Chapter 56
Upon hearing this, Milna Dillon raised her eyebrows, effectively agreeing with what Katie Adams said.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll help reduce the impact of this situation! Please don’t let me down again in the future!” Milna Dillon said, standing up from her seat.
She went over to Katie Adams, smiled, and patted Katie Adams on the shoulder.
After Milna Dillon left, Katie Adams could hold on no longer and collapsed to the ground.
God only knows what kind of feelings she had when she said those words.
But since Milna Dillon has said so, at least her life is safe.
Don’t worry about Nick Arthur, who might act out of anger and try to get rid of you secretly.
Meanwhile, Nick Arthur, who was about to take Simone Milton home, watched as Simone writhed in his arms, clearly under the effect of some unknown drug. He sighed and told the driver to take a different route.
Simone Milton definitely can’t go back like this. So, there’s no choice but to take her to her own private villa.
Of course, during this time, Nick Arthur also kept comforting Simone Milton.
After much effort, he finally brought Simone Milton to his villa. Nick Arthur, who was covered in flames, barely managed to carry Simone Milton into the bathroom and cool her down with cold water.
“Hold on a little longer, Simone. Just a little longer…” After putting Simone in the bathtub, Nick Arthur poured cold water in and turned away, trying not to look at Simone Milton’s body.
Just as Nick Arthur was about to leave, Simone Milton suddenly reached out her wet hands and pleaded softly, “Please don’t go… I’m scared…”
“Do you know that I’m in great danger here?” Nick Arthur, still with his back to Simone Milton, sighed deeply. “I’m right outside the door, with you!”
“No…” Simone Milton shook her head. At this moment, she knew exactly what she was doing. “Ayuan, I know what I’m doing. We’re together now, and we have a child together.”
“You…” Nick Arthur wasn’t some inexperienced young man. Of course, he understood the hidden meaning behind Simone Milton’s words.
“You’ll regret this. I can’t take advantage of you when you’re not conscious!” Nick Arthur insisted.
“I know very well that I’m fully awake at this moment. Please don’t reject me!” Simone Milton said, standing up from the bathtub on her own.
Having said all that, if Nick Arthur can still endure this, then he must be seriously flawed!
Thus, this night was filled with passion and fervor.
……After a pleasant night, Nick Arthur, feeling cheerful, opened his eyes and saw Simone Milton beside him. He couldn’t resist kissing her.
“Good morning.” Nick Arthur greeted his partner beside him.
Somnolent, Simone Milton slowly opened her eyes. By now, she had fully recalled the madness of the previous night. It made her feel a little shy, but mostly, sweetly delighted.
“Good morning, Ah Yan.” Simone Milton stood up and kissed Nick Arthur as well.
After both of them finished getting ready, they went downstairs. Light meals had already been prepared in the kitchen. The nanny wiped her hands and left the villa.
“This is…” Looking at the lavish breakfast spread on the table, Simone Milton was somewhat bewildered.
“What’s the matter? Try it. Does the nanny’s cooking taste okay?” Nick Arthur said, serving a bowl of porridge to Simone Milton.
After taking the bowl and utensils, Simone Milton tasted it and found it quite delicious. She quickly ate a few more bites.
Just then, Nick Arthur suddenly said, “If things really don’t work out, let’s switch to another entertainment company! I’ll cover any breach of contract fees!”
Hearing this, Simone Milton slowed down her eating pace.
Actually, after what happened, she considered whether to switch to another company. After all, working at this company right now is like having a “big problem in a small place” – the problems seem out of proportion to the company’s size.
No matter what caused this announcement incident, she’s definitely affected by it now.
But the only problem is, Marian’s fine. She’s just a minor assistant to a celebrity. If she quits, so be it.
It won’t be that easy for Georgia to leave.
Although Georgia was introduced to her by Juliet Milton, if she were to leave, it would mean that she’d have to get used to working with a new agent again.
Simona Milton, who is quite attached to her past relationships, doesn’t want to work with a new agent. She thinks Georgia is just fine as it is.
The two of them have developed a good rapport with each other. In fact, Georgia has also been very helpful to her.
Simone Milton wasn’t sure either whether Georgia would be willing to give up everything she’s achieved so far and join her at Sail Shadow Entertainment.
