’s quite a difference. The company has agreed for you to set up your own studio, and the profit split is
also 60-40. The conditions are considered not bad,” Shedrick said brazenly.
Skyler could not listen to him anymore, and she retorted, “Filming a movie takes three months at least, so Eliza
would at most shoot two movies in a year. On top of that, she’ll have to film another one for the company, and it’ll
be a 50-50 profit split? Moreover, the salary for the company’s movies has always been meager. President Daley,
we’re no fools.”
Eliza stood up, irritated. “There’s no way I’ll act in a movie for the company, but I can, although reluctant, accept
taking in new actors and actresses for the company. If you guys disagree, there’s nothing left to talk about.”
Eliza was about to leave after speaking.
“Wait, Eliza. Everything can be discussed.” Shedrick quickly stopped her. They discussed for about half an hour
before finalizing the contract.
Only after Eliza left then did Shedrick call Chester. He said dejectedly, “The contract has been signed.”
“Are you not satisfied with it?” Chester could hear that Shedrick did not sound pleased.
Shedrick smiled bitterly and sighed. “Eliza is too clever. She discovered all the traps I added to the contract. But
luckily, she later agreed to take in new actors and actresses.”
“Mm.” Chester did not want to talk about that woman anymore, so he hung up. • • •
In the meantime, not long after Eliza left the company, she received a secret call on her personal phone.
“Miss Robbins, our paperwork for leaving the country is finally complete, and we can leave tomorrow.”
“Leave as soon as you can.” Eliza let out a breath of relief. It was evident that those people had not been able to
leave Australia because Chester was keeping an eye on them behind the scenes. With them gone, Chester would
not be able to threaten her again.

guarantee that we’re at your beck and call.”
“There’s no need for that. You’ve done everything I’ve requested you to do. I just want you guys to leave Australia
and change your names so no one can find you.”
After ending the call, Eliza felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.
She finally did not have to put on an act in front of Chester anymore.
During that period, even she was disgusted with herself.
In the villa, Skyler passed a thick bundle of scripts to Eliza.
“Lizzie, these scripts were sent over by many famous directors. With your increase in
popularity, many good scripts are presenting themselves to you.”
Toward the end, Skyler laughed excitedly. “Let’s choose a good script and try to win the
best actress award next year.”
After glancing at the scripts indifferently, Eliza said, “ Reject them. After finishing my
current movie, I have no intentions of filming for the time being.”
“What?” Skyler was dumbfounded. “This is such a great opportunity. Lizzie, have you
gone mad?”
