The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1626

"Ms. Summers," the actor began, his voice shaky, "I'm not sure I'm cut out for this role. Maybe it's best if I..."

Chloe turned to face the nervous actor.

A burst of mocking laughter erupted from the audience below the stage.

"Karma’s a bitch."

"Guess you're the only one who doesn't value your fans. Do you think everyone's as clueless as you?"

"This show's doomed. Smart move to bail now. No sense in ruining your future over someone like her."d2

The crowd was in an uproar, with a couple of other actors reluctantly stepping forward.

"We're sorry, Ms. Summers. We can't do this either. You should find someone else."

Chloe squinted at them, taking a moment to assess their expressions. Then she spoke, her tone icy, "Are you sure?"

Seeing a possible escape route, they eagerly nodded their heads. "Yes. Besides, you haven't even signed a contract with us yet, have you? We haven't seen the script either, so we should be able to back out anytime, right?"

They felt a wave of relief wash over them. Normally, actors confirmed for a role would sign a contract in advance to prevent any future mishaps. It was unclear if it was Chloe's first time filming, that she was unaware of the process, or if this launch was so rushed that she hadn't had a chance to sign a contract with them yet. Either way, they were grateful for this chance to reject the show. The audience was right. They had come a long way and couldn't afford to throw away their futures so carelessly.

Chloe watched them silently, her face betraying no emotion. Then she blinked slowly, "I believe this show will be successful. Are you sure you want to drop out?"

"I..."

"Think carefully before you answer. You have the liberty to change your mind, but once I make a decision, there's no turning back. If you reject me now, you will forever be blacklisted. Don't accuse me of threatening you. I have the power and you don't. I won't be magnanimous enough to let you all take advantage of me in this situation and then, in the future, offer you benefits without bearing a grudge."

The actors blushed with embarrassment, but with Chloe's current reputation, they really didn't know what would happen in the future.

Chloe's recent comments about fans had already sealed her fate. Nowadays, everyone knew that planning various marketing strategies to attract fans was common practice, but she was different. She completely offended her fans.

It was important to note that, although she wasn't a superstar, her fan following was no less than some A-list international celebrities. The reason everyone was eager to associate with her was primarily due to her enormous fan base, with her abilities coming second.

Now, she had personally destroyed her own reputation, and there was really nothing left for them to trust in her.

"If that's how you feel, we have nothing more to say."

Chloe smirked, "Do you know why I didn't sign a contract with you in advance?"
