OUT OF PRISON; HIS REVENGE BEGINS

0017

"Gina, with Valentine's Day coming up, If I could receive a set of La Prairie, I'd be so happy," Gwen said as she smiled.

Georgina chuckled and replied, "You can keep dreaming about it."

Indeed, the La Prairie was a luxurious limited edition make-up. It's likely snapped up quickly. Only prominent families with connections can afford it; small families like the Clarks would still have to wait to get a chance to buy one.

"Alright, alright," Georgina laughed, "Help me to buy clothes. Grandma's birthday is coming, and we have to dress up for the occasion."

Gwen nodded, took Georgina's arm, and entered a luxury line shop.

The next day, at Zion Entertainment, Nicholas exited the private bedroom and sat in the President's office. He was drinking until past two in the morning and was too lazy to go home, so he just slept at the company.

Nicholas's phone vibrated, and when he opened it, he saw a message from his mother-in-law, Esther.

"Nicholas, now you've learned not to come home, right? If you don't want to stay home, never return."

Within five minutes, another message came, this time from Georgina.

"The day after tomorrow is Granny's birthday. Go and buy a gift for Granny. Don't make me too embarrassed."

After reading the messages, Nicholas put his phone away. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Elise, the secretary, entered the room looking professional.

"Mr. Godfrey, we just signed a cooperation contract with the Clark family, and they sent someone over," Elise explained. "The Clark family said they wanted to promote Heather from our company. Ryan Clark is already waiting outside the door."

"Tell him to leave," Nicholas waved his hand dismissively. "Inform the Clark family that the contract is canceled."

"Understood," Elise bowed slightly and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Ryan was waiting anxiously. Georgina was the one who negotiated with Zion, but Barbara let him take the credit and had him come for the contract signing. Ryan chuckled.

It was rumored that Heather, the new signee of Zion Entertainment, was lovely with a sexy body. If he could secure a deal with Zion Entertainment to let Corent, the parent company of CK Group, handle Heather's image, they would undoubtedly make a significant profit. He believed the credit for such a successful deal would rightfully belong to him.

"Mr. Clark," Elise approached him.

Ryan glanced at Elise, the President's secretary, and was impressed. It was no wonder Zion Entertainment was a top-tier company; even their secretary was stunning.

Ryan smiled at Elise and asked, "Hey, could you tell me what the President said? When could Corent start packaging Heather?"

Elise smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Clark. Our President said to tell you to get lost. Moreover, the cooperation contract we signed is now null and void."

"What?!" Ryan couldn't help but howl in frustration, wanting to be angry but not daring to. Zion Entertainment was a force to be reckoned with, and he knew better than to mess with them. He forced a smile, which seemed more like a grimace, and asked, "Why?"

Elise replied softly, "Our President said that Georgina came to discuss the cooperation before. Zion Entertainment only agreed to cooperate because of Georgina's involvement. From now on, all cooperation projects must be negotiated through Georgina. No one else is allowed."

As the words fell, several security guards immediately escorted Ryan away.

Back at La Belle, Barbara sat on a chair, trying to calm herself down as she took a big sip of tea and stroked her chest.

Ryan sniffled and tearfully explained, "Grandma, Zion Entertainment said they don't want to cooperate with us anymore. They told me to get lost again..."

The pretty woman from the Clark family chimed in, "Grandma, Zion Entertainment is so unreasonable!"

"Yes, Grandma, this Zion Entertainment promised to cooperate with us and even signed a contract. Now they suddenly want to terminate it. Isn't that a breach of contract? We can take them to court!"

"Exactly, Granny! The contract clearly states that the party that violates it must pay twenty million in compensation. Let's sue them!"

Several younger members of the family chimed in, filled with anger.

The old grandmother was annoyed by their chatter and slammed the table heavily.

"Enough! All of you, be quiet!"

Everyone fell silent, stepping back as they saw the old grandmother's anger.

The old granny furrowed her brows tightly and scolded, "You youngsters, you're like rats and mice. Zion Entertainment might have violated the contract, but do you dare to sue them? Do you even realize that the Godfrey family stands behind Zion Entertainment? They are the number one family in San Francisco! They can crush us with their hands. Even if they pay us twenty million for compensation, do we have the courage to go against them?"

Everyone was left speechless, looking at each other in uncertainty.

The old granny's words were hard to argue with. Indeed, twenty million was insignificant for Zion Entertainment. Still, if the Clark family dared to sue, they would be entangled with a powerful entity like Zion Entertainment, making their future difficult.

"Ryan, what else did Zion Entertainment say?" Barbara asked, "They can't terminate the contract for no reason, right? Did you offend them?"

"Grandma, I swear, I didn't offend them!" Ryan hurriedly explained, "Zion Entertainment said that Georgina was the one who negotiated the cooperation. They agreed to cooperate because of her. From now on, all cooperation projects must be negotiated through Georgina. No one else is allowed."

The people present exchanged shocked glances. They couldn't believe Zion Entertainment recognized Georgina and insisted on dealing with her alone.

Georgina, one of the youngest in the Clark family, ran the least profitable company among all the family businesses. How could she have the ability to make Zion Entertainment recognize her alone?

Meanwhile, at Warlington International Airport.

"Mum, Dad should be getting off the plane soon, right?" Georgina asked.

Half a year ago, Georgina's father, Wilfred Clark, had gone abroad to start a business. He was doing quite well, sending Esther small videos frequently, showcasing his life with luxury cars and high-grade office buildings. He planned to return to Warlington and surprise the Matriarch on her birthday.

Esther said, "He shouldn't take more than ten minutes to get off the plane." They strolled through the airport, turning heads everywhere they went. Esther and Georgina were a stunning mother-daughter pair, attracting everyone's attention.

Esther looked like a sister to Georgina in her stocking hip dress, and her attractive figure was hard to miss. Georgina's jeans outlined her alluring figure, leaving many men mesmerized.

"Ding Ding."

Georgina received a text from Nicholas with a simple message: [Darling, if old granny calls you to go to Zion Entertainment to negotiate, be sure to refuse.]

Georgina was furious. She repeatedly told Nicholas not to address her like that, but he ignored her words. Furthermore, the negotiation with Zion Entertainment was already assigned to Ryan by Old Granny. There was no reason for her to get involved in it.

Everyone knew Old Granny favored Ryan, but Georgina was the one who negotiated the cooperation with Zion Entertainment. It's so frustrating that Ryan stole all the credit! "Is it from that loser again?" Esther coldly glanced at the message from Nicholas.

"Well..." Georgina nodded, fully aware of whom Esther called a "loser." "Mum, I want to tell you seriously," Esther stopped and looked at Georgina solemnly, saying, "Your father will return today, and after your grandmother's birthday tomorrow, we will accompany you to get a divorce. It's a must!"

"Mom... Nicholas, he..." Georgina struggled to find the right words to defend Nicholas but eventually realized she couldn't come up with any. She was unsure of her feelings towards him, but she did acknowledge that Nicholas had been with the family for three years and worked diligently, even if he didn't aim for higher positions. Other than that, he was good in his way.

"Enough, no more talk about this," Esther dismissed with a wave of her hand. "If that guy doesn't leave, then I'll leave instead."
