DreameNovelChapter 354:
Vicky's heart hammered in her chest, her voice quivering with a mix of defiance and fear. “I am a talent
handpicked by my boss himself! What do you think you're accomplishing by this? In today’s digital world, your
wealth means little. You cannot simply bulldoze over people with your influence. | will take this outrage to social
media!”
Her rant was abruptly halted by a deep, authoritative voice that resonated with firm resolve. “Not anymore,” it
echoed, halting all conversation.
Carrie's gaze drifted over to the source of the interruption—a man in a sleek, well-tailored suit advancing
towards them.
Recognition dawned on her; it was Soren’s assistant from Silver Elephant Media.

“Ms. Campbell, Mr. Norris,” the assistant greeted them with a slight, respectful bow, his tone businesslike yet
courteous. He then turned to address Vicky with a calm that contrasted sharply with the tension in the air. “You
no longer represent Silver Elephant. The company has severed your contract, and there's a penalty fee awaiting
your attention. I'm here to escort you to our headquarters to finalize these matters.”
Undeterred by his composure, Vicky repeated her threat, her voice rising in desperation. “I will reveal all your
manipulative schemes online!”
The assistant’s face remained impassive, his reply steady and unflinching. “Feel free to try. Should you proceed,
I'll be ready to add a charge of defamation to your growing list of offenses.”
Vicky's eyes widened as she latched onto his last remark, her tone a mix of incredulity and alarm. “Another
charge? What else are you accusingof?”
Years of work, modest savings spent on a house, a car, and everyday expenses—she barely had anything left.

Carrie's expression remained calm as she spared Vicky a glance before addressing the assistant. “I'll leave it to
you.”
The assistant’s response was measured but firm. “Ms. Campbell, you're far too kind. It’s not your burden to carry.
Our company also bears sresponsibility for neglecting to oversee our artists properly. Mr. Rodgers will reach
out to you later to discuss the necessary compensation.”
He turned back to Vicky, his tone as sharp as before. “Once her termination is processed, I'll personally escort
her to the police station. Rest assured.”
As he spoke, two tall bodyguards stepped forward, their movements swift and practiced as they flanked Vicky.
Each man grabbed one of her arms, their firm grip silencing any further protests. Her lips quivered, but no sound

Kristopher turned to Carrie, his tone unusually soft. “If anyone ever tries to bully you again, you can tell me.
Even if you can handle it yourself, I'll always be there for you.”
Carrie's lips twitched with a faint smile, though her eyes betrayed no emotion. “She’s really naive.”
The words were dismissive, but her mind lingered on the real culprit behind Vicky's brazenness: Lise. Without her
backing, Vicky would never have dared to act so recklessly.
But Carrie bit back the thought. Raising the topic now would only lead to another argument with Kristopher. This
wasn’t the best tfor such a discussion.
The assistant’s voice was cold as he said, “Attempted murder. The surveillance footage at the company entrance
shows you deliberately driving into Carrie. Just because Carrie isn’t making a fuss doesn’t mean we're going to
turn a blind eye. She’s a partner of ours, and it’s our responsibility to ensure her safety. Silver Elephant Media
has always prioritized the integrity of its artists, and we cannot tolerate someone as malicious as you remaining
in our company.”
