Chapter 451
Victoria dared to use this product in front of others. Surely his face was no less important than the others, right?
Of course not!
Something is wrong!
There's something fishy!
"You ... You're just trying to defend yourself!" one of the men had a red face now and did not even know how to argue anymore.
"I'm not trying to explain anything" Victoria replied with a smile.
"You…"
The man was getting more anxious. "I'm. I'm not talking to you anymore! I'll file a complaint, I'll sue you!"
He quickly glanced at his partner to run but Ethan stood in front of him.
"Because we're all here, then how can you leave without resolving this matter?" ethan said calmly. "You think you can leave after making a false accusation here? You think we'll let you go so easily?"
"I'm. I'm not making false accusations!" the man quickly tried to defend himself.
"He made a false claim! He was guilty, so he kept avoiding eye contact!"
"I told you that these people are here to make trouble. No one else has reported any problems, but somehow they're the only ones with disabilities?"
"And it's no less than two grown men! Even though my boyfriend loves me so much, I won't make him buy this for me! They must be suspicious!"
"I remember them! They cut the queue yesterday so I didn't have time to buy a bottle! So these people are deliberately buying products to make trouble!"
There was suddenly a commotion among the crowd as everything became clear now.
These people have made false claims!
The two men paled and immediately tried to escape, but the crowd surrounded them.
After being fooled and taken advantage of, this angry crowd would not accept this lie.
Immediately came howls of agony as they endured so many punches and kicks from the crowd before they finally managed to break away from the crowd and disappeared around the corner.
"Run! Hurry up and run!"
"We've been found out, we have to tell Bobby!"
They ran like crazy and suddenly stopped. The people in front of them made them tremble in fear.
Tom Foster was standing there with several wolves behind him. His expression was calm but he looked murderous.
"Take them off and ask who's behind all this" Tom Foster said.
Back in the storefront.
Victoria waved and made everyone calm.
"Everyone, this product definitely has no quality problems and I have tried it myself. If you have a problem, I'm willing to take responsibility for it" he said aloud. "The most important thing for a woman is her own face. The Palmer Group is willing to ensure the health and safety of every consumer, and they will not try to deceive you or do anything that goes against their conscience. I hope you can trust them, and trust me." too!"
Since Victoria said so, then who would suspect the product again?
He tied his own reputation to this product. Which celebrity would do that?
If Victoria wasn't sure that there were no problems with the product, she wouldn't dare risk her reputation no matter how much the Palmer Group paid for it.
The general demonstration of Victoria using the product on her own was more real and convincing compared to any advertisement!
"We believe you! We also trust the Palmer Group!"
"We believe in our goddess! We believe in the Palmer Group products!"
"We support our goddess and we support the Palmer Group!"
……
The scream was loud and echoed like a wave. Just a few minutes ago, this was the same crowd that might result in an irreversible situation. But now, everything had been resolved perfectly!
And this incident might even lead more people to trust and support the Palmer Group!
Diane's eyes glazed over in the car. She really wanted to rush over to hug Victoria right now!
Chapter 452
This was originally a crisis that could cause a stain on the reputation of the Palmer Group that was impossible to remove.
But Victoria has stood up and used her own actions to allay any suspicions the customer has.
This has resolved the crisis and become another round of promotions that increased consumer confidence in this new product!
Victoria has used her own reputation to guarantee this product.
Diane's eyes were all red and she was very touched.
As Ethan and Victoria walk back to the car, Diane runs and hugs Victoria.
"Victoria! How can I thank you enough for this!"
Victoria laughed and patted Diane on the back. "You just need to treat me to a session at the hot spring."
"OK!"
The two of them joined hands like siblings.
Ethan said nothing. This problem is not finished.
He asks the driver to send Diane and Victoria back to the hotel while he waits by the side of the road.
Tom Foster's car arrives in no time, and Ethan steps in.
"understand. It's Mark who's fine" Tom Foster said. "These people are just kids and they follow Bobby, the guy you hit last time. Their goal is to tarnish the reputation of Palmer Group's new products and make consumers distrust the company."
She did not expect Victoria's actions to turn the crisis into an opportunity to promote the product.
Mark will probably have a heart attack when he realizes what happened.
"Because this guy is playing dirty, then I don't need to be polite anymore."
Ethan had told Mark beforehand that he would say nothing if the Palmer Group lost to Mark.
But if Mark uses such cheating, then Ethan will not play well anymore.
