She Got A Better Man

Chapter 154

Exhausted, Cheryl dragged her feet back to the rented apartment. It was a small, simple room that could only fit a single bed. She heated the instant pasta.

Who would have thought that more than a year ago, she was still a celebrity who was very likely to make it? Just because she refused to sleep with the company's shareholders, she was completely kept by the company. She signed a ten-year contract with the company. The terins were very harsh, making her unable to do any work related to acting in these ten years except for the company's jobs.

Now, the company did not arrange any work for Cheryl. She did not have a single cent of income. The company stopped letting her live in the apartment she was provided with. She could only rent the small apartment she was living in and rely on all kinds of part-time jobs to survive.

Sometimes, Cheryl really couldn't hold on any longer. When her phone rang, she shivered in fear. It was the company calling. She didn't want to answer it, but she had no choice. She couldn't afford the sky-high penalty.

As soon as Cheryl picked up the phone, the company executive kept saying harsh and mean things. She couldn't feel anything when she took the humiliation and scolding. Cheryl had thought of committing suicide countless times. If not for her family, she might not have been able to hold on.

"How dare you offend Cindy? Listen up. You have to come to the company tomorrow to apologize to Cindy. Otherwise, you'll just be doomed!" The company executive finally stopped chattering and hung up.

Cheryl looked at the phone in her hand in a daze. Her pasta was ready. After wolfing down the pasta, she stared at the fruit knife beside her. She had bought it for self-defense.

She picked up the knife and placed it on her wrist. There was a voice in her mind, telling her that with a light cut, she could end this painful life. She had lost all the hope she used to have. She had signed a ten-year contract, but it had only been less than three years. She could not survive it.

The moment the knife cut through her skin, a clear and pleasant voice sounded in her ear. The beautiful girl, Elvira, said that Cheryl was destined to be rich and that she would become a top celebrity. Cheryl suddenly loosened her grip on the knife, and it fell. She lay back on the bed weakly and felt worn out.

Elvira returned to the company after dinner. She knew that Cheryl's matter could not be delayed. She called Cole, who said that Cheryl and Morris had not signed the contract. Their companies said that the two of them were not suitable for work now and recommended some other actors.

Elvira took the phone and found some information that she had ordered her staff to investigate. She gave it to Cole and said, "Take these to the person in charge! I want Cheryl and Morris. There's no hurry about signing Morris. Talk to Cheryl's company first."

Cole curiously looked at the information provided by Elvira. When he saw that it was actually a reality show video, his face instantly turned red and he felt very uncomfortable.

Elvira did not notice his discomfort and said, "Do it now. Send it to the person in charge of Cheryl's company and tell him that I want to sign Cheryl tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll leak this."

"Okay. I'm on it." Cole took the information and quickly left. He looked like he was fleeing.

Elvira was puzzled and didn't know what was going on with Cole

Zach called Elvira after finishing his work. Elvira picked up as she walked out. "Hello?"

Zach heard the elevator and asked, "Are you not home yet?"

"I had to work overtime today," Elvira answered truthfully.

Chapter 154

"Elvira, I miss you." Zach had only been separated from Elvira for a day, but he had already started to miss her like crazy.

Elvira smiled. "I miss you too. Focus on your work and come home as soon as possible."*

Zach replied, "Okay."

"I'll have to hang up now. The signal in the elevator is not good. Elvira hung up the phone after saying that. Zach was a little disappointed when he heard the busy tone on the phone.

He thought for a moment and immediately called the staff over to continue the meeting to solve the problem. He had to go back early because he missed Elvira too much.

When Elvira arrived outside the company, she took a taxi home. On the way, she received a call from the Gilbert family. saying that Tracy suddenly felt uncomfortable and had been sent to the hospital. Zach was on a business trip, and they did not dare to call him. They could only call Elvira.

Elvira immediately asked the driver to rush to the hospital.

When Elvira arrived at the hospital, Tracy was already out of danger. She was resting on the hospital bed. Elvira entered the ward and saw Leonard was also there. He was talking to Tracy.

"Grandma, how do you feel?" Elvira quickly walked to the bed and held Tracy's hand.

Leonard/stepped aside upon her arrival.

"Elvira, hey. Were you worried? I'm fine. It's just a trivial matter. They're just making a fuss," Tracy comforted Elvira with a smile.

"How can it be a trivial matter? Grandma, you just had heart surgery. You can't be careless. You have to come to the hospital for a small matter." Elvira held Tracy's hand tightly in worry. Her eyes were red.

"You're such a nice girl, and Zach married you. I can rest in peace even if I die now." Actually, Tracy's situation was not as easy as she said. However, she did not want Elvira to worry about her.

Elvira said, "Grandma, you're talking nonsense again. Don't say such inauspicious things."

"You and Zach should have a baby. If I get to hold my great-grandchild, I will definitely live long," Tracy teased her, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Elvira could not help but laugh and let Tracy rest well.

After Elvira accompanied Tracy for a while, Tracy insisted that she go home and rest. She said that there were servants who would take care of her and told Elvira not to worry.

Tracy asked Leonard to send Elvira back and make sure that she was safe and sound.

Elvira saw that Tracy insisted, so she could only listen to her. She planned to come back to the hospital tomorrow morning.

When Leonard and Elvira left the hospital, they saw Nina. A servant was wheeling a woman in. Nina greeted Leonard enthusiastically, "Leonard, when did you come back? Why didn't you come home?" "Nina, I just returned home. Why are you at the hospital in the middle of the night?" Leonard stopped to greet her.

Elvira also stopped and looked at the woman sitting in the wheelchair. The woman frowned and looked uncomfortable. Elvira's intuition told her that this woman was Carmen, the one Mandy said that had saved Zach's life. Elvira felt that Mandy was definitely blind. There was nothing similar between her and Carmen.,

Moreover, Carmen looked quite mature. She seemed to be over 30 years old.

Chapter 154

"Leonard, do you still remeruber Carmen? She's Carmen. She suddenly felt unwell. That's why I brought her to the hospital for a checkup." While saying this, Nina looked at Elvira. Leonard was very surprised. "Wasn't Carmen missing?"

"That's right. We just found her a while ago. Carmen isn't in good health. Zach went to hire a specialist to treat her, Nina said with a smile.

Leonard didn't say anything.
