Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 538

Leopold bristled at the insult to his brother, but knowing his future at Gale Entertainment depended on Magnus, he held his tongue.

“You know,” Magnus continued, “it wasn’t until I moved to Gale that I realized just how small Starlight Media really is. I wonder how long a little company like this can last.”

He turned to Larissa, his smile turning into a taunt. “What do you think, Ms. Judson?”

Larissa let go of her mouse and leaned back in her chair. “It will probably last until after you’re dead. As long as you don’t drop dead in the next few years, Starlight has a longer life expectancy than you.”

Magnus’s face darkened.

“But you’re right,” Larissa continued, ignoring his glare. “Starlight is a bit small. I’m planning to expand. I thought I’d start by acquiring Gale Entertainment.”

Magnus sneered. “You talk big, Ms. Judson. Your ambition certainly surpasses your brother’s. But it’s nothing more than a pipe dream.”

“Don’t worry,” she replied calmly. “When I do acquire Gale Entertainment, you’ll be the first person I fire.”

Tired of the bickering, Leopold cut in. “Larissa, I’m here to terminate my contract.”

Larissa raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So Gale Entertainment was willing to play the fool and pay your buyout fee?”

He and Magnus reviewed the agreement. Seeing that it was in order, Leopold looked up at Larissa. She was silent, her face unreadable. With a heavy heart, he picked up a pen and signed his name.

Magnus took the signed agreement and produced a new contract. “Sign this, and you’ll officially be a Gale Entertainment artist.”

Leopold had already reviewed the terms in the car. Without hesitation, he signed the new contract.

Magnus gathered the documents and stood up, his voice dripping with triumph. “Thank you, Ms. Judson, for gifting us such a promising artist.”

“You’re welcome,” Larissa replied smoothly. “And thank you for paying ten million to take out my trash.”
