Dominic coughed and came forward to explain.“Some time ago, Fabian privately terminated the contract with us. He was still very dissatisfied with our efforts to support Harvey and privately worked together with many fans to cause trouble. Our company was disturbed by those fans, so we could only terminate the contract.”Nicole looked at him suspiciously and was just about to open her mouth to say something.Dominic immediately realized something and explained himself.“I didn’t manipulate anything. Everyone knows that I spent a lot of money on him. But he still has a lot of fans, and it’s not worthwhile for us to spend money on lawsuits and control public opinion. Besides, Harvey and Fabian are both from our company. The fans want the company to step in and determine who’s the ‘big brother’ and who’s the ‘middle child’. They act like they won’t give up until they know. With Harvey’s current worth, it’s impossible to let him be the middle child after he was officially announced as
Nicole was stunned. “A family studio?”Dominic snickered. “You’re quite professional. That’s why I’m not worried about his contract termination at all. Some occupations can only be done when a person is young. He can’t keep this up forever. It’ll be time to transition in a couple of years. Maybe he’ll have to come back obediently. Even if he doesn’t come back, we won't lose anything.”Nicole clicked her tongue. It was no wonder a shrewd man like Dominic was so obedient as to terminate the contract without use of any underhanded tactics, even though it looked like an obvious money-losing deal.Kai and the manager stood in front, not at all concerned about the contents of their conversation.In this business, outsiders were able to see clearer and further than the parties directly involved.Although Fabian’s momentum was strong, there were countless artists with the same type of persona as him.Without the strong backing of the company, and that home studio of his that was neither
The man with the saxophone in his hands subconsciously flushed and took a few steps back.He was really ashamed to show his face.Maddox, the one who had been standing in the middle, remained expressionless. His eyes were sharp, and his face was calm.The instructor on the side was also a little ashamed.He had not encountered such a situation before. There were too many people, so he could not teach them individually. The effect would naturally be greatly reduced.Dominic did not say much and cut to the chase.“Alright, I found a last-minute teacher for you. She can give you a demonstration.”Then, Dominic respectfully retreated to the side.He extended his hand, and his voice boomed.“Please welcome, Ms. Stanton—”Nicole was furious. When she walked to the exit, she suddenly heard her name.‘That damned Dominic Young! I’ll find a chance to kill him!’ Nicole thought.She turned around.Kai looked at her with a vague smile and went over to pat her shoulder.“Don’t worry,
At the end of the song, Nicole’s finger landed on the last key. It was a perfect ending.The violin also stretched for two seconds. The coordination of the piece matched quite well.Everyone was subconsciously immersed in it.Dominic took the lead in applauding.Then, everyone burst out in extremely enthusiastic applause.Nicole stood up and turned around. The person who played the violin was the eye-catching Maddox.She paused for a moment before smiling at them.“That’s it for today. You guys keep practicing!”Then, she lifted her feet and went back to the room she was in just now.Kai did not reveal his face, most likely because he felt that it was troublesome. However, he did watch the show.He posted a short clip he took of them earlier to his social media with the caption: “The daily life of a rich woman indulging in luxury!”Kai put his phone away when Nicole came in.“OMG, that was great!”Nicole rolled her eyes speechlessly at him. “If you say one more word, I gua
Luca opened the door for her, and Nicole bent down and got in.Soon, the car left.Dominic sighed in relief. His legs almost gave out.“Why is that lady always angry? Didn't Kai say his sister is the best-tempered person in the world?”Dominic really wondered how Kai grew up.To the side, Maddox pursed his lips. “Mr. Young, does Ms. Stanton not like me? Can I still make my debut?”Dominic patted his shoulder and comforted him.“It’s fine. Ms. Stanton is a devoted person. She hasn’t broken up with her boyfriend yet, so she can’t pass through that hurdle in her conscience. You have to have confidence in yourself. Your chance will come when she breaks up.”Maddox was speechless.Nicole was right to scold Dominic. He really never learned from his mistakes!In the car.Kai looked at the silent Nicole and secretly felt a little guilty.He was just about to take out his phone to delete the video from this social media when he suddenly saw Nicole open up her social media.His hear
Nicole kept panicking when she looked at the phone.She did not know why she was so angry either.It was just a video. It was nothing out of the ordinary.However, Nicole seemed a little afraid. She was afraid that Clayton would see it. She was afraid that he would misunderstand.How was she supposed to explain herself if he misunderstood?Nicole went back to her room and looked at her phone with a restless soul.One minute, five minutes, ten minutes... Nothing.Did he not see it?As long as that thought flashed by, Nicole instantly felt much better.In Liberty.Clayton lost his mood to work the moment he saw the video on Kai’s social media.Kai’s caption was clearly a joke.However, in the video, Nicole and the man playing the violin were too harmonious and well-coordinated.Clayton felt a very strong sense of crisis. He thought, ‘Should I ask her about this video? Will she get angry? Will she think that I’m small-minded?’Clayton hesitated and felt even more stuffy in
Clayton hung up the phone and looked at his assistant.The assistant said, “It’s Mrs. Sloan.”It was Quavon’s legal wife, a woman of noble birth with a strong family background.From the moment Clayton entered the Sloan family, he was forced to accept the cold eyes of the Sloan family.However, Clayton had only seen Mrs. Sloan a few times. That woman lived in her own home most of the time, and her marriage with Quavon was only an exchange of interests. There were no personal feelings involved.After Mrs. Sloan gave birth to Liam, she finished her task and never stepped foot in the Sloan family again.She had no disgust, persecution, resentment, or liking for Clayton. She was just indifferent. She was indifferent to everyone in the Sloan family.Usually, in instances where children were born out of wedlock, the wife in the affluent family would either give the illegitimate children a sum of money to send them off or send the illegitimate child to a remote place.Very few people
Back in the Sloan family, Liam had only seen his mother a few times. However, whenever Liam mentioned his mother, he was very happy. Every day, Liam looked forward to his mother coming to pick him up.However, she never did.The woman lowered her eyes, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and held it between her fingers without smoking it.She just let it burn away.“Back then, I didn’t agree for Liam to date that girl because she was one of Quavon’s people. Quavon wanted to find an excuse to drive Liam out of the house, so he deliberately set up a trap.”Clayton shook violently.The woman smiled faintly. “Quavon spared no effort to pave the way for the son he had with his stepmother. So, do you know why I would rather Liam hate me than let that woman marry him?”In the end, she paused.“But I didn’t expect them to have a child. Liam was still a boy himself, but he got a woman pregnant so capriciously. It’s a good thing that the woman was killed by Isaac not long after
