Chapter 5 Ten Times For The Breach Of Contract

Damn it! What a waste for her not to be in a movie with such acting skills! I couldn't help but growl in my mind. "It's fine. I'm strong and not afraid of the rain. It's good that you're okay." I didn't want to play along with her anymore, so I walked around the table and got ready to work. My words took Jessa by surprise. She rolled her eyes and looked back at Easton, "Easton, it's my fault for making Madeleine come all this way for nothing. Can you let her join us for breakfast as my way of making amends to her, please?" I ... Easton was originally sitting there impassively and didn't even look at me. When he heard Jess's words, he put down the hairdryer and looked up at me, "Come over for breakfast." His tone was cold. Did it hurt? I was used to it! I could never be cold and refuse the people I loved. The words "mixed emotions" were not enough to describe how I felt right now. I put on a smile and said softly, "Thank you." Then I turned and sat down in the other corner of the sofa. "Madeleine, try this fried bun, which is a favorite of me and Easton. Whenever we're together, he has to get in line to get it." Jessa handed me a fried bun. I looked down at the fried bun, thinking it was not a bun but poison, and held it in my hand without eating it. Seeing that I didn't react, Jessa was a little embarrassed. She turned to Easton and said with a smile, "Easton, if I go to the shooting, you must buy fried buns to visit me." Easton froze for a moment as if he had just remembered why he came to me today. He turned to glare at me and said coldly, "Terminate your contract with Alana immediately." "You said that I would run the company." I was frightened by him, but I had to be tough when it came to the company. Alana was the female lead I had managed to sign, so how could I terminate the contract with her so easily? Alana was one of the four most popular actresses for the time being. She was pretty and had amazing acting skills. The key thing was that all the male leads she worked with were sure to be popular. "Lady Elizabeth Avila" was set to be the big play of the year for the company, and I was counting on her to turn the production into a hit and bring the company's male actors to the top at the same time. "Madeleine, you mustn't be angry with Easton. It's my fault that I haven't done any films since my debut. The main thing is that I haven't found a role I like. When I heard about 'Lady Elizabeth Avila' this time, I mentioned to Easton that I wanted to play the female lead. I didn't know you had already signed other actresses." Jessa once again looked at me with an ashamed look of trepidation and self-condemnation! "It's none of your business. Just eat," Easton said and patted her hair gently. When he turned to me again, he became cold again. He raised his voice, "I also said that I run TC Pictures for Jessa, and everything is subject to her wishes." His tone was irresistible and domineering. He was right. TC Pictures was indeed opened for Jessa. Three years ago, Easton married me, and Jessa made more than a fuss about it. To make her happy, Easton bought her a film company called TC Pictures, which was designed to promote Jessa. Perhaps to take it out on Jessa, Easton moved me in to manage the film company. If I was the thorn in Easton's heart, then TC Pictures was the arrow he put in mine to avenge Jessa. For three years, Jessa never filmed, and she did nothing but cling to Easton and cause me all kinds of trouble. Every day, I had to deal with Jessa's problems, in addition to watching how my beloved showed his affection towards Jessa and trampled on me. The rare thing was that I paid to keep Jessa, who had nothing to show for her work, in the limelight, while at the same time running the company well. Several of the films I had invested in were huge hits and I made several of the company's young actors into top stars. "The contract has already been signed. If you cancel it, the breach of contract is ten times." I was telling the truth. Alana had a full schedule. I had offered almost an astronomical price to sign her. "That's your business!" With that, Easton got up and pulled Jessa away. "Easton," I called out to him when I saw him about to leave again.
