Translator: 549690339

Rong Weiwei felt as if her face was about to swell up from being slapped!

She couldn’t even maintain a façade anymore, her complexion turned extremely ugly.

What did he mean by that? Did he mean that he would rather pay compensation and not invest than to replace her?

If today’s incident were to get out, how would she have the face to continue in HuanYu, in the entertainment industry? She would become the laughingstock of everyone!

But the irony was that there were so many people in the meeting room today, and it was she who had taken the initiative to ask Stephen to express any dissatisfaction.

Now, she couldn’t handle the situation quietly even if she wanted to.

For the first time, Rong Weiwei truly understood what it felt like to be ‘riding a tiger and unable to dismount.’

“Director Stephen…” Even though she was usually eloquent, in this situation she was utterly helpless.

As expected.

She had barely started speaking when Stephen had already waved his hand, indicating she needn’t say more, “Miss Rong, once I’ve made a decision, I won’t change it. I came here today just to inform HuanYu that I will compensate for the breach of contract promptly. I have an academic conference to attend and cannot stay any longer, let’s leave it at that.”

With that, he stood up in front of everyone’s gaze, declined the offer from the higher-ups at HuanYu to see him out, and left gracefully…

In the meeting room, Rong Weiwei stood pale and ghastly in her spot, while others, having had their fill of the ‘excitement,’ found excuses to leave one after another.

In the blink of an eye, she was left alone.

“How could this…” Rong Weiwei stood there, biting her lip hard.

How could it have come to this.

Stephen was willing to give up three hundred million, just to have her replaced and was even talking about compensating her for the contract breach… She felt an acute pain as if her nerves were on edge, and her mind went blank.

This was already the second major investment she had been replaced in.

For “The Three Kingdoms,” she could still explain to the public that it was because she signed on to a new project with an international director and had no available schedule, so she dropped out herself.

But how could she explain this situation with Stephen?

She could already imagine just how loud the mocking voices on the internet would be once the news that she’d been replaced again came out!

Just as Rong Weiwei was standing there, not knowing how to clean up this mess, her phone suddenly rang.

“Hello?” She answered the call, her mood was foul, her tone carrying a chill, completely lacking her usual poise.

The person on the other end seemed puzzled, checking if they had dialed the wrong number. After confirming, they addressed her, “Miss Rong? Hello. I am a staff member from the Capital City Court. The thing is, the trial concerning the defamation of Miss Rong Yan’s reputation by you and Mr. Shi is scheduled for tomorrow. Would you prefer to appear in court personally, or will your lawyer handle it?”

The trial concerning the defamation of Miss Rong Yan’s reputation by you and Mr. Shi is scheduled for tomorrow. Would you prefer to appear in court personally, or will your lawyer handle it?

Rong Weiwei felt as if her throat was being squeezed; her breathing became rapid.

“Hello, Miss Rong, are you listening?” The court staff, receiving no response for a while, asked again, “Miss Rong, it’s like this. The trial concerning the defamation of Miss Rong Yan’s reputation by you and Mr. Shi is scheduled for tomorrow. Would you prefer to appear in court personally, or will your lawyer handle it?”

Rong Weiwei clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, and she squeezed out a response with difficulty, “I will leave it to my lawyer to handle it fully.”

“Alright,” the court staff, having received the answer they were looking for, reminded her, “Then please keep your phone available for the next 24 hours. The judge might need to reach you during the hearing.”

Rong Weiwei murmured an acknowledgment, hung up the phone, and then furiously smashed her phone against the wall!
