Chapter 2607

“Eliza, let me tell you this. You’re the company’s artist. After signing the contract, as the company’s
employee, you should always place the benefit of the company and its boss first. Think about it. Isn’t
the company the one that gave you what you achieved today? This is a piece of advice from me. Take
this 100 million

dollars and leave. After the scandal dies down, the company can still find an opportunity for you to
make a comeback.”

Eliza could not bear to continue listening. She swept all of Chester’s documents on the table to the
floor as though she was triggered. “Don’t treat me like a fool. Is making a comeback that easy? I’m an
A- list celebrity now, yet you exploited me fully. How many years will it take for this incident to die
down? By that time, I won’t have the advantage of being young anymore. You won’t like me either. The
competition within the company is fierce. How will there still be hope for me to make a comeback?”

“You have a death wish.”

Chester grabbed her arm and flung it hard. Eliza was thrown to the floor.

“Who do you think you are to throw things in my office? Haven’t you learned from the lesson last time?”

Chester stared at Eliza from above. “I’m warning you. Don’t push your luck. If you offend me, I’ll make it
so that you won’t even have the chance to make a comeback.”

“Don’t you feel even an ounce of guilt toward me?” Eliza was sprawled on the floor and looked at
Chester in a messy state.

“What’s guilt?” Chester laughed coldly. “ What are you even that’s worth me feeling guilty over?”



Eliza’s mouth hung open as if she had received a huge shock.

She deliberately used cheap makeup on her face that day. After crying just now, her makeup had
smudged entirely like a wet palette.

Chester was disgusted with even just another glance. “Take the card and leave. If you think it’s too little
money, just don’t take it.”

Eliza seemed frightened upon hearing that. She immediately got up and clutched the card.

Chester’s gaze became even more contemptuous.

‘Look at that, she said the money was too little and looked down on it, but she still clutched the card
tightly in the end.’

Women were all the same.



“That’s a good girl.” Chester’s expression looked better. “Eliza, I know the company is indebted to you
in this matter. Actually, if you had come in and talked to me in a good tone just now, my words wouldn’t
have been that harsh. Take it as the company owes you a favor this time. The company will return the
favor to you in the future.”

Eliza sneered. It was akin to giving candy to patch things up after slapping someone several times. He
was treating people like fools.

She shook her head in tears. “I don’t want the company to owe me a favor. I can’t afford to offend you
or the company. I’m not very useful now anyway. I can’t bring in profit for the company either. I’m
thinking of terminating my contract.”



“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.
