âRosalynn,â Valeria called.
She hugged Rosalynn, her body still trembling slightly with fear.
âYouâre okay now,â Rosalynn soothed as she ran a comforting hand through Valeriaâs back.
âThank you for bailing me out.
â
Valeria stepped back from the embrace and stood straight, looking at Rosalynn with grateful eyes.
âThank Hutton.
He was the one who asked Brian to call Eleanor to issue a letter of no objection.
â Rosalynn smiled as she praised Huttonâs quick work.
Valeria turned to him and smiled.
âThank you.
â
âIâm glad youâre okay,â Hutton replied.
He cleared his throat, a little embarrassed at their praise and attention.
At this time, Valeriaâs agent came over.
âIâm disappointed in you, Valeria.
I asked you to meet with John to discuss a movie project, not drink with him.
I understand that you want to get the role, but you should never resort to dirty tricks.
â
Valeria narrowed her eyes at her, her gaze turning sharp.
âHannah, choose your words carefully.
Iâve already told you a thousand times that I donât like John.
You were the one who forced me to talk about the movie with him.
And you should know me enough by now not to make that kind of assumption.
If Iâve been sleeping my way to roles, I would have already been famous.
â
Hannah only snorted, clearly not buying her words.
âItâs too late to play the goody two shoes now.
Your reputation is completely ruined, and the company decided to terminate your contract.
As stated in the conditions, the artist would be responsible for damages and losses incurred by the company if she is at fault.
Just prepare the compensation and wait for the termination to be finalized.
â
Valeriaâs fists clenched at her words.
Rosalynn put a hand over her closed one and said, âLet them terminate the contract.
Youâd be doing yourself a favor not staying with that kind of agency.
â
âSheâs right.
Even if the termination had not come from them, we would have persuaded you to do it yourself.
â Hutton agreed.
Valeria took a deep breath, her eyes beginning to water.
âTheyâre going to ask for a huge amount.
IâLl go broke paying that off.

All those years of hard work down the drain, and I donât even have a career to go back to.
â
Seeing the grief on Valeriaâs face, Rosalynn comforted her, âValeria, youâre an amazing actress.
If worse comes to worst, youâll just be starting again.
You have the talent.
Youâll be getting other jobs soon enough.
â
A bitter smile appeared on Valeriaâs Lips.
âItâs not that easy.
Who would want to hire an actress with a bad reputation?â
âEven if you donât act, you can still work behind the scenes.
â Rosalynn paused before continuing, âBesides, Iâve always felt that there was something strange about Johnâs death.
If you can prove your innocence, youâll be able to clear your name.
â
Valeriaâs eyes widened at Rosalynnâs words.
Rosalynn kept speaking.
âJohn wouldnât have taken aphrodisiacs for no reason.
He actually wanted to do something to you, didnât he?â
