"Ahem, if there’s no factual basis, I would ask Mr. Wallace to speak less. Leslie Howard is my client after all. If Mr. Wallace continues to slander and defame her, we will retain the right to pursue legal responsibilities."

Blake Graham coughed awkwardly.

It’s rare for him to show such an awkward expression because before coming here, Blake personally received a call from the young master instructing him to take care of everything for Leslie Howard.

From the call, Blake could sense David Redington’s care for Leslie Howard, a concern that was far different from his usual indifferent attitude towards people and affairs.

In the past, the young master had only been this conscientious about matters concerning the young lady.

Therefore, Blake guessed that Leslie Howard must be someone significant to the young master.

Having just witnessed the young master’s defense of her firsthand, Blake was even more certain of his guess.

"This is not slander." However, Billy Wallace continued to be reckless, "The original wife of that sponsor should soon come knocking, by then things will get ugly for everyone. Redington Young Master, for your and my sake, why not step back a bit? Your side should come up with a reasonable contract termination price, and our Starlight will try our best to cooperate and smooth this matter over."

Billy Wallace had already learned of Winona Wallace’s arrangements.

That so-called sponsor is the man they planned for Sheila Fletcher to invite Leslie Howard for tea, then arrange for her to meet.

And the sponsor’s original wife is naturally someone they misled.

By then, the original wife will come with relatives and friends to catch the affair, dragging Leslie Howard out from the hotel room.

They’ll then encounter the paparazzi, whom they deliberately leaked the news to, coming to stake out.

Even if Leslie Howard had a hundred mouths, she probably couldn’t explain it; from then on, she will be solidly branded with the filthy reputation of seducing rich men and wrecking others’ families.

Already surrounded by stains, Leslie Howard would only be completely driven out of the entertainment circle.

Billy Wallace believed he had explained everything very clearly; though David Redington is an actor, he is also a businessman.

Unless he wants his company to suffer losses, he would agree with his proposal.

However, the man sitting across from him coldly spoke: "41,380,500, that is the most reasonable contract termination price I think. Besides this price, the crew will not accept any other proposals."

"You..." Billy Wallace almost bit his tongue, "Redington Young Master, won’t you reconsider? Leslie Howard’s matter will soon be exposed by the media; by that time, the crew’s loss..."

"If the matter really occurs, the crew naturally has the capability to bear the risk. These things have nothing to do with Starlight, no need for you to worry. Now... you only need to give me an accurate answer. Will you pay the 41,380,500 penalty fee to terminate the contract, or let Leslie Howard continue filming? My time is limited, from now on you have five minutes to consider, after five minutes, I’ll see you out." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"..." Billy Wallace didn’t expect that David Redington would be unyielding, not caring a bit about what he said.

At this point, he had already made the stakes clear, yet the man in front of him remained unmoved.

41,380,500, no way, such a large amount, the Wallace family couldn’t afford it.

But thinking about the cousin who is gentle and graceful before people, but spoiled and stubborn behind the scenes...

Billy Wallace turned to look at Yvonne Holbrook sitting on the sofa, "You, come out with me."

He had to call his cousin, must explain the stakes to her.

However... three minutes later, Billy Wallace returned looking ashen.

He didn’t expect his cousin to be so willful...

She would rather pay the price, just to make Leslie Howard terminate the contract!
