Chapter 242: My Wife Doesn't Like Her
Eris' legs went limp, and she almost fell to the floor.She had signed her contract with the company more than three years ago.
The contract was supposed to be in force for five years, which meant that there were almost two years left for it to expire.
If her company decided to ban her from acting now, it meant that she couldn't appear on the screen for the next two years.She could not act in a movie, do product endorsements, or take part in variety shows.
For an actress, this was like being sentenced to death.
The entertainment industry was a place where anyone could be replaced in the blink of an eye.
Just like the waves in the sea, countless newcomers were lining up for their chance.
Eris knew that if she disappeared from the public eye for two years, it would be enough for everyone to forget her.
Her legs went limp again.
And this time, she collapsed to the floor.
If things went as she feared, then all her hard work and effort she had put in for the past few years would be in vain.
‘No...No way! I can't be banned from acting!’
"Tara..."
Eris crawled to Tara, grabbed the hem of her trouser, and begged, "Please don't ban me from acting.I'll find a way to prove myself innocent and make money for the company..."
Even as Eris pleaded with Tara, she couldn't swallow the fact at all.
For an entertainment company, banning an actor or actress who was quickly rising to the top was practically unheard of.
After all, it would was a huge loss to the company.
No matter how bad of a scandal a celebrity had, as long as they were still popular, they could continue to make money for the company.
In short, Eris knew that if her company banned her from acting, they would suffer a loss as well.
She just couldn't make sense of it.
Even though the press conference had ruined her reputation, it was not completely impossible for her to salvage her image.
After all, she wasn't involved in Cassie's murder, which was why the police hadn't arrested her.
'Why does Tara have to ban me from acting?’ she wondered.
"Tara..." she pleaded again.
But Tara remained silent, and just looked at Eris coldly.
In fact, ever since she had taken over the company, she had fired most of the stars working there.
As for the stars who had become famous because of Wesley's help, she had either terminated their contracts or banned them from acting.
‘Eris.."
An unreadable emotion flickered in her eyes before she stood up from her chair and squatted next to Eris.
Eris grabbed her sleeve and bitterly cried.
"Tara, I'm begging you.It wasn't easy for me to rise to the position that I'm in now.You can't ban me from acting...I'm only 22 years old.It's the best age for an actress.Two years later, I'll be almost 25.How can I start over then? Tara, please don't do this!" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
With a soft sigh, Tara reached out and touched Eris’ long hair.
"You poor girl...What a pity!"
Eris raised her head and looked at Tara with a flicker of hope.
"But...it's too late."
When Eris heard that, her heart sank.
"Tara..."
"You have to bear the consequences of your actions.Be satisfied with what you've achieved so far.You were lucky enough to become one of the most famous actresses at such a young age.You must have saved a lot of money in the past few years, right? As long as you lie low from now, that money will be enough for you to survive on for the rest of your life."
"Tara..."
"You can leave now."
"Nol"
But Tara pried Eris's arm off of her and stood up before looking down at her with disdain, as if she was looking at an ant.
"Tara!"
"Are you going to leave on your own? Or should I ask the security guards to escort you out?" Tara asked.
Eris' eyes turned red with tears.
If she was dealing with Wesley, her tears might have been enough to save her, but unfortunately, they didn't have any effect on Tara.
Unable to accept this result, Eris clenched her fists tightly.
Resentment arose in her heart, but she didn't dare to go against Tara.
‘’Tara is cruel enough to kick out her own husband of twenty years.She won't hesitate twice to kick me out"
With that thought, she gritted her teeth, slowly got up from the floor, and silently blamed Wendy for everything.
‘It's all because of that bitch that I end up like this!’ She turned around stiffly and staggered out the office.
Kate saw her out, and didn't return to Tara's office until she was sure that Eris had gone.
In the office, Tara had already returned to her seat, and was gently sipping a cup of tea.
When she saw Kate walk into the room, she put down the teacup gracefully.
"Is she gone?"
"Yes..."
Tara could see that Kate wanted to say something to her, but was hesitating.
"What is it?" she asked curtly.
Taking a deep breath, Kate plucked up her courage and said, "Tara, isn't banning her from acting a bit too cruel?"
Tara raised her eyebrows.
"Do you pity her?"
"No, no, not at all!"
Kate hurriedly waved her hands.
"I just think that even though her image has collapsed, she's not totally useless for the company.If we play our cards right, we might still be able to reduce the losses to the company." Tara snorted.
"If we keep her, the company will suffer a real loss." Kate looked at her in confusion.
Kicking her foot against the floor, Tara moved her office chair towards the French windows.
Looking down from the sixteenth floor, she found that Eris did look as small as an ant.
Narrowing her eyes, Tara thought of the phone call she had gotten from Ryan half an hour ago.
Since she was also from Ywood, she obviously knew Ryan.She had met him several times, and knew that he was a legend in the business world.
Needless to say, she had a good impression of him.
In her opinion, he was young, ruthless, steady, and reserved. Looking out the window, Tara recalled her phone conversation with him just now.
"This is Ryan."
"Mr.Oliver?"
"Yes." After answering curtly, Ryan went straight to the point.
"I want you to ban Eris from acting."
"Ban her?"
"Yes.I'll owe you a favor."
The truth was, even without contacting Eris’ company like this, Ryan could still shut her out of the entertainment industry completely.
It was just that contacting her company was the simplest and most effective way.
Tara only pondered over it for two seconds before asking, "May I know the reason?"
"My wife doesn't like her."
Hearing that, Tara was stunned.
The whole world knew that Ryan had a daughter who was the apple of his eye, but no one knew that he was married.
Moreover, it was shocking that he would go so far as to owe someone a favor, just to please his wife by banning Eris from the entertainment industry.
It was obvious that he cared about his wife very much.
Tara sighed with emotion.She had never imagined that a cold, reserved man like Ryan would dote on his wife so much.
Although she was amazed, she didn't ask any more questions.
After all, in return for banning Eris from acting, she would get a favor from Ryan.It was not the same as getting a favor from other people.
If Tara ever found herself in a tough situation, a favor from Ryan could be life-saving.
Besides, in Tara’s eyes, Eris was just another celebrity embroiled in scandals.She didn't care about her at all.
Therefore, she made the decision without hesitation.
On the other hand, Eris left in her conspicuous Porsche car.
It was only then that Tara came back to reality.
Curling her fingers, she gently tapped against the glass.
‘‘What the hell did Eris do to irritate Ryan's wife? He is such a ruthless person.He made me humiliate Eris and drive her out like this.Now that he considers Eris his enemy, her life is over”
