Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 444

"Okay, let's change the subject."

Sophie swiftly pulled out her smartphone, which displayed an electronic signature between Julian and Aldridge Global, complete with a sealed stamp.

"Take a look. Is this your contract?"

"It is mine."

Julian clearly saw his own signature.

Initially, his mother had pushed him into the entertainment industry, and finding Aldridge Global was a stroke of luck. He signed with them without hesitation, unaware of the industry's complexities.

He returned the phone to Sophie and asked, "Where did you get this contract?"

"Do you want to leave?"

"Leave? And go where?"

"Ricardo has already invested in this project. Your debut with Aldridge Global is almost impossible." Sophie laid out the grim reality for Julian. "What awaits you is endless sidelining. I reckon your family isn't wealthy; you'll be dragged down sooner or later and then forced to pay a hefty penalty. If a reputable entertainment company takes you in, you might find a way out. But whether you'll become a star remains uncertain."

"What are you suggesting?"

"I made a bet with Ricardo that he'd incur a net loss on this project in three months."

"What?"

Julian furrowed his brows.

A net loss for Ricardo?

Entertainment companies weren't foolish, especially not a conglomerate like Aldridge Global. How could they possibly let this project suffer a loss?

Sophie smiled, "Once, someone in your predicament trusted me, and now he's a leading actor."

"You mean... Reece?"

Sophie nodded, then added, "If you decide to leave, I'll offer you a way out."

"What's that?"

"I'll cover your penalty, but you have to agree to one condition."

"...Go on."

"Convince all the male trainees to leave with you."

Sophie's proposal was shocking, but Julian only paused briefly before asking, "How can I trust you?"

"I'll cover everyone's penalties, and I guarantee to make them popular as a group or solo as long as they debut. At the very least, they'll be second-tier celebrities."

With that, Sophie pulled out a check already filled out with an amount of fifty million.

Fifty million was enough to cover all the male trainees' penalties.

"Alright, I agree."

With Julian's agreement, Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. She needed Julian's help to inflict a net loss on Ricardo. Without him, she wasn't sure how to proceed with the male trainees. Meanwhile, Sophie had just returned to her dorm when she was cornered by Shirley and the others.

"We saw you with Julian just now. You're dating him, aren't you?"

Jean was the one asking. She stepped forward and said, "Sophie, trainees aren't allowed to date. You're breaking the company's rules. Let's see how Skye will help you now!" Sophie remained unfazed, replying calmly, "Have you eaten something spoiled recently? You're speaking nonsense."

"You!"

"Sophie, you've broken the rules, and you must leave. I've already called Skye to deal with this fairly."

After speaking, Shirley showed Sophie a video on her phone.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Instead of showing me this, how about I show you something?"

Sophie took out her phone, revealing surveillance footage from the cafeteria clearly recording Shirley looking around cautiously before adding something to someone's meal.
