The less famous celebrities were forced into doing things with Olivia, but how badly were they forced and humiliated for them to fall apart?It was perplexing why the deputy director let Olivia have her ways with the male artists.Sean had said it was because Olivia could bring benefits to the company, but a celebrity who just couldn’t be famous enough and couldn’t even be considered a B-lister managing to get the resources of an A-listers was baffling.It wasn’t until today, when Mr. Brown showed up, that he suddenly understood.It might be related to taking videos.The deputy director’s face turned dark, “What do you know?”“You’re in this together, or he wouldn’t be here for me.” Hector pointed at the man with the gold chain and ignored his expression. “You needed a scapegoat, and it had to be someone new to the company and could get close to a low-level actress. If I followed your instructions and something happened, I would have to take the fall for it. Zestar would be able
The interview was live-streamed. Everyone was able to join the live stream, and it caused a big commotion. William and his men rushed into the car and fled, leaving Hector behind. Soon, the police arrived at the scene.#Zestar Media Corporation’s scandal has been exposed##Zestar employees protest en masse##The truth behind the shelving of male artists#These three news stories landed on Google Trends. Due to the commotion it caused, the police even issued an update on the investigation of Zestar.“Oh gosh, I never expected Zestar to be so terrible.”“No wonder there are so few celebrities in Zestar, not to mention that they're all mentioned by the government. I'm afraid that Zestar won't be able to turn the table around this time.”“Hey! Howard has terminated his contract with Zestar! Seems like it’s real this time!”Howard published a post on his Facebook account stating the termination of his contract with Zestar. At the same time, he published a post that read: "I'm with
Hector felt someone had pushed him as he fell to the ground.It was Sean. He pushed him out of the way just as the car arrived in front of them.For a moment, the air was filled with the brakes' screech and the collision's sound. Hector's pupils constricted as Sean disappeared from his vision, leaving only a shoe on the ground. It was only when the screams of the people around them and after the car had escaped that Hector came to his senses and looked in a daze at the man who had fallen in a pool of blood.At the police station…Maisie and Nolan rushed to the police station when they received the call. As soon as she stepped into the police station, she saw Hector sitting on the chair with his head held low in dejection.The police officer put down the cup of water and rose to his feet. “Mr. Goldmann?”Nolan walked up to the police officer and asked him about the situation. The police officer walked aside with him and told him all about what had happened.Maisie looked at Hec
It seemed to him that Lucy’s smile could cure everything in life.“Lucy,” he called out to her. “Yeah?” Lucy turned her head around and answered with a smile on her face.Hector couldn’t help himself but chuckle. “You truly are a strange girl.”Lucy cocked her head and replied, “Am I?”Hector let out a laugh.Lucy did not know what he was laughing at. After all, she was talking to him seriously. She turned her head around and shouted excitedly when she saw a few shooting stars streaking across the sky, "Look! Shooting stars!" Hector looked in the direction she pointed.Even though both of them were standing on their own balconies under the night sky, they felt closer to each other.Several days later, at Zestar…Sean’s seat was filled with bouquets of white flowers. Nearly all of the staff in the department wore black. There was no smile on their faces, and the atmosphere was dense.The higher-ups had been oppressing the Zestar staff for years, and Sean's death was the fin
Some of the girls in the department were so scared that they began to sob. The staff's eyes looked dim as they couldn’t see any hope. A few cars stopped in front of Zestar. A dozen men clad in black emerged from the cars and stood in two rows.Quincy opened the door to the back seat, and Hector got out of the car. He lifted his head to look at the building, and his gaze became more determined when he thought of what had happened to Sean. Quincy looked at him and said, “Let’s go, Hector. Mr. Goldmann said you can do whatever you want to do.”Hector took a deep breath and stepped into the building. Quincy followed behind with a team of lawyers and bodyguards.They barged straight into the administration department and went straight to the director's office. They put down the bodyguards that were guarding outside, and Hector pushed the door into the office open. The director of Zestar and a few higher-ups were in the middle of a meeting.When the deputy director beside the directo
The higher-ups were stunned.Hector took off his jacket and threw it to the floor. He picked up a vase on the side and walked toward the deputy director.The deputy director was so shocked that his face turned pale. As he took a step back, he said, “W-What are you trying to do? There are so many people over here. You're committing a crime if you dare to lay a single finger on me!”Hector lifted the vase, and the director shouted. “Stop!”The vase fell on the floor and smashed into pieces. However, the vase just shattered on the wall behind the deputy director, who was holding his head in his hands. Fear drove him to scream like a madman, and the floor soon became wet.When Hector saw he had pissed himself, he snorted. “Hah, so you’re a coward too.”Quincy looked toward the director, whose face was dark, and said, “You don’t have any choice now.”He handed the transfer agreement to him and continued. “Sign the agreement, and sell Zestar to Blackgold. As for your crimes, the cou
They waved the party crackers in their hands, whistled, and shouted to welcome their savior.Hector was stunned for a moment and finally gave off a helpless smile. He lowered his head, and his eyes turned a little bloodshot. “The person that everyone should thank is Mr. Lewis. If it weren’t for him, I might’ve…”As soon as Sean’s name was mentioned, everyone became quiet for a moment.No one could forget what happened to Sean.A male employee walked out of the crowd and placed his arm on Hector’s shoulder. “Hector, we don’t blame you for Mr. Lewis’ encounter. It’s not your fault but theirs instead.”“Yes, it’s those b*stards’ fault!”Hector chuckled and seemed to be able to blend in with the atmosphere and everyone else.…Lucy passed through the corridor of the department and suddenly heard several female staff members discussing Zestar. She did not pay much attention to it at first, but they mentioned Hector at that moment.“Is this true? So, Mr. Goldmann’s cousin-in-law is
The conversation could no longer go on, so Jenna bade Lucy goodbye and left.Jenna ran into Maisie in the corridor as Maisie came out of the elevator. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie smiled at her and approached her. “Mrs. Xavier, are you here for Lucy?”“Yeah, I originally wanted to come and talk with her, but communication seems to be getting increasingly difficult as she gets older.” Jenna gave off a wry smile as she could not help but feel extremely distressed deep down.‘The barrier between our relationship seems impossible to remove.’“Lucy is already an adult. And adults have their own thoughts and plans. Although parents’ worries are necessary from time to time, children will have their own lives when they grow up. You’re worrying too much, Mrs. Xavier.”Maisie’s advice caught Jenna off guard and stunned her for a split second, but she felt a little embarrassed after returning to her senses. “Mrs. Goldmann, you have three children, don’t you?”“Yes, but don’t be fooled by their