Not to mention, they have no idea what’s going on with Fan Ying Entertainment. Even if Nick Arthur says so, it’s still uncertain whether Fan Ying Entertainment actually wants them or not!
Perhaps noticing Simone Milton’s hesitation, Nick Arthur patted her head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I can take care of everything.”
“I’d better ask Georgia what they think!” Simone Milton said helplessly. She wasn’t ready to make a decision right away.
Nick Arthur wasn’t surprised either. Simone Milton’s attitude was understandable. In fact, if he were in Simone Milton’s shoes, he would have made the same careful consideration.
Although he knew his friend Yu Quan well, and was also aware that Fan Ying Entertainment was considered a reputable company in the industry, he decided to wait until Simone Milton had thought things through before taking any action.
After breakfast, Nick Arthur took Simone Milton back to her villa.
Early in the morning, I rushed to Simone Milton’s home in Georgia. When I saw Simone Milton being brought in by Nick Arthur, I immediately went over to check on her and make sure she was alright.
“How are you? Did those bastards take advantage of you? We’re not staying at this crappy company anymore!” The more Georgia thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, she simply said that they wouldn’t stay at this company anymore.
“Yes, this is absolutely disgusting! Sister Simone, if you want to leave this place, I’ll definitely go with you!” Marian immediately agreed.
Juliet Milton, who learned about the whole incident from Georgia, even set aside time from her leisure activities to stay at home and wait.
Hearing what Marian said, I nodded in agreement. “You’re right. You should’ve left that small company long ago. Not only is their public relations terrible, but they’re also involved in prostitution! They even force people to do it against their will. We definitely can’t stay at such a company!”
After saying this, Juliet Milton, with a furious expression on her face, pondered for a moment before adding, “If you’re worried that the penalty isn’t enough, I have some money saved up. I should be able to help you.”
Watching Juliet Milton with such a worried expression on her face, Simone Milton felt her heart grow warm—extremely warm, in fact.
She covered her mouth in emotion and bowed deeply to the three of them: “Thank you, I really appreciate it!”
Seeing that the moment was right, Nick Arthur, who was with Simone Milton, immediately spoke up:
“Coincidentally, I have something to say. I have connections at Fan Ying Entertainment. Maybe the three of you could all transfer to Fan Ying Entertainment together.” Nick Arthur shared his thoughts.
Hearing Nick Arthur say that, Georgia couldn’t help but open her mouth in shock.
That’s Fan Ying Entertainment after all. While it might not be the leader of the entire entertainment industry, it’s still a very impressive entertainment company.
“Me… can the three of us really go to Sail Shadow Entertainment? Will they agree to let us go?” Georgia found it hard to believe.
But at the same time, a voice inside him said: Trust him! He’s the president of the Arthur family. What he says is trustworthy.
“As long as you’re willing to switch jobs, I guarantee that Fan Ying Entertainment will definitely agree,” Nick Arthur said confidently.
“But in this way, it’s good, yes…” After his excitement subsided, Georgia fell into thought again.
In fact, it wasn’t just Georgia who was lost in thought; Simone Milton was the same way.
After thinking for a long time, Simone Milton shook her head and said to Nick Arthur, “If the three of us all switch jobs to Sailshadow Entertainment, our current companies will definitely try every means possible to damage our reputations.”
This is actually a common tactic used by entertainment companies.
By doing this, those who leave their current companies to join others can be tarnished in reputation. This not only helps to boost the popularity of one’s own entertainment company, but also serves to annoy those stars who have left, as well as the companies that poached them.
It can be said to achieve multiple goals at once.
Nick Arthur frowned, seeing that Simone Milton was worried about this, and Georgia seemed equally concerned.
“Since that’s the case, let’s make this matter public! Let’s take the initiative and gather all the evidence to catch them off guard!” Nick Arthur came up with this plan.
“But… can the Splendid Club provide us with any evidence?” Simone Milton was somewhat worried.
It’s obvious that someone’s trying to manipulate the situation. She’s quite worried that the videos recorded in the club might be deleted.
Perhaps, that executive will delete the videos from the club early on, to ensure their own safety.
After all, without any evidence from the club, the executives could simply claim that everything Simone Milton claimed happened was completely fabricated.
“Let me handle all the matters related to the evidence. You just stay at home and rest for a few days. Be good now. I’ll come back to keep you company in a few days, okay?” Nick Arthur said with confidence.
