When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1266

Chapter 1266 A Lawsuit
Cecilia was somewhat bewildered. “However, our company currently has no resources. We don't even have an agent—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Eric pointed toward the door. “Isn't there an agent?”

Eric's agent, Marcus Woodard, was among the best, both domestically and internationally. He wouldn't just agree to represent any ordinary person.

Initially, recognizing Eric's potential led Marcus to take Eric under his wing.

Back then, Marcus planned to leave for a rookie after making Eric famous.

However, after becoming friends with Eric, he no longer took on rookies.

Marcus heard Eric's words from outside the door, and he approached them somewhat helplessly. “If you don't mind, I can represent him and the rookies.”

“Marcus, you're impressive,” Eric said with a smile.

“Don't praise me just yet. There's currently a bit of a snag with Eric's contract termination at Imminence Corporation. You might need to step in to resolve it,” Marcus said to Cecilia.

The color drained from Eric's face in an instant.

“Imminence Corporation again...” Cecilia had heard about this company countless times and never thought her good friend would also be duped.

“Tell me the details,” Cecilia said.

Upon seeing the look on Cecilia's face, Eric figured she had absolutely no clue that Nathaniel was the CEO of Imminence Corporation.

Afraid that Marcus would say things he wasn't supposed to, Eric immediately said, “Well, I've been tricked, but it's nothing serious. I can handle it myself.”

“What do you mean it's nothing serious? The penalty for terminating the contract is two billion,” Marcus quickly retorted.

“Two billion?” Charlotte was stunned and in disbelief.

For an average person, this amount of money was astronomical, something they might not be able to earn even in ten lifetimes.

“Why would a contract termination cost so much?” Charlotte couldn't understand why even the most talented artist would need such a high termination fee.

At that moment, he finally understood why a fine young man like Eric would cling to a married woman, a mother no less. <i>This woman, Cecilia, is indeed overly generous.</i>

Upon hearing those words, Eric felt nothing but a deep sense of humiliation.

“Are you kidding? How could I possibly take your money?” Eric, being a man, could never accept a woman's money. “Don't worry. I have my own money. Let's go, Marcus.”

Eric then left in a huff, taking Marcus with him.

Cecilia wanted to explain, but it was already too late.

Charlotte sighed and gave Cecilia a pat on the shoulder, “Boss, how could you discuss giving money to Eric? It's such a blow to his pride. Any self-respecting man wouldn't accept a woman's money. He isn't a boy-toy, after all.”

“That's not what I meant.” Cecilia let out a sigh. “I thought I would need to compensate him for our collaboration. That money could be deducted from his future earnings.”

She hadn't expected that the usually amicable Eric would be so angry that day.
