The Legendary Man Chapter 394

The Dark Side Of The Entertainment Industry

Jonathan cut the waiter off abruptly, “No buts! Just bring me a glass of water!”

“Okay. Got it!” Hearing Jonathan’s order, the waiter instantly brought over a glass of water.

Sitting down, Jonathan calmly took a sip of water. The thugs bit their lips nervously.

They were rooted in their spots, not daring to make a sound nor escape.

When Yuliana got out of the car and inadvertently blocked Jonathan’s line of sight, the thugs instantly scurried off with their tails between their legs.

Biting her lip, Yuliana said gingerly, ”T-Thank you for saving me, Mr. Goldstein!” Her face flushed red at that moment. There were some scratches on her body. Furthermore, her gown was torn.

Yuliana had already recognized Jonathan in the car earlier. She could not believe that she would meet Jonathan again under such circumstances.

“Don’t mention it,” Jonathan said indifferently.

He had no intention of meddling with other people’s affairs. If it were not for their encounter in the past, he would probably turn a blind eye.

“Do you guys know each other?” A hint of surprise flashed across the young woman’s eyes when she heard how Yuliana addressed Jonathan.

Lowering her head shyly, Yuliana explained, “Yes, we do. I was on the same flight as Mr. Goldstein a few days ago. However, there was an incident in the middle of our flight. It caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Goldstein. I’m sorry for troubling you again!”

Yuliana’s head sunk lower when she brought up the incident on the plane. She did not even dare to look Jonathan in the eyes.

At that moment, Yuliana felt that she was a troublemaker to him.

Jonathan said lightly, “No worries. I hardly did anything back then. You’re a public figure, Ms. Smith. Yet, they tried to kidnap you in broad daylight. Why aren’t they afraid of the police?”

“Police?”

Smiling helplessly, Yuliana explained, “Mr. Goldstein, I guess you don’t know much about the police in Gronga. They will only help the rich people. When have they ever cared about the lives of the poor? Besides, I’m not a local. Moreover, even if the police come to arrest these thugs, Mr. Wagner could get them out of prison with just a phone call within ten minutes.”

“Is Mr. Wagner that powerful?” Jonathan asked casually.

No matter how powerful this guy is, there’s no way he could get away with anything in Gronga, right?

Yuliana said resignedly, “Yes, he’s very powerful. There are four prominent families in Gronga, namely the Larson family, the Hansley family, the Wagner family, and the Zimmerman family. The Wagners hold the most power in the entertainment industry. Regardless if they’re local celebrities or from the mainland, no one would dare to mess with the Wagners if they want to find a foothold in the entertainment circle here. The male celebrities are in a much better situation than us. On the other hand, the women have to…”

Yuliana paused and let out a sigh. She continued, “Who would dare to refuse Mr. Wagner when he ordered us to eat, drink, or sleep with him?”

“What about you? You somehow found the courage to reject him,” Jonathan asked curiously.

It was common knowledge that such practices were rife in the entertainment industry, especially the show business in Gronga.

The majority of female celebrities here had to sell their bodies to succeed. The unspoken rules of the industry were thrown out of the window by the directors and producers as they continued to take advantage of the powerless actresses.

What kind of unspoken rules are these? It’s clearly laid out in front of everyone!
Yuliana sighed in frustration. “I didn’t dare to refuse him. However, I can’t force myself to go through that.”

“I entered the entertainment industry with the goal of becoming an actress. I want to show off my acting skills to the public, not to sleep with these people!” Feeling enraged, Yuliana’s voice began to tremble.
