If it were another woman who cuckolded him, he would have killed her.
However, considering that Eliza had tried to take revenge for charity, Chester would let the matter rest.
“Stop negotiating with me. That is the most I can compromise,” Chester said coldly.
“I can come back to the company, but I won’t sign the previous contract. I want the 60-40 profit split, with mine 60 and yours 40. Besides that, I want to set up my own studio with my own team, and I’ll be the one deciding on the kinds of films and advertisements I take up. I don’t want to be the company’s marionette anymore.” Eliza raised her head and said.
“How dare you continue to negotiate with me?” The impatience in Chester’s eyes was evident. “Letting you get away with it is the biggest compromise I can make.”
“At the end of the day, you’re angry with me only because of my subordinates, aren’t you?”
Eliza gritted her teeth, “what if I don’t care about my subordinates’ lives? I’ve sacrificed a lot for them. Besides, I’ve paid them for working for me, and we’ve all gotten what we wanted. I can’t possibly make sacrifices for them forever. Honestly speaking, many companies are headhunting me after I left Felix Media. Even Ferra Film Group has suggested an 80 -20 profit split for my contract.”
Chester glanced at her profoundly. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed like they could see through her.
Eliza bit her lip and met his eyes.
Chester narrowed his eyes. At that moment, he was not sure if he could get Eliza to obey him.
After all, no humans can resist temptations.
If Levi could set such a tempting price, Eliza might be swayed.
Eliza said with a low voice, “I’ll be glad if you can save me. But if you can’t, I won’t continue to stay in Felix Media. Frankly speaking, I won’t benefit from returning to Felix Media. Given that you’re trying to make Cindy popular, you’ll provide her with the best resources. If I don’t have any freedom, I’ll be taken advantage of again sooner or later, and if the conditions are the same as before, I might as well sign with Ferra. After all, Felix Media’s name is now down in the dumps.” “…Alright.”
Chester stared at her silently for a few seconds. After some consideration, he nodded. “I’ll agree with what you proposed. Come to the office in the afternoon and sign the new contract.”
With that, he turned around and walked out. When he was at the door, he looked back. “By the way, take all your things back from my place. If you don’t come over and get them, I’ll throw them away.”
“I want them. They’re all branded stuff. How can you throw them away?”
Those words escaped Eliza’s mouth, making her look like a miser.
Chester shot a sarcastic yet disdainful glance at her. After that, he strode away without looking back.
After leaving the clubhouse, Eliza felt nothing but relaxed.
A contract was nothing to her, and she could not care less about paying compensation for the breach of contract either, what mattered most was that Chester would finally stop threatening her and set her free.
Once she left Australia, she would no longer be at Chester’s mercy.
At that thought, Eliza scoffed and drove to Chester’s place.
Unexpectedly, just when she arrived at the door and was ready to unlock the door with the password, Chester walked out of the elevator behind her.
She secretly frowned. If she had known he was coming back, she would have chosen to get her things a few days later.
“I thought you were going to take a few more days to come over. I didn’t expect you to want them so eagerly.” Chester teased and walked up to her. “Please give way. I’ve changed the password.”
“Oh, you’ve even changed the password. It seems like you’ve been planning to tell me to get lost for a while now, President Jewell,” Eliza said sarcastically.
“Indeed, you’re the kind of woman that a man will get tired of.” Chester looked at her indifferently. “I used to find you interesting, but now, you’re so-so.”
Eliza laughed to herself. ¡®I never once thought you were interesting, you idiot.’
After entering, she took her luggage and stuffed all sorts of branded clothes and bags inside it.
When Chester passed by with his cup in hand, he mocked, “Didn’t you say sleeping with me didn’t benefit you at all? Aren’t those clothes, accessories, and bags bought with money?”
Eliza blinked, pretending to be confused. ” But my other sugar daddies would give me clothes and accessories when I sleep with them too. Also, they’ll give me many resources, houses, and luxury cars.”
(? ?
Eliza’s reply put the usually harsh Chester at a loss for words.
After packing everything, Eliza stood up, and a car key to a Lamborghini accidentally fell out of her pocket.
She picked it up hastily and glanced at Chester innocently. “I’m sorry. My new sugar daddy gave this to me.” ? ?
Chester’s grip on his cup tightened. He even had the urge to strangle Eliza. “Eliza, if you keep rambling on, believe it or not, I’ll make your sugar daddy disappear on the spot.”
“Don’t. I’ll stop talking.”
Eliza put up a panicked expression. She quickly packed her things and brought her luggage downstairs speedily.
The house was filled with a strong smell of perfume that she had left behind.
Chester opened the windows, but the smell did not dissipate.
Seeing that Eliza was about to leave, he shouted angrily, “Get lost. I don’t ever want to see you within a three-meter radius from me.”
Eliza shuddered, and she quickened her pace without looking back.
Once she was out, she immediately found skyler and opened the trunk. “Take and sell everything inside.”
Seeing the limited-edition bags and accessories inside, skyler gulped. “These are good stuff. Do you really want to sell them?”
“It was given to me by a disgusting person, so of course, I’m selling them.” Eliza’s gaze was filled with disgust, as though she was looking at a mountain of trash.
(C ))
“By the way.” Eliza changed the topic. ” Come with me to Felix Media in the evening to sign a new contract with President Daley.”
“Eliza, have you gone mad?” skyler widened her eyes and blurted out, “Why are you returning to Felix Media after all you went through to terminate your contract? It’s a living hell there.”
Eliza’s expression softened. She knew that Skyler’s concern was sincere. “It’s not the previous contract. Besides, the company has a hold on me…”
She did not mention what it was, but skyler knew it was her privacy, so she did not ask about it.
However, it must not be something ordinary if it could make Eliza compromise.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be my manager from now on.” Eliza patted Skyler’s shoulders. ” The company has promised for me to set up my studio, so I’ll have much more freedom than before.”
skyler had a bitter expression, and she still felt sorry for Eliza.
In the evening, Eliza and skyler went to the company.
No one dared to ridicule Eliza again.
When Eliza entered the president’s office, Shedrick said with a smile, “Eliza, I didn’t think we1 d be working together again so soon. That’s why I said I have a good eye. You’re truly suited to be in the entertainment industry. Winning the best actress award is just a matter of time.” ¡®
“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. Not only that, but I have to promote at least one of the company’s new actors or 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.
