Chapter 405 Could You Hit Me

Madison just came out of the operating theater. She was only accompanied by her personal assistant, Erin Davis.

"Erin, my legs are broken. The doctor mentioned that not only do I have to stay in bed for about three to" four months, I also won't be able to dance anymore even after I've recovered. Erin, my career is gone! I'm finished!" Madison sobbed, her eyes full of despair.-

"Don't worry too much. I'm sure there will be a way for you to make full recovery with the current medical technology. Right, I'll go looking to see President Nixon as soon as he calms down. Also, I will make sure to request that they start the recording of the show after you've recovered." Erin tried to soothe Madison.

However, Erin knew she was just deceiving herself and Madison.

"I really regret my decision of jumping ship." Madison continued to sob.

"You knew about it already?" Erin asked.

"Yes. He's an underground gang leader. I've seen him together with Alex before, and he was very polite toward Alex. I'm sure it was Alex who told the gang leader to seek revenge!"

-Madison felt a chill down her spine as she continued, "Erin, I heard that the king of the underworld,

Flynn, and Alex are brothers. I don't think they're going to let us off easily."

Erin sighed. She finally grasped the whole situation. Four Seas Corporation had invested all of its resources into making Madison a rising star. Besides, the Galaxy Girls TV show carried great weight to the Four Seas Corporation.

However, Madison decided to jump ship just when the recording for the Galaxy Girls had started. How could Alex not get angry about it?

She had only persuaded Madison to jump ship after receiving a handsome amount from Ivy Media Group. I was blinded by money.

To be honest, she regretted her decision greatly. If she knew that everything would boil down to this, she would not have egged on Madison to jump ship, even if Ivy Media Group had offered her an arm and a leg.

Erin's major concern was whether the Ivy Media Group would save them if Madison were really paralyzed.

They could opt to retract from the agreement but the penalty for breaching the contract was a whopping 5 billion. Even if the two of them sold themselves off, they still would not be able to fork out that much to pay Four Seas Corporation.

If it weren't for Simon's guarantee that they could acquire the Four Seas Corporation, she would not have -dared to persuade Madison to jump ship.

"Erin, what if the Ivy Media Group decides to abandon us? What do we do then?" Madison got more and more terrified as she went down the rabbit hole.

Erin kept mum. She did not know what to do either and was still cracking her head to figure a way out.

Knock, knock.

Chapter 405 Could You Hit Me

Someone was knocking at the door.

+5 Bonus

The two of them turned around and saw Alex standing by the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He grinned as he looked at Erin and Madison. "Mr. Jefferson!"

The two of them were stumped at the sight of him. What is Alex Jefferson doing here?

However, the two of them saw a glimmer of hope when they saw the bouquet of lilies in Alex's hands.

Since Mr. Jefferson is here to visit me, will he forgive me?

The glint of hope in Madison's eyes turned into tears in just an instance.

"Mr. Jefferson, I'm really sorry for letting you down. I'm wrong for jumping ship. Could you please hit me?" Madison sobbed with a look of regret on her face.

Alex smiled as he entered the ward.

He put the flowers by Madison's bedside, and sounded quite concerned, "I heard that you got hurt and came by to visit you. Is it serious?"

Madison burst into a cry at Alex's gentle demeanor, "Mr. Jefferson, they broke my legs. I... But don't worry Mr. Jefferson. The doctor mentioned that I could make full recovery in two to three months. I know I di you wrong, Mr. Jefferson. Please give me one more chance and I'll be sure to appreciate it. Please..."

Madison clutched at Alex's arms and hugged it tight.

This was her last lifeline!

Erin had mixed emotions as she watched Madison begging at Alex. For an instance, she could not discern whether Alex was truly concerned about Madison, or...
