Chapter 482
Everyone present was shocked at Maurice’s remarks.
In their eyes, Maurice was someone so ambitious to the point that he would ept work for fifty to a
hundred thousand.
So why did he turn down a job worth five hundred thousand?
“Maurice, the appearance fee is five hundred thousand. Did you mishear it as fifty thousand?” The staff
rified with him.
“I didn’t get it wrong. Is five hundred thousand a lot? Do they think I’m that desperate?” Raising his
voice, Maurice caused the staff to tremble in fear.
“Are you aware that the two movies I acted in grossed seven billion? That means I’m worth at least
tens of millions. So, are they looking down on me by just offering five hundred thousand?”
With fifteen million in hand, five hundred thousand was peanuts to Maurice now.
“Maurice, are you crazy?” The staff couldn’t help but retort.

“Of course, the movies made thepany a lot of money. But don’t forget that you are just a
neer. Thepany not only provided you the opportunity but also gave you five hundred
thousand. Furthermore, they spent a lot of resources on promoting you. Isn’t that fair enough?”
“Besides, you were the one that signed the contract willingly.” The other members of staff added.
Maurice scoffed, “The fact is I made them seven billion, but they only gave me five hundred thousand.
Why don’t we make it public and let our peers decide whether they are taking advantage of
neers?”
“Maurice! What are you doing? Come with me now!” Helena pulled Maurice aside to somewhere
private.
“Maurice, as your long-time ssmate, I would advise you to stop going down this route. In life, we
should have a conscience when making choices, or else we would end up with a bad reputation.”
Helena cautioned him.
Meanwhile, Maurice brought out a set of car keys and swung it around his fingers. It was obvious those
keys were for a Ferrari.
“I don’t think it’s such big a deal. I’m driving a luxury car and staying in a mansion now. Isn’t it
wonderful? Why do I have to stay back here and suffer?” “Helena, my advice to you is to sign the
contract with Mr. Waller. I remember that your parents are seriously ill and need surgery immediately.
Also, your siblings still have to attend school, and you were worried you couldn’t afford their school
fees. Don’t you want them to live afortable life? All you need to do is to say yes. Your parents
could live a life free of pain, and they would be happy. Isn’t that what you want?”
Helena was dumbfounded at Maurice’s words.
“Helena, listen to me. Sign the contract with the Triple Group. With the one-off buyout worth tens of
millions, your family’s fortunes will be changed forever!” Maurice continued to tempt her.
After struggling within herself, Helena was adamant. “No! I’ll still stick with Ms. Lopez. I don’t mind
making less money as long as I can sleep at night.”
Seeing Helena leave, Maurice berated her, “You’re a fool! Stupid girl!”
The next few days, Maurice acted with impunity within thepany. He would scold the staff and other
neers without reason.
However, due to the poprity of the movie, everyone had no choice but to endure.
Meanwhile, Zoey had begun to notice that Maurice was wearing clothes that cost hundreds of
thousands and wearing watches that cost more than a million. On top of that, he drove a luxury car. It
was obvious something wasn’t right.
Not only that, but a few of the other up-anding stars were also visibly less motivated in their work.
They rejected most of the projects offered and simply lounged around the office while putting on airs.
As theyrgely didn’t break any rules, Zoey had no basis to intervene.
Finally, the Triple Group managed to organize their charity g in South City, and it was a resounding
sess. Both the media and public came away praising how the Triple Group was a socially
responsible organization.
After that, the Triple Group nned to organize a charity g in North Hampton.
