Sadness clouded Nicholas’ gaze when he saw the way Quinn refused to eat. “It’s fine if you don’t like them, but you’ve been cold to me for the past two days, Quinn. Are you angry at me?”
He started tearing up as he said, “You know that I’d be upset seeing you unhappy, Quinn.”
Quinn instinctively wanted to pull away when she realized that he was holding her hand.
At that moment, Nicholas’ phone rang. He accepted the call irritably, but worry soon clouded his features.
“How did this happen? Where is she now? Alright, I’m coming over now. Make sure to protect her—don’t let anything happen to her!” he said.
Nicholas ended the call and rushed off in a hurry, forgetting to even inform Quinn.
After he left, she opened her phone and saw that something had happened to Jasmine again. However, she also spotted her own name in an inconspicuous corner.
Jasmine had actually stolen an important role from Quinn behind her back.
This role was a crucial turning point for Quinn. If things went well, it could even take her career to the next level.
But now, Jasmine actually took the liberty to forge Nicholas’ signature on the document. She had even seized the opportunity when Quinn was sick to discuss the replacement of the role with the production team.
The production team wouldn’t have bothered with Jasmine if she was doing it alone. However, she now had Nicholas backing her up.
Although he had the resources, he was always careful of his reputation.
If it was any other artist in his company, Nicholas wouldn’t have hesitated to fire them. However, Jasmine was the one behind such action this time.
In order to cover up this situation, he spared no expense in buying trending topics and used his financial power to pressure the production team into replacing Quinn with Jasmine.
However, Nicholas never took Quinn’s situation into account. If she was replaced, she would lose any chance of accessing good resources in the industry.
Her heart sank when she read the official announcement from Jasmine’s account. At the same time, criticism flooded her own comment section.
Quinn had just finished reading through the hateful comments by the time Nicholas returned.
Dark circles weighed his exhausted eyes, and his steps were even unsteady. But it was evident from his relaxed expression that he had resolved Jasmine’s crisis, resulting in his good mood.
Nicholas walked over to Quinn and linked arms with her affectionately. “Let’s head home to sleep tonight. It’s more comfortable sleeping at home than in the hospital.”
