Not long after Maxton instructed his secretary, Natalie's phone rang.
She had been in this industry for so many years, and having a backer was normal for everyone.
Even a seemingly chaste woman like Alice indeed had a mysterious one! This was a common sight for
a long time.
That said, Natalie was well-aware of this method of breaking up.
A month ago, she had even mocked a rookie who was dumped by her wealthy backer and received a
car as the breakup gift.
But perhaps, karma was quick and real, as her time to face such a situation had already come.
She had been with Maxton for nearly five years.
And Maxton had always been good to her.
Although he did not totally give her everything she wanted, he was generous enough to meet her
needs.
To be honest, she could no longer find a better backer than Maxton.
A few years ago, she had thought of various ways to find herself a better backer.
She thought of using Maxton to find a better backer.
However, Charles and Sean had already turned her down, but it didn't stop her as she reasoned that
Zack and James were still on her list.
However, as she grew older, she no longer had these thoughts.
In the entertainment industry, teenagers were needed for it to thrive.
Sadly, Natalie had been in the industry for ten years and was already twenty-nine years old this year.
In other words, she was not young anymore and was not needed in her industry that much.
Not to mention the fact that this world would never lack girls ranging from eighteen to twenty-three
years old.
This was the reason why Natalie tried her hardest to please Maxton in the past two years while refusing
to show her face to Maxton's wife.
She thought that Maxton would support her until she was thirty-five years old.
Unexpectedly, today, Maxton's secretary called and asked her to pick between a car and a house,
ending their connection.
With that, her world stopped moving.
In an instant and unexpected time, she no longer had a backer.
"Mr.Weston, is Maxton free now? Can I talk to him?" Natalie asked, hoping to speak with him to change
his mind.
The tremor in her voice as she said that was evident.
She could not hide her fear of what would happen if she failed to change Maxton's mind.
All these years, she had been using Maxton as her backer to mock others in the industry.
So, she could not imagine how she would live without Maxton’'s help! Moreover, as she would be
turning thirty years old this year, her future in the industry was now blurry.
Not to mention that all of the subsequent films and TV dramas she had filmed had received harsh
criticism.
Although she had won the award for being the best female lead last year, it would not be possible
without Maxton's help.
Thus, she couldn't imagine herself without a backer.
Even though she had fought Alice for many years, and they had appeared to be evenly matched in the
last two years, she knew in her heart that she could not compare herself to Alice.
It was because all of her programs and movies relied only on the trolls to create hype, for the real
audience evaluation was very bad.
But Alice was different as the people who had slandered her gradually became her fans.
Alice didn't have a backer, even if she could find one.
Unlike Natalie, without Maxton, she actually had nothing but her beautiful face.
However, on the other side of the line, Weston was very heartless as he said, "I'm sorry, Miss
Cooper.But I advise you not to contact Mr.Maxton again.After all, Mr.Maxton already supported you
enough for the past five years."
"Why, Mr.Weston? Did I do something wrong?" Natalie asked as she tried to recall her previous deeds.
Weston had no idea what exactly Natalie had done wrong.
What was clear to him was that she was using Maxton as her stepping stone.
But he guessed it was not the reason.As he could not think of any other answer, he had just reasoned
what Katherine had said that morning.
"Miss Cooper, you have offended someone who should not have been offended.By that, Mr.Maxton can
no longer protect you.So, from now on, take care of yourself!"
After that, Natalie heard an end-call tone.
Weston really hung up the phone.
Upon hearing that bad news, her hands trembled violently, causing her phone to fall directly to the
ground.
"But...when did I offend someone I shouldn't have?!" she hysterically yelled, seemingly unable to recall
when she had done so.
It was true that she had been abusing her power for years, but she was also cautious about who she
bullied.
She knew what kind of trouble Maxton didn't want and what kind of trouble he could handle for her.
No matter how stupid Natalie was, she had been a part of the industry for ten years.
So, how could she not know who to oppress and not to oppress? Whatever happened, she knew she
couldn't offend someone she shouldn't! In contrast to Natalie, Katherine was in a very good mood.
In just three hours, Celine had already completed her task and sent it to her boss.
