A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695 Add Fuel To Fire

Once Christina and Victoria settled on their initial plan, Victoria did not linger at Scenic Garden Manor for too long before leaving.

After a brief afternoon nap, Christina headed to the hospital to pay a visit to Timothy as usual.

Timothy’s health showed slight signs of improvement. Although progress was slow, Christina still considered it good news.

Just as Lyle had predicted, Anya was indeed granted bail in the afternoon by a mysterious individual.

At the same time, the person Christina had sent to keep a close eye on Anya fell victim to her cunning tricks, ultimately losing track of her.

Anya’s escape would not have gone as smoothly if she had not received assistance from someone behind the scenes.

In the meantime, Christina beefed up the protection around Timothy, doubling the security personnel stationed in the shadows in the hospital.

To be on the safer side, Christina did not stay too long in the hospital, and when she left, she went straight back to Scenic Garden Manor.

Christina immersed herself completely in the ongoing renovation process of the studio. She spent the entire afternoon engaged in online discussions with Rayne, and she felt fulfilled.

On the other hand, the circumstances grew increasingly challenging for Emilia. Anya’s arrest did nothing to alter her own future prospects.

Upon receiving insider information that Emilia had been abandoned by the company, her manager shamelessly arranged various “reception” gigs for her. Every day, Emilia found herself either accompanying CEOS for social drinking or acting as their female companion during recreational outings.

However, Emilia refused to surrender easily. She convinced a big shot to let her participate in a live stage event for a small makeup brand. Keeping it a secret from her manager, she attended the event.

Melissa only found out about it when the event came to an end.

By the time the manager reached the event venue, Emilia had already wrapped up the event and was seated in the dressing room, removing her makeup and changing her attire.

“Who allowed you to take on the gig without permission from the company?”

The second Melissa barged into the dressing room, she began shouting at Emilia, heedless of the fact that the staff of the event was still around.

“Do you have any idea how the company operates? Have you completely disregarded our protocols? The compensation you received from the brand for your endorsement is nowhere near enough to cover the hefty breach of contract penalties. I’ve repeatedly cautioned you against rushing into a comeback. emphasizing the need for patience. Yet here you are, creating such a colossal blunder. How can I possibly maintain my credibility and advocate for your opportunity to make a comeback?”

Emilia stood before the mirror, delicately removing the layers of vibrant makeup from her face. Unfazed by the presence of the woman behind her, she cast a cool smile and retorted, “Melissa, I understand how unied you are with your myriad responsibilities. I wouldn’t dare burden you with such trivial matters.

Moreover, I willingly took on this endeavor without receiving any compensation. It could be viewed as a voluntary act rather than a violation of our contractual terms, wouldn’t you agree? Since the day I ceased all my previous engagements, your attentiveness to my affairs has been rather scarce. Your exaggerated reaction today merely stems from your apprehension that my actions might tarnish your reputation and impede the prospects of the emerging talents under your wing.”

Despite the fact that Emilia had exposed what was on her mind, Melissa was unashamed. She still felt that it was Christina who was in the wrong.

“My contract with the company only expires in two years’ time. You can’t work, but that doesn’t mean I have to suffer alongside you. There are few managers who only handle one artiste. Unlike you, I don’t have the luxury of not having to worry about money,” Melissa hissed, her words laced with sarcasm.

Instantly, Emilia threw the powder compact onto Melissa’s face before leaping up to her feet. At that, the staff hastily fled the scene, wanting no part in the unfolding drama.

Melissa covered the corner of her eye, which had been struck by the powder compact, and inhaled sharply. “Emilia, I’ve treated you fairly ever since you were assigned to me. Despite the company putting you on the back burner, I have made efforts to help you build connections. And now, this is how you repay me?”

Her words, however, only served to add fuel to the fire that was Emilia’s hatred.
