Chapter 197

Chapter 197:

“Maybe you are the one who will be done for,” Madisyn remarked with casual nonchalance.

“Me? I’m the top agent at the company. I’ve nurtured countless award-winning actresses. There’s no way they’d let me go,” Larson retorted, his voice brimming with confidence.

Just as he finished his boast, his phone erupted into life with a startling ring. It was a call from someone in the HR department. “Larson, we’re aware of everything you’ve done. Come to the HR department immediately.”

A cold sweat began to bead and trickle down Larson’s forehead. He had orchestrated so much behind the scenes. How had the company uncovered his actions?

“There must be some kind of misunderstanding. I’ll head over right now,” he muttered.

Ignoring Evie and Madisyn, Larson quickly turned and strode toward the elevator. Evie and Madisyn trailed closely behind him.

Madisyn watched Larson with a faint smile. Larson felt her piercing gaze, which unsettled him, but he couldn’t afford to dwell on it now.

When the elevator doors slid open, they stepped out and were surprised to see Kian.

“Evie! I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I knew you’d be here!” Kian exclaimed, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Evie.

Larson frowned. Wasn’t Kian dating Teresa? Why was he looking for Evie?

“I thought I made myself clear yesterday. How dare you show your face in front of me again?” Evie’s voice was laced with disgust.

“Evie, I’ve cleared everything up online,” Kian responded, hastily pulling out his phone to show her. His Twitter was updated with a new post.

“I’m sorry, everyone. I was compelled to admit Teresa was my girlfriend. She had leverage over me. But the truth is, the one I truly love is Evie. Ever since she joined the company, I’ve been captivated by her. Our relationship was the real deal. I’ve already settled things with Teresa. There will be no further communication between us in the future.”

Larson, reading the post on his own phone, blinked in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, but the post remained.

Looking incredulously at Kian, he questioned, “Kian, have you lost your mind? Aren’t they saying that Teresa is Mr. Johns’s sister?” Kian got involved with Teresa, so why would he still go after Evie?

“I haven’t lost my mind! Teresa tricked me. She’s nothing but a liar.” Kian was full of regret. “Evie, please give me another chance. I’m begging you. If you don’t, I’ll never stop pursuing you.”

“Kian, you’re just someone who uses women to climb the social ladder. Do you really think I’d ever look at you the same way as before?” Evie’s voice was laced with disdain. “Get lost!”

Evie pushed past Kian with a forceful shove and continued on her way.

“No, Evie!” Kian called out, his voice laced with despair.

Larson grabbed Kian by the shoulder, his confusion apparent. “What on earth is going on with you? Evie is just a nobody, and you’re giving up Teresa for her?”

“A nobody? Evie is from a wealthy family, and Teresa is a fraud!”

“What?” Larson couldn’t hide his shock. The earnestness in Kian’s eyes made it hard to doubt his words. Panic began to claw at Larson.

If Evie was indeed a wealthy lady, what did that mean for all the schemes he had crafted against her? Larson was in a daze as he made his way to the HR department, and when he heard what the director of the HR department had to say, cold sweat drenched his entire body. How had everything he had done come to light?

“Larson, as the company’s top agent, you’ve forced your artists into compromising situations and engaged in personal gigs multiple times, severely violating company policy. Effective immediately, you’re fired, and you’ll be required to return any profits you made from the company within a month.” The director of the HR department was resolute.

The evidence against Larson was irrefutable. His once-glorious career ended abruptly right there. As the director of the HR department watched Larson exit the building, he sighed in relief. “Finally, we’ve rid the company of these toxic elements. Spread the word that all forms of these unethical practices are now strictly forbidden!”

With Madisyn now at the helm, the director felt optimistic that the company would surely reach new heights. Efforts to cleanse the organization of its corruption were immediately resumed.

Later, Evie joined Madisyn for dinner at the Johns’ residence. Vibrant and charismatic, Evie quickly won over Elaine’s affection. Despite the events of the day, Evie found time to address the online debacle. Kian’s attempt to portray himself as a devoted lover seemed laughable to her. What a joke.

When he posted that statement on Twitter, the netizens were utterly shocked, unable to believe the twist in the story. No one knew how to react.

Seizing the moment, Evie replied publicly, “Sorry, don’t even think about getting close to me again. You cheated, which means we’re done. Now you want to act like a devoted lover? That’s disgusting. Get lost, scumbag. If you really feel guilty, go ahead and castrate yourself.”

The reply struck Kian like a slap across the face, witnessed by all.

“I’m speechless. What’s going on with Kian? One minute he loves this person; the next, it’s someone else!”

“I’ve got some insider info! Kian is just a guy who uses his charm to climb the ranks. He thought Teresa was from a wealthy family, but when he found out she wasn’t, he ran right back to Evie.”

“Is that true? Kian’s entire image began to crumble before my eyes. I used to think he was all about macho pride, but it turns out he’s just after an easy ride.”

“I knew Kian was never a good guy. It’s pathetic. Now that he knows he was duped, he wants to go back to his old flame, huh? Good thing Evie saw through him.”
