Chapter 976: Applying for Termination, Leaving Simsang Entertainment
Sandy escorted Belle to thepany''s entrance and watched her drive away before turning back to
enter the lobby.
"Sandy."
Just as Sandy was about to head towards the elevator, a familiar voice came from behind.
Sandy halted her steps and turned to see the person approaching. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly,
"Selena? What are you doing here?"
Selena walked up to Sandy and asked, "I heard you''re holding a press conference today?"
Sandy nodded, "Yes, with all that has happened these past few days, I need to give the public and my
fans a formal apology and exnation. I can''t just stay silent."
Selena agreed with a nod, "You''re right. Even if you don''t owe anyone an exnation, you owe your
fans a proper one. After all, they''ve been supporting you for so long."
Sandy acknowledged with a soft "Mm" and then looked at Selena, "Now it''s your turn. Why are you
here? Miss Austi just left from here, and she doesn''t know you''re here, right?"
Selena nodded, "I came without telling her."
With that said, Selena nced around and suggested, "Should we find another ce to talk? It''s not
very convenient here."
Sandy agreed, "Sure, let''s go inside."
Selena responded with a soft "Mm" and followed Sandy''s steps.
Selena''s appearance at Gotrend Entertainment caused quite a stir. However, one good thing about
Gotrend Entertainment was that there was no sense ofpetition among the artists. Compared to
Simsang Entertainment, the atmosphere at Gotrend Entertainment made Sandy feel more at ease.
That''s why Sandy boldly brought Selena directly inside thepany. She knew that no matter who saw
them together, they wouldn''t leak photos or spread rumors to the media. Such actions would be self-

destructive.
"Why is Selena visiting our Gotrend Entertainment?" A female artist who had acted with Selena before
approached and greeted her. Then, her gaze shifted to Sandy. "You''re not thinking ofing to
Gotrend Entertainment too, are you?"
Selena chuckled at the yful remark, "Would Mr. Hughs ept me if Ie to Gotrend
Entertainment?"
"Our Mr. Hughs values talent, and if youe, Miss Thompson and I can put in a good word for you.
Maybe Mr. Hughs will take you in," the artist teased.
Selena nodded with a smile, "Alright, with your support, I''ll have confidence then."
After exchanging jokes and greetings, Sandy led Selena upstairs.
"Are you not worried about gossip when you bring me in here?" Selena asked in a low voice as they
entered the elevator.
Sandy whispered back, "Do you know why, out of so many entertainmentpanies in Manches City, I
chose toe to Gotrend Entertainment?"
Selena was curious, so she asked, "Why?"
"Because at Gotrend Entertainment, everyone doesn''tpete with each other. For the artists here,
besides other artists under Gotrend Entertainment, everyone else is apetitor," Sandy exined.
Selena chuckled softly, "No wonder you chose Gotrend Entertainment. If it were up to me, I might also
choose such apany."
Sandy nced at Selena from the side, "How long is your contract with Simsang Entertainment?"
"Fifteen years," Selena replied.
After hearing Selena''s answer, Sandy asked, "Aren''t you going to ask me why I''vee to see you?"
Sandy maintained eye contact with Selena for a few seconds. "Are you here because of those posts
about me from the past two times?"
Selena nodded, "You guessed half of it."
"Is there another reason?" Sandy asked.
Selena took out her phone and sent a file directly to Sandy, "Take a look at this."
Sandy nced at Selena before picking up her phone and opening the file that Selena sent her.
Upon reading the content, Sandy furrowed her brows, "How did you get this?"
At that moment, the elevator stopped, and Sandy gave Selena a quick nce before leading her out of
the elevator and directly into her rest area.
Once inside, Sandy closed the door and invited Selena to sit on the sofa before continuing to examine
the file Selena had sent her. "How did these things end up with you?"
Selena looked at Sandy, "I saw it on Mr. Sharp''s desk and copied it."
"Mr. Sharp..." Sandy wanted to say something but found herself struggling to find the right words.
Selena looked at Sandy, "After seeing this, I''ve decided to terminate my contract with Simsang
Entertainment."
Sandy fell silent for a moment. "With your situation, the termination fee will be a substantial sum."
Selena whispered, "My goal in the entertainment industry was to y various roles, but with the current
situation, staying at Simsang Entertainment holds no meaning for me. Even if it means paying a high
penalty fee, I''ll still apply for termination."
After a few seconds of silence, Sandy spoke, "We''ve known each other for about three to five years,
right? If you''re really considering terminating your contract with Simsang Entertainment, I can introduce
you to awyer."
Selena looked at Sandy gratefully, "Thank you in advance. For now, let''s keep this visit between us and
not let anyone else know."
Selena then expressed her concern, "Are you really sure that people at Gotrend Entertainment won''t
spread the news of my visit today?"
Sandy looked at Selena, "Don''t you trust me?"
"It''s not that I don''t trust you, it''s just..."
"Don''t worry. I''ll inform Mr. Hughster, and with his involvement, no one will say anything."
Selena felt reassured by Sandy''s words.
"However, if others were to see these documents, I believe they would want to leave Simsang
Entertainment just like you, even if it means paying a hefty penalty fee," Selena spoke in a low voice.
"Our endorsement fees and advertisement fees each year are practically squeezed out of us. We
barely get to keep any of it, and then we have to pay various fees for reasons we don''t even
understand."
Sandy could rte to Selena''s experiences. During her time at Simsang Entertainment, despite her
fame and status as a top artist alongside Selena in the entertainment industry, the reality of their
position within thepany was not as good as the public perceived. Benedict Sharp, the CEO of
Simsang Entertainment, appeared to be a kind person, but in reality, he was extremely stingy,
squeezing every bit of ie from the artists and leaving no room for rebuttal.
Sandy knew that after her contract expired, no matter how much Benedict tried to persuade her to stay,
she had no reason to remain at Simsang Entertainment.
