The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 3: Going Home to Inherit Billions

In the office, Mr. Young’s angry shout pulled Leon Lowell’s thoughts back, "Paige Sterling, what are you doing? Do you have any sense of decorum?"

Leon Lowell, with a headache, explained, "Mr. Young, I’m sorry, Paige is just too anxious, she..."

Mr. Young chuckled coldly, "Are you here to talk about endorsents? I’ve decided to give the DR endorsent to lody rcer. Her overall image fits better than Paige’s."

lody rcer looked apologetic, "I’m sorry, Sis Sterling, I don’t want to compete with you, but this is the company’s decision."

Paige Sterling didn’t even look at her and sat on the sofa with a calm expression, "I’m here to terminate my contract."

Leon Lowell, "...!"

Ancestor, wasn’t it agreed that we would secure the DR endorsent?

Mr. Young was also stunned by the words but quickly laughed, "Did I hear you wrong? Paige Sterling, did you say you want to terminate your contract? What are you going to use to terminate it? The contract clearly states in black and white that if you terminate, you must pay Stellar twenty million in breach fees. Can you afford that in your current situation?"

When Paige Sterling first entered the entertainnt industry, she was naïve and signed a ten-year servitude contract with Stellar.

There are still three years left until the ten years are up.

Leon Lowell beca anxious, "Paige, don’t say such nonsense."

He turned his head to Mr. Young to explain, "Mr. Young, Paige just spoke out of turn. Please don’t mind her..."

Paige Sterling laughed, "It’s just twenty million. Do I seem like soone who can’t afford it?"

Paige took out her phone and dialed a number, "Bring twenty million, the smallest denomination."

In a few minutes, a group of n in black suits each carrying two bags entered.

Paige had them open the bags, and inside were neatly stacked... five-cent bills.

"Twenty million, not a penny less, Mr. Young, let your people count it."

Mr. Young turned green with anger, was she really terminating the contract or just causing trouble?

"Do you really want to terminate?" Mr. Young asked, "Paige Sterling, you better think it over, Stellar made you, leaving Stellar doesn’t guarantee you’ll do better."

"Who exactly made who? Mr. Young, say it with your conscience, without , what would Stellar be?" Paige Sterling crossed her arms, her tight leather pants accentuating her long, straight legs, "I also don’t want things to get ugly with Stellar, Mr. Young, let’s part on good terms."

"Alright, alright, if you want to spread your wings and fly, I’ll see how you fare without Stellar."

Does Paige Sterling really think she’s still the queen of popularity she used to be?

Leaving now, she’ll definitely co back begging.

Mr. Young ordered soone to prepare the contract termination papers, as several employees started counting the money with bill counting machines.

It wasn’t long before the machines malfunctioned due to overuse.

So, all the company’s staff were called to count the money.

Paige seed to find the scene amusing, maintaining a smile throughout.

"Take your ti counting, I can wait until you’re done."

The modernized company was turned into a chaotic marketplace.

Mr. Young’s face grew increasingly unpleasant, "Stop counting! Embarrassing."

He grabbed the contract and signed his na, then Paige left swiftly, her long legs striding away without a hint of reluctance.

Leon Lowell snapped out of his daze and quickly chased after Paige.

"Why are you following ?"

Although Leon Lowell had been her agent for seven years, he was Stellar’s man.

The decision was made, and Leon Lowell said helplessly, "You’ve left, why should I stay here? Have you decided which company you’re going to?"

He thought, since Paige terminated the contract so decisively and suddenly produced twenty million, she must have already found a new place.

Paige put on her sunglasses, her bright red lips spouting a sentence that made Leon Lowell’s jaw drop.

"I don’t plan to stay in the entertainnt industry."

"You’re leaving the industry?" Leon Lowell took a long ti to react.

Everything Paige did and said today made him feel like he wasn’t on the sa page with her.

"Paige, have you really thought this through? You’ve been in the industry for seven years, what else can you do after leaving?"

Paige patted Leon on the shoulder, "I have many things to do, like..."

She gave a sly smile, "Going ho to inherit a billion-dollar fortune."

"Paige, stop joking with ..."

Soone with a billion-dollar fortune working so hard in the entertainnt industry?

"Who’s joking?" Paige handed Leon a magazine, "This is my dad, Jared Sullivan, my real dad."

Leon Lowell’s head buzzed.

Jared Sullivan? Jared Sullivan?

Jared Sullivan, the chairman of the VastReach Group, one of the three giants in the dostic business circle?

"This, this is really your dad!?"

This is a real-life version of not acting well and inheriting wealth at ho?

Leon tried to find any hint that Paige was joking.

However, Paige’s expression was serious, and since she suddenly produced twenty million, how could she not have a hidden family fortune?

Considering her year of being sidelined, Paige was already in financial deficit.

Damn! This ancestor hid it well!

Paige handed Leon a business card, "If you don’t want to stay with Stellar, take this card to any company under VastReach Group, VastReach will have a place for you."

To be fair, Leon Lowell was indeed quite good to her over the years

Since she’s leaving the industry, she must leave Leon a way out.

Paige had a house in Silverstream Bay, with a good security system. She had been living there for the past few years.

Returning ho, she washed up and found her phone ringing non-stop. The caller ID displayed Seth Shaw.

Paige stared at the na Seth Shaw on the screen for a long ti.

She entered the entertainnt industry at fifteen, her outstanding conditions made her an instant star.

Although Seth Shaw was older, he entered the industry later than her. After signing with Stellar, Stellar invested several resources in him without seeing him rise to fa. They stopped trying.

Until he got together with Paige, through the resources shared by her, he finally gained popularity.

Seth Shaw’s rising fa made Stellar notice Paige’s lucky charm quality.

After that, Stellar pushed lody rcer into Paige’s care, and Paige boosted lody’s popularity too.

Yet in the end, she was ruined by the two juniors she had elevated, an irony.

And today she didn’t conform to Seth Shaw, and even ditched him, then decisively terminated her contract with Stellar, Seth must be anxious.

Paige didn’t answer the call, so Seth Shaw kept dialing.

Frustrated, she added Seth Shaw to her blacklist.

Then Seth Shaw started sending WeChat ssages.

"Why did you treat that way today? Are you upset?"

"Why aren’t you answering my calls?"

"Why did you terminate your contract with Stellar?"

"Why didn’t you discuss the termination with ?"

"Where did you get the breach fee?"

Originally, Paige wanted to block Seth Shaw on WeChat too, but recalling all the things this damn guy did, she felt it wasn’t right to generously forgive him.
