At the mention of the matter, Ryan’s mouth twitched. How would he forget? Last night, Mireya taught him a lesson, saying she would castrate him if he ever dared to behave like Stuart. “Yeah. Darling, I promise you that I’m a well-behaved man. I don’t usually interact with that kind of person.”
“Ryan, I trust you.” Mireya grabbed the chance to wrap her hands around his neck. Since she wanted the man to do her a favor, she had to be gentle.
Ryan’s eyes darkened. Then, he looked down and was about to kiss her.
Mireya immediately covered Ryan’s lips. ” Stop messing around. I have something to tell you. The impact Stuart’s matter has on society is terrible. Isn’t anyone looking into it?”
“It’s impossible to look into it. The issue lies in the immorality of an internal employee in Felix Media. Although it’s terrible, Stuart has stepped up, apologized, and resigned. Regardless of whether there’s an inside story to the matter, he has borne all the responsibility. What’s more, some of those women may have done it involuntarily, but who dares to speak up and admit it? They’ll even deny it, let alone speak up.”
Mireya scoffed in annoyance. “So what if he has apologized? He can continue to be a boss in secret, can’t he?”
Ryan let out a light sigh, feeling helpless.
“Ryan, didn’t you see what the netizens said? This issue has a bad influence on society. I think whether or not the relevant department can find out what happened is one thing, but it has to be investigated. Otherwise, more incidents like this will happen in the future. Also, you should get some mainstream media to criticize this issue. Think about it. Don’t you think Jewell Corporation has been too ambitious the last few years? First, they occupy the medical field, and now, they even want to control the entertainment industry. If this goes on, next time…”
Mireya bit her tongue and darted a glance at him. “You might’ve grown closer to Shaun and Chester because of my relationship with Cate, but if you let Jewell Corporation go on like this, no one in Australia can keep them in check anymore.”
Ryan gave her a profound look, “who told you all these?”
“What do you mean? why can’t I have come up with this myself?” Mireya stomped her feet.
“It’s unlike you to think of such things.” Ryan pinched her face. “Tell me the truth.”
“Fine. Eliza was the one who told me.” Mireya said huffily, “Chester is despicable. Eliza doesn’t like him, yet he has threatened her to stay by his side. Not only did he threaten her, but he also doesn’t show any respect for her. He only treats her as a toy. He’s too cocky.”
Ryan frowned as he, too, was disgusted with Chester’s behavior.
Relationships should be consensual. Some did it out of love, whereas some did it for money, but it would be meaningless if relationships involved threats.
“But Eliza is under Felix Media. If things get serious, it won’t benefit her.”
Mireya said, “Eliza doesn’t care. Plus, she’s Cate and my friend. Even if she can’t stay in the entertainment industry anymore, she can set up a company with US.”
Ryan poked her head gently. “You…”
“Are you going to do me this favor?” Mireya looked at him with a pout.
“Yes. Since you’ve put it that way, I must help.”
Ryan grinned as a dark glint flashed across his eyes.
In fact, the Snow family might take action to suppress Jewell Corporation even if Mireya did not bring it up.
Even though Ryan had always had a good relationship with Jewell Corporation, Chester was difficult to control in many ways.
Ryan did not do it earlier because there was no chance for him to do it using proper means.
However, things were different now.
The next day, Shedrick summoned all the artists to the office for a meeting in the morning.
Eliza attended the meeting as well.
Halfway through the meeting, Shedrick’s secretary hurried into the room and said something by his ear. Shedrick’s expression shifted a little before he left in a haste.
Then, everyone in the meeting room began to whisper. “Did President Daley leave so suddenly because something major has happened?”
“Maybe.”
Eliza stood up and took her bag. When she was about to leave, Cindy walked over arrogantly in her new maxi dress.
“Eliza, were you the one who hired netizens to accuse me on the internet?” Cindy gave Eliza a death stare. Her plan to make a comeback was almost successful until, over the last two days, many netizens claimed that she was having an affair with Stuart, which ruined her reputation again.
