Alex tapped at Madison's shoulders lightly with his other hand and said gently, "Don't be too hard on yourself. To err is human. Don't worry about work. The Galaxy Girls TV show was curated for you. We would not have it any other way."

He pulled his hand out of her tight grip and turned around to head out of the ward afterward.

"Mr. Jefferson, I..." Madison was very upset and regretted her rash decision. She was so ashamed of herself that she felt like digging a hole and jumping into it.

Mr. Jefferson treated me so nicely, yet I chose to betray him because of fame. I'm really shameless!

Erin was taken aback by Alex's magnanimity. She felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for him as she looked at his silhouette.

We were really befuddled for betraying a boss like him!

"Erin, I regret my decision so much... I really did Mr. Jefferson so wrong that I feel like dying..." Madison sobbed as she repented for her decision,

Erin was about to soothe her when her phone suddenly rang.

She answered the call right away. However, she froze after just a moment.

"Erin, what's the matter?" Madison was puzzled.

"Four Seas Corporation is suing us. We're going to court in five days' time. They're not giving us any time to prepare ourselves. We're finished this time..."

Erin held her phone and felt like all energy had been drained out of her body.

"W-what?"

Madison could not bring herself to believe Erin's words. "Erin, did you hear it wrong? Mr. Jefferson just mentioned that I could go back for the Galaxy Girls recording after I've recovered. He wouldn't have lied to me. I believe in him!"

Her whole body was shaking as she tried to convince herself. She could not believe that Mr. Jefferson was toying with her.

"Erin, bring me my phone. I'm going to call Mr. Jefferson and let him know about this. This must be President Sawyer's doing. I think Mr. Jefferson is in the dark about this. I'm going to ask for him to rescind President Sawyer's orders." Madison was still in denial.

Oh!

Erin sighed as she thought that Madison was getting delusional.

However, she still gave Erin her phone as she was still holding on to their last glimpse of hope. She hoped dearly that Alex did not order this, and that Alex was indeed in the dark on this matter. Otherwise, Madison would not be able to take this huge blow. She might really go crazy.

Madison took over her phone and dialed Alex's number right away.

It rang three times before she heard a beeping sound. It was obvious that Alex rejected her call.

Madison called again but it was only one ring before she got cut off.

She did not give up and called again. However, she could not hear any rings anymore. She had clearly been blocked by Alex.

However, Madison still dialed Alex's number frantically.

Erin sighed and she knew exactly what was going on. "Madison, let me go beg at President Nixon to protect us."

Madison was oblivious to Erin's words. She was obsessively clinging on to the idea of calling Alex again and again until he was willing to pick up her call.

Erin cast a final glance at Madison. A vicious look flashed across her face and she headed out of the ward.

She took out her phone and booked an early morning ticket to Saxonburg tomorrow.

Erin knew for a fact that Ivy Media would not protect them this time. It was a penalty of 5 billion, and Ivy Media Group would never fork out that amount of money to help them out. She had only one idea in mind, and it was to flee abroad.

Otherwise, she would have to spend her remaining days behind the bars.

Erin headed out of the hospital hastily, and she bumped into someone on the way.

"I'm so sorry." Erin apologized and was about to leave..

"Ms. Davis, where are you rushing to?" The man she bumped into grinned as he asked.

Erin lifted her head to take a look at the man and was stunned. Isn't he Bob Lane, the second in command of the underworld forces?

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it!" Erin calmed herself down and apologized again.

"But I meant it." Bob eyeballed Erin's curvaceous body and sneered."

"I'll pay for your loss," Erin hurriedly added.

"But my brothers are only interested in your body. What do you think?" Bob sniggered at her.

Erin was terrified and tried to run away.

However, her arms were grabbed by a gangster as soon as she started to run.

Slap!

Bob slapped Erin across the face as he snickered, "Ms. Davis, don't even think of escaping when you still owe Mr. Jefferson five billion. You have to pay your dues."

He turned around and got into a Cadillac while a few gangsters dragged Erin into an Audi A6. The two cars sped off and disappeared into the darkness.
