Chapter 275: Termination of Contract
Daniel noticed Oliviaโs gaze fixed on the stack of documents. He instinctively reached out to grab them, but Olivia kicked the desk so forcefully that Daniel was nearly knocked over and looked like he might vomit.
Olivia picked up the stack of papers. In addition to her original signing contract, the stack included her recent contracts with Tobie and Director Hua, along with detailed records of the revenue splits from Spark Live. Finally, she found a bill.
The bill claimed that since Olivia signed with the company, they had arranged for several mentors to train her in various skills. Each session came with exorbitant fees. Beyond these fabricated lessons, there were also inflated promotional expenses and evenโฆ charges for overseas plastic surgery?
In her past life, Olivia had never gained much fame or earned significant income. With her focus entirely on Alexander, she had paid no attention to the companyโs dealings. She never imagined that this small, shady company could be so brazenly corrupt.
โIโve never seen any of this,โ Olivia said coldly, waving the bill in front of Daniel.
Danielโs face turned ghostly pale. These were internal documents meant to justify siphoning off all Oliviaโs earnings.
โWell, Lโฆโ
Olivia let out a cold laugh. Since her rebirth, she had been busy making money. She didnโt care that the company was smallโshe could find her own resources, as long as they played fair with the revenue split. After all, filing a lawsuit could be a lengthy and costly process, often taking over a year to resolve. During that time, she wouldnโt be able to take on new roles, cutting off most of her income. But nowโฆ if she tolerated this any longer, she might as well be a turtle reincarnated!
โI want to terminate my contract!โ
Daniel stammered, โNo problem! We can terminate it! Butโฆ the termination has to be approved by the boss. You know, the boss rarely comes to the officeโฆโ
At this moment, Daniel didnโt dare say no to Olivia. Olivia shot him a glare, understanding that ending the contract wouldnโt be so simple.
Without wasting more words, she grabbed the documents, opened the door, and walked out. The crowd gathered outside instinctively stepped back when they saw her.
โOlivia!โ Jared stepped forward.
โIโm terminating my contract. Are you staying here or coming with me?โ Olivia asked. She felt no attachment to the company but had taken a liking to Jaredโs character.
โOf course, Iโm coming with you!โ Jared responded without hesitation. He was still an intern and hadnโt signed a formal contract; leaving was as simple as walking out.
Olivia patted Jared on the head and strode confidently out of the company, Jared following closely behind.
After Olivia left, Daniel finally pushed the desk aside and struggled to his feet, his face contorted with pain. โWhat are you all standing around for? Get back to work!โ he roared, furious at the mocking looks from the onlookers. The crowd dispersed instantly like frightened birds.
Clutching his aching stomach, Daniel surveyed the wreckage in his office, his eyes filled with hatred. โTerminate the contract? Not that easy!โ Though the company was small, their legal department was no pushover. Even if Olivia filed for termination, they could easily drag it out for over a year. The entertainment industry moved at lightning speed; being out of the public eye for a year would erase all the momentum Olivia had painstakingly built.
