Chapter 273
ut nonsense and act recklessly y out there because of his good looks, it was just a matter of time before Lucas
As someone who liked to spout
ruined his own reputation.
Bryce knew Maeve had a backup plan when he heard that.
As expected, a scandal about Lucas broke out in less than three days.
Lucas couldn’t get into trouble before the best actor evaluation. Despite being extra careful, Brooks Media couldn’t stop the reporters.
In an instant, news about Lucas sleeping with prostitutes and fans and having a so–year–old sugar mommy spread widely on the internet.
His scandals caused an uproar on the internet. Many victims stood out to testify about Lucas‘ actions in the past. They even had photos as evidence, leaving no room for Lucas to defend himself.
This situation escalated for three days, and Lucas was eventually blacklisted in the industry.
Brooks Media instantly fell into a panic. They had spent so much money to build his image, and everything was in vain overnight.
Moreover, Lucas had to pay a hefty sum of money for breaching the contracts, and his company had to pay most of them.
Bryce
ce was watching the news on his phone in Maeve’s office. He asked, “Have you known this already?”
“Why would I send Lucas to Brooks Media then?”
“You’ve planned this for so long and already thought of this since that time.”
Bryce had to admit that he had taken Maeve lightly.
Looking at the news about the astronomical amount Brooks Media had to pay for breaching the contracts, Maeve mumbled, “I wonder how Sergio would deal with this now.”
Mirage Group had poached many companies who used to collaborate with Brooks Group. Brooks Group’s projects also suffered a huge loss. Besides, they had fallen out with the Scott family. And now, Brooks Media had to pay a huge sum of money as compensation. Sergio must be having a hard time at this point.
At this moment, the higher–ups from Brooks Group were having an emergency meeting.
Everything seemed to be targeting Brooks Group recently. They couldn’t help but think if someone had done that on purpose.
The one targeting them could only be Mirage Group.
“Mr. Brooks, we can’t keep this going. Brooks Group can’t make it through if this goes on!”
“Mirage Group is too much! How could they pull these tricks behind our back?”
“Brooks Media said we need to pay at least five billion dollars for breaching the contracts! Lucas can’t behave himself, but he’s dragging the entire Brooks Group down! Mr. Brooks, you have to think of a solution!”
The board of directors went on and on with their comments, causing a commotion in the meeting room.
Sergio was slightly tired as he massaged his forehead. “Enough! Get out. I’ll have someone handle this
Hearing that from Sergio, the directors left one by one.
After everyone left, Sergio finally opened his eyes and said to Larry, “Get this resolved. Make Lucas pay back every single cent he has earned during this period.”
“Mr. Brooks, do you mean…
A cold glint flitted across Sergio’s eyes. “You know what I mean. Make sure not to leave any traces behind.”
“Okay, Mr. Brooks.”
Larry hurriedly left the room.
Just then, Sergio’s phone rang. He answered the call, and a staff’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Is It Mr. Brooks? We’ve found the clothes worn by Mrs. Brooks when she fell into the sea that day. Please come to verify and collect them.”
