Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 44 Go Beg Ms. Bradley

Who was Starry?

Wasn't Starry the Starlight?

"Ms. Bradley, this is Skyler, and also Iris."

The biggest shareholder of Archangel Pictures was Starry which meant that Starry was the one who

bought Iris' book.

Skyler was the one who posted that Starry was a copycat but now Skyler and her boss both panicked.

Skyler didn't have twenty million but her book was sold to Archangel Pictures in the name of her

company so if they sued her, then her company was also responsible for it.

Of course, her company was allowed to ask Skyler for her part of the penalty. But she had been

nobody for so many years and the payment of her books could barely support herself before this.

She didn't even have her share of the copyright payment, not to mention twenty million.

Skyler's editor pushed her towards Starry. Starry just took a quick look at Skyler and then looked back

at the chief editor of the website Skyler had been working for, "I guess that Quality Innovation is

actually the one who signed with me."

Starry said it in a casual manner but with a cold attitude.

She implied what she was going for today.

She was not here to negotiate but for the penalty.

Bentley took out the contract and read it out loud when Starry finished her words.

"On Page Five, Article 7.4... the penalty should be paid three times as the sold price..."

"Chief editor Morris, we've made it clear on the contract about this. As to you and Miss Rees, I guess

that has nothing to do with us. There is a growing number of readers who are against her book 'Ms.

Foster's Mr. S' because of Iris' notoriety and her other low-rating books. And we've been prepared for

the shooting of 'Ms. Foster's Mr. S' since we signed the contract. We've signed the popular actor

Edward as the male lead and Rosa Doyle who has been popular since last year as the female lead. We

have to pay them over ten million to do this. You see, I didn't even charge you for this."

Hearing this, the Chief editor Morris was so angry that he could almost faint.

Starry obviously was here to ruin Quality Innovation.

Or why else would Starlight wait so long to post until she signed a contract with Quality Innovation, all

actors and actresses? Now that Iris was the one who was judged by everyone online.

But so what?

Quality Innovation did sell this book for six and a half million. They picked Archangel Pictures among all

those competitors because this company was the only one that would pay that much.

Chief editor Morris was afraid that Archangel Pictures would take it back and Iris would be less popular

so he didn't even notice there was a rule of penalty in the contract.

It was clear on that contract that they had no choice but to pay for the penalty.

Even if they got it fixed in court, they still had to pay a lot.

Hearing this, Skyler was worried sick.

Her editor pushed her towards Starry again, "It was all you! Go beg Ms. Bradley."

Skyler took a look at Starry who was sitting aside which was the first time she saw Starry. Starry was

breathtaking but with a temperament that would intimidate everyone around her even though she didn't

say anything.

"Ms. Bradley, I, I'll apologize to you on Twitter, I'll admit that I was the copycat and I defamed you. I'll

also return the copyright payment. Could you please spare me the penalty?"

Skyler really panicked. She could never earn twenty million even if she sold all her blood.

Starry raised her head at Skyler and said casually, "Miss Rees, I don't like to mix things. About the

slander, I've filed a complaint to the court, guess you'll be receiving the subpoena soon."

Starry paused a little, "And about the default this time, I just followed the contract."

"Twenty million. I don't have twenty million."

"Well, that's up to you and Quality Innovation. I'm just here to give you a notice. If you have anything to

say about the penalty, then I'll see you on the court."

Starry took a look at Bentley when she finished her words, "We should go."

Starry had finished her words and expressed why she was here. Then how Quality Innovation and

Skyler were going to deal with this had nothing to do with Starry.

Bentley took away the contract and left behind Starry.

Morris sank onto the chair of his office and watched Starry leave, "How could a beautiful woman like Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

her be so cruel?"

Then Morris looked at Skyler, his expression changed, "Skyler, you've heard them. And on our contract,

if the damage is caused by your mistake, then you should take full responsibility and pay the full

penalty plus our loss of reputation."

"However, you've worked for our website for years, then I'll let it pass for the loss of our reputation. As

for the penalty, I can't help you. And if you don't have it then, we'll have to see you on the court."

Skyler was so frightened that she couldn't feel her legs, "Morris, but I don't have that much."

"Then you figure out a way to let her ask less."

Morris was indignant and asked Skyler's editor to show her out.
