Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 388

"If his company makes a move, it's impossible to solve the problem without a few million dollars. Even if we fork out the money, there's no guarantee that we'd be able to save him, not unless we find concrete evidence that this is an unscrupulous tactic employed by his company and other artists."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes, if we join hands with Peter and Mr. Hart. But we're not in contact with Mr. Hart now. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find evidence."

"Never mind Avery, I'll ask Peter to investigate first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

"Does this mean that we won't terminate the contract with Cassius?"

"We don't have many resources in the entertainment industry. Now we have an in with Cassius. I think it's good." Charlotte said as she looked to Shane sitting opposite her. He felt her gaze, raised his head, and nodded in her direction.

Charlotte let out a soft laugh. "Then let's proceed according to this plan."

"Okay." The Planning Department's staff cleared the documents away. "If you have any other requests, please let us know as soon as possible." "Sorry to trouble you."

The staff were stunned. They bowed respectfully and left.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

The Planning Department had provided them with a lot of information in the past few days. Avery and the others had also returned to Brine.

Charlotte clicked on a web page and typed in Cassius's name into the search bar. Countless headlines about him flooded the screen. Besides the fans running amok, there was very little dirt on him. Unlike other artists, his record was clean as a piece of plain paper.

He graduated from an ordinary agricultural university and specialized in all kinds of flowers. After graduating, he opened a florist shop and had a girlfriend. But in the end, they broke up after she went abroad to study.

He was shy and a bit of a loner, hence he didn't have many friends. However, he liked racing. He joined a club and was close with the members, so his interpersonal relationships were uncomplicated. It was bizarre that he chose to enter showbiz.

He did it for money. The money was initially used by his cousin to treat his father. But the cousin had a car accident and his face was disfigured. Therefore, he filled the role of his cousin. Unexpectedly, his fame rose to great heights.

Cassius's debut was extraordinary. It was as if God had written a script instructing him to do certain things at certain time that led to him becoming a popular star.

It was normal to be hated by others.

Charlotte flipped through the materials and felt that this person was not bad. At the very least, she should make an appointment with him first.

"Shane, do you know the people in the company behind Cassius?"

"Who are they?"

Shane meant that they were too inconsequential for him to be aware of their existence.

Charlotte thought, 'That's right. There are many big shots in the industry, they definitely won't open a path for other artists. Only small-timers do it.'

Therefore, she had to meet Cassius first.

Charlotte told the Planning Department to pause their work for the time being. She would personally show up to meet Cassius.

However, in the process, Emerson Corporation announced that they were terminating their contract with Cassius. Only then did Charlotte learn that the spokesperson for Emerson Corporation was Cassius, too.

The opinions on the Internet were divided into two. Even those who were not fans of Cassius felt that Emerson Corporation had gone too far. After all, Cassius's team protecting a fan was their business. That had nothing to do with Emerson Corporation's contract with Cassius.

On the other hand, some people felt that it was despicable for Cassius to remain silent after his fans forced someone to commit suicide and his team stood up to defend them. It gave Emerson Corporation grounds to terminate their contract.

As for the fans, they thought it's the company and others that pushed Cassius to the wall.

There were a lot of people in the industry who supported Cassius, especially artists who had worked with him. They agreed that Cassius was a puppet controlled by the company.

While Charlotte was waiting for a reply, she created a Weibo account. She planned to chat with the netizens when time came.

Seven or eight minutes later, Cassius informed her that he was willing to meet right away.

Charlotte immediately forwarded the address of Avery's coffee shop to Cassius.

"I'm right next door," Cassius replied.

"All right."

After replying, Charlotte left the office and made her way to the underground parking lot. The moment she drove out, she received Shane's text message telling her to be careful and to drive safely. Charlotte felt warm and fuzzy in her heart. At the same time, Jackson appeared in her mind.
