She Got A Better Man

Chapter 155

Leonard subconsciously glanced at Elvira, who was expressionless as she said, "I'll take a taxi. I won't hold you guys up."

"That's not necessary. Grandma asked me to send you home, so must send you home safely. Nina, Carmen, I'll take my leave first. Let's talk again when we can." Leonard said goodbye to Nina and Carmen and left with Elvira.

Nina turned around and looked at Elvira's back. A trace of disdain appeared in her eyes as she thought, 'So what if she married Zach? She'll get a divorce and get lost sooner or later!'

"You'll accompany Carmen to the doctor. I'm going home to sleep," Nina said and left.

Seeing this, the servants wheeled Carmen toward the doctor's office. Carmen turned around and looked at the entrance of the hospital. When she turned back, she could not help but cough.

On the way to Elvira's place, Leonard drove seriously while Elvira was thinking about her own matters. The two of them barely communicated.

When they passed an intersection, Leonard suddenly sped up. Elvira, who was thinking about something, was shocked. She quickly grabbed the handle and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do. I have to send you home right away. Sit tight!" With that, Leonard accelerated again. Elvira suspected that he had hit the gas to its limit.

"If you're busy, stop the car and let me out. I cherish my life a lot. I don't want to die with you!" Elvira was really frightened by his reckless driving speed.

Leonard did not listen to her at all. He looked nervously at a car in the rearview mirror. If Elvira turned around, she would see another car chasing after Leonard's car at a high speed.

Seeing the car still on their tail, Leonard suddenly jerked the wheel at the next intersection, sending his car skidding sideways. Elvira screamed, gripping the door in panic. The pursuers overshot the turn, barreling several hundred feet ahead before slamming on the brakes. By the time they turned around. Leonard had already disappeared in the opposite direction.

Elvira finally knew that they were being chased by another car. She was so frightened that her face turned ashen. She turned around and wanted to say something to Leonard. Looking at his serious and nervous expression, she did not say anything in the end. When they reached an intersection, Leonard asked Elvira to get out of the car and take a taxi. He then left quickly.

Elvira was speechless and didn't know what was going on. Her legs were so limp that she could barely stand. She stood by the roadside and held the lamp pole for a while before taking a taxi home,

After returning home, she took a shower and prepared to sleep. Her mind was filled with the scene of her and Leonard being chased. They were in a dangerous pursuit just now.

Elvira wondered who Leonard had offended. Although she knew that she should not meddle in his business, Elvira could not help but send him a message: [Are you alright?]

No matter what, Leonard was Tracy's grandson. Elvira thought that she should show concern to him for Tracy's sake.

Leonard quickly replied: [I'm safe. Don't worry.]

Seeing this, Elvira did not care anymore. She threw down her phone and went to sleep.

Chapter 153

The next day, Cheryl returned to the company. Her face was ashen with dark circles under her eyes. She looked haggard as if she had a terminal illness

The way she looked caused everyone to look at her and start whispering

Cheryl knew that Cindy would not let her off. She did not know what kind of trouble the would face today. She had already planned that if the company humiliated her and insulted her again, she would jump down from the company building Cheryl was brought into the general manager's office by the secretary. After she entered, her nerves immediately tensed up. She had too many terrifying memories in that place where she suffered humiliation and beatings. The executives of her company had no morality in them and would do anything to her.

Once, Cheryl was almost stripped naked. She threatened them by claiming that she would commit suicide to scare them

away.

When she entered the office, Cheryl saw that the people inside almost fell down. Not only was the general manager there, but Cindy was also there Even the director who forced Cheryl to sleep with him was there. Cheryl knew that she would not be able to escape today. She looked at the window at the side and thought that she should jump out in a while to end this painful life.

Just as Cheryl was about to break down, the director looked at Cindy with a darkened expression.

Cindy stood up reluctantly and walked toward Cheryl. She knelt in front of her with a thud.

Cheryl was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She took a few steps back and only stopped when she hit the door. She widened her eyes in horror and looked at Cindy, who suddenly knelt in front of her. "Cheryl, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept finding trouble with you. I apologize to you. Please forgive me." Cindy kept apologizing to Cheryl.

"What... what tricks are you trying to play now? Listen to me, even if I die, I will not agree to your request!" Cheryl gritted her teeth as she trembled.

"No, we don't have any requests. We're sorry about what we did to you. We've let you down. I've got a new movie job for you. The investor wants you to be the female lead, and it's a big-budget movie. Come and check it." The general manager took out the contract and script with a flattering expression.

Cheryl was dumbfounded. She really did not know what they were trying to do, but she thought that at worst, she would die. She was not even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of reading the script and contract?

Cheryl took the script and contract and leaned against the door to read them.

It was a very formal contract. The conditions were good, and the remuneration was considered high. Cheryl quickly looked at the script, afraid that there would be some plots where she needed to undress herself. After reading the script, she found that the content was also very formal. It was a historical movie in ancient costumes. This way, she wouldn't have to wear revealing clothes.

"Do you believe me now? Come here. Let's talk about this. The general manager gestured to Cheryl.

Cheryl looked vigilantly at the director beside her. She was determined not to move. The director stood up with an awkward expression on his face. He apologized to Cheryl awkwardly, "Cheryl, what happened in the past stays in the past. Just focus on filming this movie. After it's done, the company will terminate the contract with you. The penalty for breach of contract will be charged according to the market price."

Cheryl was speechless.

Chapter 153

After signing the contract and safely leaving the company, Cheryl finally dared to take a deep breath. She still felt like she was in a dream. She reached out and pinched her arm, causing her to gasp in pain. She couldn't believe that it was not a dream.

She didn't expect to be able to escape her crisis.

Cheryl burst into tears. No one knew how she had survived for more than a year. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was better off dead. Those people in her company were all monsters.

A car stopped in front of Cheryl. The door openc

and Cole got out.

Cole said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Porez. My name is Cole Bennett. My boss asked me to sign with you to film this drama. I'll arrange for your work from now on."

Cheryl was a bit confused. Cole took out his business card and showed it to her. Cheryl looked at the name of the company on the business card. It was indeed the same company that she had signed the contract with. "Why did you sign me? Also, how did you make my company agree to let me film?" Cheryl was really puzzled.
