From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 

An artist like Sean, who relied more on his charm and good looks than his talent, was bound to face a reckoning sooner or later. 

When Debra hinted at her plans, Michael understood that she had a strategy in place. Sure enough, within just three days, Sean found himself embroiled in a massive scandal. 

With the Best Actor Award ceremony fast approaching, he couldn’t afford any negative publicity. Nichols Entertainment did its best to contain the situation, but the tabloids were relentless. 

The internet exploded with salacious rumors of Sean seeking prostitutes, sleeping with fans, and even being kept by a fifty–year–old female CEO. 

The scandal went viral instantly, with numerous alleged victims coming forward, armed with incriminating photos and evidence that Sean couldn’t refute. 

Three days of escalating controversy culminated in Sean being blacklisted by the industry. Panic swept through Nichols Entertainment as their prized asset became a liability overnight. 

Worse still, Sean faced astronomical penalty fees, most of which the company would be contractually obligated to cover. 

Michael, sitting in Debra’s office, scrolled through the news on his phone. 

“You knew this would happen?” 

“That’s why I sent him to Nichols Entertainment in the first place. 

“You’ve been planning this from so far ahead.” 

He realized that he had underestimated her abilities. 

Debra’s gaze was fixed on the news reports detailing Nichols Entertainment’s woes. She murmured, “I wonder how Juan will handle this.” 

The Nichols Group had recently suffered a series of blows–lost

partnerships, damaged projects, and a falling–out with the Frazier family. With the Sean scandal and the resulting compensation costs, Juan was undoubtedly feeling the pressure. 

In the boardroom of the Nichols Group, executives were huddled in an emergency meeting. It seemed as though everything lately had been targeted at their company, leading some to suspect foul play. 

And the only entity with the motive and means to orchestrate such at campaign was the McKinney Group. 

“Mr. Nichols, we can’t keep going like this. The company would collapse.” 

“The McKinney Group is going too far, pulling so many dirty tricks behind our backs.” 

“The penalty for Sean’s breach of contract is at least five billion dollars. His personal issues have dragged down the entire company. Mr. Nichols, your need to come up with a solution.”
