Chapter 190
Sheila and Tracy headed back to the hospital room to grab their stuff They wanted to get back home ASAP to comfort Arnold.
Just as they walked into the room, there was Elinor, chilling in a chair, looking completely at ease.
This sight just ticked off Sheila and Tracy, who were already at their wits end!
Sheila stepped up to give her a shove, but before she could, Elinor had a firm grip on her wrist.
With a nonchalant look, Elinor asked, “Why the sneak attack, sis?”
Imitated, Sheila retorted, “Elinor, you’re behind all of this, aren’t you?”
Tracy chimed in, “Yeah, it has to be you!”
Elinor tilted her head. “What are you talking about? What did I do? Every decision you made was your own, right?”
Furious, Sheila clenched her teeth and was about to slap Elinor when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Both Sheila and Tracy turned to see Chase, the Vice President of the Crescent Society, standing at the door with a polite, gentlemanly gesture
Sheila immediately put on a charming smile and said, “Oh, Mr. Larios, what brings you here?”
Chase replied with a smile: “Your assistant told me you were here.”
Her assistant? That would be Elinor! Did Elinor and Mr. Larios had some kind of secret connection?
Sheila then remembered that Mr. Larios had confessed his feelings for Elinor.
Did Elinor agree to date Chase?
Sheila was green with jealousy at the thought, and she asked, “So, Mr. Larios, you are here to…”
“To see you,” Chase cut her off.
Sheila was overjoyed and said smugly, “Oh, you’re here to see me. It must be about the endorsement deal, right? Mr. Larios, don’t worry, I’ll fully cooperate no matter what you require!”
Chase walked in and replied, “That’s great to hear, Ms. Mendoza. I have the contract you signed with us yesterday, and we would like to terminate it. If you could please sign
this
Sheila’s smile froze. “Terminate? Mr. Larios, I don’t get it. We just signed the contract yesterday. Why do you want to terminate it now?”
“Ms. Mendoza, haven’t you been following the news? Your negative news is trending, and you’ve been labeled as a scandalous star. Our contract clearly states that the endorser needs to maintain a positive image. With your scandal, you are fully responsible, and we have the right to terminate the contract without conditions.”
Negative news? Sheila was stunned and quickly checked her phone. What she saw made her face turn pale
It was the short video taken by the bystanders. The faces of Pollock and his wife were blurred out.
Obviously, Pollock had used his connections to wipe himself and his wife from the video, leaving her to face the music alone!
