Chapter 277: When Has Olivia Ever Been Afraid?

Daniel could never have imagined that a simple contract termination with an artist could escalate all the way to a military court!

“Shouldn’t we investigate this? Normally, a military court wouldn’t take on a case like this…”

“Investigate? How? If you’ve got the guts, go ask the military court yourself why they’re handling it!” The boss let out a sharp, bitter laugh, practically shaking with anger.

Daniel swallowed hard. The boss rubbed his temples, his head pounding.

“This lawsuit cannot happen! You’re going to terminate Olivia’s contract immediately—no delays!”

Daniel was stunned. Yesterday, he had been brimming with confidence, eager to drag Olivia through endless litigation. Today, the boss was demanding that he rush to terminate her contract instead—and as quickly as possible?

Although Daniel felt deeply resentful, he had no choice but to obey the boss’s orders.

Soon, Daniel prepared all the necessary documents and finalized the termination of Olivia’s contract. With the termination agreement in hand, Olivia officially severed all ties with her former company.

However, the withheld earnings were still not returned. Olivia narrowed her eyes.

The reason the termination had made it to a military court was simple—she had signed an agreement with Brogan the day before to become an instructor at Borealia Military Academy.

However, recovering her unpaid earnings would have to go through regular civil court channels, which meant the process could drag on indefinitely.

But Olivia wasn’t in a rush. She could let the money sit with that little, wretched company for now. One day, she would make Daniel beg her to take it back.

“What’s your plan next, Olivia?” Jared asked after also leaving the company. “Should I help you find a few other companies?”

Olivia rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

Working with companies always involved revenue splits, and Vance’s company was completely off her list of options.

“I’m thinking of starting my own entertainment company,” she declared. “Why work for someone else when I could be the boss?”

This way, every penny she earned would go straight into her own pocket—and she could even have others working to make her money!

Feeling reinvigorated by the idea, Olivia immediately set to work.

Wasting no time, Olivia registered her company, rented an office space, and began setting up shop with Jared, buying office supplies.

Meanwhile, Daniel, stewing with anger, decided to take to Twitter. He announced Olivia’s contract termination and insinuated that she was an ungrateful backstabber who had abandoned her old company after becoming successful. As Olivia’s former manager, he claimed the company had been nothing but supportive and dedicated, investing heavily in her career.

Gullible bystanders, swayed by Daniel’s narrative, swarmed Olivia’s Twitter, calling her a traitor and an ingrate. Many believed that her recent roles in “A Little Spark of Joy” and “Under the Sky” were far beyond what someone of her previous stature could have secured, assuming the company had spent a fortune to get her those opportunities.

Seeing Daniel’s Twitter posts, Olivia smirked coldly.

“You take care of the rest. I’ve got something to handle,” she told Jared before heading off.

Finding a nearby internet café, Olivia got to work.

Inciting public opinion? Did they really think I am easy to bully?

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she hacked into Daniel’s computer. Since he enjoyed stirring up trouble, she’d make the situation explode.

It didn’t take long for Olivia to uncover a treasure trove of incriminating material on Daniel’s computer. There were extensive chat logs and… some utterly disgusting videos.
