In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 471 Contract Termination

Grace smirked. "You must be very well off if 30 million dollars can be considered minor to you."

Kayla felt a chill go down her spine.

"Ms. Lewis, I—"

Grace ignored her. She looked like she was adamant about making things right.

"Say no more! You're one of my artists. It's only natural that I defend you. Let's see the surveillance footage. If it's really Ms. York who's in the wrong, I'll definitely get justice for you."

"Ms. Lewis, this—"

Grace had already seen through Kayla's lies, so her tone grew harsh. "What? Are you feeling guilty?"

"No, I'm not."

"Since you're not guilty, let's go to the control room. We'll let the facts do the talking."

Seeing how persistent Grace was, Kayla knew she didn't have a good reason to stop her. So she started panicking.

What was she to do now?

"Let's go." Grace urged.

Kayla took a deep breath. She had no choice but to follow Grace to the control room.

Coincidentally, Caleb was also in the control room when the two of them walked in.

"Caleb, didn't the event begin? Why aren't you there?"

Caleb didn't reply. He turned to look at Kayla.

Kayla evaded his gaze. Yet when she saw him, she felt like she had found a lifeline. She quickly rushed toward him and grabbed his arm.

"Caleb, I'm so glad you're here. You were there, too. Please tell Ms. Lewis what happened."

Caleb withdrew his hand expressionlessly.

Kayla's expression froze. She whispered, "Caleb, what's wrong?"

Grace glanced at the monitors and guessed what was wrong. She crossed her arms and looked at Kayla.

"What do you have to say for yourself, Ms. Green?"

Kayla shook her head. "Caleb, it's not like that. L-Let me explain—"

Caleb didn't even spare her another look. He looked at Grace and said, "I've already seen the surveillance footage. Lydia handled the incident without any issues."

As he said that, he locked eyes with Grace. They were thinking the same thing.

"I know what we should do. Caleb, you should go to the event. Don't let the organizers wait for too long. Leave the rest to me."

Caleb nodded. Then, he turned and left.

"Caleb … Caleb, don't go …"

No matter how many times Kayla called out to him, Caleb didn't bother paying any attention to her. He left without looking back.

Right after Caleb disappeared at the end of the corridor, Kayla finally realized that he had cut all ties with her.

So she dropped all her pretenses.

"Grace Lewis!" She called Grace by her name.

"Since it's come to this, just terminate my contract. I am no longer interested in your company's newly established talent department. You can't even provide me with sufficient resources. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I only joined Amirate Corporation because of Caleb. Now, it doesn't seem like a place where I should stay. So the best resolution is to terminate my contract."

Grace looked at Kayla with a wry expression. She couldn't help but think that Kayla was such a masterful actress.

Just a moment ago, she had been pretending to be aggrieved and bullied, but she had turned into a domineering woman in the blink of an eye.

It seemed like Lydia's slap was completely justified.

"I seem to recall that we signed a five-year contract. Do you want to violate your contract right after signing? Are you ready to pay the penalty?"
