Chapter 103 Three Talents of Southern Star

Hailey put an ice pack on Ava 's swollen cheeks, her face darkened.

Just two hours ago, Ava and Reid had an argument at Newman Jewelry. Reid slapped his daughter all of a sudden, which was so loud that the entire design department could hear it. Allan came over from Newman Jewelry, partly because she needed to send Hailey the deign painting, and partly because she wanted to complain. Chris waited with an ice pack and looked at Ava's half face with finger marks, feeling very uncomfortable and guilty. He took the initiative to admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, Ms. Newman. It's caused by my dereliction of duty. I didn't know the situation in time." "Of course it's your fault!" Hailey got irritated, which was rare. She cast him a glance, and said coldly, "You

are not allowed to claim this month's bonus."

Chris bowed his head and agreed to Hailey's decision without saying anything. Actually, he felt better for

being punished.

Ava was extremely panicked, and said immediately, "Hailey, it's not the fault of Chris. It's none of his business..." "Why did not you tell me?" Ignoring her plea, Hailey asked Ava with a frown. Seeing Hailey's unpleasant expression, Ava didn't dare to put in good words for Chris any more. She shrank her neck timidly, and forced a smile, "You've had enough work to do and many problem to deal with. I don't want to disturb you because of my trivial matter." "He beat you in front of so many people. Do you call that a trivial matter?" Hailey 's voice was cold, "Why did he hit you?" With a calm expression, Ava acted as if she was narrating a normal thing, "His current wife, which is my

stepmother, Ms. Cindy Hawker, had always wanted to work at Newman Jewelry. And my dad tried to help her achieve it, but my master didn't agree. That's why she has never been able to get in. Recently, she heard that I entered the company. She thought it was because of my dad, so she had argued with him, demanding to enter the company. She required that I'm not allowed to work in the company if she can't enter it. My dad failed to persuade her, so he had to ask me to resign and leave. I'm not willing to, so he scolded me for being unfilial and slapped me." After listening to what Ava said, Hailey kept a sullen face, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "If you have a stepmother, then you will have a stepdad. That's true. Your father chose to deal with his daughter instead of his wife. What a powerful man!" Having never seen such a cold expression on her sister's face, Ava couldn't help being surprised. Chris immediately understood that whenever his boss made such an expression, someone was going to be out of luck.

"Where is Reid now?" Hailey asked.

Chris said, "At Southern Star Entertainment."

Upon hearing Chris' reply, Hailey immediately took Ava's hand, "Go. Go over there and see what your

awesome father is up to."

Reid has an idle job at Southern Star Entertainment, but he had a lot of power. He directly asked for the position of vice president of Southern Star Entertainment from Morgan Newman. As the vice president, he didn't do anything practical, but the actors' brokerage contracts wouldn't come into effect without his

signature.

The former Southern Star Entertainment was also a leader in domestic entertainment, which had

cultivated many popular stars and created many classic plays. Once in the circle, there was saying: No Southern Star, No Good Plays. What's more, it had three great talents which other companies were desiring for One was Randal Hodges, who was called Southern Star King. One was Dion Glover, a talented director Dion Glover. And the rest one was Ivana Walter, an exquisite fashion designer. All of the three played a crucial role is the development of Southern Star Entertainment, and helped it to become the top of all domestic entertainment companies.

But since the company was taken over by Reid three years ago, the company had always went downhill.

The topic tagged with 'What happened to Southern Star Entertainment' was often seen. And now among those three talents, only Randal still stayed in the company with Dion leaving angrily on the set and never showing up in the circle, as well as Ivana terminating the contract with the company and establishing her

own studio after Randal left the company for half a year.

Therefore, not only did Randal need to care about his own development, but also he should bear the

responsibility to revitalize the company. What's more, he was forced to help other stars. Randal's fans

felt so distressed and persuaded him to terminate the contract and establish his own studio, but Randal still stayed in the company and had no intention of leaving.

And it remained a mystery in the entertainment industry about why Randal did not choose to leave

Southern Star Entertainment. Many insiders exposed many news online- "You may not know that Randal is a very loyal person who knows how to repay others' kindness. Ms.

Nancy Ingram, who was Mr. Scott Newman's wife and the female president of Southern Star Entertainment, had helped Randal to use his talent in the circle. So he doesn't leave for was repaying her kindness. As long as the company exists, he will work for it."

"I've heard about this too. When Randal debuted, Ms. Nancy escorted him to the media all the way. She

even followed him to the filming crew. At that time, many people said that she was Randal's sugar

mommy..."

"That can't be true. I heard that the late Mrs. Nancy and Mr. Scott were very affectionate. Randal should be her friend's child, so she took such care of him and escorted him."

"I heard from a friend who works at Southern Star Entertainment that Randal, the Southern Star King,

protected many stars in the company. Reid, you all know? That old satyr. God knows how many young

female artists he has got his hands on! Without Randal being in charge of the company, I'm afraid no one can escape from his claws." "I know that old man. He abandoned his wife, and married a young lady. This matter has been exposed

on Twitter. I heard that many female stars of Southern Star Entertainment couldn't bear to be violated by him and chose to commit suicide. But all of those matters are covered up. Anyway the company is a hellhole right now."

"The entertainment industry has always been messy. But for any female star who wants to get ahead, no one can escape the hands of those bosses safe and sound. Ashley Wilson, a beautiful woman, was also a porn star before she became popular. Now she got a great move prize, so what? She still needed to to have a drink with the boss." "Alas, the circle is really messed up." Hailey took Ava straight into Southern Star Entertainment. This building was independent of Nanshi Group. Located in the south of the city center, it had good surroundings with a wide square at the entrance. Originally, the road had been planted with magnolia flowers, which formed a great landscape, but now all those magnolia flowers were replaced by plane trees. Today's Southern Star Entertainment had been totally different from before, all thanks to Reid, Hailey's third uncle. At this moment, sitting on his leather boss chair, Reid was holding a beautiful girl in his arms. While

enjoying being fed by her, he held a cherry in his mouth and pinched her chin, wanting to feed it into her mouth. Despite being disgusted, the girl could only force a smile. As he was about to kiss the girl's lips, the door of the office was kicked open with a bang, which made Reid so startled that the cherry in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Who?" He gave a sharp shout. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Hailey come in with a sullen

face, emitting a chilling aura.
