Chapter 285 An Independent Artist

"But still, this matter should have been at least reported to us before you went to court!" Vice president Robinson no longer looked at President Smith the same way, but he was still very against this little artist's method of beating the president to his game. "If you had told us about it, we would have made him pay for his actions! There's no need to go to the court and let the media hear about this!"

If reporters finds out about the crimes of President Smith, not only the executives and shareholders will have to lay low during the court hearings, the artists and stars signed under the company will have to do the same because if they don't the heat will definitely burn them.

Ran Xueyi moved her eyes to glance at him and replied, "There's no need for me to report this to all of you. I think many of you already had an idea of what President Smith has been doing and also participated in some of his crimes."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just what it means, literally." Ran Xueyi was very calm as she continued, "There are others here who have done some things that could ruin the company. It's just that I haven't filed a case against them only because I'm willing to wait for them to come clean themselves and tell me all their misdeeds. In that way, they don't have to go to court like president Smith, but only has to face me and I will be the judge whether to keep them or not."

Ran Xueyi's words made everyone choke up. What she was doing was not merely aggressively attacking President Smith because he was also targeting her before, she was now acting as a judge, a God, that will weigh their sins, and their freedom and ruination all depends on her.

However, even if these people wanted to refute and go against her, they simply couldn't do anything to her, but obey her words.

Those who had done something and knew they did something bad, they lowered their heads in shame and helplessness. On the other hand, those who knew they didn't do anything bad to shake their conscience, looked at Ran Xueyi with renewed admiration.

…

Ran Xueyi left the conference room soon after she made her speech and went inside President Smith's office.

At that moment, President Smith followed her. His previous arrogance was shed off his skin and he now looked as if he had lost twice of his weight with his eyes sunken.

"Wait! Estelle!"

Ran Xueyi only turned around to look at him when they were inside his office.

"Is there anything you have to say, Mr. Smith?"

"Since when?"

Ran Xueyi raised her brow in response to his question.

"Since when did you start investigating me? And since when have you been watching me make a fool of myself? Was it fun to watch me fall like this?"

Ran Xueyi's eyes looked so bored right at this moment while staring at him. She tilted her head slightly and replied: "Does it matter?"

President Smith felt even weaker. That's right, it doesn't matter when she starts to go against her. It also didn't matter whether she laughed at him while watching him run amok like a fool.

In front of her, he's just a simple clown jumping around her palms.

No, it should not be only him.

Everyone around her was merely just pawns she controlled on a chessboard while she looked over from above, like a God.

In this chessboard, there really was no way for anyone inside it to beat her.

From the very beginning, she already decided what their fate will be depending on the steps or actions they take in the future.

"Is this really okay?" Adelle asked as soon as they entered the car.

"What is?"

"President Smith will surely resign and attend the court hearing. Those people will also start to look for a way to get away from their actions. I'm afraid, you'd be at the center of this storm."

Ran Xueyi's statement today shook everyone to their core. They would be so afraid of her now that she has a grip around their tails.

If they don't want to obey her, they can only look for someone else who can help them get away. And if they obeyed her, they would lose something in return.

Whatever the case, it will still make them feel defeated by her.

However, it was true that if these people chose the former, Ran Xueyi would be attacked on both sides.

"By the time that happens, I will no longer be staying in this country," stated Ran Xueyi as a matter of fact and looked outside the window. "Of course, it would be nice if they followed me back home."

Then, she slowly muttered in a voice she could only hear, "By then, I will have more toys to play with."

Adelle didn't hear her last sentence and only nodded, "Don't worry, even if they followed you, I will find a way to never let them get close to you!"

Now that she will exclusively become Ran Xueyi's employee, Adelle naturally will do everything to make sure that the fire doesn't reach Ran Xueyi.

Ran Xueyi thanked her.

That afternoon, Ran Xueyi successfully ended her contract with ORANGE Entertainment. Initially, she still had less than a month before it ends, but because of what happened that morning, the executives made a special request to terminate the contract themselves.

Though Ran Xueyi was an artist under the celebrity name 'Estelle', she was still the highest shareholder in the company. They couldn't force her to stay.

Moreover, they already heard that she wanted to end the contract by paying the remaining days that were written in the contract, but they ruthlessly refused it.

Who would dare take the money of the person who protected and cleansed the company from all dark forces that could ruin it?

Hence, starting that day, Ran Xueyi became an independent artist without a company.
