Chapter 73
“I really can’t lose these endorsements! Mr. Spence, please, I beg you. Let me meet Joshua just once. I’m begging you!” Gloria rushed over, trying to grab Terence.
But Terence gently stepped aside and avoided her.
The contracts had already been stamped with Stellar Group’s seal and were officially effective.
Watching Terence’s cold back, Gloria sat on the ground in a daze.
She had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant!
Gloria left Stellar Group in despair and took a Navigator SUV back to her studio.
She cried and called her mother Shelia.
Shelia picked up the phone, but all she heard was Gloria’s crying on the other end.
*Gloria, what’s wrong?” Shelia asked worriedly.
“Mom, Joshua withdrew all my endorsements. I’m done…” Gloria sobbed.
“What? How did this happen?” Shelia asked anxiously.
“Joshua found out that I hired the media to smear that bitch Christy…”
Gloria cried and said, “He was so angry that he terminated my contract for her. What am I going to do?”
“But doesn’t the contract last for three years? By doing this, isn’t he breaching the contract? Will he compensate you for the losses?” Shelia was concerned about the benefits.
“He compensated me with three million dollars, but I don’t need money right now…” Gloria became more and more upset.
Three million dollars! That was a lot! Gloria only earned about one hundred thousand dollars for a commercial performance!
Shelia thought Gloria didn’t need to do anything and had three million dollars in hand, which could be invested and multiplied. So she became calmer.
“Why did Joshua favor Christy so much? Do they really have some kind of inappropriate relationship as rumored?” Shelia
frowned and asked.
“No… As far as I can see, they shouldn’t have. Joshua has high standards that even I can’t up to. How could he be interested in her? I think he might be angry that I indirectly damaged his image, causing a drop in the profits of the products 1 endorsed… Gloria said.
“Gloria, what are you saying? Aren’t you dating Joshua? Why did he get so angry over such a small matter? Can’t he prioritize your feelings over his own interests after several years of a relationship?” Shelia asked.
“Mom, I’m not dating him at all…” Gloria said in a distressed tone.
“But isn’t the media always reporting that you are together? Didn’t you attend a ball together a few days ago?” Shelia asked anxiously.
“Mom, it’s all acting. He often attends important events and needs a female companion by his side. I go to be his companion every time, and I get paid for it. Our relationship is like a labor relationship, but he never treated me as a girlfriend, and he never touched me in these years…
“I only admitted it in front of you because I didn’t want you to be disappointed in me, and to save you some face. There are also rumors about him and me in the media, but he never denied it, so everyone took it as true. In this way, I can get a lot of resources in the entertainment circle as his girlfriend… But I really didn’t expect things to turn out this bad. Mom, what should I do?“ Gloria cried.
“Gloria, even without Joshua, you can still continue your career as a celebrity! You have millions of fans now, your own studio, and plenty of connections and resources. Why worry about not getting any work?” Shelia calmly analyzed for Gloria.
As Gloria cried, she spoke, “Mom, I understand. But those people are willing to give me resources because they fear Joshua is backing me up, and therefore, they won’t do anything to me. That’s why I can act without being confined by the unspoken rules in the entertainment circle, and focus on filming. If everyone finds out that Joshua and I have broken up, those people will definitely bully me… I don’t want to be touched by those people. It feels dirty.”
“Since it’s tough to make it in the entertainment industry, you should just quit the industry! I don’t want to see you suffer. Besides, you’ve already saved up a lot of money over the years, and you can invest in the business to have a way out!” Shelia suggested.
“Mom, I simply adore being a celebrity! I yearn for the feeling of receiving flowers and applause and being adored by millions of fans. If I cannot become a star, I feel like my life will lose all meaning!” Gloria wept, her sadness growing more intense by the minute.
Chapter 73
Shelia listened and sighed deeply.
She never expected her daughter to be so persistent in pursuing her dream of becoming a star.
“Gloria, there is still hope. You only terminated your contract today, so not many people are aware of it yet. Fortunately, when you were at the height of your career, 1 insisted that you establish your own studio, which will come in handy now. Joshua only terminated your contract. He did not put an end to your career. You have your own studio and are not bound by Joshua’s contract, so you can take on projects on your own. Shelia said calmly.
“Now, everyone still believes you are Joshua’s girlfriend, which will give you some chances to win their respect. You should take advantage of this gap period before the Stellar Group’s new product spokesperson debuts and try to grab as many resources as possible from the entertainment industry. This way, even if your relationship ends up being exposed, you will have established a firm footing in the entertainment industry, and I don’t think anyone would dare to mess with you. Going forward, you need to keep a low profile and not alarm the Stellar Group in order to successfully transition to your new phase,” Shelia advised.
Gloria’s mind widened as Shelia’s words opened her mind to new possibilities. Suddenly, her future seemed much brighter.
“Mom, thank you for your guidance. You are so intelligent, you are my best teacher, and I admire you so much!” Gloria said, wiping away her tears.
“If I weren’t smart enough, how could I be your mother, Gloria? It’s not convenient to talk about this on the phone. Let’s discuss it in detail when you come back!” Shelia said.
“Okay, Mom Gloria hung up the phone, wiped away her tears, and a chilling smile appeared on her lips.
Gloria vowed to make Christy repay everything she lost today, with interest, and she believed she could do it!
Gloria cursed hysterically.
In the planning department, after Gloria’s outburst, Christy’s mood was seriously affected.
So much had happened in the past day that Christy’s mind couldn’t process it all.
Just then, Christy’s phone rang.
It was her good friend Victoria calling.
“Christy, where did you, Alan, and Clara go last night? Why didn’t you come back all night? I’ve been calling you, but you didn’t answer. I heard there was an armed kidnapper who broke into the Mastery Kindergarten and abducted a child. Are Alan and Clara okay?”
Victoria’s worried voice came through the phone…
Christy suddenly realized that she had forgotten to inform Victoria about something important.
After returning to the country, she stayed with Alan and Clara at Victoria’s house.
Last night, something happened to Alan, and Christy was forced to get into Joshua’s car. Unfortunately, Joshua also took away her phone, and she hadn’t had the chance to inform Victoria about the situation.
