As soon as Sarah appended her signature on the contract, Jasper rushed in like an angry bull.

“Josh, how dare you go against my will? You are playing with fire! Do you want me to withdraw the investment and terminate the contract Elva signed with you?"

Josh didn't even flinch in the face of this confrontation. He sat there with his legs crossed. Looking at Jasper, he said, “You can withdraw the investment as you please. However, I have to remind you that if you want to terminate Elva's contract, you have to pay for liquidated damages."

“What?!" Jasper laughed evilly. He pulled the empty chair opposite Josh and sat down.

"Do you want to become an enemy of SJ Entertainment?"

This was a weighty threat, so Josh sat up straight and spoke in a much calmer tone.

“Mr. Anderson, I'm not doing this just because I want to go against you or SJ Entertainment. You know, BRD Group is the biggest sponsor of our broadcasting station. It's also the main sponsor for several shows. The order to get Sarah on board for the new show came from the higher-ups. How can I go against them? As much as I hate to say this, I'd rather offend SJ Entertainment than be in the bad books of BRD Group. No hard feelings..."

Looking at Jasper with a complicated expression, Josh added, “Friendly advice, be very careful from now on."

Jasper's face darkened.

Josh took his copy of the signed contract and left without sparing the troublemaker a backward glance.

Jasper was so furious that he kicked over a row of chairs.

He sneered at Ariana viciously.

“You are really something, Ariana. You accused me of stooping so low and not playing fair yesterday. But what did you do afterward? You hooked up with someone in BRD Group. I shouldn't have underestimated you."

Ariana was angry. It cost her great restraint not to fire back at him. She just eyed him and looked away.

"You haven't heard the last of me. I won't let this slide. Just wait and see

* Jasper threatened and then left angrily.

The door of the meeting room was banged shut again. Sarah, who was sitting next to Ariana, leaned in and asked with her eyes beaming with admiration, "So, you really have a backer? I thought you were just bragging to deceive me. Well, thank him for me, okay?"

Ariana rubbed her head, feeling more confused.

"Honestly, I have no idea what's going on. I was so surprised after Josh contacted me again. I don't know why he changed his mind. Believe me, I didn't hook up with anyone from BRD Group or any other company at all."

Sarah hesitated for a moment. She recalled that Ariana was just as confused and surprised as her a while back. If this wasn't her agent's doing, whose was it? Could it be that she just found favor with BRD Group?