Even the director of the period drama, who had signed the contract with Cindy earlier, wanted to replace her with someone else.
“Do you think there’s a need for me to hire netizens?” Eliza’s lips curled into a faint smile. “The issue is so big. Even a blind man would notice it.”
“You’re just jealous of me, aren’t you?” Cindy clenched her fists, and as she approached Eliza, she let out a deep laugh. “Do you think you can beat me by sleeping with Chester? Dream on. To Chester, you’re just a tool for him to vent his feelings.
Look. I want to make a comeback, and he’s helping me with it. He even gave me your resources. Eliza, you can never compare to me. If you want Chester to sleep with you, I’m fine with it. After all, I might not be able to deal with him alone, considering he has such strong desires. From now on, I’ll be the elder sister, and you’ll be the younger one. Let’s take good care of each other.”
Slap.
Eliza lifted her hand and slapped Cindy’s face abrasively.
She had really trained her slapping skills as Cindy fell onto the floor from the slap, and her face immediately swelled up.
A commotion instantly arose in the meeting room.
Everyone had long known that the two of them were not on good terms with each other. However, they did not think Eliza had the audacity to slap Cindy.
“Eliza, how dare you slap me?” Cindy stood up while trembling, her eyes red. ” Apologize to me right away, or I won’t let you off.”
Hailey got so frightened that she promptly pulled Eliza up. “Quickly apologize.”
Cindy was not someone she could offend at this point.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it,” Eliza said directly.
Unexpectedly, Eliza apologized to Cindy without hesitation. Not to mention Hailey, even Cindy was dumbfounded.
Judging from Eliza’s personality, they thought that she would surely refuse to apologize.
“Look. I’ve apologized.” Eliza smiled. “So let’s forget it. Bye.”
Eliza was no fool. Slapping and then apologizing to Cindy was well worth it.
She did not mind apologizing to Cindy again after giving her another slap.
“Stop.” Cindy’s eyes reddened. “Look at the slap you gave me. Do you think you can solve this matter just by saying sorry?”
“But didn’t you say earlier that you’d forget it if I said sorry?” Eliza’s cold eyes blinked. “So are you… going back on your word now?”
That was when Madison stepped in and said with an icy voice, “Cindy’s face is swelling from the slap you gave her. Do you think you can pretend as if nothing happened by just saying sorry? Can I slap you and then apologize to you?”
“Yeah. If you agree, I can do the same,” Cindy quickly added.
“No way. I’m not a fool.” Eliza shook her head. “It seems like I’ve misunderstood her meaning, but I’m not to blame. After all, it was Miss Turner who didn’t express her thoughts clearly. As expected of someone who graduated from a diploma mill.”
“Watch your mouth. I graduated from a decent and popular university.” Exasperated, Cindy went to slap her.
However, Eliza clutched Cindy’s hand to stop her and slapped her again on the other side of her face. Now, both sides of her face were swollen.
Other artists who were watching the drama at the side gasped.
They could tell that the slap was painful.
Nevertheless, Eliza then said in a manner as if nothing had happened. “Look. Both sides are the same now. How wonderful. Your swollen face makes you look like you have more collagen, and you don’t look as old as you are too. You don’t have to thank me for this.”
“Ha!”
Those who were watching the drama failed to contain their laughter and chuckled.
Some people had not been able to stand Cindy’s arrogant look for a long time now.
Cindy was so infuriated that she burst into tears on the spot. Madison promptly pulled Cindy out. Then, she pointed at Eliza and said, “Fine. Remember this because we won’t let this go so easily. I’ll personally call President Jewell to have him teach you a lesson.”
“Go ahead. I’m his woman anyway.” Eliza said arrogantly, “But I’m different from Cindy. I prefer letting my capability speak, unlike someone who has no resources or money. She’ll have no choice but to wait to be forced out.”
After that, she turned around and left arrogantly.
Cindy stared at Eliza’s back with resentment. “You guys, quickly duplicate the surveillance footage and send it to President Jewell.”
