Chapter 51
“Go ahead with your plan. I’ll back you up if anything goes wrong.”
Sebastian’s words struck a chord deep in Daphne’s heart. It was the first time she truly felt the warmth of having someone she could rely on since her rebirth.
His words warned her heart even though she had handled the matter herself and didn’t need anyone to step in.
She looked at him eamestly and sincerely without thanking him wethally. It felt too formal and distant to thank him, and she didn’t want to upset him again. Therefore, she decided to keep her gratinade in her heart “Alright. I’ll head back now, Sebastian,”
The news of Starstruck Entertainment’s leadership change dominated the head nes three days later.
Billy had leaped to the top with 55% of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder while Hugo was demoted to second place.
Daphne was surprised by Billy’s efficiency
Thinking about it, she realized that Billy had likely been holding back for years under Hugo’s suppression, waiting for the right moment to strike. Perhaps all the pieces had already been in place, and she had simply handed him the critical tool
she thought that Billy was truly brilliant
She received a notification from the court on the same day. Starstruck Entertainment had withdrawn their lawsuit against her and even paid all prior litigation fees. Starstruck Entertainment also released a statement announcing an amicable termination of her contract
The statement was nothing short of intriguing. “Ms. Yeager’s contract was terminated prematurely at her request. Based on her commercial value, she would ordinarily owe the company a breach of contract penalty of ten billion dollars
“However, the company has decided to reduce the penalty to just one dollar in recognition of her significant contributions during her time with us. Our parmership has ended trom this point onward. We wish each other success and a bright future!”
The announcement went viral, causing servers to crash from overwhelming traffic.
Fan 1: “Finally! She’s tree from that disgusting excuse of a company!”
Fan 2: “That’s so funny! One dollar breach–of–contract fee? Who came up with that? What a genius!”
Daphne felt refreshed and at ease as she read the supportive comments online.
Hugo called her at the mount
There was no need to guess what he was going to say. It would be nothing more than furious yelling and harsh insults,
She didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore as it would just ruin her mood. Therefore, she declined the call without hesitation before blocking his number.
Many things had taken unexpected turns recently.
She hadn’t anticipated Wilson’s lack of a bottom line, Hugo’s viciousness, or Billy’s surprising reliability. Moreover, she certainly hadn’t expected her second chance at life to be still fight with challenges.
The tension during this time had been overwhelming. Perhaps it was time for her to unwind.
With that thought, she immediately called Billy to congratulate him on his sun
success and thank him for honoring their agreement.
Bally kept things straightforward, thanking her for selling her shares at such a favorable price and assuring her that Starstruck Entertainment would continue to extend top–tier
resources to her for future collaborations.
Daphine contacted Ava after wrapping up the call with Badly. “Ave, book a spot for tonight. Let’s go out and celebrate Invite Wendy and Lucas, and I’ll being Sebastian. Let’s have
inner together, sing a little, and enjoy a few drinks to celebrate.”
“Got it. I’ll reserveibeplace and send you the details. You and Mr. Turner can come together, so I won’t bother picking you up. Ava’s tone was deliberately teasing and filled with playdul insinuation.
Daphne knew exactly what she was implying but chose to ignore it. She sent Sebastian an invitation via text, selling him to meet at 5:30 pm.
She stretched her body lazily and collapsed onto the bad after sending the message, feeling an unprecedented sense of relict
She had a good sleep before waking up to check the time. It was
