Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 95

Chapter 95

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they began whispering among themselves, but no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Ophelia added. "If no one objects, I'll bring in a professional team to assess your strengths and assign resources. This way, you'll each have work lined up after the new year."

"Really!" someone asked, still in disbelief.

Someone echoed. "You're not going to just give us background roles, are you?"

"Resources are limited, and you'll have to prove yourself. But if you want to terminate your contract, now's your chance," Ophelia said, glancing at her watch. "You only get one shot. After today, you'll have to pay a penalty to break your contract." A large portion of the group was tempted. They thought. She is ruthless, backed by an army of bodyguards, and has just sent Nathan and Emily to jail. No one wants to cross her.

As soon as the first person asked to terminate their contract, a second quickly followed. Ophelia was more than happy to let them go.

It wasn't long before the news of Sungate Entertainment's change in ownership hit the internet. Not only had the company changed hands, but its name was now "SN Entertainment",

That same day, SN Entertainment issued nine statements announcing the termination of contracts with various artists, each statement wishing them a bright future.

At the same time, Nathan's embezzlement scandal blew up online. Nathan took full responsibility at the police station, so Emily was released after giving her statement.

Back at Hastings Villa, Heather was frantic. She couldn't get through to Owen, so she swallowed her pride and tried calling Opheha, only to discover that she'd been blocked.

When Owen finally answered, he immediately started berating Heather. Learning that Nathan had been caught embezzling company funds gave him a massive headache. With the end of the year approaching, everything was a mess. "Give the phone to Emily, Owen demanded.

Heather handed the phone to Emily. Emily asked. "Dad, what should we do?"

"Sell the shares you're holding and use the money to cover Nathan's losses.
