Chapter 854
Mildred's expression turned cold as she cursed in a high-pitched voice, “She's working so hard because your
company made her do so! Don't assume that I don't know that an actress' peak state is before she reaches thirty.
Once she becomes thirty, she's no longer useful! Your heartless company just wants to squeeze every last bit of
benefit from her!”
Genevieve smiled before flipping the pages of the contract again. “Mrs. Henderson, Rachel signed the A grade
contract with us, so that means she retains many rights. No one will be able to force her if she doesn't want to take
on the jobs. By the way, we've retrieved some footage from Rachel's condominium. Let's take a look at them.”
With that, Genevieve gestured for Faye to turn on the projector.
Everyone turned to fix their gazes on the projection.
The reporters could see Rachel sitting in the living room of her condominium in the footage. Beside her, a woman
in officewear had her hands on her hips, angrily berating Rachel.
As the surveillance camera had an audio recording function, the people in the conference room could hear what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe woman said.
The things she said were about how Rachel was now a movie star and should not simply accept all kinds of
television shows to lower her net worth. Although the two television shows she accepted had a high budget and
would bring her quite an amount of income, the casting directors would have second thoughts when they
considered her for a role.
Furthermore, Rachel had secretly accepted the endorsement of diet supplements manufactured by a shady
company. If something were to go wrong after someone took the pill, she would have to take the blame for it as the
ambassador.
The next scene of the footage was nighttime. Rachel was making a call by the window, sounding devastated. “I've
already given you all the money I've earned all these years. I really don't have any more money. What do you mean
by I'm earning hundreds of millions because I'm a star? Do you think I'm the only one working here? Do they not
need to pay the rest of their employees? Mom, are you trying to kill me?”
After the call, Rachel fell to the ground and began bawling. What she said—“Mom”—told the others that her family
must be asking for money from her.
Before Mildred could speak, Genevieve swiftly and clearly said, “I went to consult Rachel's assistant. Apparently, she
had to send money home every month or even half a month, and every time, she would send millions. If she did not
do that, you'd call her and call her a b*stard. You'd curse at her for being an ingrate, and you even tell her that
you'll take her to court and ruin her reputation.”
“I'm her mother! It's her duty to give money to her family!” Mildred asserted. “No mother in this world would dare
to claim that she has never scolded her daughter!”
“So you admit that you've called her a b*stard and an ingrate?” Genevieve questioned.
Mildred snapped, “I did not!”
“Ms. Rachford.” Right then, Faye hurried over to hand Genevieve a document.
After Genevieve flipped through the document, her expression darkened.
She did not wish to reveal the scars of others to the world, but Mildred had come to the office to kick up a fuss.
Genevieve had no choice but to salvage her company's reputation.
Genevieve then coldly looked at Mildred and uttered, “It's because you had two daughters, so Jerome Henderson
thinks that you're useless. He curses at you all the time. When you had Rachel, Jerome cheated on you. You
became resentful and you feel that your husband would not have had an affair if you had a boy instead. Therefore,
you took out your resentment on Rachel. You've never treated Rachel well since young. If not for her aunt
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsponsoring her, she would not have been able to go to university. A scout later recruited her to become a model
and later a star. She gained a little fame, and once you found out that she had money and fame, you kept calling
her and hounding her for money. She worked so hard to earn more because you keep asking for more. You forced
her to the edge of the cliff, and that's why she killed herself!”
Even without looking at the contents of Rachel's phone—even by just watching the footage and the documents—
Genevieve could decipher why Rachel killed herself.
Although most of the media thrived on the misery of others, all of the reporters in the room still felt that Mildred
was inhumane after hearing what happened.
In fact, some reporters transferred those videos into their phones and uploaded them on the internet without even
editing them.
Mildred never thought that Genevieve would look into the matter, but she was too used to kicking up fusses and
was shameless. “I suffered so much to give birth to her, and I raised her for over twenty years. It's only right for her
to give me money! Your company is the one who drove my daughter to death! It has nothing to do with me!”
Genevieve did not continue talking to Mildred, for the police that Faye called had come.
After the police announced that Mildred was linked to a suicide case, they cuffed her and brought her away.
“Thank you for your time.” Genevieve inclined her head at the reporters before leaving.
The secretary would settle everything else.
Just as Genevieve stepped out of the conference room and before she could even let out a sigh of relief, an
unfamiliar number called.
