Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 470 How Did She Get Her Hands on This?

It was just a normal little act of intimacy between a married couple, but it felt different after so many people knew about it.

Seeing everyone’s excited faces around her, Elspeth wished she could just disappear. Just then, Harper walked up next to her like a savior to her rescue.

“Elspeth, I have something to talk to you about.”

Elspeth glanced at the people around her, then faked a smile. “I have something to attend to. Go back to work, and don’t talk about anything unrelated to work. If I catch anyone doing that, I’ll deduct their pay for one month.”

An occasional gossip was fine, but if their pay was at stake, they would know where to draw the line. Hence, everyone quickly lowered their heads and feigned ignorance as they turned their focus on making money.

The coworker who started all this was also chased away with a glare. Elspeth followed Harper to the office. As soon as she sat down, Harper placed a contract in front of her.

“This is a contract we’ve signed with Hopper Corp. concerning the talent management company. Now, Hopper Corp. wants to break the contract. They even said that 50 million in liquidated damages is nothing to them, but the contract must be terminated.”

Elspeth immediately frowned.

It was true that 50 million in liquidated damages meant nothing, but the partnership with Hopper Corp. could greatly benefit Azure. The internet business was thriving, so why wouldn’t they want in on the deal?

“Do you know why Hopper Corp. wants to terminate the contract?”

Harper thought for a bit, then said, “I’m not very sure about the details, but according to our intel, in the past three days, Hopper Corp. has had close contact with Arthur Winthrop. Their representative even had a meal with Arthur three days ago, and they seemed to be on good terms.”
