Unfairly targeted（2）

She looked at it, as if by some unseen force, and saw only one sentence: "An unforgettable night."

As she looked, her eyes gradually grew cold.

It was indeed an unforgettable night.

She had knelt before him, sacrificing her dignity and humility, but it had not earned her any pity.

John, as hard-hearted as steel.

"Chen, you should go now. I want to get some more sleep." Though she no longer had any feelings for John, and even felt a sense of hatred towards him, he was still powerful, and she didn't dare keep Brandon Chen there for too long. She could only politely ask him to leave.

Brandon Chen comforted her a bit more before reluctantly leaving with a frown.

As he was going downstairs, he unexpectedly ran into Franklin Garcia, who had just returned home. The two had met at some business dinners before, so they were somewhat acquainted. Franklin Garcia was surprised to see him and warmly shook his hand, inviting him to stay for a few more minutes.

Brandon Chen had something to say and sat face to face with Franklin Garcia in the living room. He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Mr. Garcia, has Starlight gone too far? They have credited the creation of the stars to Sarah Ford, who has no talent or moral character. This is simply preying on the weak. Is this appropriate?"

He was clearly standing up for Jane.

Franklin Garcia's gaze flickered slightly, his face stiffening as he struggled to find the right words. After a while, he sighed, "My wife can't do anything about this either. Starlight's funding has been a bit of a problem lately, and they urgently need a popular influencer to boost the company's profits. It's unfair to Jane, but what can we do?"

Brandon Chen's hands clenched slightly at his sides.

What kind of parents were they?

They didn't care about their daughter's feelings at all, just the company's profits?

She was a single woman, divorced with a child. She had already been through so much hardship, and now her closest family members were trying to take advantage of her hard-earned popularity and reputation?

It was simply outrageous.

Franklin Garcia could see the anger on Brandon Chen's face and quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. We will compensate Jane."

Brandon Chen raised an eyebrow. "What kind of compensation?"

In truth, Franklin Garcia had just said it without really thinking about compensating Jane. Now that he was being asked by Brandon Chen, he couldn't come up with a good answer. After a moment of thought, he smoothly said, "If she marries into a high-class family in the future, we will give Starlight as a dowry to her."

Brandon Chen narrowed his eyes, seeing through his smooth words. Wasn't he basically saying that if Jane didn't get married or married someone from a lower social class, Starlight wouldn't be hers?

He gave a cold laugh and left, brushing off his sleeve.

Franklin Garcia sighed and went after Brandon Chen, but before he could talk about the investment matter, Brandon Chen was already driving away with quick steps.

There was nothing he could do but go back inside.

This scene downstairs was seen by Aunt Xia, who went upstairs to tell Jane. After hearing the news, Jane's lips curled into a cold sneer. Franklin Garcia must have known about Elizabeth's plan and purposely avoided her. He would only return home when everything was settled.

When Franklin Garcia returned, he went straight to his room to rest and didn't even spare a glance at Jane.

That day, Elizabeth and Alice Garcia also didn't come back. By nightfall, it was already a done deal that Sarah Ford would be replacing her. She even saw the press conference held by Starlight online. Just as Brandon Chen said, Sarah Ford replaced her in every aspect and even criticized her harshly.

Elizabeth spoke on behalf of Starlight, saying that they didn't know about Sarah Ford's situation before and that they would give her the opportunity to pursue her music dreams.

Underneath all the speculations and rumors, the online insults against her grew worse and worse.

She only gave it a cold glance and decided not to look again.

After resting for three days, her cold symptoms disappeared, and her cough was under control. Then, she called Mr. Green to meet up.

Mr. Green was ecstatic, thinking that she had nowhere else to turn and was coming to him for help. He readily agreed to meet her.

At nine o'clock that night, she went to meet him wearing a white strapless dress.
