“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 is 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.
Moreover, Eliza’s scandal was much more severe than Cindy’s scandal previously. It would be fine to use money to let Eliza go on variety shows, but making a comeback in dramas might not be that easy.
Besides, even female celebrities with huge fan bases could be easily replaced. In another two years after the incident died down, there would surely be many young and pretty female celebrities who appeared in the entertainment industry. It would be too hard for Eliza to rise.
In addition, with Cindy’s character and the support of Madam Jewell behind her, she would definitely bully Eliza.
However, at that moment… Chester was truly sick of Eliza.
Terminating the contract was the best choice to prevent Eliza from coming to him bawling and complaining afterward.
“Thank you, President Jewell.” Eliza bit her lip hesitantly. “Then… After my contract is terminated, the condominium that the company rented for me will surely be taken back. Can I move to your place temporarily “Are you dreaming?” Chester was disgusted.
Eliza’s body trembled. “But you were the one who said I could go to your place whenever I wanted. You even bought so many clothes for me…”
“That’s in the past. Don’t you know that men are quick to change?” Chester said with an emotionless face. “Didn’t Monte teach you a lesson about this? Haven’t you learned your lesson?”
Eliza looked like she was greatly shocked. Tears silently fell from the corner of her eyes again. “How… How can you do this? Can I still look for you?”
Initially, Chester wanted to say that she did not have to come look for him anymore. However, after thinking about it, what if he had needs sometimes?
After all, compared to touching Cindy, touching Eliza did not make him feel as repulsed.
Even though he had already completely lost interest in Eliza.
“Wait for my news. You don’t have to come to my place if I don’t contact you,” Chester said indifferently.
Eliza was slightly disappointed. She thought he would no longer want to touch her.
It seemed like she still had to put in more effort.
“Then… I’ll be waiting for your message.” Eliza let a hint of disappointment flash across her eyes on purpose. “You can contact me anytime. I don’t have work now, so I’m quite free.”
Chester faked a smile and looked at Eliza. ” Eliza, when did you become so brazen?”
Eliza’s pretty face paled, she bit her lip and looked as if she was going through a tough time. “Young Master Jewell, many companies have terminated their contracts with me. I won’t have to pay all the compensation fees, right? If I have to pay, I ))
“Don’t worry. You won’t have to pay them. The company will handle it.”
Aside from money, she only talked about reaping benefits.
Chester was too annoyed to continue listening. “Leave. I still have to work. Don’t come to the company to look for me anymore.”
“I… I understand.”
Eliza replied softly before turning around. She left while turning her head back longingly.
Chester hated that look on her a lot. After she left, he immediately called shedrick. ” Draw up an agreement to terminate Eliza’s contract. She’ll no longer be our company’s artist in the future.”
Shedrick was shocked. “Terminate the contract?”
“What else?” Chester said coldly, “Eliza’s reputation is destroyed. The money she can earn can’t even reach that of the company’s entry-level employee. Why should we keep her?”
“…T-This is too cruel.”
shedrick felt a chill run down his spine. He did think Chester was cruel to Eliza, but he never thought he would be that heartless. After all, Chester did have sex with her before.
“She suggested it herself.” Chester was unconcerned. “It’s good that we’re terminating the contract too. We can avoid spending money to forcefully support her comeback. Besides, there are people who treat other people differently according to their status, especially Cindy. If we keep Eliza, Cindy might do something.”
“You have a point there…” Shedrick was convinced. “Cindy is capable of doing such things. You don’t know about this yet, but Eliza’s condominium address was leaked when she was heading out this morning. There was a group of anti-fans among the people. They blocked and smashed her car. Luckily, the police got there in time and nothing severe happened. The police investigated it just now. Those anti-fans were probably instructed by someone, but they won’t admit it.”
Chester was stunned. He frowned. He did not hear Eliza mentioning it when she came over just now. “You’re suspecting it was Cindy who did it?”
“I’m not very sure either.” Shedrick cleared his throat. Madam Jewell was very protective of Cindy, so he could not really say anything. After all, he was just an employee.
“Alright, I understand.” Chester pressed the middle of his brows. His hatred toward Cindy got even deeper. “You can go and arrange for the termination of the contract.”
Not long after Eliza left Jewell Corporation, she received Shedrick’s call. He told her to go to the company.
Half an hour later, she arrived at Felix Media.
As soon as she entered the door, a group of employees passing by pointed their fingers at her and discussed her behind her back.
“The hierarchy in Felix Media is going to change in the future. The status of the top star will most probably belong to someone else.”
“I heard the company has assigned Hailey to Cameron Leonard, she won’t be handling Eliza’s matters anymore.”
“Please. Hailey is one of the best managers in the company. Of course, she can’t waste time on a tarnished celebrity.”
“Ah, didn’t Eliza get together with President Jewell before? The difference in her treatment compared to Cindy is too big.”
“Can she even compare to Cindy? Besides, Cindy has only been together with President Jewell, unlike Eliza, who has been with other men before. Eliza even had an abortion for another man.”
Although Eliza was used to other people discussing her, those people’s words were getting increasingly absurd. They were even saying that she had an abortion. Eliza’s brows furrowed. Just as she was about to turn around, the sound of Cindy’s reprimands rang out behind her.
“What are you people discussing instead of working properly?” Cindy looked at Eliza mockingly. She smirked. “It’s not your place to talk about the fact that our otherworldly beauty, Eliza, had an abortion.”
When those employees saw Cindy, they immediately shuddered from being frightened. They said respectfully, “We’re sorry, Miss Robbins. We won’t talk about it again.”
“It’s good that you realize your mistakes. Get on with your work. ” Cindy waved her hand. Those who did not know anything would think that the company was hers.
Eliza did not disturb Cindy and watched her performance silently.
“Ah, I’m sorry, Eliza. They were talking about your rumors, so they should’ve apologized to you. But… Your status in the company is so low now.” Cindy approached Eliza with a smile. Her expression was smug. “That’s why people shouldn’t go downhill. Look, when you’re in a slump, even mere employees dare to give you attitude.”
“That depends on the person. Aren’t some people an expert in treating other people based on their status?” Eliza glanced at the bodyguards and assistant behind Cindy coldly.
It was her first time seeing someone have bodyguards in the company. According to the company’s rules, bodyguards were usually left at the entrance.
It seemed like Cindy had truly become arrogant.
“How dare you speak to Cindy that way?”
The bodyguards behind Cindy stepped forward and said haughtily, “Apologize to Cindy immediately, otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences.”
“Do you think I’m afraid of getting into trouble?” Eliza eyed Cindy coldly. “Cindy, Felix Media isn’t your company. Although I don’t know what method you used to make Chester so protective of you, you should know his attitude well. “
A short hint of fear flashed across Cindy’s heart. However, when she recalled Eliza slapping her arrogantly the other day, she laughed softly and walked toward Eliza. She lowered her voice and said, “Eliza, you might have yet to understand why your past scandals were all exposed in one night. To spare you from being in a daze, let me tell you the truth. Some time back, the internet was filled with the news about Stuart and me. Therefore, Chester and I came up with this idea to cover it up with your scandal and divert the attention. Look at how well Chester treats me. One sentence from me has caused your entire career to fall. This is the price for slapping me.”
Eliza was astonished.
After being in a daze for a few seconds, she quickly figured out that the idea was actually suggested by Cindy.
However, besides taking attention away from Cindy’s scandal, it could also make people forget about the incident of the company being fined.
