    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 1266 A Lawsuit</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was somewhat bewildered. “However, ourpany currently has no resources. We don’t even have an agent-”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before she could finish her sentence, Eric pointed toward the door. “Isn’t there an agent?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric’s agent, Marcus Woodard, was among the best, both domestically and internationally. He wouldn’t just agree to represent any ordinary person.</font></font>This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Initially, recognizing Eric’s potential led Marcus to take Eric under his wing.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Back then, Marcus nned to leave for a rookie after making Eric famous.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, after bing friends with Eric, he no longer took on rookies.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Marcus heard Eric’s words from outside the door, and he approached them somewhat helplessly. “If you don’t mind, I can represent him and the rookies.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Marcus, you’re impressive,” Eric said with a smile.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t praise me just yet. There’s currently a bit of a snag with Eric’s contract termination at Imminence Corporation. You might need to step in to resolve it,” Marcus said to Cecilia.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The color drained from Eric’s face in an instant.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Imminence Corporation again…” Cecilia had heard about thispany countless times and never thought her good friend would also be duped.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Tell me the details,” Cecilia said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing the look on Cecilia’s face, Eric figured she had absolutely no clue that Nathaniel was the CEO of Imminence Corporation.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Afraid that Marcus would say things he wasn’t supposed to, Eric immediately said, “Well, I’ve been tricked, but it’s nothing serious. I can handle it myself.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What do you mean it’s nothing serious? The penalty for terminating the contract is two billion,” Marcus quickly retorted.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Two billion?” Charlotte was stunned and in disbelief.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">For an average person, this amount of money was astronomical, something they might not be able to earn even in ten lifetimes.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why would a contract termination cost so much?” Charlotte couldn’t understand why even the most talented artist would need such a high termination fee.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“They might’ve exploited a loophole in the contract.” Marcus sighed before adding, “I wasn’t paying enough attention.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Initially, the conditions offered by Imminence Corporation seemed eptable, and it just so happened that during that period, Eric was in need of money.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right. It was a trap, then.” Charlotte wanted to speak up against injustice.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia also thought it was absurd. “Is there a need for awsuit?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric nodded. “Absolutely, but the odds of winning are not high. Don’t worry, Ceci. I’ll figure out a way to raise the money.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Selling off the assets you currently hold would only you several hundred million. Where are you going to get two billion?” Marcus didn’t hesitate to expose him.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric gave him a look, signaling him to keep quiet.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Reluctantly, Marcus closed his mouth.</font></font>


    After some thought, Cecilia realized that considering Eric’s fame, even signing a contract with him would require a fortune. Consequently, she decided to say, “Eric, calcte how much you’re short of. Whatever amount you’recking, I’ll cover for you.”


    Marcus, standing next to Eric, lost hisposure.


    At that moment, he finally understood why a fine young man like Eric would cling to a married woman, a mother no less. This woman, Cecilia, is indeed overly generous.


    Upon hearing those words, Eric felt nothing but a deep sense of humiliation.


    “Are you kidding? How could I possibly take your money?” Eric, being a man, could never ept a woman’s money. “Don’t worry. I have my own money. Let’s go, Marcus.”


    Eric then left in a huff, taking Marcus with him.


    Cecilia wanted to exin, but it was already toote.


    Charlotte sighed and gave Cecilia a pat on the shoulder, “Boss, how could you discuss giving money to Eric? It’s such a blow to his pride. Any self–respecting man wouldn’t ept a woman’s money. He isn’t a boy–toy, after all.”


    “That’s not what I meant.” Cecilia let out a sigh. “I thought I would need topensate him for our coboration. That money could be deducted from his future earnings.”


    She hadn’t expected that the usually amicable Eric would be so angry that day.
