Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Relying on the Mountain
Knowing that Scarlett Jackson was trying to annoy her, Molly Walker remained calm and just gave Michael Gallagher a light glance.
Michael Gallagher’s lips had a faint, nearly imperceptible cold smile: “Miss Jackson seems to know quite a bit of news.”
His voice was as cold as an ice awl, and his playful tone sent chills down people’s spines.
Scarlett Jackson stood there with her cheeks flushed, not knowing where to put her hands.
Michael Gallagher then looked at Molly Walker, his deep eyes filled with guilt: “I’ll talk to the organizers.”
This matter was his mental knot. At that time, because of Violet Summers’ instigation and learning about Molly’s intention to withdraw from the competition, he had impulsively agreed to Molly’s withdrawal.
It was his failure to investigate thoroughly that led to the misunderstanding.
Molly shook her head: “No need.”
Although she couldn’t represent Gallagher Group in the competition, she could still participate on behalf of her organization, which was a blessing in disguise.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Michael felt a tightness in his chest.
The damage he had caused her was too great, and he could only make up for it with a lifetime of effort.
As the two exchanged glances and faced the curious eyes of those around them, Scarlett felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Repeated humiliation had left her with almost nothing to save face.
“Miss Jackson, there is other jewelry in the store. Would you like to take a look at them?” Mr. Powell, seeing the awkward atmosphere, tried to smooth things over.
“No need,” Scarlett replied, chest aching with anger. She turned towards the door, but as she reached Molly’s side, she seemed to remember something. “Oh, by the way, Miss Thompson, there’s something I wanted to tell you.”
“Olivia Sawyer was fired by her company, and all her endorsements have been terminated publicly. She now has no resources and is a true amateur.”
Scarlett said this with a hint of smugness.
Although she couldn’t teach Ivy Thompson a lesson for now, she could still make a move on Olivia Sawyer. In the entertainment industry, connections and resources were crucial. Her time spent there hadn’t been in vain.
If Olivia had really been a top-tier celebrity, Scarlett wouldn’t have been able to put her on hold so quickly. But Olivia was merely an up-and-coming actress who had dared to go against Scarlett just as her career began to take off. The consequence was having her acting career nipped in the bud.
After Scarlett finished speaking, she expected Molly’s expression to change. However, Molly didn’t get angry and, instead, laughed heartily.
“All terminated?”
Scarlett felt inexplicably confused, as though Molly seemed happy to hear such news.
“Yes, all terminated.” Scarlett raised her chin, trying to stay calm, “I don’t know what Olivia is thinking, whether she hates you or me.”
“I don’t know if she hates you, but she’s definitely grateful to you for terminating the contracts.” Molly’s smile was enigmatic, her beautiful eyes shining like stars.
Initially, Molly thought it would take some effort on the part of No. 6, but she didn’t expect Scarlett’s efficiency to be so high that Olivia’s contracts were terminated within a day.
Seeing Molly’s face full of excitement, Scarlett felt like her breath was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
It was as if she had just punched a ball of cotton – not only did it not hurt the other party, but it also made her look like a laughingstock.
Scarlett even wondered if Ivy Thompson and Olivia Sawyer had a grudge, or else how could Molly be so happy about Olivia’s termination?
That smile showed no signs of being fake.
Scarlett could sense that Molly’s happiness and excitement were genuine and even carried a sense of anticipation.
“Miss Thompson, you may not know what it means for so many brands to terminate their contracts with a celebrity,” Scarlett clenched her fingers, trying to keep her smile from looking too ugly. “Olivia will fade away in the entertainment industry, and she will never have a chance to appear on the big screen again.”
“Is that so…” Molly winked playfully, “Let’s wait and see whether Olivia will be down and out or rise from the ashes and embark on the path of a top-tier celebrity.”
“Top-tier?” Scarlett couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. “Did I hear that wrong? Top-tier? Hahaha, Ivy Thompson, what are you talking about? Do you think becoming a top-tier celebrity is easy?”
A person without endorsements and connections in the entertainment industry could become a top-tier celebrity?
What a daydream!
This was probably the biggest joke Scarlett had heard all year.
“Miss Thompson, I think you and Olivia should just give it up and go to bed. In your daydreams, anything is possible.”
Scarlett laughed sweetly, and the thought of Ivy Thompson getting slapped in the face at the end instantly dissipated her anger.
She wanted to see how Ivy Thompson would be slapped in the face.
Even if Ivy Thompson was an employee of the “W” organization, as long as she took out the token at the right time and let the organization expel Ivy Thompson, Ivy’s greatest support would be gone.
The more she thought about it, the happier Scarlett Jackson became. She swept away her previous gloomy mood, left the store with a spring in her step.
At this moment, a message from Harry Lambert arrived.
Seeing the words “done” on the screen, Molly Walker’s lips gently curled upwards, and her smile was as bright as peach blossoms on a branch.
After Scarlett left the shopping mall, her eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
Recalling Ivy’s words, she stopped in her tracks and anxiously opened her Moments.
The first Moment was from Olivia Sawyer.
“Signed with Jayden Group, starting a new chapter.”
The accompanying photo was of Olivia and a middle-aged man.
This man, Scarlett recognized, was the famous director Benjamin Lewis.
A loud “Boom” of thunder exploded in Scarlett Jackson’s ears.
Olivia signed with the Jayden Group?
No, that’s impossible. How could the Jayden Group sign Olivia! There must be some mistake.
Scarlett looked at it countless times, and after confirming this message was not only visible to her, she hurriedly called the boss of the Jayden Group.
Her cell phone was continuously busy, so she turned to call the secretary of the boss of Jayden Group.
“Miss Jackson.” The secretary’s voice was polite and gentle.
“Did you sign Olivia Sawyer?”
“Yes, we just signed her today. From now on, Olivia Sawyer will be one of our company’s key artists.”
The secretary’s voice was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Scarlett Jackson dizzy.
Did that b*tch Olivia Sawyer really sign with the Jayden Group?
Why?
“Don’t you know that she offended me? I want to put her on ice, put her on ice, have you all turned a deaf ear to that?” Scarlett nearly went mad when she thought about Olivia not only not being put on ice, but actually getting a promotion.
“Miss Jackson, we know that you and she are not on good terms, but she’s now someone that even the Big Boss wants to give a boost. Our Boss has no choice, he dares not offend the Big Boss!”
“Big Boss?” Scarlett’s voice suddenly rose, “How does Olivia Sawyer know the Big Boss? She… ”
Her voice abruptly stopped, and Scarlett thought of Ivy Thompson’s words.
This Big Boss was only known to the senior executives in the entertainment industry, as someone so powerful that any actor and investor had to give him some face.
Scarlett didn’t expect Ivy Thompson to have actually persuaded the Big Boss to promote Olivia. No wonder she said Olivia had the chance to become a top-tier celebrity.
As long as the Big Boss was pushing someone, they could definitely become top-tier.
Scarlett clenched her cell phone, her expression almost hideous with jealousy.
Big Boss, Ivy Thompson had actually persuaded the Big Boss!
No wonder Ivy Thompson was fearless, having such a big backing.
“Miss Jackson, the Boss also said, in the face of people like Olivia Sawyer, you’d better let bygones be bygones. As long as Olivia becomes top-tier, she can make money for our company as well. You need to think bigger, and never fight with money, even if you fight with people.”
Although the secretary’s words were conveyed, they seemed like a tapeworm in the stomach of the boss of Jayden Group, speaking in his tone.
Scarlett almost fainted with anger.
She didn’t need money, but she had to fight for her pride now!
“Tell your boss, if he insists on signing Olivia Sawyer, I’ll leave the company.”
