CHAPTER 388 UNCOVERING THE TRUTH

Chapter 388 Uncovering the Truth

They knew that the moment the recording was fetched, the two of them were done for.

If it'd just been Sally, fine, she could just say that she misremembered and get away with an apology.

But Sam had taken her side back then. As the choreographer, he'd designed the moves himself. He

couldn't say that he of all people had forgotten.

Thinking of that, Sam glared at Sally.

It was all this woman's fault. She'd wanted to make an impression in front of Max and step on Laura

while she was at it, and she'd come up with that plan on the spot.

Great, she'd made an impression, so what now?

Sally was in a bit of a panic too.

If Max caught wind that she was deliberately framing Laura, forget the costar position, she might not

even keep her side character role.

At that moment, Sam suddenly backed up.

Someone immediately called, "Where are you going, Sam?"

Sam laughed it off. "Stomachache. Heading to the bathroom."

"Oh, then hurry up. The recording will be here soon. Head back as soon as you're done."

"Sure, all right."

Sam left hastily.

Laura looked at the direction he'd gone and smiled coldly.

...

Two minutes later, a corner from the recording room.

Sam hurriedly blocked off the path of an assistant who'd just got the recording tapes.

"Give me the tapes."

"Sam, I..."

"Do you want to keep staying on set from now on? You know full well how thick my resume is. Name

one director who doesn't respect me, eh? If you want to keep surviving in this circle, you'd better not

make enemies of me, got it?"

The assistant jolted, put on the spot.

At that moment, a cool voice rang out.

"Sam, were you just going to the toilet as an excuse and trying to get rid of the evidence through

threats?"

Sam trembled.

Turning around, he saw Laura and Max and Leroy and the others standing there.

His face changed.

Leroy was already furious at the scene.

He pointed at Sam and growled, "I can't believe you'd do this, Sam! Back there, Laura said you might

be going to get the recording, and I even stood up for you, but you really... damn it! How could you!"

Leroy's relationship with Sam had always been fine. He didn't much agree with the man's private life,

but they were men. Men made friends on just how stand-up they were with each other, and never

considered private life as a factor.

Then this had happened.

Sam was a bit pale, but even if he wanted to make excuses, there were none left.

Behind the crowd, Sally's face was ashen.

Laura turned to look at Leroy, asking, "Does that prove my innocence, director?"

Leroy was panting with rage as he nodded.

"It wasn't your fault. Don't worry, I'll stand up for you over today."

That wasn't just said for her, but for Max.

Max's face was cold as he looked at the two perpetrators as if he was looking down on rubbish.

"From now on, I don't want to see these two anywhere near the business."

With that, he turned to leave.

Sam and Sally both went pale.

That meant... they were getting kicked out of the whole entertainment industry! Were they going to be

boycotted?

Sally hurriedly explained, "Mr. Nixon, listen to me. I-I didn't mean to frame Laura. It's all Sam's fault, he

forced me..."

Before Max could say anything, Sam's face went red with fury.

"What do you mean by that, Sally? With the truth in the open, you're trying to push it all on me? You

were the one who was jealous of how pretty she was and the amount of resources she had, to go this Têxt © .

far to take it for yourself. You even seduced me and promised me a night in bed today. Why else would

I help you with something this low-down!"

At that, everyone was taken aback.

Everyone knew that this sort of deal wasn't rare in the business, but no one had really seen people talk

about it in the open like this.

Having been revealed in her entirety, Sally was left in an awkward state.

Max, though, had his interest piqued as he looked at Sam with a half-smile.

"Oh? She said she'd spend the night with you?"

"Yes."

Sam pleaded. "I was just seduced for a moment, Mr. Nixon. That's why I lied for her. Please give me a

chance. I trained martial arts for over a decade. If I can't be a choreographer, my life is completely over,

and my training would have been for nothing."

Hearing that, Leroy felt a bit of pity.

But considering what had just happened for him to end up like this, he deserved whatever he got

coming to him!

He looked up at Max.

Max was sneering coldly. "You're right. If your skills went to waste, it would be a shame. How about

this? I know a boxing ring that's been missing a fighter recently. If you can last three days in there, I'll

let you off. How about that?"

With that, he smiled, as if he was really trying to give him a way out.

Hearing that, Sam's eyes widened with fear.

Other people didn't know what those underground rings were about, but how would someone like him

be unaware?

Forget his future, he couldn't be sure if he could come back out alive if he went there!

His lips trembled as he whimpered, "Mr. Nixon, I can't go to a place like that. Please, have mercy and

let me go. I won't be a martial arts choreographer anymore, just please don't sent me there."

Max couldn't be bothered to listen to him any longer.

"Barnes."

"Here, sir."

"Bring him over there."

"Yes, sir."

Barnes ended up taking Sam away anyway.

Everyone in the cast gaped at each other.

Sally was already too terrified to speak. She was afraid that Max would give her the same treatment

he'd given Sam.

Thankfully, she was a woman, and Max didn't do anything with her. But she could forget staying in the

entertainment industry. As for the rest, Max didn't care to split hairs over a woman.

But even an exile from the entertainment industry was heavy punishment for Sally.

After all, she was twenty-eight this year. It had taken so much money and so much effort for her to

climb to this position today.

Since she'd made her debut at eighteen, it had been a full decade. She couldn't do anything else.

Now, with Max chasing her out of the industry, her future had been severed.

That was all thanks to Laura!

With that, she shot Laura a cold glance.

If she wanted to make enemies of her, she wouldn't let her off easy.

If she couldn't stay in the entertainment business anymore, then neither could Laura survive as well!
