"Do what she wants. Bring the contracts tomorrow and head to the ribbon-cutting ceremony on time. Let's see if her ambitions are big enough to handle GK Pictures.""What are you planning, Mr. Kooper?"Gilbert smiled enigmatically, "You'll see by then. As for her instructions, you can just follow them all."After hanging up the phone, Kisa looked at him. "Sharon hired the killer to kill us, right? Or else, how would there be rumors of you dying within the artists in GK Pictures."Gilbert's lip lifted into a grin, remained silent, and rose to pour himself a drink. Kisa smiled smugly when she saw Gilbert without a bitter look, "You must be thinking that I wronged her since she's always pure and innocent, where else I'm the evil one.""Don't be ridiculous," Gilbert gave her a smile. Kisa retorted, "I'm speaking the truth.""Alright, stop saying things like this. You know that's not how I really think," He said in a rare gentle tone with a hint of appeasement. Kisa sneered, "Who knows
At this moment, Kisa was full of hatred and was defensive of Gilbert's closeness. The more she struggled, the tighter his embrace was, as if he wanted to blend her inside him. "Can we stop being like this?"Gilbert whispered earnestly, "Promise me that we can get back to the past. I know our past isn't that wonderful, but just let me have the chance to court you. I didn't do it before, but let me make it up for you."Kisa nibbled on her lower lip in anguish. "Too bad, I don't need it anymore." Kisa dreamed that he would chase after her, and they would fall in love like a normal couple once upon a time. But it was all in her head. In reality, there was no sweet love affair, only endless sadness and hurt. She doesn't need a so-called love affair now.Gilbert rested his chin on her neck and said in a deep and intractable voice, "I don't care whether or not you need it or how much you love Jensen. I will never let you go. It doesn't matter if you call me autocratic or selfish. I will ne
"Quit zoning out when Mr. Mullen and Sharon are asking you questions," Lea bent over the table from the force hit by Celandina. Anthony's face darkened. He inhaled the smoke deeply and pointed at Sharon. "When were your workers allowed to teach my workers a lesson? Isn't she a little too nosy?"Although Anthony always seemed casual, he was feared by many once his unpredictable and ruthless side surfaced. Sharon chimed in with an apologetic smile, "Hey, my workers didn't know any better. Plus, she just hit a chess piece. A chess piece that has been out of value since Kisa died.""Whether or not she is out of value is not your call," Anthony snorted savagely. Sharon flared up in her heart but suppressed her negative emotions, thinking about the connections and capital he could bring to her new company. "Celandina!"Sharon called Celandina over, raised her hand, and slapped her. Celandina was caught off balance, looking at Sharon in disbelief. "Sharon, you...""Next time, have a sense
"Oh my. Why did you come so late? Did you bring the artists' contracts? Oh, it's not me that's impatient. It's the artists. They really don't want to stay at GK Pictures any longer."Davian glared at Sharon. "Don't worry. I brought all of the contracts, including the artists and yours.""That's great," Sharon looked at the people holding the contract folders beside him and gloated. "I understand your situation. It must be a strong blow for GK Pictures to lose so many talents all at once. But GK Pictures has led to its downfall now. You can't keep them without good remuneration. Don't blame me. I'm just trying to be considerate to them."Davian was on the warpath while listening to the woman in front of him talking about GK Pictures. 'I hope Mr. Kooper shows up any time now to teach this woman a lesson.' Davian sneered at Sharon, "I won't stop you from leaving, but the contract clearly stated the contract period. If you want to leave, you have to pay GK Pictures all the liquidated da
Sharon smiled scornfully, "Look at how worried you are. It's just a little money. There's nothing to be worried about. Just imagine how much money you'll make after taking over GK."Anthony scoffed coldly.He would not be worried at all if he did not borrow the money from his father.The penalty for breaching the contract was sent to GK's account very soon after that. Dacian looked at the account. "Are the figures correct?"The accountant shook his head. "Yes, everything's correct."Then, Davian unfolded the contracts happily. "Come here and sign this if you wish to terminate your contract with us. However, I've got to remind you that GK Pictures will never work with anybody who has chosen to leave us today."However, none of the artists was scared by what he said as all of them went to sign the contract one after another.Sharon's spirit brightened while seeing what had happened."Davian, there's no need to worry. They're never coming back to GK even if you begged them to."'
Suddenly, the crowd started shouting.The look on Anthony's face changed immediately. He grabbed Sharon's collar aggressively and whispered while grinding his teeth, "Didn't you say that he's dead?"Sharon was puzzled. "I-I have no idea. T-They probably just shouting his name for no reason.'Her last bit of fantasy was destroyed after she saw Gilbert and Kisa stepping out of the crowd.She slumped on the chair, looking pale. "W-What's going on?""Idiot!" Anthony shrugged her off violently. He then glared at Gilbert and Kisa, who were walking toward him.The reporters approached them as soon as they showed up."Mr. Kooper, what do you think of the superstar under your company starting an agency of her own?""Ms. Case just started her company, and so many artists terminated their contracts with GK to work in her company. Is there something wrong with GK?""Also, you and Ms. Case had always been going everywhere together. Did any conflict happen between you and her that led to wh
"Ms. Case, are you delusional or stupid? Is your brain even working? How is a new company going to compete with an experienced company like GK?""Yeah. Did you think that your company would blow up just because you signed some incompetent artists from GK? You're such a joke. I'll tell you what: Mr. Kooper wanted to get rid of those fishes in troubled water long ago.""You're so stupid. You spent a fortune just to get those useless artists. I guess you have too much money, huh?"Sharon had gone mad as she yelled at them without holding back, "All of you agreed to give me your shares previously, and we were going to divide the interests equally among us. How could you lie to me?""You're right, but we also said that our final decisions would depend upon different circumstances. We reserve all the rights not to transfer our shares to you if anything went wrong.""He's right. GK will only become better now that Mr. Kooper is back. Nobody would choose your little company over GK.""Ah
"Where are you going? Let me take you there."Kisa lifted the edge of her mouth and subtly looked down at Sharon. Then, she chuckled, "I'm good. I don't feel like listening to any disgusting today.""You b*tch, what did you say?!" Sharon immediately got up and raised her palm before trying to slap Kisa.Gilbert's gaze turned cold. He lifted his hand and pushed Sharon two feet away from Kisa in a flash.Sharon fell on the floor awkwardly and looked at Gilbert with a pitiful look.However, Gilbert ignored her completely. He looked at Kisa with his deep eyes and said, "I'll go with you.""Heh heh. You should stay here with Ms. Case instead. She'd been through a lot today, after all."Kisa shrugged his hand away forcefully and walked away without looking back after saying that sarcastically.Gilbert's face became as dark as a pocket as he watched Kisa leave in a cab."Mr. Kooper..."Sharon crawled toward him. "My sister has always been an arrogant person. Also, she loves playing