"Do I need to get that guy?" ask Tom Foster.
Ethan doesn't have to do this all by himself. At Castle Rock now, Tom Foster only needed to say a word, and nobody in the illegal circles here dared to oppose him.
It's nothing for him to catch that Mark!
"No, I'll look for it myself" replied Ethan. "Let's go."
"okay!" Tom Foster instructed the driver, "Go to Sun's house."
Mark is now at Sun's house.
Vincent has punished him and he can't go anywhere. But because Ethan wants to meet her, Tom Foster will break into Sun's house and drag Mark out.
Mark curses and swears when he hears that his plan is failing.
He had destroyed almost everything in the room.
"Victoria! Victoria!"
"How dare you ruin my plan!!"
Mark was trembling with anger. This scheme would definitely destroy the Palmer Group overnight and Diane would not even have the chance to defend herself.
Once consumers lose their trust in the Palmer Group, there is no way they can thrive any further.
They can dream!
But in the end?
Victoria Clark has actually been using a new product on her in front of everyone and dispelling suspicions on the spot.
If even a big celebrity dares to use the product and even trust it 100%, then there is nothing for ordinary people to worry about.
Whose face is more valuable than a popular singer like Victoria Clark?
"Geez!!" Mark is furious and he hopes to slap Victoria right now. He actually dared to ruin his plan.
"Popular celebrity huh? Since you dare to offend me, I will make you pay!"
He pulled out his phone and called his sister.
It wasn't difficult for her sister to make trouble for Victoria given their status in the entertainment industry.
She's just a woman who knows how to sing! He would teach her what happened to the people who hurt her.
At the same time.
In the living room of Sun's house.
Vincent stood in the living room with a slight frown on his face. He doesn't look too good.
"Aren't you all being too outrageous?" Vincent shouting. "How did you break into my house and ask to see Mark? Who are you really?!"
Ethan glanced at him and calmly replied. "Since you don't know how to teach your son, I'll help you teach him."
"What courage!" Vincent shouting. "Are you asking to die?"
"The one asking to die is you!" Tom Foster laughed coldly. He waved and the wolves took a step forward. Their presence was enough to scare Vincent.
"It looks like the disappearance of the Hampton family didn't teach you guys a lesson."
He narrowed his eyes, "And it seems like the death of the five Castle Rock tigers isn't surprising enough either. If I don't kill a few more, it seems like there will always be people who don't know who they are. place!"
Chapter 453
Vincent felt his heart pounding when he heard what Tom Foster said.
He stared straight at Tom Foster as he felt his blood rushing all over his body.
"You ... you ..."
"Tom Foster" replied Tom Foster. "Tom Foster from Greencliff!"
Vincent's face paled.
People from Greencliff!
Tom Foster and his men are the ones who exterminated the Hampton family in one night and killed Sam and five Castle Rock tigers!
That's them!
He suddenly did not dare to say anything more because he was too frightened.
Why are they here? What do they want with Mark?
"Master Sun, my Great Boss will probably let you talk like this because he is generous. But his brothers here probably won't let you go!"
Brother Geoff and the others are like ferocious wolves!
They're all staring at Vincent right now. As soon as Ethan gives the order, they'll tear Vincent to shreds.
Vincent's heart started pounding and he felt like half of his soul had left his body.
The people in front of him were the ones who exterminated the Hampton family and the five Castle Rock tigers! His family could not afford to offend these people at all.
What is this useless son doing out there without his knowledge?! How did he offend someone as terrifying as Ethan?
"I'm so sorry!" Vincent's tone softened and he quickly said, "I haven't taught my son well, I'm not sure how Mark has ..."
"Have him out" Ethan calmly cut him off.
"Call Mark out now!" Vincent immediately turned to shout at the butler. "Speed up!"
He did not dare to do anything else. If Mark were to secretly escape at this moment, then the Sun family might be wiped out today as well.
Mark was calling in his room.
"Sister, you must avenge me for this one. That's Victoria Clark! You have to think of a way to complicate her life, or better yet, ruin her career!" Mark said harshly. "This stupid bitch got in the way of my plan and made the Sun family suffer a great loss. I'll definitely make him pay!"
"Young Master, Master wants to see you," cried the butler from outside.
Mark looked up with an annoyed face.
"Ok sister, I am counting on you two sisters to help! Dad called me so I had to hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Mark walked out and sneered. "What does my father want?"
