Nathaniel had long since had someone investigate all of Eric’s assets, which even included those of his father’s.

If Eric wanted to terminate the contract, he would definitely not be able to afford the hefty termination fee.

Indeed, it didn’t take long for Ernest to have a conversation with Eric before Eric completely lost it. “Two billion? That’s ridiculous!”

“If you have issues with the compensation amount, feel free to have your lawyer discuss it with me,” Ernest stated bluntly.

Over the years, Eric had indeed made some money. However, he was not one to save, often spending wantonly. Whenever he had a substantial amount of money, he would use it to support impoverished areas and children.

At that moment, he simply couldn’t come up with that much money. Even if he sought to borrow, he couldn’t find anyone who could lend him such a large amount.

He stood up. “Fine. Get ready for a lawsuit then.”

Since negotiations had fallen through, there was no other choice but to go to court.

Ernest found it somewhat amusing. “Of course, you can do that, but let me give you a piece of advice–get yourself a top–notch legal team.

It was clear that a celebrity breaching a contract and then having to battle it out in court with their employer was not going to be an easy ordeal.

After learning everything outside, the manager couldn’t help but comment, “I’ve been telling you all along that Nathaniel is no ordinary man. You didn’t believe me. Do you believe me now?”

“Who would have thought that the CEO of Imminence Corporation would turn out to be Nathaniel!”

The manager exclaimed, “If this news were to be released, it would surely cause a stir in the business. world, wouldn’t it?”

Thinking on his feet, he then suggested, “Two billion is definitely something we can’t afford. How about this, you apologize to Nathaniel and say that the incident with Cecilia was just a misunderstanding. I don’t think a big boss like him would go out of his way to make things difficult for you

Upon hearing these words, Eric frowned. “Are you joking? You want me to admit defeat to him?”

“Why not? You need to understand, you’re bending over backward for money, the manager advised. earnestly.

Eric wasn’t paying attention to a single word from him “I’ve made up my mind. We’ll just go to court.”

He closed his eyes, no longer listening to what his manager was saying.

He didn’t just have romantic feelings for Cecilia. He was also deeply grateful to her, as she was his. benefactor.

Had it not been for Cecilia, he would still be a small–time singer in a foreign bar. Compared to that, two billion was no big deal.

He would pay it off even if it meant bankruptcy, as he was determined not to let Nathaniel look down on him.

Meanwhile, the ring of a cell phone broke the silence.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Eric quickly grabbed it, opened it and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes. He immediately answered. “Ms. Cecille.”

From the side, the manager couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched how invigorated Eric was.

“Are you free time this afternoon? I’d like to buy you lunch,” Cecilia asked.

She had also seen the news and only then did she realize that Eric had defended her online.

Cecilia was truly grateful to Eric and was determined to resolve the matter thoroughly.

“Of course I’m free. I thought you had forgotten about me.” There was a hint of glee in Eric’s eyes.

“How could that be? Don’t worry. I always keep my word.”

After finalizing plans with him, Cecilia ended the call.

Charlotte had also returned by then, having found evidence that proved it was indeed Jocelyn and Cecilia who had accompanied Nicholas to the hospital that day.

“The evidence has been found. However, how did the matter between you and Eric get dragged into this again?”

Charlotte was somewhat at a loss for words.

There was absolutely nothing going on between Cecilia and Eric.

“Right, the situation is complicated, Lottie. Let’s think of a solution together. I don’t want to drag Eric into this.”

“Alright,” Charlotte readily agreed.

She sat next to Cecilia, scouring ways to resolve public controversies.

“I never thought I’d see the day where I’d play the role of a PR Manager, Charlotte joked.

Cecilia gave a smile. “I appreciate what you’re doing.”

“I’ve got it!” Charlotte suddenly exclaimed.
