Chapter 483
As the Triple Group continued to expand, South City was no longer enough to satisfy it.
They wanted to prate the city with thergest economy in the region, which was North Hampton.
Soon, the list of guests for the charity g was announced.
“Ms. Lopez, take a look at the guest list quickly!”
Gerry and his staff brought over the list hastily.
“Morris!, Wilford, Trisha…” Zoey read out their names solemnly.
There were ten in total, and they were all new stars who the Oriental Star Group was promoting.
They had surreptitiously signed a spokesperson’s contract with the Triple Group without thepany’s
knowledge.
Zoey was infuriated. “Didn’t I say that we would decline to work with the Triple Group? Why did some of
them still sign a contract still? Go and get all of them here!”

Meanwhile, Gerry replied, “Ms. Lopez, please calm down. Our contracts with them do not contain any
uses that bar them from frence work. Hence, what they’re doing is not illegal and neither does it
breach the contract terms. If there’s any conflict with them, it would not benefit us at all. Given how well
received the two movies are currently, it would damage both our reputation and financials if we
offended the lead actors.”
“Are you suggesting that we just bear with it?” Zoey fumed.
“For now, that’s our only choice. We have to pretend that we don’t know anything about it,” Gerry
concluded reluctantly.
He did not expect to have been promoting such an ingrate. Maurice was even more difficult to deal with
than Niall.
“Ms. Lopez, Maurice wants to see you.”
At that moment, Maurice arrived and threw a set of ounts onto the table.
“Zoey, the movie has grossed ten billion now!”
Zoey picked up the ounts and took a look.
Aren’t these the respective ounts for the two movies?
The ounts were supposed to be confidential. Other than thepany andrge broadcasting
websites, no one had ess to them.
“Where did you get the ounts from?” Zoey demanded.
Meanwhile, Maurice sat down and sneered, “It doesn’t matter where I got it from. I just want to know –
how much are you going to pay me now that you made ten billion?”
“Maurice, stop being rude! You’re speaking to Ms. Lopez!” Gerry reprimanded him.
Maurice scoffed, “So what if she is? She’s still human. What’s wrong with my question?”
Zoey smiled in response. “Five hundred thousand. Your pay for both movies is simply five hundred
thousand!”
“It has been decided in the very beginning that all the actors’ sriesbined would not exceed ten
million. Thepany still needs to spend on special effects and pay the scriptwriters. Everyone knows
that.”
Maurice nodded. “I understand that. But it’s obvious that the movies have made a profit of ten billion.
Are you serious in just paying me five hundred thousand?”
Zoey’s lips widened into a broad smile. “That’s right. It’s because the contract states that your fee is five
hundred thousand. Whether the film is a sess or a failure, it has nothing to do with you.”
“Hahaha, didn’t you always emphasize that Oriental is a people-centricpany? In the end, you still
choose profits over ethics. How could you only pay the male lead five hundred thousand when the
movie has made ten billion. Isn’t that simply unfair?” Maurice challenged.
Zoey remained expressionless. “I speak based on my principles and will follow the contract to the letter.
No more, no less.”
“Fine, shall I expose this issue and let the public decide who is in the right?”
Maurice was smart to use the film’s poprity to ckmail thepany.
“No, don’t! Maurice, please calm down. Everything is open for discussion,” Gerry interjected.
If the matter got out, it would be very damaging to both thepany’s reputation and financial position,
regardless of who was in the wrong.
“Maurice, name your price!” Gerry demanded.
“Three billion!”
