Chapter 48
“I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you! Let me tell you this, I’m not quitting the industry, and I won’t let this slide. I’ll gather evidence regarding the posts on my account and sue you for
defamation!”
“Go ahead, sue me! But look at your situation. You owe ten billion in contract termination fees. Besides, you’ve offended the Farrell family and Ms Smith. Who’s going to stand by you?
“Mr. Farrell has already abandoned you! All your resources are frozen, and no one will dare to work
with you as long as you don’t pay the termination fee. Daphne, do you truly think you can survive in this industry without me or the Farrell family? Dream on!”
“Hugo, you’re nothing but a lap dog who relies on the Farrell family’s favor to throw your weight. around! What are you even worth without me bringing money to the company? Don’t bark at me! I can’t wait to see your downfall.”
With that Daphne hung up the phone without waiting for him to speak.
She prided herself on being an emotionally stable person. However, she had witnessed. shamelessness and bottomless cruelty since her rebirth, and she sometimes felt on the verge of a heart attack from sheer rage.
She slapped her flushed face lightly before calling Ava again. “Ava, can you help me arrange a meeting with Mr. Anderson as soon as possible?”
“Mr. Anderson? Which one?”
“Who else could it be? Mr. Anderson from Starstruck Entertainment.”
“What do you need with him?”
“It’s important. Just set up the meeting.”
Ava was efficient as always. She called back with an update shortly after. “It’s set for 3:00 pm at the cafe we used to frequent. I’ll pick you up at 215 pm.”
Billy Anderson was the general manager of Starstruck Entertainment and the second–largest
shareholder.
He and Hugo had long–standing conflicts due to their differing management styles and principles. The entire company was aware of their feud
The company’s annual profits were exceptional when Daphne was still in Starstruck Entertainment, and Billy had endured Hugo’s antics for years as his shares were smaller than his.
Billy was relatively upright compared to Hugo, who was power–hungry and oppressive He was the key to terminating her contract successfully
Daphne began to get ready after the meeting was arranged.
She noticed she still had time and was about to order delivery on her phone when the doorbell
rang.
She looked through the peephole and saw the delivery man from her favorite restaurant. She asked him to leave the food by the door before opening the door and taking the food inside after he
left
She wondered who had sent the food when Sebastian’s voice message came through. “I ordered a meal for you. It’s all your favorites. You’re welcome Enjoy the meal, Ms. Yeager.”
“How do you even know what food I like?” Daphne was puzzled Somehow, Sebastian always seemed to know her preferences perfectly.
“Don’t trouble yourself with that. Just enjoy the meal and leave the rest to me. Don’t worry, things will turn around.”
Her foul mood lightened a little, and a rare sense of comfort settled over her.
She found all her favorite dishes when she opened the container.
She snapped a photo and sent it to Sebastian before sending a sticker that expressed her gratitude.
