    Chapter 32


    Tom was shocked. “Fire who?”


    Eliza nodded. “The reason I’m here, isn’t…isn’t it because of the news being spread online?”


    “What are you talking about?”


    Tom turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled expression, “Update me. What happened?”


    The secretary paused. He inched closer and whispered into Tom’s ears.


    Tom frowned and his demeanor turned serious almost instantly.


    Eliza sighed.


    It seemed like she could not escape the fate of being fired after all.


    Just as she was about to take the initiative to resign, Tom smiled at her and said, “Eliza, rest assured. I


    will deal with that.”


    “I’ll fire Madeleine Robinson right now!”


    Aside from Eliza, the curious onlookers were also stunned beyond words.


    The secretary reminded Tom discreetly, “You’re talking about Eliza right?”


    Tom frowned and said, “No! The one who should be fired is Madeleine! How dare she frame my staff in


    mypany!”


    “Eliza is a professional stuntwoman with outstanding work ethics and qualities. There’s absolutely no way


    she’d seduce a small fry like Jay Carr!”


    He added while smiling at Eliza, “Eliza, let’s go upstairs to discuss the issue further.”


    Eliza was so shocked that her jaw literally dropped to the ground.


    “What’s going on?” she thought.


    Still in a state of confusion, she followed Tom to the VIP lounge.


    Tom poured her tea and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve ordered my subordinates to delete that video. I assure


    you, that post will not affect your career prospects in any way.”


    After Beau left, Tom pondered about the incident that happened yesterday for the entire night.


    He was shocked to discover that Mr. Valentine was nothing like the rumors described.


    Rumors had it that Mr. Valentine didn’t love his wife at all and he treated her poorly. However, what


    happenedst night had opened his eyes. Unexpectedly, he was a loving husband who cared deeply for


    Eliza!


    Though Tom didn’t know why Beau would marry a lowly stuntwoman, he knew for a fact that Valentine’s


    Group would definitely invest in Parson Media if he treated Eliza well.


    Tom couldn’t help but widen his smile at the thought of the endless benefits that Valentine’s Group could


    offer. “Eliza, I will do my best to nurture talented actresses like you.”


    “As long as you focus on your work, I will definitely offer you the position as the female lead in the near


    future!”


    Eliza looked at Tom in amazement. She didn’t know if she should ept the teacup handed to her or


    not.


    After a while, she received the cup and asked, “Why… why are you so nice to me?”


    She knew that Tom wasn’t a kind person.


    His sudden change in attitude was really rming and Eliza couldn’t help but squirm nervously in her


    seat.


    “That’s because…”


    Before Tom could finish speaking, someone pushed open the door.


    The chief director of the film, ‘Snowy Night’, entered the VIP lounge.


    “Mr. Ellis, I hope you could grant me permission to fire Eliza Lawson, the stuntwoman.”


    He sat down just opposite Eliza andined. “I was arguing with Roseane just now because she


    refused to fire that stuntwoman. Since I can’t get on terms with her. I’m hoping that you could…”


    Obviously, the director did not recognize Eliza as he continued bbering,


    “Jay’s manager just informed me that the incident has affected the couple’s rtionship drastically. If we


    don’t fire that stuntwoman, they threatened to resign.”


    “I think we should fire her. Someone as unprofessional as her should be fired. The sooner the better.”


    “Let them resign.”


    Tom interrupted him while sipping on the cup of tea. “Does Jay really think that he’s that great? He’s not


    in any position to act all cocky.”


    He smiled at Eliza and added, “Eliza, am I right?”


    She didn’t know what to say.


    The chief director was dumbstruck.


    He whispered into Tom’s ears. “The drama series is worth 2 billion dors and we are already hallway


    through the filming process. If they resign now, we will lose everything.” D


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Tom snorted. “2 billion dors is nothing to me.”


    “You shouldn’t fire Eliza for something she didn’t do!”


    Tom said in a righteous and imposing manner.


    Deep down, he knew that 2 billion was nothing to Mr. Valentine. If he could win Eliza’s favor, he could get


    the money back easily. If anything. Mr. Valentine would return the favor tenfold!


    The chief director red at Tom incredulously and said, “Are you out of your mind right now?”


    “I don’t know what’s wrong with you but I will never fire Jay!”


    After that, he rose furiously and roared in disdain, “If you don’t fire Eliza, I will go against you by asking


    everyone in Parson Media to quit!”


    Bang!


    He mmed the door and stormed away.


    “Such a rude person!”


    After expressing his disapproval of the chief director’s attitude, Tom turned to Eliza and grinned. “I truly


    apologize for what happened just now.”


    She gritted her teeth nervously,


    No matter how dense she was, she could tell that there was something wrong with Tom today.


    Tom was the kind of boss who liked exploiting his employees whenever he could.


    He would never risk 2 billion dors for a small fry like herself.


    She bit her lips and said, “Mr. Ellis, you don’t have to do this, I can resign.”


    “I’m not worth 2 billion dors.” Tom looked at her cheerfully, “You are definitely worth that money.”


    “You are Mr. Valentine’s wife. Investing in you is definitely worth it. I could easily get back 2 billion with


    you on my side. If anything, 20 billion would still be a small sum to your husband.” Eliza was taken


    aback.


    Everything was clear as day now.


    It seemed like Tom’s drastic change in attitude stemmed from his discovery of Eliza’s identity as Mr.


    Valentine’s wife. She was the wife of a multi-billionaire. An ufortable feeling surged inside her as


    she grinned at Tom, “Mr. Ellis, I think you might’ve misunderstood something.” “You can’t rely on me to


    get what you want.” “I’m sorry to tell you that I won’t be relying on my husband to get whatever I want in


    my career.” She took a deep breath and rose to her feet. “I think I’ve made things clear to you.” “Since I


    can’t promise you the return of 2 billion dors, I think it’s better if you listen to the chief director’s


    advice.” After that, Eliza picked up her handbag and turned to leave. “You don’t have to fire me. I’ll resign


    myself.” Eliza let out a sigh of relief as she left the main office of Parson Media. She would rather lose


    her job than using Beau to pave her future career.


    Most importantly, she could still remain a sense of integrity.


    While she was preupied with her thoughts, a car stopped beside her.


    The window was rolled down, revealing Beau’s handsome face. “Braint told me that you’re getting fired.”


    “He ordered me to bring you home.”


    Beau’s sudden appearance wasforting. She opened the door and went into the car. “If you’re aware


    of that, why didn’t you help me to save my job?” D Beau smiled, “They’ll definitely ask you back.” Eliza


    grimaced and replied, “I’m sure Tom will beg me toe back.” After all, Tom was now treating her like a


    cash cow.


    Beau narrowed his eyes. “I’m not talking about him.” He turned to look at her. “I will make sure Jay begs


    you for forgiveness.”
