Chapter 533 Penalty of One Billion
"Ah!" Bluey was thrown down hard, her knees breaking open and blood instantly staining her skirt red.
"Bluey..."
Florence wanted to speak up for Bluey, but seeing her shake her head, she could only fetch disinfectant.
"Does it hurt?" Bravehart suddenly grabbed Bluey's chin, a mischievous smile on his face. "Beg me, beg me nicely, and I'll agree to provide a stand-in for you."
Bluey understood what Bravehart meant by "begging"—he wanted her to willingly offer herself to him.
From the moment she joined the crew, Bravehart's true nature was exposed. He frequently tried to take advantage of her and made her accompany him for drinks.
She had been enduring it all, not wanting to disappoint her parents, not wanting to become the laughingstock of the village, and especially not wanting to give up on her dream of becoming an actress.
But now, she couldn't hold back any longer!
It was evident that Bravehart couldn't wait any longer either.
His attitude towards her went from coaxing to tormenting.
As long as she didn't offer herself willingly, Bravehart wouldn't let her have a good day.
But throughout her life, she had never surrendered to anyone!
She clenched her teeth, stood up, and declared firmly, "I'm not filming anymore! If you want to replace me, go ahead!"
Bravehart Foster laughed. "Bluey, you're not joking, are you? Wasn't your dream to become an actress? Now you're giving up just like that?"
Bluey replied, "Becoming an actress is indeed my dream, but I will never be an actress without dignity and self-respect! Bravehart, don't think that I can't survive without you or this drama! If Bluey wants to become famous, it will only be through my own talents, never through any other means!"
"Oh? So even a rural girl can be this fierce?" Bravehart sneered, extending his hand. "You can leave if you want, but bring the penalty of one billion to go with you anytime!"
Bluey was dumbfounded. "What are you talking about? Where does this one billion penalty come from?"
"Hahaha..."
Bravehart laughed heartily. "It seems like you didn't read our contract carefully. If an artist terminates the contract halfway, they must compensate the production crew by a thousand times their salary as a penalty! Your salary is one million, so if you break the contract, you owe the crew one billion!"
"Penalty...one billion..."
Bluey couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Florence, bring me the contract. I want to see the termination clause!"
Florence had just brought the disinfectant and upon hearing this, hurriedly searched for her bag and opened the contract to examine it carefully.
Finally, in the most inconspicuous place, she found a line of tiny words: If an artist terminates the contract halfway, the penalty is a thousand times their salary.
Seeing this line, Bluey's mind went blank, and she nearly fainted.
"Bluey!" Florence quickly supported Bluey.
After a moment, Bluey angrily confronted Bravehart. "Didn't you say that if I broke the contract, I would only have to compensate ten times my salary? How did it become a thousand times now?"
"He must have deceived me!"
Florence glanced at the contract once again, pointing angrily at Bravehart, "You, Zhao, are being unfair! The penalty for breach of contract was clearly stated to be ten times the salary, and now the word 'ten' has magically turned into 'thousand.' It was you who added that stroke afterwards!"
Bravehart burst into laughter, "Bluey, it's all written in black and white. Your name was signed, and your fingerprint was pressed. What good does it do to back out now?"
Bluey argued reasonably, "But when I signed the contract, the compensation was clearly stated to be ten times, and now it has suddenly become a thousand times. It was you who tampered with the contract after I signed! This contract is invalid!"
"Is that so?" Bravehart smirked, lifting the corner of his mouth smugly. "If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Let's see who the real winner is in the end."
"If we have to, then we will! Who's afraid of who?" Florence grabbed Bluey's hand firmly. "Bluey, let's not act anymore. Let's go back and continue making short videos!"
As the two were about to leave, Bravehart suddenly blocked their way. "Even if it's ten times the penalty, it would amount to 10 million! Do you have 10 million? Hah! If you don't pay the penalty, don't even think about leaving this place!"