He already has a complete plan—a plan that will not only punish the executive who forced Simone Milton to attend that investment meeting, but also allow Simone Milton to be completely cleared of any blame.
Seeing Nick Arthur so confident, Simone Milton smiled and nodded, filled with trust.
Perhaps due to all those events that had taken place earlier, Simone Milton’s trust in Nick Arthur had skyrocketed.
She was all the more grateful to have a lover like Nick Arthur.
After leaving Simone Milton’s house, Nick Arthur was rushed to Arthur’s office. While working, he instructed his assistant, Hobson, to gather evidence of collusion between Big Fatso and other people, as well as among the executives.
But in the end, it turned out that this was the first time the executive and the “fat guy” had worked together.
It seems that someone deliberately linked these two groups of characters, who had no connection to each other in the first place.
The leads regarding the executives quickly ran dead. On the other hand, with Assistant Hobson’s further investigation into the “fat man” case, it turned out that this matter was somehow connected to Katie Adams.
It seems that Katie Adams once criticized Simone Milton in front of a certain young artist. To ingratiate herself with Katie Adams, that young artist came up with this way of “teaching” Simone Milton a lesson.
On the surface, it seems like something done by a female artist who tried to ingratiate herself with Katie Adams by doing something stupid.
Assistant Hobson felt that there were still many unanswered questions in this report.
Not to mention how unimaginable it is that these carefully selected investors with unique preferences are all gathered together by a single female artist.
Simply put, during their investigation of that female artist, they discovered that she had received a large sum of money of unknown origin after the incident occurred.
This is enough to prove that there’s more to this matter than meets the eye.
It’s a pity that all the evidence related to this matter has been completely destroyed.
The people behind this seemed to be well-prepared in advance, even having thought through their methods of investigation. As a result, they were one step too late and failed to find any substantial evidence at all.
The other person’s movements were too fast—simply not normal at all.
Of course, it’s precisely because the other party’s actions were so rapid and drastic that they became even more certain that this matter was definitely related to Katie Adams in some way.
While Assistant Hobson was diligently investigating the possible connections between Katie Adams and Simone Milton’s encounters this time around, Nick Arthur wasn’t idle either.
He went straight to Yu Quan to catch up with old times, and hoped that Yu Quan would accept his lover.
As usual, he poured Nick Arthur a glass of Brandy Yuchuan. Then, sitting in his boss’s chair, he rubbed his forehead in frustration.
“I mean, you’ve really given me a tough problem to solve. Isn’t your girlfriend working fine in her own company? Why do you suddenly want to bring her to my company?” Yu Quan looked at Nick Arthur in confusion.
Nick Arthur has changed so much compared to before. Some of his behaviors are simply unbelievable to Yu Quan.
Things like using backdoor methods would never have happened to Nick Arthur in the past.
But now, Nick Arthur has done such a thing precisely because of Simone Milton. It could even be said that he’s gone against his own principles.
“Are you really going to be with her?” Yu Quan, who had heard a little about what had happened to Nick Arthur recently, couldn’t help but ask. “You know very well that Milna Dillon has been waiting for you for so long.”
Hearing Yu Quan say that, Nick Arthur sighed. He knew that Yu Quan would most likely mention Milna Dillon.
“But you clearly know that I don’t feel anything for her at all. It’s you who’s been waiting all these years for her to come back. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. Why don’t you give it a try?” Nick Arthur looked at Yu Quan helplessly.
Yu Quan simply couldn’t understand Nick Arthur’s feelings toward Milna Dillon—those subtle, ambiguous emotions—and the way the two of them interacted with each other.
Hearing Nick Arthur say that, Yu Quan’s expression fell. He stared at the tea in his cup and said helplessly, “There’s a difference between her and me… In short, you don’t understand!”
“If you don’t tell me, of course I won’t understand! Anyway, I’ve already rejected Milna Dillon several times. So please stop trying to put us two together again,” said Nick Arthur, his ears quietly turning red. “Otherwise, Simone will be angry if she finds out.”
Yu Quan felt choked, as if he’d been served some cold “dog food” as a joke. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and instead changed the subject.
“I can arrange for people to be brought to Sail Shadow Entertainment, but you’ll have to pay the penalty fees! And as for the contract… what level of contract do you think would be appropriate?” Yu Quan asked Nick Arthur in a sycophantic manner.
