Chapter 819
After finishing his painting, lan carefully framed it and set it aside to let the paper dry completely.
The excitement that he just felt had almost faded away. He lay back down on his bed, sleeping a bit more peacefully.
The following day, Maja left Rosewood Manor. She had already called her lawyer to contact Simstar Entertainment to compensate for Wilma’s breach of contract.
Since Elvis did a great job with Wilma’s contract, the lawyer didn’t spend much time. But Funfly had taken so many blows under Maja’s hand, losing a promising actress so she was about to explode angrily At a business lunch, she ran into Alma, who, to her surprise, came over to chat.
‘Ms. Darcy, I heard about what’s going on with Simstar Entertainment. Is Maja giving you a hard time?”
First, the script was snatched, then Elvis was poached, and now Wilma was taken away.
In these showdowns with Maja, Simstar Entertainment undoubtedly took a heavy hit. Funfly’s expression instantly soured, ‘Ms. Alma, are you suggesting you have a solution?‘
Alma smiled slightly, “I just returned from a performance at the Vienna Concert Hall and have some free time. I’m planning on stepping into the entertainment industry. Even though Wilma has been signed away, the drama she’s working on just started shooting, right? If I team up with you and Simstar Entertainment supports me in the future, I could join Wilma’s current drama team and ruin her image. Wouldn’t that be a huge loss for Maja’s company?”
Alma held her wine glass, her face full of confidence.
I have the backing of the Casson family. Ian wouldn’t dare to mess with me. But the Casson family doesn’t get involved in the entertainment industry, so I need your cooperation.
Funfly’s eyes suddenly lit up. Her biggest fear was lan.
If Alma were willing to step in, the one who would be confronting Maja on the surface would be Alma. What did that have to do with Simstar Entertainment?
Funfly could safely withdraw from all the drama.
She’s wanted to get back at Maja for a long time but never had the chance!
Now that someone’s willing to take the bullet for her, of course, she’s more than happy.
‘Ms. Alma, it’s great that you’re willing to cooperate! Don’t worry, if there’s one thing Simstar Entertainment isn’t short of, it’s resources. I’ll contact the drama team immediately and arrange an important role for
you, with scenes opposite Wilma.”
Alma was well prepared this time, having thoroughly investigated the situation.
Moreover, she had an even stronger power backing her up.
All for her ambition and a friend.
A friend who could bring her countless benefits.
So this time, she had to ensure that Maja and her company could never recover.
Maja had no idea that she had become the focus of attention.
When she was sitting in her office, the lawyer and Wilma came in.
A one–time payment of a million in breach of contract fees was made, and now Wilma was an artist with Star Movie Group.
Maja had someone see the lawyer out and pay the lawyer’s fees, and then she looked at Wilma standing in front of her.
Wilma was excitedly looking around, not behaving like an employee should but focusing on exploring her surroundings. After observing for a while, she concluded.
‘Although Simstar Entertainment is a bit short on resources, it has a pretty nice environment. It seems like your office needs some upgrading.”
Just as she finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and Elvis walked in.
“Wilma, you can’t talk to Mr. Pennyfeather like that. Apologize now.”
Elvis was a stickler for rules, always meticulous in his actions. The–gold–rimmed glasses on his nose added a touch of mature charm.
He kept himself in excellent shape, immediately drawing attention as he entered the room.
The moment Wilma saw him, her eyes welled up with tears.
“Elvis!”
Elvis’s expression immediately became stern.
Wilma rolled her eyes.
She used to call him Elvis. Every single name she called him conveyed her expectations, but Elvis’s stance was also very
Wilma instantly straightened up and apologized to Maja.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Pennyfeather, don’t take what I said seriously. I was just talking.”
Maja laughed and pretended to check the documents in her hand.
Sure enough, Elvis began to lecture her.
“Who taught you to talk like this as a girl?”
His tone was stern, pushing his glasses up his nose like a teacher lecturing a student.
Wilma turned her head away, her tone casual.
“Elvis, it’s because no one taught me I’m so unrestrained. Why are you angry? Mr. Pennyfeather isn’t mad at me.”
Her words, ‘no one taught her,” were like a knife, hurting both Wilma and Elvis.
Seeing the atmosphere was off, Maja immediately looked up.
“It’s fine, actually quite like Wilma’s personality. Later, I’ll have Zoey arrange a manager for her.”
Elvis didn’t say anything, apparently still trying to recover from the blow of her words.
But Wilma seemed relaxed as if she had just been speaking off the cuff.
‘Mr. Pennyfeather, thank you, you’re really a great guy!”
