The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 618
"I was the unreasonable one for targeting a star like you; I’m nothing but a narrow-minded madwoman." "Miss Blackwell, don’t say that.
I didn’t mean that..." Shirley looked at Ethan pitifully.
"Ethan, you’ve been with me for years, so you know me best... Am I a troublemaker?" Ethan glanced at her coldly and said, "If you had acted this well in your movies, we would have profited ages ago." "Ethan, you..." Shirley’s face turned livid and she quickly lowered her head, gritting her teeth in anger.
Ethan always praised and adored her, so she never expected that he would embarrass her in front of another woman.
She could not accept it! "Pfft!" Clara couldn’t hold her laughter back when she heard what Ethan said.
It seemed that Shirley’s sponsor wasn’t blind-he knew exactly what kind of person she was.
Ethan’s gloom dissipated when he saw Clara laugh, and he fought to control the affectionate smile on his lips.
He cleared his throat and said to Shirley curtly, "You came just in time.
I have something I want to talk to you about." Shirley looked up with brightened eyes and said happily, "Ethan, what do you want to tell me? Actually, I want to discuss something with you too.
Can I go to your office?" During the time she was away, Shirley realized that Ethan’s feelings for her had changed.
Scared of losing her current fame and lifestyle, she had tried to win him over again, but Ethan had instantly seen through her childish means.
He had refused to meet her until today, so she saw this as a great opportunity to win him back.
"Let’s go." Ethan inadvertently glanced at Clara before he turned and left.
Since he wasn’t talking to Clara, he was curious to see how long she could hold on.
Ethan, Shirley, and her team walked toward the president’s office.
Clara pretended to be indifferent as she walked into the elevator.
’Hmph! He can talk to anyone he wants! It has nothing to do with me.
I don’t care at all!’ Ethan watched the elevator door close and realized that Clara didn’t want to fix things.
He clenched his fists unhappily.
’Fine, Clara, if that’s how you want it.
Your man is about to be snatched away by another woman but you couldn’t care less.
Am I not important to you?’ "Wait here.
Ethan wants to talk to me alone," Shirley said to her agent and assistant.
"It’s fine, let them come in.
They should know about this too," Ethan said cryptically
Ethan put one hand in his pocket, his posture cold as he walked into his office.
He then casually dropped onto the sofa, uncaring about his image now.
"Umm... It’s fine.
Mr. Stuart, you can talk to Shirley alone and she can brief us later.
If we go in, we’ll only be in your way," the agent explained quickly.
Of course, she hoped that Shirley could win Ethan’s heart back.
After all, Shirley would fall from grace in less than half a year without a sponsor given her lack of skills.
She would lose both her net worth and her huge fanbase, and it would be tough for her to make a comeback again.
"Just come in.
As her team, you should be involved in her future plans, right?" Ethan frowned impatiently, burning with anger.
Clara’s indifference earlier had annoyed him, and now, these women were trying to scheme against him.
"Well... This..." Both the agent and assistant glanced at Shirley, waiting for her order.
They were loyal to Shirley, so they always obeyed her.
"It’s fine, just come in since he asked you to.
I guess the company has come up with a new plan for my development, so we should all hear about it together,’ Shirley said finally, a strained smile on her face.
They all walked into the president’s office and closed the door behind them.
Ethan put his elbows on the table, his fingers crossed under his chin.
He appeared relaxed, but exuded the power and confidence typical of a successful man.
His calculative gaze seemed like it could see through any hidden intentions.
"I won’t beat around the bush.
The current market likes tough women, so Shirley’s image isn’t compatible with it.
The board of directors suggested withdrawing some of Shirley’s resources, so we’ve decided to send Shirley to Korshach to study for a year.
We won’t accept any new jobs for her," Ethan said bluntly, revealing the company’s plan.
"What?!" The agent was shocked.
After a while, she asked hesitantly, "Is the company going to suspend Shirley?" "No, she’s going to study abroad." "But Shirley is a star who gains her fame through exposure, so it’s practically suspension if she doesn’t have jobs for a year! Please reconsider ... It was hard for her to get this far after so many years.
If she goes off the grid, it’ll be a gigantic loss for both Shirley and the company," the agent begged shamelessly.
They thought that the company might cut down on her resources, but unexpectedly, the company had decided to suspend Shirley.
It was unacceptable! "Just stop.
This isn’t a discussion, I’m merely informing you of what will happen next." Ethan’s blank expression told them that everything had already been decided.
"Ethan, why are you being so cruel?" Shirley finally broke her silence, clenching her fists as she asked shakily.
"Cruel?" Ethan sneered and glared at Shirley. "Letting you live after everything you’ve done is already generous!"
Shirley’s eyes instantly turned watery, and she grabbed his arm and sobbed. "I know that you’re still mad at me because of the affair, and that’s why you’re behaving like this, but don’t you still love me? Give me another chance, we can start over!"
"No way." Ethan brushed her hand off in disgust. "My intentions back then were sincere, and I really did want to spend the rest of my life with you, but you disappointed me. You’re devious and greedy, and I hate that kind of person the most. The only thing I feel for you now is disdain, and if you leave now, maybe I won’t think so badly of you."
Shirley collapsed on the floor in despair and helplessness. "I didn’t do that because I was greedy... I just hoped I could be the perfect match for you. I didn’t know things would turn out that way. Your father and I...’
"Shut up!" Ethan interrupted her and clenched his fists. "Don’t bring him up in front of me. You both are disgusting!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"I’m really sorry, Ethan. I never wanted to hurt you. I’ve always loved you, you know that. Please give me not suspend me. I can take up secondary female roles or join variety shows. I can start over, I..."
"Even until now, the only thing you’re worried about is yourself. Now I know for sure that I made the right decision," Ethan scoffed with disappointment. ’Universal Entertainment isn’t doing charity and has no interest in making losses. The board of directors has made a decision, and it’s non-negotiable."
"Fine, but don’t forget that it was you who asked for this!" Shirley realized that he had made up his mind, so there was no point in her pretending to be weak or pitiful. The only thing she could do right now was ask for help from a person more powerful than Ethan...
And she most certainly could do that.
"You’re not the sole owner of Universal Entertainment, you know. If you want to suspend me and promote someone else, you have to ask for his permission.’ Shirley slowly stood up, the tears in her eyes now replaced with a cunning gleam.
Meanwhile, Clara was hunched over and leaning against the door of Ethan’s office, trying her best to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Damn it! What are they talking about? What happened that made Ethan fall out with his first love?"
She could only hear their conversation vaguely from this distance. It seemed that the company Shirley and promoted another celebrity because she had done something to disappoint Ethan...
’Hah! I knew there was something fishy going on. This is going to shock the whole entertainment circle!’ Clara thought triumphantly, her fangirl past resurfacing as she smelled gossip. Although she had entered the elevator, she did not go downstairs. She casually went to another floor and then secretly returned to this floor.
She was still Ethan’s girlfriend. Even if she wanted to ignore him, she couldn’t pretend to not care if another woman was trying to snatch him away. However, she still had pride, so she didn’t want Ethan to find out. If not, he would always bring it up in the future.
At first, Clara planned to leave after getting sufficient info, but her curiosity made her linger on. As a result...
Clang! The door opened suddenly, and Clara went tumbling into Ethan’s office.
