Chapter 949 It Makes Me Sick
“Got it,” Jean said solemnly. Then, he asked, “Any news on the seven-century-old snowleaf?”
Tiago quickly responded, “Yes. I found an ancient family in Phison who once bought this medicinal
material at a high price. Because it was so old and precious, it caused quite a stir at the time. Now, that
family treats it as a family heirloom and has kept it safe all this time. I n to go there personally
today.”
Jean was quite satisfied with Tiago’s efficiency, and his spirits lifted slightly. “Okay. Spare no expense in
persuading that family to part with it and have it sent over as soon as possible.”
“Of course. Who would dare to disobey the Lord of Phison’smand?” Tiago replied with a smile

Jean’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Don’t reveal my identity. Just find a way to get it.”
Tiago chuckled. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The two ended their conversation soon after that.
Finding time to nce through the local news, Jean noticed that public opinion was starting to take a
positive turn, and his dark expression finally brightened.
After some thought, he dialedn’s number.
Ten minutester, Larry called Kyra.
When she saw the iing call was from him, she did not want to answer it at first. However, he was
persistent and continued calling five or six times. Unable to withstand the pressure, she finally
answered the phone, albeit reluctantly.
“Sorry, Mr. Mcdonagh. I was busy and didn’t hear the phone. What can I do for you?”
Larry smirked on the other end of the line. Nheless, he could not be bothered to expose her lies
and cut straight to the chase. “Make time toe back here and discuss terminating the contract.”
“Terminating the contract? Why do you want to do that?” she asked, taken aback.
He gave a snort ofughter. “Why, Ms. Marks? Don’t you know the reason?”
Her expression darkened, and she remained silent.
“What you did this time is your private affairs, and it’s not my ce toment. However, because of
you, Star Entertainment Media’s image has been severely affected. It has ced thepany in the
line of fire, and I cannot turn a blind eye to this matter. Do you still remember the terms of the contract?
Should you do anything detrimental to thepany’s image and interests, thepany has the right to
terminate its contract with you. Right now, thepany’s top brass is demanding to kick you out of the
company, and they’ve already hired awyer to sue you. You’d better brace yourself.”
Sue me? Kyra’s heart plummeted, and she quickly attempted to salvage the situation. “Mr. Mcdonagh,
could there have been some misunderstanding? I haven’t done anything to harm thepany. I’m also
a victim in this matter, Moreover, I didn’t mean anything by what I said. I just didn’t want to cause
trouble for that research
center-
“I’m not sure whether there has been a misunderstanding. I don’t want to argue with you either. If you
have any issues, you can discuss them directly with the CEO. I’m merely responsible for carrying out
the CEO’s orders.” Larry interrupted coldly, not wanting to listen to her thering. After saying that, he
hung up.

Her face fell as she listened to the monotonous dial tone. She had not anticipated such severe
consequences and was unwilling to admit defeat just like that. Steeling herself, she dialed Jean’s
number once again.
Fortunately, the call went through.
As soon as the person on the other end answered the call, she started pouring out her grievances.
“Jean, I don’t know what I’ve done to upset you. If it’s because of what I said that caused Ms. Garcia to
get dragged into the public discourse, I can apologize to her. I can also apologize for the fans causing
trouble and ndering Ms. Garcia. I admit it’s my fault for not handling the situation properly and failing
to set a good example for my fans. I can apologize for that as well. However, can you not be so
ruthless, leaving no room for leniency…”

Jean listened patiently to everything she had to say before replying in a cial tone, “There’s no need
to y dumb with me, Kyra. You should be aware of how much you’ve had a hand in orchestrating this
matter.”
“….”
“Alex Jones. You’ve certainly found yourself a solid backer.”
No sooner did he utter those words than a shiver ran through her body. There was an inexplicable
feeling that he had seen through her.
Her heart pounded fiercely, but she forced herself to stay calm and ask, “What are you talking about? I
don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“Still ying dumb? I have all the evidence of how Alex bribed the foreign media. Do you need me to
send them to you one by one?” His voice became even colder. It was like the biting wind in the harsh
winter months, sharper than a knife.
She fell silent.
“Stop putting on an act in front of me. It makes me sick. Only your brainless fans appreciate your
abysmal acting skills,” he continued with a sneer. Then, there was a click as he ended the call abruptly.
Her face turned as white as a sheet when she heard him say he felt sickened. Although he had been
indifferent toward her in the past, he rarely spoke harshly to her. Hence, the fact that he had uttered
those words clearly showed how much he loathed her!
That night, all coborations between the Marks family and the Beauvort family were unterally
canceled.
When Frederic learned about it, he immediately called Jean.
“What happened? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the coboration with the Marks family?”
Neither Frederic nor Wrenn had the habit of checking Twitter, so they were unaware of the story behind
what happened.

Jean recounted everything Kyra had done and added bluntly, “I advise you and Mom to stop speaking
up the Marks family. The more you do that, the faster you’re hastening their downfall. Kyra has tried
framing Neera multiple times, but I didn’t pursue it further out of respect for the two of you. This time,
however, she has crossed the line. There are still some matters that I haven’t fully investigated, so it’s
not appropriate to discuss them now. However, given what she has been doing, I won’t show any more
mercy.”
Wrenn was standing close by and heard everything clearly. She knew those words were meant for her.
Since Dandy had pleaded with her, Wrenn had initially thought of persuading him to refrain from being
so ruthless, At that moment, however, she was quiet and did not say anything.
