Chapter 161

Anyone in this circle could understand how cruel those two words were to an artiste.

Crystal had signed a ten-year contract with Anning International. Deducting the previous three years, there were still seven years left.

If she was put on hiatus for seven years, unable to take any activities, films or commercial performances, what would become of her after the contract ended in seven years?

Who would remember her then?

She would have become an old hag by then! What was the point of signing the contract?!

At this thought, Crystal suddenly wanted to die.

She quickly made a call. She had to find out just what was going on!

The call was connected swiftly. The other side seemed a little noisy and she gripped the phone before whispering urgently, “Hello, Brother Martin, are you there?”

The person on the other end said in a low voice, “Wait.”

Then, there was the sound of rustling. It took awhile for the other end to quiet down.

“What is it?”

Martin Sullivan’s temperament was relatively cold. He was usually gentle and mild, the exact opposite of Crystal’s fiery personality.

He rarely got angry but when he did, everyone would be afraid of him.

Furthermore, he had been in the circle for so many years and was quite capable, producing a number of popular artistes under his wing.

Even if their contract had expired and they were no longer working with one another, they still parted on good terms. Despite not working together, they could still remain friends.

When he had new artistes in his hand in the future, the others would still be willing to help him out if there was anything they could do.

From this point, it could be seen that Martin was not only someone who had skill but also high EQ.

Crystal had never listened to anyone but she was the most obedient to him.

If not for him, no matter how much she bounced around, she would not be able to rise to second-tier with her meager skills.

Therefore, Crystal admired and respected him greatly.

When she heard the opposite side had quietened down, she asked cautiously, “Brother Martin, I just saw the company’s statement on the Internet.

What happened? Why is the company putting me on hiatus for no reason?”

Martin’s voice was clear and cold, without much emotion. “Do you think it was for no reason?”

Crystal’s heart thumped.

However, she still made a final struggle and forced a laugh. “Brother Martin, you know me. Although I’m impulsive and competitive, I don’t have the guts to do anything bad. I really can’t think of anything I did wrong that would cause the company to make such a decision.”

Martin chuckled.

The laugh was cold and mocking as if he had already known everything.

Crystal’s face turned pale.

“Crystal Roberts, I warned you before. In this circle, just fill your plate with how much it can hold but don’t keep coveting things that don’t belong to you.

“But did you listen to me? You didn’t. Not only did you disregard my words but you even came up with such a stupid and dirty method to harm others and ended up digging a hole for yourself to fall into instead. What’s the use of crying to me now?”

Crystal immediately became anxious at his words.

“Brother Martin, I didn’t...”

“You didn’t what? Didn’t tell anyone to plant drugs on Lucy Katz? Didn’t instruct reporters to film her scandal?”

Crystal’s eyes widened.

On the other side, Martin’s laugh grew colder, seemingly losing even the last trace of warmth.

“You called and tried to ask for my help but you can’t even admit your mistakes and still try to hide it from me. What? Do you think I’m as stupid as you and would agree to help you while being confused?

“Regardless of whether I want to help you or not, even if I did, there’s nothing I can do now. It was the board’s decision to seal your career, so talk to them if you have anything to say! I’m busy and don’t have time to talk to you about anything else. Goodbye.”

Then, he hung up the phone.

“Hello! Brother Martin, Brother Martin!”

Crystal did not expect that Martin would be so unsympathetic and hung up the phone when he said he would.

At any rate, she had known him for three years. In these three years, he had treated her quite well and took care of her resources. However, she had not worked hard and did not come up with a work that was a big hit.

She thought that Martin would be lenient toward her. Even if he did not see her potential, he would not give up on her for the sake of his three years of hard work.

Unexpectedly, he had hung up the phone on her.

How could this be?

Crystal shouted futilely into the phone several times but was unable to retain Martin.

Unwilling to give up, she called him again but he did not pick up.

After calling several times, he most likely got annoyed at her and simply turned off his phone.

Only then did Crystal realize the seriousness of the matter.

She slumped on the sofa and looked at her empty home and felt like her heart had fallen into an endless abyss, sinking deeper and deeper.

She knew that she was finished.

Her hard-earned career as an artiste would come to an end today.

After a long time, an intense hatred slowly burst from the bottom of her eyes.

All this was caused by Lucy Katz.

It was all that b*tch’s fault!

That night, if Lucy had not deliberately provoked her, how would she have lost her mind and do something like that out of anger?!

Who in the entertainment industry did not know that Crystal had a firecracker temper? Due to this temper, she had screwed over a candid and straightforward persona that she had maintained for a long time.

That was why everyone spoke courteously when they saw her.

Yes, that must be it. Lucy Katz knew that she had a bad temper, yet she deliberately said those nasty words to provoke her.

She caused her to make a mistake so that Young Master Foster’s attention would no longer be on her.

Then, Lucy would be able to move up herself.

Yes, that must be it.

Crystal’s eyes grew mad. She stood up and suddenly swept everything on the coffee table to the ground in anger.

Staring straight ahead, she gnashed her teeth and spat, “Lucy Katz! You b*tch. Just you wait!”

...

Lucy did not know that she was inexplicably being hated by Crystal Roberts.

Although her part in “Hidden Valley: Ashley” had finished filming, she was still shooting “Chasing Wind”, so she was not idle.

Nell was also about to enter the group. Tim Coombs set the start date for next Wednesday, saying that he had specifically picked that day because it was an auspicious day.

Nell did not believe in such superstitions but since Tim had already made the decision, she did not say anything else either. Since there was nothing much happening in the company, she took the opportunity to stay home these days to study the script.

Gideon had already returned from his business trip but he continued to be busy these days and only grew less hectic recently.

Seeing that she was also idle, he brought some fruit over and asked, “How many more days until it starts?”

Nell counted off her fingers.

“Did he say where the shooting would be?”
