Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1403

The agent said, "Your endorsement contract and the un-aired TV shows might all take a hit because of the scandal about your bad behavior. As an agency, when we sign a client, the most important clause is that if your image gets tarnished and affects the image of the product you endorse, you have to pay a penalty."
"How much would I owe?" If the compensation wasn't too high, Hannah thought she could use her savings to pay it off. No way she was going to ask Steven for help again.
Most importantly, the person trying to hurt her was Steven's crush. There was no way Steven would fall out with his crush because of her.
Joan said, "You might have to use up all your fortune to pay it off."
Hannah said, "Joan, stop scaring me."
Joan said, "I'm not trying to scare you. You can come into the office and look at the contract yourself. The brands you're endorsing haven't taken action yet just because there's no concrete evidence. But once there is, they will all come after you."
Hannah sucked in a breath after hearing this. She had been confident before because she had enough assets that even if she stopped working, she could live comfortably. But now, hearing that she might have to use all her fortune to pay off the penalty, she felt a wave of anxiety. "What can I do now to save my reputation apart from finding Steven?"
Joan said, "I told you before, our company can't handle this issue, and you have to go to President Dixon. Get him to help you handle this. I really don't understand. President Dixon is your solution,8 so why don't you go find him?"
Hannah said, "I just don't want to."
Joan said, "Whether you sold yourself once or ten times, it's still selling, what's the difference?"
These words hit Hannah right where it hurt.
Did it hurt? It seemed to a bit. But it faded quickly. Because what the agent said was right. She did get opportunities and fame today by selling herself. Since she had already sold herself, there was no dignity left to talk about.
Hannah laughed and said, "Yeah, I will contact him."
What the agent said was right. The most effective way to handle the current crisis was to find Steven. Whether Steven was willing to help or not, she would give Steven a call.
Seeing Hannah changed her attitude, Joan was satisfied. "You should contact President Dixon as soon as possible. Talk nicely to him, and if it's not clear over the phone, go to his house. Men sometimes can be very easy-going. He will agree to whatever you say."
Every word Joan said was like a stab in Hannah's heart. But she smiled nonchalantly, "Yeah, I will keep contacting him until he agrees."
Joan said, "That's right. Compared with money, dignity is nothing. Okay, I won't take up more of your time. You should call President Dixon now and let me know when you have good news."
After ending the call with her agent, no matter how reluctant she was, Hannah immediately dialed Steven's number. She never expected the response to be "The number you dialed is switched off, please call later."
The number she dialed was Steven's personal number, which only his family knew. When she was still with him, he never switched off his phone. But now he did?
Did he already know that she would shamelessly ask for his help?
Hannah didn't know. She could never figure out what he was thinking. Just as she was hesitating whether to call Rick and find Steven through him, an unknown number called Hannah's phone.
She answered the call. The voice on the other end was Daniela's, "You saw what happened online, didn't you?"
Hannah replied, "Ms. Daniela, I'm truly honored that you went to such lengths to come after me."