"You'll know when you get to the living room" said the butler with his head bowed. He did not dare tell Mark what had happened.
Mark scoffed and was annoyed that he still had some devious methods he wanted to tell his sister. She wanted her sister to completely destroy Victoria's reputation so that no one would buy anything she represented.
"Alright, I'll go to the living room."
Mark walked into the living room.
His father had punished him since the previous day because he wanted Mark to stay inside and reflect on his actions. Food was delivered directly to his room.
And now Vincent wants him in the living room?
Mark didn't know if the old man just wanted to scold him again.
He just didn't pass the exam! That's all!
He was the only boy of his generation and Vincent had only one son. If Vincent hadn't given the family to him, who else could he have given it to?
Mark was convinced of this, so he was not afraid.
Even though he was a spoiled brat and did not know how to do anything else, the Sun family would still land in his hands. It's just a matter of time.
He walked into the living room quickly and did not feel guilty at all because he knew that the family was sooner or later.
He was more interested in finding out how much more Vincent could scold him.
"Dad, what's up now?"
Before even entering the living room, Mark spoke in an unhappy voice. He had clearly spoken in this manner on purpose.
Vincent's expression became evil. He could hear Mark's annoyance from the voice. But now, Vincent is even angrier than Mark!
"Kneel now!"
Mark had just walked into the living room when he was greeted by a loud shout from Vincent.
Vincent's voice was so loud that Mark's body shook.
He looked up to see that the seat reserved for the highest position of the family had been taken by the person he least wanted to see now – Ethan!
Chapter 454
What is Ethan doing here?!
"You ... what are you doing in my house! And you even sat in that chair!" Mark roared furiously. "Are you asking to die ?!"
He was about to run and pull Ethan out of the chair when Vincent blocked him and slapped him hard in the face.
That voice is crisp. And very loud.
Mark stunned. He gripped his red and stinging face, and his ears were ringing. He looked at his own father with a look of disbelief on his face.
He doesn't believe at all. Vincent really hit him!
"Dad, you ... You hit me ?!" Mark's eyes widened. "You hit me because someone deserved to die?"
Vincent becomes more angry and more excited when he hears Mark say something like that in front of Ethan.
He slapped Mark twice more. Mark staggered a few steps back and almost lost his balance.
"You're outrageous!" Vincent roaring. "How dare you speak like this to Mr Hunt? You are so disrespectful!"
Hunting sir?
Mark is confused.
What is Mr Hunt? Why is Vincent so polite to Ethan? Isn't he just a guy who married into Diane's family?
How could he have such power over his father?
"Dad…"
"Don't call me Dad!" Vincent shouting. "My family doesn't have people like you!"
Vincent's face is red and begins to panic when he realizes Ethan is still silent.
He knew that as long as Ethan just nodded his head, the Sun family would disappear from the face of the earth.
Mark should never offend someone as scary as Ethan.
"Kneel now!"
Vincent kicks Mark hard behind the knee and causes Mark to kneel on the floor. "Come to Mr. Hunt and apologize and beg his forgiveness!"
"DAD!"
Mark is really angry right now.
"Kowtow now!" Vincent doesn't care. He clenched his teeth and continued to roar coldly, "Do you want me to prostrate? Was it?"
Mark's head turned as he looked up to see Ethan sitting there quietly. Ethan did not even look at her and continued to drink her tea quietly.
He suddenly felt like he knew what was going on right now.
"Master...Mr. Hunt..."
Mark's lips trembled as he looked straight at Ethan and tried to guess who he really was.
Judging from Vincent's reaction, Ethan was definitely not an ordinary person!
Is that about him marrying into the Palmer family?
It's bullshit!
If Ethan was just a useless son-in-law, then his father wouldn't be so afraid that his legs would tremble.
"Are you surprised?" Ethan puts down his cup and looks at Mark. "Are you wondering what's wrong? Or why are you kneeling here while I sit in the most important position and enjoy a cup of tea?"
Mark said nothing. That's exactly what he thought.
"I'm giving you a chance" Ethan said. "But you didn't take it."
He has told Mark to compete fairly with his product.
But Mark has played dirty tricks one after the other to destroy the new products of Palmer Group and Palmer Group itself!
It made him deserve to die.
"You think I want to rely on the Hampton family to stabilize my position in this region?" Ethan grunts. "You're wrong. I'm the one who wiped out the Hampton family."
