The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 992
Dandy took Kyra's words to heart and harbored a deep-seated hatred for Neera as she blamed everything on her.
“People always say that ancient royal families were heartless, and it seems the Beauvort family today is no different. Our family has had a relationship with the Beauvort family for so many years, and yet, Jean can cut all ties with us over a mere woman! The entire Beauvort family is as absurd as Jean! It's simply outrageous!” she muttered through gritted teeth, with a dark and terrifying look in her eyes.
“If this continues, even with our family's assets, we will definitely suffer a significant loss even if we don't go bankrupt. There's no doubt that we will fall from the ranks of the top-tier elites. We might not even have a place among the second-tier. By then, our family will become the laughingstock of Kingsview!”
Just the thought of such a life felt suffocating.
Kyra was in a state of panic as her mother was her only hope.
“What should we do now, Mom? You and Dad must think of a solution! We have to stop things from escalating any further—”
Feeling unbearably agitated, Dandy brushed her hand off and shouted impatiently, “What should we do, you ask? What else can I do? Your father is swamped with work at the company right now. He's at his wits' end, so he can't handle everything on his own. What other solutions could there be, apart from getting the Beauvort family to stop their oppression?”
With that, she turned to Kyra and said, “Why don't you go find Wrenn? I can't speak to her, but it should be different for you. She used to adore you so much, so she might persuade Jean to back off if you coax her a bit. If all else fails, she might at least provide us with a way out.”
However, Kyra felt displeased when she heard that.
“That was in the past. Wrenn is not so easily fooled anymore. She's completely devoted to those three illegitimate children, and she has already accepted Neera as well. How could she possibly cause trouble for Jean because of me?”
Kyra could already predict what the outcome would be without approaching Wrenn, and she certainly didn't want to lose that last bit of her self-respect.
Moreover, she was in a tough spot at the moment as she had to go to the company in the afternoon to terminate her contract. There was no telling how many people would be there to laugh at her.
The thought alone was enough to infuriate her, making her feel unbearably upset.
In the afternoon, Kyra appeared at Star Entertainment Media.
No one knew where the rumor had originated from, but many media outlets had already staked out here early, waiting for the first-hand scoop.
The moment when Kyra walked into the company building, she was captured by countless cameras, and there was even a live online broadcast.
Netizens also joined in the spectacle, hurling all sorts of sarcastic remarks at Kyra.
Two-Faced Kyra has arrived, come watch this!
I have to admit, I'm somewhat impressed by her audacity to show up. If I were in her shoes, I'd find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never face the world again!
What a masterful performance! Truly befitting of an actress! If only her acting skills in the dramas were as good as her theatrics in real life!
Now that the Marks family can't get any more sustenance from the Beauvort family, I wonder if Two-Faced Kyra will continue to market herself as a wealthy socialite. I'm really looking forward to it.
At that moment, Kyra was still unaware that she had once again become the butt of the joke.
Larry had been waiting for quite some time in his office.
Upon seeing her show up, he got straight to the point and handed over the termination contract.
In addition to this, there was also an indictment personally drafted by the top lawyer from headquarters.
The content pertained to a lawsuit against Kyra. During the contract period, due to personal reasons, she had stirred up extremely negative public opinion and was even dismissed by the brand with which she was collaborating with. This had caused the company enormous losses, so the company was seeking compensation from her.
Kyra quickly scanned through it, her face turning ashen.
When she saw the compensation fee, she was so shocked that she couldn't catch her breath.
It was clearly written here that she had breached the contract first, so she would have to pay several hundred million in compensation.
Marks Group was currently facing a crisis, so they couldn't possibly pay such a large amount of money.
As if that wasn't bad enough, she has always been extravagant and reckless with her spendings, so she couldn't even come up with fifty million, let alone a few billion.
At that moment, she gritted her teeth hard and could barely maintain her composure. With a stern face, she began to negotiate with Larry.
“You're only talking about the compensation, but what about the money that's owed to me? I haven't received payment for some of the TV shows I've filmed, not to mention the endorsement fees for the advertisements. Surely, these should offset some of the amount, right?”
Larry leaned back leisurely, letting out a scoff upon hearing the words.
“I'm surprised you have the nerve to bring that up! Kyra, is this your first day in this industry? Don't you know that the money has already gone down the drain because of your terrible influence? Given your current reputation, who would dare to broadcast those TV dramas? The film crew had to replace the lead actress and reshoot everything, which requires a substantial amount of money. Your endorsements have also been replaced overnight. Are you going to cover all these costs? Also, many investors are demanding compensation from the company. You should be glad that the company hasn't pinned these on you and asked you for compensation! How could you have the audacity to suggest using this money to offset the penalty?”
Kyra seemed to have suffered a great humiliation as her face went pale.
She never expected to find herself in such a dire situation, nor did she anticipate that Jean could be so ruthless.
It was clear as day that they didn't care what happened to her.
Larry didn't have the patience to keep this up with her. Seeing her silent, he impatiently issued an ultimatum.
“All right, enough talk. Every document you need to see is right here. Whether you accept it or not, it's all your own doing. This is the maximum leniency the company can afford to give you. Within three days, you must pay all the compensation. Please sign here if there are no issues.”
Kyra panicked. “I-I can't repay it that quickly...”
“That's your problem, not mine. I'm just here to inform you. Please sign them as soon as possible,” Larry replied indifferently.
He was impervious to persuasion.
Kyra knew she couldn't reason with him. Although she was both angry and anxious, she had no choice but to sign her name on the documents.
Upon leaving Larry's office, she happened to bump into Sasha.
A look of mockery surfaced in Sasha's eyes when she saw Kyra's gloomy expression.
“People always say that ancient royal families were heartless, and it seems the Beauvort family today is no different. Our family has had a relationship with the Beauvort family for so many years, and yet, Jean can cut all ties with us over a mere woman! The entire Beauvort family is as absurd as Jean!
