Chapter 253
“You…” Winter said angrily. “This contract is unfair and invalid!”
“Unfair and invalid? Ms. Shaw, a contract is valid from the moment you sign it. I’m pretty sure you
know that, even if you’re not a business whiz,” Ronald said, tucking the contract away with a sly
grin.” You think this deal’s bad for you? You need to understand the kind of gamble Royal Star
Entertainment is taking by stepping up despite the way things are going for you right now. If you
don’t want to follow through with it, sure, the deal’s off. However, if you’re going to back out after
agreeing… Well, you’d better think long and hard about that.”
“You…” Winter was totally blindsided by Ronald’s bold move. “I’m rted to Mr. Hoffman!”
“Who are you talking about?” Ronald teased with a smirk. “Royal Star Entertainment is mine to run
now that Mr. Hoffman has handed it over. ”
Winter’s face lost a bit of color. “Does Charles know you’re doing this?”
“Mr. Hoffman’s name isn’t something just anybody can throw around,” Ronald said, standing up with
a piercing look. “Take your time to think about it, Ms. Shaw. When you figure it out, let me know.
Royal Star Entertainment’s door is always open for you!”
Ronald was just about to walk away when Winter gathered all her bravery, clenched her fists tight,
and said with a fierce determination, “Wait!”
Ronald stopped in his tracks, a small smile ying on his lips. “Go ahead, Ms. Shaw!”
“I’ll do it, but you have to take care of this problem right now, and… even though I’m not the main
star of the show, I want to make sure I’m in a really good position.”
Ronald lifted an eyebrow and turned back to Winter. “You’re quite the decisive one, Ms. Shaw. As
long as you stick to the contract, there’s nothing to worry about, is there?”
“Yes!” Winter was so mad she could bite through steel. It was true, but there was a part of the
contract that was really bad for her.
Royal Star Entertainment promised to make her a huge star over the next five years, but she could
not get caught up in any scandals or faux pas during that time. Additionally, they would keep all the
money she made from endorsements and her pay for thest year, which meant she would not see
a
dime of it.
The worst part was that if she broke the contract, she would have to pay Royal Star Entertainment
half of what she would have earned in those five years.
The contract was a total rip–off when she looked at it, and the worst part was that she had signed it
without even reading it first.
Ronald tapped the contract and said, “Ms. Shaw, there’s no need to worry. Royal Star
Entertainment is going to make you the next big thing in showbiz. You know they’ve got the magic
touch!”
“Yes,” she agreed.
What else could she say now that she had signed on the dotted line?
