Chapter 383

“Who said so? I’ve even prepared the contract for you.” Caroline took out the contract from her bag and handed it over to Daphne.

“Take a look. It’s stated here–20 million dollars. I’m serious about it.”

Daphne forgot all about her hatred for Caroline the moment she saw the words “20 million dollars” on the paper.

Noticing how Daphne was on the verge of accepting the offer, Layla gripped her hand and added, Ms.

Daphne, I can give you 25 million dollars a year.”

Now, Daphne’s gaze snapped at Layla.

“Layla,” Caroline called out.

Layla’s heart bled when the words left her mouth just now, but seeing Caroline’s anxious face made her think that it was all worth it “Caroline, the higher bidder wins the prize. You can raise the price if you have the power to ”

“Don’t be too full of yourself” Caroline snarled, her brows knitted closely together.

She then turned to Daphne once more. “I’m willing to hand over 10% of profits to you as part of your endorsement fees if you sign the contract with my company‘

It made Layla burst out laughing. “Caroline, all you do is lie to others. That broken company of yours doesn’t even have the funds to operate well enough.

“How many sales do you think you can get? And now you’re telling me that you’re giving others part of the profit. Are you living in a castle in the sky?”

That said, she turned to face Daphne. “Sign the contract with me. At the very least, the 25 million dollars are guaranteed to be yours.”

Daphne pondered it and found that what Layla said was reasonable enough. “Okay. I choose you.

Worried that Daphne would change her mind, Layla immediately asked her company’s employees to prepare a softcopy version of the contract for her to settle things once and for all.

When they finally left Daphne’s dressing room, the smile on Layla’s face was already as wide as it “Caroline, I wonder,” said Layla, “How will you rise from the gutter when I’m always a step ahead of you in terms of design, product promotion, and finding my brand an ambassador?”

Caroling slowly let out her breath. It didn’t take long for her to notice Sonia’s figure in the crowd.

Sonia was occupied with memorizing her lines. As the female lead, her set and props were way better compared to Daphne’s.

Caroline then turned to give Layla a smile. “You’ve never even checked the company’s ledger, right?”

“What do you mean?” Layla asked, puzzled.

“What is your target? Are you aiming for high–end consumers or mid and low–tiered ones?”

Layla gritted her teeth. “Whatever you’re aiming for, just know that I’ll be there to intercept you.”

“Really?” This made Caroline’s smile widen.

“Why do I feel like your target is the high–end consumers then? After all, you paid a lot for both your designer and your ambassador. Are you sure that you can profit from the other consumers Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

then?”

Layla’s expression shifted instantly, and she found herself swaying slightly. It took her a moment for the impact of Caroline’s words to hit her.

“Y–you never wanted to sign the contract with Daphne!” She stammered.

Caroline merely smiled in response as Cheryl watched their interaction from behind, her mouth gaping wide.

“Caroline, what’s going on?” she asked quietly, curious.

Layla didn’t waste time explaining the entire situation by thinking aloud to herself.

“You purposely told PR that you wanted to sign a contract with Daphne so that I would meet her here to sign a contract with her.”

Layla recalled how she had asked Emery to tell Caroline about this, and she seethed in anger when she realized just how foolish she seemed to Caroline at that time.

Snatching away the contract in Caroline’s hand, she flipped it to the last page in disbelief. The last Caroline had never planned to sign a contract with Daphne! It was all a trap!
