As soon as Kyle arrived, he confronted Otis.
"What did you guys do? Mr. Kennedy knows now. Maya''s under contract with us, and her actions have trashed our reputation. How are you fixing this?"
Otis quickly put down what he was holding and approached with a forced smile. "Mr. Astor, we don''t know what happened either. We were just about to ask Maya." Kyle, looking stern, said, "No need. I''m here with a message."
Otis asked, "What is it?"
Kyle announced, "Mr. Kennedy says you need to issue a statement. Maya brokepany rules and hurt our reputation. We''re terminating her contract and demandingpensation for damages and breach of contract." Otis was shocked and hurriedly said, "Mr. Astor, doing this would confirm those things, wouldn''t it?"
Kyle shot back, "Aren''t they true? She''s just an influencer. You think thepany will spend money on PR for her? Just do it."
Otis sighed. Since it was Mr. Kennedy''s decision, he couldn''t protect Maya anymore.
"Alright, I''ll handle it."
Kyle nodded and left without another word.
Once the announcement was made, Maya would have no way to turn things around.
In the afternoon, Otis went to see her. Maya had locked herself in her room, looking disheveled, pale, and terrified. Seeing Otis, she shrank into the couch.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Her phone on the coffee table kept ringing, one call after another.
It was a call from her family because they had received awyer''s letter; she owed thepany over a million dors.
Her family couldn''te up with that much money. Even selling everything they had wouldn''t amount to a million dors.
In the morning, her family had taken turns scolding her over the phone. Now, Maya was terrified of the phone ringing, covering her ears and trembling. Maya stammered in fear, "Don''t kill me. I was wrong."
Seeing her in such a miserable state, Otis exchanged a nce with Ernest, both shaking their heads in pity.
It seemed she had gone crazy. Even if the issues were rified, she wouldn''t be able to continue filming normally.
Everyone had no choice but to leave the room.
On the way, they discussed what to do with her ount. It was a pity to waste an ount with over ten million followers. With Rex still around, they could rece her with a new lead. Ernest said, "Looks like that''s the only option."
Another staff member sighed, "It''s a shame. So much money was invested in that ount, and now we have to start over."
Otis shrugged. "No choice. Mr. Kennedy knows about it, so let''s just do it."
As they were talking, a loud noise suddenly came from behind, startling them.
They all turned around to see a bloody figure lying on the ground.
Passersby screamed, attracting a crowd.
Maya had jumped.
When Kyle received the news, he quickly nced back at the office behind him. It was Alexander''s office.
Kyle''s face turned pale because he knew something was off.
Last night, Alexander had indeed adopted his suggestion, but only partially. He let the scandal about Maya spread but didn''t wait for her poprity to drop.
''Thepany made an announcement in the morning and Maya jumped in the afternoon. Is this not making a big enough scene?'' Kyle thought in shock.
Yet he didn''t dare to ask Alexander. He could only suppress his panic and quickly leave the office.
The news spread quickly, and Quinn and her colleagues also found out.
When Quinn looked at the overwhelming news online, her fingers trembled as she held her phone.
She thought, ''Alexander has been out all night. What has he been doing?''
Someone said, "Who would''ve thought Maya wouldmit suicide over this? It''s just a contract termination and a million-dor debt. Was it worth jumping for? But this shouldn''t have anything to do with ourpany, right?" Quinn''s face was pale, and she didn''t say anything.
At that moment, a message suddenly popped up on her phone. It was from Walter.
It was just a short sentence.
Walter: [I''ll be back in a week. Keep it secret.]
