Chapter 142

    After Dorian walked away, Cole frowned and said, "Mr. Morgan, you helped Ms. Hart leave Nexus Entertainment, but the Heart of rity project is enough for us to pay the breach of contract fee.


    "Are we really going to hand the project over to Dorian?"


    Kieran stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said casually, "I gave it to him, but can he keep it?"


    On the other side, L had started talking to Benjamin.


    She didn''t expect that Benjamin''s indifferent attitude would change right away


    when he saw the Magi Pictures exclusive invitation.


    The coboration came together much more easily than she imagined.


    The Lane Group''s charity g ended sessfully that night.


    On the way back, Jamie and Teddy were stunned to learn that L had secured the partnership with the Joyce Group.


    "I heard the CEO of the Joyce Group is tough to talk to, Ms. Hart. How did you manage to do it?"


    When Kieran entered the venue, the two were just absent, so they only heardter that a big shot had arrived.


    Naturally, they didn''t connect this important figure with L''s uncle.


    L didn''t go into details. She gently pressed her lips together and answered, "Someone helped introduce me."


    What Benjamin cared about wasn''t herself or Magi Pictures but rather the Morgan Group behind them. L was very clear on that.


    The two in the back seat continued to talk about the events that happened and didn''t probe further.


    L rxed slightly. Today was another day of leeching off Kieran.


    L didn''t expect her good luck tost into the next day.


    Billy called her, asking her toe back to thepany in the afternoon.


    It was Billy''s office, yet Dorian was there as well.


    As soon as L entered the room, she knitted her brows slightly. She felt a wave


    of disgust so strong she didn''t even want to step inside.


    She couldn''t tell what trick Dorian was up to this time.


    Dorian looked at her unmasked emotions, and his face darkened slightly.


    He just needed to wait a little longer, and she would lose everything.


    He narrowed his eyes, looking all high and mighty, and stayed silent.


    Billy noticed L''s apparent irritation and looked troubled. "L, I really don''t know how to bring this up."


    L frowned. This definitely wasn''t going to be something good.


    Could it be that they were nning to cut off all resources for Jamie and Teddy?


    She tightened her fists and began thinking through her next move.


    "Mr. Johnson, if you have something to say, just say it directly."


    "Well..." Billy was also frustrated. Why did he always have to deal with these troublesome matters?


    Couldn''t they solve their issues privately? Why must thepany be a rtionship counseling center for these two?


    "L, I know you''repetent, but with thepany''s recent business adjustments, we''ve decided to suspend all the work you''re handling, and then you can..."


    Did he say suspend all her work?


    L narrowed her eyes, recalling what Dorian had said when they had just broken up. She nced at the cold-faced man beside her.


    She let out augh, interrupting Billy, "You don''t have to beat around the bush. Thepany ns to fire me, right?"


    "Ah, no, that''s not what I meant," Billy quickly backpedaled.


    L''s smirk deepened. "You''re not directly firing me because of my contract with


    thepany. You can''t fire me outright. Suspending all my work is forcing me to leave, right?"


    Billy''s eyelid twitched. "I..."


    When L and Dorian had signed with thepany, no one had anticipated that Dorian would rise to this level.


    As the biggest contributor to his sess, thepany treated L differently.


    The higher-ups had privately signed a contract with L to retain her and allow her to bring even more profit to thepany.


    Thepany couldn''t fire her unless she resigned. Otherwise, they''d have to pay her a hefty penalty for breach of contract.


    But now, with L being sidelined, thepany clearly didn''t want to pay that money.


    L ignored Billy''s difort, her lips curling into a mocking smile.


    "I can leave myself." She narrowed her eyes. "But I want Jamie and Teddy toe with me and not pay a single cent in breach of contract fees."