Ethan said these words very casually, but Mark felt like he had just been struck by lightning. He's really dumbfounded.
Ethan was the one who wiped out the Hampton family.
That big and powerful family was exterminated overnight by Ethan?
And he had actually offended such a terrifying character?!
Chapter 455
Mark felt a terrible ringing in his ears. He couldn't even hear his own heartbeat anymore.
He finally understood why Vincent was so frightened.
"Master Hunt, Mark is young and immature and doesn't know any better, so he ends up offending you. I hope you can give him a chance," Vincent pleaded with a trembling voice. "I'm willing to give up any company that competes directly with the Palmer Group and move out of Castle Rock!"
"You don't think the Palmer Group can win your family?"
"No! Nah! That's not what I mean!"
Vincent almost knelt down because of his terrible fear.
"I'm not an unreasonable person" Ethan said. "The one playing dirty is Mark, so I'll just settle the feud with him. Mr Sun, tell me, if no one teaches your son properly, won't he grow up to be a bad person who harms others?"
Vincent nodded and his face was filled with bitterness.
"I'll give you the opportunity to educate your child. Do you want it?"
"Yes yes!" vincent replied hurriedly.
Ethan said nothing more and took another cup of tea.
Mark's face paled.
He turned to Vincent and kept shaking his head.
"Dad! Nah! No!" Mark started crying with anxiety.
"Man!" Vincent gave the order, "Destroy Young Master's feet!"
"No no No!!" Mark struggled and tried to escape, but Vincent's men held him back. Vincent shouted another command, "If he tries to resist, break his hand as well!"
Two cracking sounds of bones rang out as the bat struck Mark's leg violently.
It was soon followed by a terrible scream.
Mark was convulsing and fainting from pain.
Everyone in the Sun house was terrified and trembling. They did not even dare to breathe too hard.
Vincent's eyes turned red but he still clasped his hands politely towards Ethan. "Mr Hunt, thank you for being generous and giving our family another chance. Thank you!"
He has broken his own son's leg to make him paralyzed and he even has to thank Ethan.
Ethan got up and lightly tapped his finger on the table.
"Mr Sun, I feel that your son does not have the ability to take over the family business. You should consider carefully to whom you should hand over control."
Ethan then goes with his men.
"Yes! Yep! I will think this through carefully and I will take Mr Hunt's advice!" Vincent calls politely behind Ethan.
Of course Vincent would not argue.
Ethan's words are so clear. If the next head of the family is still Mark then Ethan will exterminate the Sun family in one night!
This cold warning shuddered Vincent.
He doesn't dare to disobey Ethan and doesn't even dare to be unhappy about it.
The Hampton family is an example of what might happen if he tried!
So what if they have a crazy woman like Sam?
Even the five tigers died horribly!
The Sun family was nothing compared to the Hampton family, so there was no way he would offend Ethan.
"You unfilial son! You're a rebellious boy!" Vincent yells at the unconscious Mark.
He had to continue defending the fortress for several more decades, or at least until he had another son. He'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't produce another Mark.
"Send Mark to the village and make sure he doesn't have to worry about his daily expenses" Vincent orders.
He was upset that the Sun family ended up in this state. After the Hampton family disappeared, they actually had a good chance of becoming stronger.
But now?
That's good enough to stay alive!
"Also, sell any business that competes directly with the Palmer Group. It doesn't matter even if we lose."
Vincent now knows why the Hampton family was exterminated.
They didn't offend Ethan, but they had offended the Palmer Group. Offending the Palmer Group is worse than offending Ethan.
The Palmer Group wants to expand and grow in the region and they are unstoppable. He knew that he was not too late and that at least he could look after the family.
"I'll finish it now," the butler replied politely as he stood there nervously.
He had never seen Vincent so nervous or alert before.
They would make a considerable loss by selling the business, but after seeing how determined Vincent was, the butler knew that they had no other choice.
"Also," Vincent looked at the butler as he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Don't let anyone know what's going on here today!"
The Sun family will not go down alone!
Chapter 456
Meanwhile.
Diane sighed deeply in the hotel room.
They have won this battle!
There is no problem for the Palmer Group to enter the southeast market. This new product alone has taken almost 30% of the market share in just one week.
That was a truly insane achievement!
It's pretty much a bestseller.
"Victoria, I really can't thank you enough!" Diane clasped Victoria's hand. "If it wasn't for you, I don't know how long it would have taken for us to get a result like this."
