Chapter 166
Claire turned to look at the person yelling her name and saw Hubert walking up to her. She then sneered, “Mr. Zane, as a chief executive officer, you certainly don’t have a spark of decency in you. Are you one those nouveau riches?”
“What’s wrong with that? Don’t think you can, can you? Ha! A nobody like you dares to challenge me. You obviously have your head too far up your *ss. Let me tell you now: I’ll be signing Charmine Jordan. You try anything funny and you’re dead meat, you hear me?” sneered Hubert in an attempt to steer Claire away from his plan.
She frowned. “Charmine? She’s not signing with my company.”
“Stop your shenanigans! You’ve been trying to compete with u s since day one… I think you need to be taught a lesson. Do you want me to expose the fact that your artists are nothing but a bunch of phonies?” Hubert threatened.
Unexpectedly, Claire began to laugh at this. “Go ahead! Let’s d o this little dance. You expose my phony talents, and I’ll expose your pimped-out artists. Hmph! Earning filthy money through filthy deeds.”
“You… You b*tch! How dare you? I’ll slap you!” Hubert held his hand up high in an attempt to scare Claire once more.
All of a sudden, something hit the back of his knee, and Hubert
involuntarily lunged forward in pain.
Smack!
His palm harshly struck Claire’s cheek in the process.
Claire had never been hit since the day she got famous. Even her bosses had to let her have her way most of the time. She definitely did not expect Hubert would go so far as to hit her.
Needless to say, Claire saw red in an instant. “You arrogant upstart! How dare you hit me? I’m not letting this go so easily!”
Without hesitating even for a second, she raised her hand up high and swung it with all the force she could muster. A stinging pain spread through her palm as Hubert’s head snapped to the side.
Every part of Hubert’s body jiggled from that impact, and a bright red mark-in the shape of a palm- quickly formed on his face with faint scratch marks from Claire’s nails.
Antagonized, Hubert lunged toward Claire. All hell broke loose.
A punch from Hubert was met with Claire’s scratching. A kick from Hubert earned him hits with Claire’s heels. It was pandemonium!
On the side of the aisle, Charmine was all too pleased with how the events unfolded. A satisfactory grin spread across her face a s she turned around and walked away. ‘
These two had to pay for scheming against her.
The two-Hubert and Claire-fought like cats and dogs, and it was only after hotel staff intervened did they stop.
Even the police had to help and separate them.
“Say what? Charmine didn’t want to sign your company?” Hubert asked in astonishment.
“Yes! I told you, haven’t I? I went to her several times, and she shut me down every single time. If she wanted to sign with us, she could’ve done it a long time ago. You wouldn’t stand a chance,” Claire snapped back.
Confused, Hubert mumbled, “Why would she tell me—”.
At that moment, their eyes widened in realization; they had been fooled.
“That b*tch set us up!” growled Hubert. “She pitted us against one another! Damn it… I’ll kill that wicked witch!” He stood up and slammed his fists on the table. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“No! Killing her would be too easy,” came Claire’s quick reply. “Let’s work together and ostracise her from the industry!” Hubert took in the idea, and his eyes twinkled. He liked it.
Both Hollyoak and Fortune Entertainment were giants of the industry. They practically controlled the industry. ‘
If they worked together, they could surely crush a newcomer like Charmine.
Charmine would definitely suffer the consequences for messing with them!
