Chapter 121
"Okay!" Ned replied kindly.
After hanging up the phone, Ingrid looked at Linda, who was looking at her with an unsatisfied look,and said with a smile, "Ms. Davis, please help me contact Norwalk Corporation.
"Ned is right. This issue has always been a hidden risk to us. Now that we've signed the contract,it's time for me to reveal the truth to Simon."
Linda stared at Ingrid with her eyebrows furrowed in disagreement.
"Don't worry, Ms. Davis. I believe in Angie! If she said she won't take the initiative to expose us, shewon't do it." Ingrid affirmed. "Plus, the CEO of Norwalk Corporation said during an interview thatthey chose me because I fit their style.
"I'll let Norwalk Corporation know I've communicated with Angie later during our connect. Since theendorsement contract had been signed and settled, I'm sure a pretty person with a beautiful heartlike Angie will not expose us."
Ingrid continued reassuring Linda with a smile, "I'll try to be more sincere. Regardless of whetherthey want to terminate the contract or lower the endorsement fee, I'll agree!
"Considering that they won't contradict themselves for their brand, surely they won't terminate ourcontract."
"Don't be naive, Ingie!" Linda said through her gritted teeth. She folded her arms before her chestand continued, "Without Angeline's contract, do you think Norwalk Corporation will buy it? Whoknows if they will directly terminate your contract publicly to avoid trouble? And then say it'sbecause you pretend to be the lifesaver for Simon.
"If that's so, then you're finished! They'll find out about your relationship with Angeline and Mr.Fletcher!"
"Ms. Davis, didn't you mention that I can tell the truth after I've signed the contract?" Ingrid said withher eyes widened. "So, was that a lie? You've never thought of letting me tell the truth, do you?"
Linda pursed her lips as if giving tacit agreement.
Ingrid sighed before continuing, "Their agreement didn't state they'll terminate the contract if I'm notthe lifesaver for Simon, do they?"
"No, there wasn't. But with Norwalk Corporation's wealth, they might be willing to pay thecompensation for breaching the contract," Linda replied. "If you only want the money and continueto be Mrs. Fletcher, I have no issue with it. Just ask Mr. Fletcher to compensate you for the breakfee, and we'll be fine.
"But, if you want to keep your future, once Norwalk Corporation terminates the contract, you'refinished!"novelbin
Ingrid bit her lips.
Linda continued, "When your career was rising two years ago, people ruined your reputation bysaying you're a mistress. Now that you've just restarted your career, your future is still bright—"
"Stop it, Ms. Davis! I've made up my mind!" Ingrid interrupted.
Linda explained, "I'll be honest, Ingie. I don't want you to tell the truth. And I was biased when Iinsisted on having Angeline sign the non-disclosure agreement and take the money. I've broughtyou up to your current fame myself. I've always thought highly of you!
"As long as you have Norwalk Corporation as your stepping stone, I can guarantee you'll be at thetop of the entertainment industry in the future! Since I've replaced Angeline with you and let youtake her credit, I'll have to ensure you stay out of all the trouble myself!"
Linda continued, "If Angeline signed the NDA and took all the endorsement fee and ourcompensation, even if someone did find out the truth, we could just say Simon got it wrong.
"And you've talked to Angeline, but she requested monetary compensation instead of anexplanation. That way, you'll be off the hook, and I—"
Linda was interrupted by a phone call. She looked at the number and answered it after a deepbreath to adjust herself, "Hello, this is Linda speaking."
Linda's eyes lit up as she listened and quickly replied, "Okay, sure! I'll bring Ingie over!"
