<h4>Chapter 956: Chapter 955: Have you ever thought about who it might be?</h4>


    "I’m sorry." Linda said sorry several times in a row, "If it were up to me, I would keep you in thepany. But I’m just an employee too, and while the boss listens to my opinions, the final decision is out of my hands."


    After hearing Linda’s words, Joanna surprisingly felt calm in her heart.


    She did not feel shocked or angered at all.


    She even felt relieved, as if the weight had been lifted off her shoulders.


    She couldpletely understand why HE Company wanted to terminate the contract with her.


    As a neer who had not made any money for thepany yet, but kept getting into trouble, she wouldn’t want an artist like herself if she were the boss of thepany.


    In fact, even if Linda did not mention the termination, she had already been thinking about it herself.


    She didn’t know why she was so unlucky.


    When she was just doing minor roles as a background character, there were no issues at all.


    But ever since she signed with a formalpany, one scandal followed another.


    It was like it couldn’t be stopped.


    She didn’t know if it would continue like this in the future.


    Hence, the termination actually made her feel much more rxed.


    Although parting ways with a great mediapany like HE Company would undoubtedly upset her, her current state truly did not suit signing with another brokeragepany.


    "Alright, I understand. Can we terminate the contract today?" Joanna thought about it and continued, "I’m free today, so I can book a flight back to Closia right away. Let’s arrange a specific time to meet up."


    There was silence on Linda’s end for about a minute before she responded, "How about we meet up over dinner together, is that okay?"


    "Okay," Joanna agreed immediately.


    "Joanna, I’m really sorry," Linda apologized again, "I never thought things would turn out like this. I had high hopes for you, and with your skills and qualifications, there’s no doubt you would have a bright future. But thepany..."


    "Linda, I can understand," Joanna heard the guilt and sadness in Linda’s words and softened her voice tofort her, "As you said, you don’t own thepany, and the final decision is out of your control."


    "So you don’t need to keep apologizing to me. Besides, I can understand thepany’s actions and I won’t harbor any resentment towards them."


    Linda gave a bitter smile, "Speaking of which, after you signed with HE Company, I didn’t secure any resources for you. You found the TV series resource yourself, and you also fought for the Female Lead 1 role on your own. Being able tond such a leading role in your first work, your future prospects would surely be limitless."


    "It’s thepany’s loss for making this decision. Eventually, they will regret it."


    "Joanna, even though you’ll no longer be under thepany’s contract, and I won’t be your agent anymore, we can still be friends privately."


    "Mhm, I know."


    "There’s also one more thing..." Just when Linda was about to hang up, she suddenly hesitated to say, "This time, the person who leaked the information seemed well-prepared. I checked it out, and the hot searches rted to you were artificially boosted."


    "And just like before, there were arge number of online trolls controlling thements in various forums, all targeting you uniformly."


    "So I think someone wants to bring you down on purpose. Have you thought about who it could be?"
