Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 719 Or Else, Iâll Rip You to Shreds âOh my. Why did you come so late? Did you bring the artistsâ contracts? Oh, itâs not me thatâs impatient.
Itâs the artists. They really donât want to stay at GK Pictures any longer.â
Davian glared at Sharon. âDonât worry. I brought all of the contracts, including the artists and yours.â
âThatâs great,â Sharon looked at the people holding the contract folders beside him and gloated. âI understand your situation. It must be a strong blow for GK Pictures to lose so many talents all at once.
But GK Pictures has led to its downfall now. You canât keep them without good remuneration. Donât blame me. Iâm just trying to be considerate to them.â
Davian was on the warpath while listening to the woman in front of him talking about GK Pictures. âI hope Mr. Kooper shows up any time now to teach this woman a lesson.â Davian sneered at Sharon, âI wonât stop you from leaving, but the contract clearly stated the contract period. If you want to leave, you have to pay GK Pictures all the liquidated damages.â
âHaâhaâ¦â Sharon smirked complacently, âI know GK Pictures is in a bad place. The company is in a mess with fund shortage. Rest assured, I will pay for all the penalties.â
âAlright then. Give me the cash, and Iâll give you the goods. Iâll end the contract instantly when the money is in our bank account. And, of course, I brought our finance director with me. These liquidated damages will be calculated for you.â
âHaâhaâ¦â Sharon burst out laughing in disdain, âSeems like GK Pictures is struggling to make ends meet. You care about every bit.â Davian ignored her and sat down with the finance director and his secretary at the table beside them. The contract folders are stacked on the table. Davian leaned back on the chair and tempted the artists, âCome on. Come here for those who want to end their contracts.â
The artists looked at one another and swarmed over to the table. Sharonâs smile grew more satisfied as she looked at the current situation. She sat back next to Anthony. Anthony looked at the time and asked her, Whatâs wrong? Why arenât the higherâups in GK Pictures here yet?â
âWhatâs the rush? Those old hags love to put on airs. Theyâll come at the end. Just wait and see.â
âExactly, half of GK Pictures is in our hands. Thereâs nothing to be worried about.â Carolyn held Sharonâs arm, flushing with pride and excitement.
Anthony snorted softly without uttering a word. Davian suddenly yelled at Sharon, âWhereâs the money? Why hasnât it been transferred yet? Hurry up! Or else we canât proceed with the contract termination smoothly.â
All the artists who are terminating their contracts looked over at Sharon. Sharon grunted in disgust, âChill out. We arenât going anywhere.â
âWell, I donât know about that. Who knows what a shameless person like you would do to shirk work?â
âWhy you!â Sharon shot him a death stare and glanced at Anthony. âDidnât we have a deal? Iâll fund the operation of the new company while you settle the penalties?â
As the leading enterprise in the entertainment industry, GK Pictures was easy to get in but hard to get out of. In the beginning, GK Pictures took in many artists who had nowhere to go. They were ridiculed by the media as being a shelter for artists. However, easy entry was followed by difficult exit. GK Picturesâs great liquidated damage was wellâknown in the industry, more than twenty times higher than other entertainment companies.
Many lost artists felt it was a stroke of luck when they were taken in by GK Pictures. They resolutely signed the contract with GK Pictures without considering the high penalty. At that time, they had never thought of leaving the company. Now, the penalties added up were not cheap, especially for Sharon, whose penalty was notoriously high as she was a superstar GK Pictures put in the effort and promoted.
The Mullen family was respectable in Athadale, but Anthony could not take out so much money on his own, so he ended up borrowing it from his old man.
He said in a low voice, âThis better turn out smooth, or else Iâll rip you to shreds.â
