Chapter 2499: Chapter 2499

Ezekiel gripped the steering wheel elegantly w while turning his head with a smile. “It’s free for you.”

Harmony was momentarily stunned before nodding in response. “Okay, then. Thank you in advance.”

At this moment, the television station quickly switched to other programs and promptly issued an announcement-the live broadcast concluded ahead of schedule due to health concerns affecting the artist.

Facing the deputy director’s accusation, Sera refused to back down. “Compensation? You should be the one compensating my artist! It is unacceptable that you intentionally made things difficult for her.”

“Miss Longjohn, I think it’s best if we don’t make things ugly. If your artist doesn’t want her reputation to be affected, we better resolve this privately,” the deputy director suggested.

“How do you suggest we resolve it?” Sera asked.

“Have your artist issue an apology to us in the form of a video. Also, you must compensate us according to the breach of contract terms in the agreement.”

However, Sera was not willing to compromise. “That’s impossible. Let’s settle this in court!”

“Are you sure you want to go to court with our station? We have the best lawyers, so you have no chance of winning,” the deputy director threatened.

At the thought of Ezekiel, Sera straightened her back with confidence. “We can afford to retain an international legal counsel! Just you wait!”

After saying that, Sera left. The deputy director, with his arms crossed, sneered, “How dare she spit nonsense? Alright, then. We’ll see what she has up her sleeve.”

Meanwhile, Ruby thought Harmony would endure these problems until the end, but she was unexpectedly taken away by a mysterious and handsome man halfway through.

Now that the entire incident had escalated, she thought she could shift the blame to the intern, but she quickly realized that even her job might be on the line.

“Ruby, come here!” Natalie Lawson, the host, called out to her angrily.

Ruby immediately went to Natalie’s office, where Natalie threw the script harshly at her. “What’s going on? Why is the script you gave me different? Did you change it?”

Ruby knew that Natalie had also received favors from Catalina, yet now she was trying to shift all the blame to her.

“Sorry, Nat. I didn’t do it on purpose. Moreover, it wasn’t my mistake. It was the intern who messed up.

I’ll make her take responsibility for this right away.”

“You better not involve me in this matter. Now, go and settle it!” Natalie ordered.

Ruby nodded quickly. She thought that if she pushed this issue onto the intern, she could save herself.

As soon as Ruby went out, the intern ran over to her. “Ruby, how did the script get messed up?”

“Why are you asking me? Wasn’t it you who messed up? How dare you ask me that question?” Ruby sneered.

“I.. I got it from you.”

“Why didn’t you check it? It was your responsibility. You were the last person to review it, and yet, you still made a mistake. Admit your mistake to the director! This has nothing to do with me.” After saying that, Ruby left with a disdainful snort.

Soon, her phone rang. It was a call from Catalina, so she quickly found a secluded place to answer the call. “Hey, Catalina.”

“What happened? Why was the live broadcast cut off? Did something happen?”

“Well, a man suddenly barged in and took Harmony away. We’re helpless. Even our deputy director is furious now!”

“What man?”

“I just took a photo. Let me send it to you.”

After saying that, Ruby sent the photo. On the other end, Catalina let out a surprised exclamation when she saw the photo. “How could it be him?”

“Catalina, do you know this person? Who is he?”

“I don’t know him. Ruby, you must keep your mouth shut about this. Never reveal my involvement, or I won’t pay the remaining 37.5 thousand!”

“Don’t worry. I will keep this a secret. I’ll just blame the whole incident on our intern. It’s no big deal,”

Ruby replied in a confident tone.