"How can you?" Victoria smile. "Given your talent and hard work, I'm sure it's not hard for you to do this. I believe you!"
"Ohhhhh you are so good! You say good things like that!" Diane laughed while holding Victoria's hand. "Follow me back to Greencliff and we'll go to a spa session together?"
Victoria looks. Ethan's in.
Ethan didn't come back with them early, so he definitely left to sort things out.
But what he doesn't know is that Ethan is better at solving people who create problems.
"Everything's sorted out?" ask Victoria.
"Yes." Yeah." Ethan just nodded and did not explain further.
He walked up to Diane and said, "Your mission here is considered finished. There's a lot of staff who will continue the work here, you can relax now."
The plan to move to the southeast was successful, and Diane did not need to stay and monitor the situation anymore. The staff they have trained and prepared can take over now.
"Okay, let's get ready to go back to Greencliff."
It wasn't long ago, but the pressure was incredible. The short time Diane spent at Castle Rock had made her very mature.
He has increased his understanding of expanding and opening up new markets, but he has also got a huge boost in terms of ability and confidence.
"Victoria?" she turned to look at Victoria.
"I don't think I can go back to Greencliff with you" Victoria smiled.
He could barely set aside enough time in his schedule to film a Palmer Group commercial, and there was plenty of other work he had to do.
But of course, she would do whatever she could for Diane, no matter how busy she was.
"There's a lot of work waiting for me. There are plenty of opportunities for us to go to spa sessions together, I'll look for you at Greencliff when I have time, okay?"
Diane pouted and was a little sad.
But she knew that Victoria was very busy, and even Diane herself was very busy, so she would not have much time to rest and relax.
"Alright then," he nodded a little sadly. "After you have time, you should come to Greencliff, okay?"
"You can always come to Starling City as well" Victoria replied.
After they chatted for a while longer, they finally parted ways and went to pack their things.
……
Ethan and Diane return to Greencliff, and an incredible smell comes out of the house.
"Mom! We're back!" Diane breathes air. "What are you cooking? It smells amazing!"
He did not even put down his things and directly ran into the kitchen.
"The kitchen is very greasy and smoky, don't go in!"
April stuck her head out and looked around. "Where is Ethan? Is he back? I made him some snacks."
Diane pouted sadly. He is April's biological son! But April has made these things for Ethan instead.
"He's back too! Parked car! Huh!"
Diane walks into the living room, dumps her bag on the sofa and deliberately frowns as she starts playing with her phone and ignores April.
"Mom, I'm back, '" Ethan walks into the house smiling. "What are you cooking for me? Smells good!"
"Diane was a little drunk on the way home, so she probably couldn't eat much, I'll eat it all."
"Of course, I don't make much. As long as it's enough for you."
Last April, back in the kitchen.
Diane really wants to cry now. His position in this household is getting lower.
How Ethan gets more love as a son-in-law than he does!
"Ethan Stupid! Ethan Stupid!" Diane muttered softly as she scrolled the news.
Suddenly a line of red text caught his attention and his expression instantly changed.
He started reading the article and his face paled. The hand holding the phone also started shaking.
He's mad!
"How did this happen? Why does something like that happen?!" Dian muttering. He then turned around and called out, "Ethan! Comehere! Hurry along!"
Ethan walks over and sees how anxious Diane is. He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"See this!" Diane gave Ethan her phone.
Ethan frowned when he saw the headlines in bold red.
"Victoria Clark's Popular Singer Twice? Can You Still Trust Celebrities Without Morals?"
Ethan knows that this report is entirely to tarnish Victoria's reputation!
Chapter 457
"How does something like that happen?"
Diane has complete confidence in Victoria's character.
Is this about two times? Victoria didn't even date anyone! He asked Victoria this.
This kind of accusation could destroy Victoria!
Diane immediately called Victoria, but no one picked up even after she called a few times and she became more anxious.
"Don't worry," Ethan comforts her. "He's been in the entertainment circle for a few years now and I'm sure he's been through this kind of thing and he knows how to handle it."
In addition, Victoria has experienced managers like Tyler who know how to protect Victoria.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Diane said.
The main point of this headline is not about Victoria twice and being a bad example. The main point was the second line on how he was immoral and unbelievable.
"Yup. I'm afraid this is also targeting the Palmer Group" Ethan nodded.
He can also know.
In fact, Victoria may have been dragged by the Palmer Group.
