Chapter 579 Terminate the Contract

Finished

Troy rarely explained himself, but this time he did, speaking to Max. “Skyla likes fame and status. If she stays close to me, she can get everything she wants. I won’t deny that she does have some real feelings for me, but…”

Max saw Troy suddenly look out the window and asked, “But what?”

“After you’ve had love with no conditions, everything else feels cheap. Even a tiny flaw won’t do,” Troy said. calmly, like he was stating a fact.

Max had been joking with Troy, but those words felt like a knife stabbing his heart. It came out of nowhere, and the pain was sharp.

Troy was also lost in his own thoughts. He kept drinking, one glass after another, and didn’t notice anything strange about Max.

When Max finally caught his breath, he raised his glass toward Troy and drank it all in one go. He laughed for a while, no one knew why, and then said, “Troy, honestly, you’re a very lucky guy.”

Troy had spent three whole years with the person he truly longed for–and with a heart that held nothing back.

True love is already rare. Three full years of it is even more so.

Max had nothing, not even memories worth keeping.

If he could live again, Max wouldn’t hesitate at all. He’d grown up too fast, never cared too deeply about anyone, always ready to let go. That was why he wanted so badly to know what that precious love really felt like. He’d pay any price just to get a glimpse.

“Lucky?” Troy lifted his eyes and looked at his friend. Max clearly wasn’t joking. Troy gave a cold laugh. “Which part of me looks lucky to you?”

Max said, “Whether you admit it or not. I think you’re lucky.”

Troy thought Max must have lost his mind. He kept a dark face and said nothing.

Even though today was his birthday, his mood was terrible–just like before he ever met Ayla. No, now it

was even worse.

But he didn’t have time to care about that. There was something more important right now, someth had to watch closely and tell no one about.

When Ayla chose Draven, it was like the two of them were officially saying goodbye to him. From that moment on, Troy knew his mood could never be good again.

Before, he could lie to himself and pretend. Now he couldn’t anymore. All he could do was accept the harsh truth. All his hopes were gone. Even happiness was no longer something he dared to wish for.

But when Troy thought about the future….

His eyelids lowered, and his eyes grew heavy with dark feelings.

Based on what Max knew about Troy, he felt something was off about him during his time overseas. Was he just overthinking it? Usually, Troy told him everything.

If he didn’t, it meant either it was top secret, or Max didn’t need to know.

Max didn’t ask more. Mostly because he couldn’t stand seeing Troy’s old, defeated self again. Now that Troy was in a better state, Max decided to let him be.

Before Bria took Shirley to Centurion Entertainment, she first had to end her contract with her old

company.

Bria went with her in person.

Shirley had just entered the entertainment industry and knew nothing. Whatever her old company said, she believed it. She’d been mentally controlled and talked down to for so long that, in her eyes, the company felt like an iron cage she could never escape. She had even prepared herself to waste ten years of her youth there.

But then she met Bria. Bria was the same age as her, bright and beautiful like a bouquet of flowers. And in just one day, Bria made the old company let her go.

When Shirley signed the termination in the office, her usually cold boss and agent were nervous. They smiled, nodded, and spoke carefully, afraid that even one wrong word might upset Bria.

But Bria was kind and gentle. How could she have such a strong presence?

Shirley didn’t fully understand it, but she didn’t care. She was too happy to be free from the contract to question it.

Afterwards, Shirley got into Bria’s car. Andrew was driving.

The two of them talked about things Shirley barely understood. Sometimes she caught words that sounded like lines from rich–family dramas, like moving assets, business stuff, but soon the conversation went deeper, and she was lost again.

But later, she caught one line.

Bria had paid ten million dollars to terminate the contract. Bria paid it out of her own pocket!
