Chapter 388

For they knew, that once the footage was revealed, they would be in hot soup.

It was good enough if Suzy was the only one at fault because till then, she could simply say that she was mistaken and apologize.

However, Mr. Cortez stood on her side. He was the martial arts choreographer and planned the moves. It would sound absurd if he were to say that he was mistaken too.

Thinking about this, he cast an accusatory look at Suzy.

It was all her fault. She came up with this idea at the last minute in order to show off in Young Master Foster’s presence and to embarrass Lucy.

Well, Suzy got what she wanted, but what about the implication?

Suzy was nervous as well.

If Young Master Foster learned that she was trying to humiliate Lucy, she might not be able to maintain her role as the third female lead, let alone the second female lead.

At the same time, Mr. Cortez retreated without warning.

Somebody asked him at once, “Where are you going, Mr. Cortez?”

Mr. Cortez chuckled. “I got to go to the toilet. Stomach ache.”

“Um, okay.”

With that, Mr. Cortez hurried away.

Lucy watched as he fled and smiled coldly.

...

Two minutes later, at a corner near the CCTV control room.

Mr. Cortez hastily stopped an assistant who had just taken the tape.

“Harry, give me the tape.”

“Mr. Cortez, this...”

“Do you want to lose your job? You know how experienced I am and how much the directors in this industry look up to me. If you want to survive in this industry, you’d do better than to offend me, understood?”

The assistant felt trapped and confused.

Meanwhile, a firm voice rang out.

“So, Mr. Cortez, you came here to threaten Harry on the pretense of going to the toilet. Are you trying to destroy the evidence?”

Mr. Cortez was shocked.

When he turned his head around, he saw Lucy, Joel, Yuri, and the gang standing behind him.

His expression altered.

Yuri was fuming with rage at the sight of this scene.

He pointed at Mr. Cortez and scolded, “Salvador Cortez, I can’t believe you did this! Lucy told me just now that you might take the tape, and I even defended you, but I never imagined that you will... You! You piss me off!”

Yuri and Salvador had a good relationship. Although Yuri did not approve of the latter’s lifestyle, they were men and only cared about friendship loyalty instead of focusing on each other’s personal life.

Unfortunately, such a thing had to happen.

Mr. Cortez went pale, but it was too late for him to explain himself.

Suzy, who was at the back of the crowd, was struck with horror.

Lucy turned to Yuri and asked, “Director, can I prove my innocence now?”

Out of anger, Yuri puffed his chest and nodded.

“This incident wasn’t your fault. Rest assured that I’ll clear your name.”

He said this, not just for Lucy, but also for Joel.

Joel’s expression was icy while he regarded Suzy and Mr. Cortez as if he had seen a pile of trash.

“From today onwards, I don’t want to see these two in showbiz again.”

After that, he turned to leave.

Mr. Cortez and Suzy were aghast.

Did he mean... That he wanted to banish them from showbiz?! Banning them forever?!

Suzy immediately explained, “Young Master Foster, please listen to me. I, I didn’t want to harm Lucy on purpose. It was all Mr. Cortez’s fault, he instructed me to...”

Before Joel could respond, Mr. Cortez went red with fury.

“Suzy, what’s the meaning of this? Now that the cat is out of the bag, you want to blame me for everything?! You’re jealous that Lucy’s prettier and more talented than you, so you did this to steal her role.

“You even seduced me and promised that you’ll sleep with me tonight. Else, why would I agree to help you do such dirty work?!”

It was as if he had just dropped a bombshell.

Although everyone knew that monetary and sexual dealings were not uncommon in showbiz, it was the first time that this topic was brought up publicly.

Since Suzy’s plan was now exposed, she became extremely embarrassed.

On the contrary, Joel seemed intrigued and eyed Mr. Cortez doubtfully.

“Oh? Did she say that she’ll sleep with you tonight?”

“Yes.”

Mr. Cortez begged him, “Young Master Foster, I was seduced by her, that’s why I would lie for her. I beg you to give me another chance. I’ve trained in martial arts for more than ten years. If I can’t be a martial arts choreographer, my life will be meaningless and my skills will go to waste.”

As Yuri listened, he felt a little bad for him.

However, when he thought of what had happened earlier, he knew that this day would come and he had brought it upon himself! Good riddance!

He looked at Joel.

There was a mocking expression on Joel’s face as he spoke, “You’re right, it would be a shame if your skills are to go to waste. Alright then, I heard a boxing ring is currently short of a boxer. If you can last more than three days there, I’ll excuse you. What do you think?”

He smirked when he finished speaking. It was as if he was planning an escape for him.

Mr. Cortez’s eyes widened in terror.

Nobody else knew what went on at the underground boxing ring, let alone himself.

His future aside, he had no idea whether he would survive the fights!

His lips twitched as he mumbled, “Young Master Foster, I can’t go to those places. I beg for your mercy and please let me go. I can give up my job as a martial arts choreographer, but please don’t send me there.”

Nevertheless, Joel was no longer interested in listening to him.

“Luis.”

“I’m here.”

“Send him there.”

“Yes.”

In the end, Mr. Cortez was taken away by Luis.

The onlookers at the film set stole glances at each other.

Meanwhile, Suzy was so frightened that she could not say a word. She was afraid that Joel would treat her the same way he treated Mr. Cortez.

Luckily, she was a woman and Joel did not do anything to her but she could forget about working in showbiz altogether. Besides, Joel had no interest in arguing with a woman.

Still, getting kicked out of showbiz was a severe punishment for Suzy.

After all, she was already twenty-eight years old. Her family had spent a great deal of money and she had put in much effort before she became who she was today.

It had been ten years since she debuted at eighteen. She would not have gotten a different job.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Now, getting banished from showbiz by Joel was akin to destroying her future.

It was all thanks to Lucy Katz!

She eyed Lucy viciously when she thought of this.

She would never forgive Lucy for what she did to her.

If she could not set foot in showbiz again, she would drag that woman down with her!
