Chapter 436
“Alright, let’s change the subject,” Maeve said as she pulled out her phone.
She showed Mason the electronic contract between him and Hackett Entertainment, complete with official souls.
“Look, is this your contract?”
Mason glanced at the screen and nodded. “Yeah, that’s mine.”
He remembered signing that contract with Hackett Entertainment without hesitation when his mother, Karen Harris pushed him into the entertainment industry. He hadn’t realized how cutthroat this path would be
Handing the phone back to Marve, he asked, “Where did you get this?
“Do you want to leave?
“Leave? To where?“!
“Conner’s already invested in this project Your chances of debuting with Hackett Entertainment are practically zero,” Maeve said bluntly.
“what awaits you is endless shelving. Your family probably doesn’t have much money, and you’ll eventually be drained and hit with hefty penalties. Even if a good entertainment company picks you up, there’s no guarantee you’ll become popular.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“I made a bet with Conner that he’d lose money on this project in three months.
“What?” Mason frowned. “How would Conner lose any money? Entertainment companies aren’t stupid, especially big ones like Hackett Entertainment. How could they have let a project fail?”
Marve smiled. “There was someone in the same situation as you once. He trusted me and became an award–winning actor.
“Are you talking about.. Bryce?”
Maeve nodded. “If you want a way out, Fean show you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll cover your penalty fees, but you have to agree to one condition”
“What’s the condition?”
“Convince all the male trainees to leave as well”
Maeve’s proposal was shocking, but Mason only hesitated for a moment before asking, “How can I trust you?“.
“I’ll cover everyone’s penalties. And I guarantee that whether they debut as a group or solo, they’ll at least make it to B–list celebrities,” Maeve said.
She then pulled out a check already written for 50 million dollars. It was enough to cover all the male trainees‘ penalties,
“Alright, Fagree Mason said.
With Mason’s agreement, Marve felt a wave of relief. She needed Mason’s help to make Conner lose money. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to handle the male trainees.
Just as Maeve returned to the dormitory, she was confronted by Cathy and the female trainees.
“We saw you with Mason just now. Are you two dating?” Dorothy accused. “Marve, trainees aren’t allowed to date. You’ve broken company rules. Let’s see how Gaby can side with you now!”
Marve remained unfazed and replied nonchalantly, “Did you eat something bad recently? Your mouth really stinks ”
“Youl * Dorothy furned.
“Maeve, you’ve broken the rules and must leave. I’ve already called Gaby to come and set things straight,” Cathy said,