Someone launched a covert attack against the Palmer Group and targeted their new product. They deliberately tried to tarnish Victoria's reputation so that people would lose faith in her, and her fans and consumers would not believe her words anymore.
Can you still trust a picky person?
Can the product he represents be trusted as he says?
That's not possible.
The mastermind's main motive was to attack the Palmer Group and make sales of their new products go down.
What an aggressive move.
This kind of tactic not only attacked the Palmer Group, but also destroyed Victoria along the way.
"I couldn't reach her, and I couldn't reach Tyler either" Diane was really anxious right now.
She doesn't want Victoria's future ruined because of the Palmer Group.
It is difficult for celebrities with this kind of reputation to have a future. There was no way for him to return after this.
Victoria has told Diane that she even fought with her family to pursue her dream, so if her dream is dashed and she has no home to return to, Diane doesn't know if Victoria can accept it.
"Ethan, what should we do now?"
"I can't let Victoria's dream be shattered just because someone wants to attack the Palmer Group!" Dian almost cried.
Victoria had just returned to Starling City and she had to face this kind of problem. Can he handle it?
"Don't worry," Ethan pats Diane on the shoulder. "Let's just say, I'll visit Starling City, so don't worry anymore, okay?"
"Ethan..." Diane looked at. "I always get you so much trouble."
"That's exactly why I exist. I'm here to solve all your problems" Ethan laughed. He held Diane's face in his hand and said, "Stay home and eat well, brush your teeth and sleep, okay? I'll be right back."
"okay." Diane nodded, then kissed Ethan's cheek. "I'll wait for you at home."
Tom Foster came with Brother Geoff and a few others in no time.
April just came out of the kitchen and pulled out a snack. When he realized that Ethan was going out, he asked, "Didn't you just come back? Out again?"
He hasn't eaten a snack!
"I have to take care of a few things, I'll be right back," Ethan smiled and stuffed one of the snacks into his mouth even though it was very hot. "Ooh, it smells so good!"
"It's so hot! Don't do that!" April reprimanded. "I'll put this in a box, you can get it on the way!"
Ethan gets in the car, waves at Diane, then heads to the airport.
After all, he was thinking of immediately going to Starling City.
He wondered if the Striker had recovered. That party should have taken action by now.
Chapter 458
Meanwhile.
Jalak City, Star Entertainment.
Victoria was ordered to meet the boss when she landed in Starling City.
As he stepped into the office, he was scolded continuously for three whole hours and it did not stop at all.
"What an empty muzzle is this! That's complete bullshit!"
"Who do you think you are now? Do you still think you're an ordinary girl on the street?"
"Victoria, Victoria. Do you know how much the Company has spent on taking care of you? Is this how you pay the company? What else do you know besides creating problems for the company?"
Victoria said nothing as her boss, Anthony Rodriguez, kept pacing and yelling at her.
As the boss of Star Entertainment, it wasn't easy for Anthony to get someone like Victoria who could make a lot of money for him, so he spent a lot of money to take care of and package it. It was finally time to reap the rewards, but Victoria kept giving him new problems.
He almost had to expel her as a result!
"Not so long ago, you offended the Aker family. Don't you know what the Aker family's position is in Starling City?!" Anthony sneered, "They could have put you out of business! They could just kick you out of the entertainment industry!"
"If I don't go look for Timothy, the head of the family, do you think you can still stand here now?"
Viktoria remained silent.
Tyler can't hold it anymore.
The Aker family no longer makes trouble for Victoria not because Anthony has visited Timothy and asked for his help. It's because of Ethan!
It was not at all thanks to Anthony's efforts.
"Boss…"
"It's not your turn to speak!" Anthony turned to glare at Tyler and cut him off. "I haven't seen you!"
"I told you to be Victoria's manager and not her partner in crime. Do you know how to do your job?"
Anthony continued to shout furiously, "Are you only going to be satisfied after he is removed from the entertainment circle? Are you only going to learn after our company suffers tremendous losses?"
"Boss, we didn't do anything wrong" Tyler insisted.
They really didn't make a mistake. Rumors of discord in the entertainment industry.
There are even not-so-popular celebrities who have to make rumors for themselves to attract attention.
"You didn't make a mistake?" Anthony had a strange smile on his face. "Every major news outlet says that Victoria is two time and has poor moral values and is a celebrity with a bad record. Don't you know what this means?"
Tyler replied, "Of course I know, but this is just a rumor."
