Chapter 2813
Although Claire gave him 140 thousand dollars to take the risk and post the photo on his page, it was still a shock for Cecil when Sherman got so angry and wiped out his years of hard work.
Like that social media user said: this was considered lucky. After all, Cecil probably would not be able to handle it if the case truly went to court. After all, 140 thousand dollars would not even be enough to hire a lawyer.
Sherman's lawyers were on a different level. He even had a whole team of them! What did Cecil have? The measly 140 thousand dollars was not even enough to clean up his mess!
'That damn Claire! She told me I'd make big money if I posted the photo online, but look at the mess I'm in,' thought Cecil.
He spat on the ground in frustration.
Claire and her team were also closely monitoring the situation. She never expected Sherman to act so ruthlessly and leave her with no dignity at all.
[I think it's a publicity stunt by Claire. Otherwise, how could they take down this photo from everywhere so quickly?]
[Is Claire trying to pressure Sherman to go public with their relationship? If it was, then I must say that it's not looking good for her. She'll be known for this scandal before she's known for her dancing.] Since they were not fans of Claire, they began to relentlessly mock Claire in the comment section.
"Claire, don't pay attention to what they say. They're just uncultured people. How could they possibly spend money to appreciate real art?" said Serena.
Other staff members also chimed in to comfort Claire. "That's right, Miss Claire, you're the number one in contemporary dance, acknowledged by senior figures in the industry. What do these chronically online users know?"
Even if she was the number one in contemporary dance, what was the use? Sherman still did not give her any face.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Claire was gritting her teeth, not expecting Cecil-that useless waste of space to call her again. "Why are you calling me?" she growled through gritted teeth, staring at the screen. "Didn't we agree you wouldn't contact me except for the final transfer?"
Cecil grumbled through the phone, "Damn it, you've ruined me. So how dare you tell me not to call you? Do you know that Sherman's lawyer just called to warn me? They might actually sue me, all because of your stupid matter! What should I do now?"
"Huh! Cecil, are you this spineless? I warned you from the beginning that with reward comes risk. You're only facing a little risk now and you come to me complaining?" Claire did not really care whether Cecil would end up in court.
After all, she had him as a shield. Besides, this whole thing was solely for her benefit; she got all the advantages while Cecil got stuck with the blame.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to leave me to deal with this alone? We're in this together, you need to understand that. Sherman doesn't know that you benefited from this as well Even the locations were carefully planned by you. Do you think he'll still want to be with you
after he finds out?"
Claire could hear the sound of Cecil lighting a cigarette on the other end of the phone. Cecil was acting like a complete thug.
"So what do you want? I've already given you seventy thousand dollars. After this is over, I'll give you another seventy thousand dollars. That's more than what normal people earn in a year! Plus, you should know that a hundred forty thousand dollars is more than what your skill is worth!"
Even if the photos he took were not worth that much, what did it matter? The most important thing was to deal with Sherman's legal team. "Just find me a good lawyer, or I'm going to tell Sherman about what you've done!"
