“What does Wilson Mark mean by this? Damn it! Didn’t he agree to renew the contract? Why is he suddenly saying no to the renewal?”
Olivia was on the verge of breaking down, pacing back and forth in the room.
The assistant speculated, “Could it be for publicity? After all, every time an artist’s contract is about to expire, the company always stirs up some hype.”
“Publicity? They should at least let me know if it’s for that! The company just wants to kick me out because I haven’t made them any money!”
Olivia’s face turned dark with anger. She kicked over the table furiously before saying, “Call Wilson Mark and ask him what the hell he means!”
“Alright!” The assistant agreed but first called the manager. After hanging up, she looked confused.
“What happened?”
“The call was hung up.”
Olivia froze for a moment, thinking it was impossible. Artists and managers are supposed to be in the same boat. Even though her manager wasn’t exclusively managing her, they had been polite. What’s going on now? They don’t even want to acknowledge her?
Furious, Olivia went directly to find Wilson Mark. When he saw her, he simply said:
“This is the company’s latest decision.”
“Latest decision? Boss Mark, I am at least a member of the Scott family. Aren’t you afraid of offending them with this?”
Wilson Mark scoffed coldly. “Olivia, whether to renew the contract or not is entirely up to the company. As an artist, your job is to follow the rules! And don’t use the Scott family to pressure me! Whether you’re even recognized by the Scott family depends on your luck!”
Olivia frowned deeply, confused by his words. In the past, even when she often caused scandals and was criticized online for her relationship with Scott Henry, the company hadn’t kicked her out. Even when the recent video of her chasing away the original wife, Sophia, went viral and netizens came after her, they didn’t expel her.
“Boss Mark, you…”
“That’s enough, there’s no need to discuss further! Olivia, the company has already been tolerant with you. Otherwise, you’d have been blacklisted long ago with your behavior! Be content!”
The words were harsh.
Olivia couldn’t believe it. How could this be happening? Her current position was awkward: she was an artist without notable works. While she had some fame, it was all negative. Especially her status as a mistress, which had completely ruined her reputation. It seemed unlikely she would ever recover. Now, she couldn’t secure endorsements, her invitations were few, and other companies wouldn’t dare sign her.
Even if they did, those companies couldn’t compare to Current Entertainment.
What went wrong?
Who was targeting her?
Sophia? She thought of what Sophia had said when she was driven out of the hospital that day. It was likely Sophia!
But how could Sophia have such power?
No! Impossible!
She quickly called Scott Henry. He reassured her:
“Olivia, since the contract is expiring, don’t renew it for now. Think about it, once you have the child, they’ll be a Scott family heir. Just stay at home and focus on being the young mistress!”
Olivia felt her heart settle at his words.
If she could have a son and gain the Scott family’s approval, she wouldn’t need to worry about money in the future.
As the young mistress, she wouldn’t need to show her face in public anymore.
Thinking about this, Olivia smiled and said, “Henry, you said it yourself. Then I won’t renew the contract and will wait for you to take care of me!”
“Of course!” Scott Henry thought of Sophia and shook his head. That vicious woman nearly killed him! Olivia, being so gentle and considerate, was much better.
“Come to my place tonight. I miss you~” Olivia cooed.
“Alright.” Because Olivia was pregnant, Scott Henry hadn’t touched her in a long time. He was craving it and drove straight to her place.
Olivia had already taken a shower and put on lingerie, waiting for him. The moment Scott Henry entered, she teased him with a pointer, igniting his desire. His lower body throbbed painfully.
He quickly pinned Olivia down, his hand slipping into her fishnet stockings.
After an intense session, Scott Henry held Olivia down on the bed…
Scott Henry should have been satisfied, but for some reason, during the heat of the moment, he suddenly thought of Sophia.
Sophia had always been indifferent to him. Although she was his wife, he couldn’t win her over. Initially, he disdained her, but lately, she occupied his thoughts more and more. She felt like an enchanting mistress, pulling at his very soul. By contrast, Olivia now felt like an ordinary wife.
Too much of the same thing gets dull.
Noticing his distraction, Olivia thought he was worried about her condition and comforted him, “Don’t be too rough. It’s fine.”
Scott Henry snapped back to reality, looking at the woman beneath him. For some reason, it felt different now.
The novelty had faded with time, and the thrill of sneaking around was gone. Now, his relationship with Olivia felt bland.
But Sophia…
“Henry?”
Scott Henry snapped out of his thoughts again, nodded, and sped up.
News of Olivia’s contract termination spread like wildfire.
The public had already been enraged by the recent video of her chasing away the original wife. Many netizens had crowdfunded to confront her, while others wanted to support the original wife. However, Sophia was low-key and rarely appeared in public, with no social media presence. People could only imagine her as a meek, downtrodden woman, the type a mistress would dare to bully.
The termination was celebrated.
Netizens flooded Wilson Mark and Current Entertainment’s pages, praising them for taking a stand and improving the company’s image.
They commented that a company willing to act against morally questionable artists was a good one, and Olivia should’ve been kicked out long ago.
In response, Olivia turned off her Facebook comments.
She posted a picture of herself holding hands with Scott Henry, disgusting netizens even more.
Since her Facebook didn’t allow comments, netizens turned to forums to vent their frustrations. This led to her past scandals being unearthed again, tarnishing her reputation further.