"the rumors? It depends who is spreading it!" shout Antonius.
"The person behind all this is from the north! Someone very famous in the entertainment circle and his goal is to destroy Victoria and our company!"
His back went up and down as he slammed the palm on the table.
"And a reason to do it? That's all because Victoria agreed to be a Palmer Group spokesperson without discussing with the company first! We are a collateral loss in the company fight!"
Anthony had been on this line for many years and he could see this attack very clearly.
He could accept being attacked or challenged by others directly, as the industry worked that way. If you don't attack someone today, someone will still attack you the next day.
But if he ends up offending someone he can't afford because of someone else, then he must shift all the blame onto Victoria!
"I'll bear all the responsibility!" Victoria suddenly spoke up. "If the company feels that I have affected them negatively, then you can go ahead and terminate my contract!"
Chapter 459
"Victoria!" Anthony was furious as he pointed his finger at Victoria. "Do you think I don't dare?!"
She never expected Victoria to speak to him like this.
He had caused so much trouble and might even drag his company down. And now he's just telling her to end her contract?
Does he think he doesn't dare to do it?
"Be my guest." Victoria seemed not bothered at all. "Approving to be a spokesperson for Palmer Group is my right. Our contract states very clearly that I have the right to choose such things, so it's not up to you."
He looked at Anthony and calmly continued, "I've earned enough money for the company to pay you for everything you've done for me. We can terminate the contract."
Victoria didn't bother to throw her saliva away for him.
After he became popular, the company had extorted every penny from him.
They have made him appear repeatedly on various media channels and do so many shows, and the company has taken most of his money. And her?
He only wanted to sing, but the company even sent him to eat and drink with others, making him wish he could get out of the industry altogether.
And now he has a chance to do it.
"Victoria!" Anthony was angry. "Do you know what you're talking about?!"
"If you dare to take one step out of this company, I won't protect you anymore! The people out there will crush you easily and you will regret this!"
Viktoria just laughed.
He looked at her like he was looking at a fool. She had no idea where Anthony found the confidence to say something like that to her.
When he's forced to hide out at Greencliff because of Jonathan, where's the boss who claims he can protect him?
Does he really think that Jonathan stopped bothering him because he went to beg Timothy?
What exactly is Anthony?
"I'm not sure about the rest, but I'm pretty sure that I, Victoria Clark, will never regret breaking up with a boss like you!"
Victoria glared at Anthony, then turned around and left.
Anthony was so angry that he trembled.
He wants to scold Victoria hard to scare her, then force her to get help from one of the big bosses in order to be protected. But it looks like Victoria would rather die.
"out! Out!" he roars. "I'll see how you get through this crisis! You're gonna be ruined, you hear me? You'RE RUINED! The entertainment industry will never have a place for you again!"
"Boss." Tyler's expression was just as bad.
Anthony has gone too far. Does he think that just because he is his boss, he can control Victoria for the rest of his life?
She had no idea that Victoria was now not a person to be taken lightly.
And that's because she's now Diane's best friend, and Diane is protected by a man who dotes on her with his life.
A powerful man who would even extend his protection to anyone who was Diane's friend!
Ethan's hunt!
"What are you still doing here? Get out and start working!" Anthony glared at him and shouted. "There are so many other artists in the company, we can always promote others!"
"No, Boss. I'd like to tell you that I quit." Tyler shook his head and went straight to the point. "I'm resigning, and I'm going to complete Victoria's contract termination."
He didn't give Anthony a second glance and just walked out.
The sound of something being destroyed came out of the office. No one sitting near the office even dared to breathe too hard.
Victoria took a deep breath after walking out of the office. He feels very relieved.
At first he was a little scared, afraid that he would have nothing once he left the company, and he was always afraid to go out. But now he suddenly felt relaxed.
He doesn't need to be on TV if he doesn't need to, he doesn't have to sing at events he doesn't like and he doesn't have to accompany all the slovenly old men who aren't actually fans of his songs.
It's not a bad thing to live the way he wants.
"Why are you here too?" Victoria turns around and notices that Tyler is also out.
"I've resigned," Tyler laughed. "I also don't want to stay in this broken company anymore. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have survived."
"Victoria, as long as you still want to sing, I'll be your manager" Tyler said seriously.
Victoria laughs.
He didn't even think about his future. Rumors about him are still spreading and it is very difficult to get rid of promiscuous labels and have a casual lifestyle.
