Chapter 145

"The breach fee is 11.2 million. How do you plan to pay?"

The HR manager adjusted her glasses with professional detachment.

Scarlett stepped forward calmly.

"I've scheduled a bank transfer. Please provide the company account."

Her voice was crisp and resolute.

The HR manager quickly sent her the banking details.

Every eye in the office fixed on Scarlett.

Derek's brow furrowed, his palms slick with sweat.

He couldn't let her walk away.

This stubborn woman had endured years of corporate pressure without breaking.

What drove him mad was Scarlett's exquisite features and perfect figure.

Countless investors had requested her presence at dinners.

If not for Melanie's protection, he would've claimed her long ago.

As Scarlett prepared to transfer the funds, Derek forced a smile.

"Scarlett, think carefully."

He feigned concern. "Leaving Lowell Entertainment will ruin your acting career."

"I can transfer you to Tiffany's team with guaranteed resources."

Scarlett recoiled in disgust.

"That won't be necessary. The money is transferring now."

Derek's smile froze.

"Don't be ungrateful!"

He hissed through clenched teeth. "Walk out that door, and I'll blacklist you in this industry."

Scarlett gave an icy laugh.

"Save your disgusting stares."

Her voice dripped venom. "You make me physically ill."

The mask finally slipped.

"You bitch!"

He snarled. "You could've had everything if you'd just obeyed!"

Scarlett suddenly doubled over.

"Ugh—"

Undigested food splattered across Derek's designer suit.

His face turned puce.

"Mr. Langley, the payment cleared."

The HR manager interjected smoothly.

She slid the termination contract forward, flashing Scarlett a discreet wink.
