Fade Chen did not relax his grip on her. In fact, he used more force. He stared icily at Rowena Song without flinching.
Prior to this, when Fade was not privy to the actress's identity, he just might have felt disgruntled and perhaps suggest to Fatty Huang not to sign her on. Now that he knew that she was Rowena Song, Fade was determined to prevent Fatty from signing a contract with her. Her disgraceful behavior was not the only reason, she had also evaded justice in regards to a hit-and-run accident involving a senior citizen.
Fade would never tolerate such
transgressions.
For a moment, Fade could not resist adding more force in his arms, and Rowena began to choke, her cheeks turning from red to purple.
The people outside heard a commotion inside and cautiously peeked through the door to check on the situation. As soon as they saw what was going on, they panicked and rushed in.
"Mr. Chen, what are you doing, let go of her!"
"Miss Song, you-"
"Stop him!
In just a short time, chaos ensued. As the staff members and the other people there tried to counsel Fade and persuade him to release her, Fade snorted coldly. He released his right hand, and threw Rowena, who was still purple in the face, to the ground.
Rowena coughed violently for a while. When she recovered, she stared at Fade in resentment, made a gesture with her hand and shouted, "He laid hands on me, beat him up as hard as you can, strike him down and kill him."
At this instant, Rowena's remaining bodyguards surrounded Fade.
The staff members and several young artists quickly tried to convince them against this, stopping them from further action.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Song, what is going on here? Why are you fighting?" After finally stopping the bodyguards from attacking, the staff members quickly tried to resolve the issue.
Rowena grunted loudly, glared at Fade, and said in a cold tone, "This fellow was not only rude and insolent to me, he even laid hands on me. I want you to make amends now regarding this matter. Otherwise I will go straight to Director Huang and ask him to deal out a severe punishment to all of you employees."
When the staff members heard her words, their faces fell,and they felt helpless. They looked at Fade, waiting for his reaction.
Fade looked emotionless. He did not try to defend himself, only saying rather coldly, "She deserved it."
When Rowena, who was feeling calmer, heard what he said, she lost her temper instantly. She lifted her right finger and pointed it directly at Fade, screaming, "Did you hear that, this fellow isn't sorry at all. He has to suffer the consequences. I will make sure he does."
The staff members turned pale, being caught between a rock and a hard place. Mr. Chen seemed to be a good friend of Director Huang, and Rowena was the star of the enterprise. Both of them were important people, and it would not be wise to offend either of them.
Just when the staff members were in a dilemma, someone came in and informed them rather frantically,"Miss Song, everyone, the signing ceremony is about to begin. Please get ready now."
Hearing this, most of the young artists immediately turned around to get ready for the ceremony.
However, Rowena lay down on the sofa and refused to get up. She folded her arms and said, "Tell Director Huang that if this matter is not resolved, I will not attend the signing ceremony."
As soon as she said these words, the staff members inside the room became anxious. They didn't expect Rowena to be so headstrong, trying to use the contract as leverage to deal with Fade.
The staff members had no choice but to go out and report the situation to Scott.