It will be difficult to resolve this issue because he has left the company and does not have a PR team anymore.
His phone suddenly started ringing.
Victoria's phone was confiscated as soon as she got to the office, so after taking it back, she suddenly realized that she had several missed calls and everything was from Diane.
He felt the warmth in his heart.
"Diane, it's me" said Victoria. "I'm fine, don't worry."
"What's? Ethan's in Starling City?"
She's surprised. He had not expected Ethan to come to Starling City again.
Last time, Ethan comes personally to solve Jonathan and get rid of the big problem he has with the Aker family. This time, Ethan is here again to help her deal with her problem again.
"Dian, thank you." His eyes were slightly red and his voice hoarse.
He has earned so much money for the company over the past six years, but this is how it ends.
She had only known Diane recently, but Diane had always paid attention to her, protecting her with everything she had and never wanted to see her get hurt.
After hanging up, Ethan called shortly after.
She has arrived in Starling City and arranged to meet Victoria and Tyler at the hotel where she is staying.
News on the internet has already reached its boiling point.
The two men involved in the rumors are still arguing over who is closer to Victoria and refusing to let go. They did a good deed and it seemed like this was really the case, causing some netizens to mention Victoria by name.
They say she has no moral restraints and is actually twice this man and that she is a loose woman!
They said he had no morals and was a bad example to the public, so they wanted to ban him from singing again.
This even affected the products Victoria advertised. Sales of Palmer Group's new products also began to decline.
Chapter 460
Victoria never responded to those malicious articles and comments.
He knew that if he tried to defend himself, others would corner him and think that he was trying to cover up the truth.
Ethan sits in a hotel room and casually makes tea. There was no worry or anxiety on his face at all.
Victoria and Tyler sit down as they take tea from Ethan.
"Don't worry, this small matter will be finished tomorrow," Ethan said calmly with a smile.
"Tomorrow?"
Tyler surprised. Real fast?
But Ethan is sitting here and doing nothing. So how is this possible?
This kind of rumor in the entertainment industry is very difficult to fix. It is best to wait and let time fix it by itself. Whatever an artist does can destroy itself.
"Thank you very much, I'm sorry you had to come all the way here."
Victoria had no doubt that it would be completed the next day since Ethan said it.
"Either. This happened because someone tried to attack the Palmer Group and you ended up being part of it" Ethan said. "Diane has instructed me to make sure you don't get hurt."
"You really love Diane," Victoria put down her teacup and her face was filled with envy. "I'm so happy for her."
There aren't many good men in this world, but Ethan is definitely one of them.
Ethan was very capable, so there must be a lot of women who would throw themselves at him. But Ethan has always been loyal to Diane, and he admires her a lot for that.
Ethan just smiled and said nothing.
He has been through so much in his life. He has seen darkness, cruelty, evil. No one knows these things better than Ethan.
But that was precisely why Diane was so precious to him. This girl had a place in her heart since she was much younger, and her position in her heart was unshakable.
"Sister Ethan, you said someone was trying to attack the Palmer Group, so do you have any plans to fight back?" Tyler sipped some tea and asked out of concern. "I heard that the people who started this rumor about Victoria are from the north, and they have a high standing in the entertainment industry, so they might be hard to deal with."
Ethan poured more tea for the two of them and said nonchalantly, "They're just small fry, and I don't have to do anything myself."
He didn't come here just to help Victoria with this little problem.
It was time to shake Starling City.
As Ethan is not at all bothered by this, Victoria and Tyler are relieved.
They've seen what Ethan can do. Since Ethan lets them drink tea quietly, it means that even the biggest problem in the world can be solved easily like drinking two cups of tea for Ethan.
…
Meanwhile, Tom Foster and his men have made a move.
The lights are on and the warehouse is on.
Two celebrities have been arrested and shaken. These are the two people involved in the rumors about Victoria.
"Who are you.who are you! Let's go now!"
"Let go! We didn't offend you!"
They were both extremely frightened and did not even know why they had suddenly been kidnapped and taken to this place.
"Did I let you talk?" Brother Geoff walked forward and sent them flying with a kick.
"Damn it, a girly face like this is going to be a celebrity? I'll probably crush them with one kick!"
"Let go! Please let us go!"
Both began to plead.
Tom Foster waved his hand and the other people came forward and slapped them both unconscious.
"Let's start," he ordered calmly.
This kind of thing doesn't require Ethan to come here personally.
They've had enough…
