Chapter 25


    The look on Angeline’s face changed instantly.


    I would’ve been fine if they chose someone else, but they went with Denise, of all people? I understand


    that it’s perfectly normal for celebrities working under the samepany to have some form of


    competition with each other. However, not only has Denise alwayspeted with me over product


    endorsements and roles in shows, but she also picked fights with me very often. I bet she’s the one


    who hired someone to nder me with those articles online!


    “Are you saying that a hugepany like Golding Group can’t even provide me with a proper reason


    for terminating my contract? You can’t just have me reced without a proper exnation! I won’t


    ept this decision!” Angeline confronted Evander with her fists tightly clenched.


    As if he had just heard the funniest joke ever, Evander let out a chuckle in response. “You won’t ept


    this decision? Who do you think you are?” he asked with his lips curled into a mocking grin.


    “Rest assured that we willpensate you ordingly for terminating your contract, Ms. Sorelle,”


    Ss reminded her cautiously.

    “This isn’t about the money! If you’re going to rece me with my rival, then you should at least tell me


    the reason behind that decision! Do you guys not have any integrity at all?” Angeline yelled angrily.


    Evander was starting to grow impatient as he said, “I have the freedom to choose who endorses the


    products of mypany’s subsidiaries. Even if I needed a reason for doing so, I have no obligation to


    inform you of said reason.”


    Angeline fell silent upon hearing that.


    He’s right… Golding Group belongs to him, so he has theplete freedom to decide who endorses


    the products of its subsidiaries…


    Realizing that Angeline was in a pinch, Floretta tugged at Evander’s cufflinks as she said, “But Denise


    doesn’t look as pretty as Angel, nor is she nearly as popr. A lot of people out there don’t like her, so


    you’ll have a hard time selling the jewelry that she endorses. This is obviously a bad deal!”


    Despite her being a five-year-old girl, her analysis of endorsements was rather sound.


    What shocked everyone even more was the fact that she held nothing back when talking to Evander.


    “Daddy, yourpany will go out of business if you keep managing it like this! How will you afford to


    raise me, then?”


    As her rude behavior was the result of him spoiling her, Evander had long since gotten used to it.


    Although he was fine with Floretta talking back to him, his feelings of disgust toward Angeline only


    intensified when Floretta took her side.


    If there was one thing he couldn’t stand the most, it was people using his daughter to get what they


    wanted, regardless of their reasons.


    “Ss, I want you to get the contract signed with that Denise or whatever her name was as soon as


    possible.”


    Throughout his many years of working for Evander, this was the first time Ss had seen him get so


    angry. “Yes, sir. I’ll go prepare the contract right away.”


    “Wait!” Angeline and Floretta called out to him in unison.


    Floretta then hopped off the couch and ran up to Ss. “Nobody is going anywhere unless Daddy


    agrees to let Angel endorse the products!” she shouted while standing in front of him with her arms


    outstretched.


    As Floretta was Evander’s most precious daughter, Ss didn’t even darey a finger on her as he


    pleaded, “Please don’t make this situation any more difficult, Ms. Floretta.”


    “Floretta may be a child, but she ispletely right about what she just said. Mr. Golding, I know you


    don’t like me, but you shouldn’t let your personal emotions influence your decisions!” Angeline added.


    Me? Let my personal emotions get in the way?


    The look on Evander’s face grew cold when he heard that. “What makes you think you’re capable of


    affecting my decisions?”


    “Everybody knows I could bring thepany more profits than Denise, so why would you choose her


    over me? It’s obvious that your decisions are affected by your bias toward me!” Angeline snapped back


    at him.


    Evander’s eyes were filled with rage at that point. “Ss!”


    “No! You’re not going anywhere!” Floretta refused to budge from the door.


    Infuriated, Evander shouted at her sternly, “Get over here, Floretta!”


    After racking her brain for an idea, Floretta’s eyes lit up as she suggested, “How about you have Angel


    and Denise both shoot an ad for Starlight Jewelry, Daddy? You can hire the one with the best results!”


    “Ads cost money to shoot, Floretta! You’ve gone way too far! Come here right this instant!” Evander


    scolded her impatiently.


    No brand out there would possibly release two ads from different ambassadors.


    Although Angeline found Floretta’s suggestion preposterous, she didn’t want to interrupt as she was on


    her side.


    “Actually, we can somehow make Ms. Floretta’s suggestion work.” Ss shot Angeline a nce as he


    continued hesitantly, “Mr. Golding, thepany is nning on setting up a public welfare foundation,


    right? Since we haven’t decided on a candidate for the foundation’s advertisements, we could have


    multiple people endorsing it. It’s quite amon practice these days.”
