"W-What?" Oliver trembled.


    When Dorian saw that, his expression turned cold as he snatched the phone. "What did you say?"


    "The contract Mr. ke signed with ourpany for ''Heart of rity'' explicitly states that if Mr. ke is involved in any negative reports, the contract bes null and void.


    "Given today''s trending news, ourpany has decided to terminate the contract with Mr. ke," the person on the other line repeated, unaware that Dorian was now on the line.


    Dorian felt his mind descend into chaos. "The scandal is false! I''ve already issued a rification. You can''t terminate the contract."


    "I''m sorry, but I''m simply following orders. If you have any concerns, you can contact Cedric Jordan, the deputy general manager in charge of this project."


    With that, the caller said goodbye and hung up.


    As Dorian listened to the dial tone from the phone, his expression contorted. He refused to believe this was just a coincidence. Someone must be targeting him deliberately.


    Was it L? Or Noah?


    Just then, the project leader knocked on the door and entered, seeing Dorian''s unsightly expression.


    He had no other choice but to brace himself. "Mr. ke, Joyce Group has reached out to ask if you''re interested in taking on their script. If you agree, they''ll confirm you as the male lead immediately."


    Dorian''s eyes darkened. "Reject it."


    How much could Joyce Group invest in a washed-up actress like ire and an amateur director like L? Asking him so urgently was nothing more than a ploy to use his Best Actor title and his recent international award buzz to stir up attention.


    There was no way he''d give L the chance to rise again.


    So what if she had signed with Magi Pictures?


    Once the president of Morgan Group caught wind of this, L was bound to be driven out. He''d like to see how she would clean up the mess then.


    As for Cedric, who was obviously trying to retain L and ingratiate himself with Morgan Group, he was shortsighted and utterly foolish.


    Cedric, who was in a meeting, received a call from Cole. Seeing that it was the president''s executive assistant, Cedric immediately paused the meeting and answered the phone.


    When working, Cole was always serious.


    "No matter how Dorian''s team handles the negative news, Morgan Group will not permit any further coboration with such a tainted artist," Cole stated sternly.


    Cedric was momentarily stunned but quickly agreed.


    That morning, Cedric had already received direct instructions from the top executives of Magi Pictures, so he immediately had someone


    contact Dorian''s side to propool.ne


    terminating the contract. However, he hadn''t expected the president''s executive assistant to call him personally to emphasize the matter.


    After the call ended, Cedric found it odd. When did the president start caring about the entertainment industry?


    A sudden thought brought him joy. Could it be that the president was nning to heavily invest in the growth of Magi Pictures?


    If that were the case, wouldn''t he be in line for a promotion and a raise?


    Feeling quite pleased, Cedric


    decided to focus on better


    managing the artists under his wing,


    especially the newly signed L and


    her team. If he could elevate their careers sessfully, the president would surely recognize his exceptional management skills.


    After finishing her trial shoot, L had originally nned to return to thepany directly. However, Amelia held her back, and the two ended up sharing a meal.


    Given that their coboration was already established, L felt Amelia just genuinely wanted to make friends with her. L didn''t sense any ulterior motives from Amelia.


    Besides, L couldn''t think of anything she had that would be worth exploited by someone like Amelia, the heiress of Joyce Group.


    "Is there anything you feel like eating?"


    As L was driving, she nced at Amelia, who was seated in the passenger seat.


    Her golden hair and longshes gave her a doll-like appearance. Perhaps it was because of her good-natured personality and love for smiling, but even when her face was neutral, she still seemed to radiate a cheerful vibe.


    L thought Amelia looked a bit like a doll. And not just any doll-one of those that


    loved to dress up.
