Chapter 663 Karen's Sincerity (2)
It was a video.
Natalie, who knew the Cullen Villa like the back of her hand, instantly recognized the underground parking lot.
She could see a black BMW, with a wheelchair parked outside.
The car was rocking like crazy, no doubt about what was going down inside.
Right then, Karen handed over a pair of headphones.
Natalie popped them on. The moans and groans came through faintlyt, but cranking up the volume made them crystal clear.
The video skipped ahead a few seconds. Alice climbed out of the car and plopped into the wheelchair. The camera caught Alice's face and the dude inside the car—Carlos.
Karen took back the headphones and said to Natalie, "Make me the VP of Dynamic Entertainment, and this video is yours. Alice is hooking up with the Howard family's butler's son. Think the Howards will still want her? And if Adrian sees this, you think he'll still marry her?"
Karen didn't dare to get too cozy with Alice because of this ticking time bomb.
Just seeing how Alice and Carlos were so chill meeting up, Karen knew others might catch on, too. Once it got out, Alice would be toast.
And if Karen was tied to Alice, she'd go down with her.
After mulling it over, Natalie seemed like a safer bet.
Natalie was floored that Karen had such a bomb up her sleeve.
Natalie said, "I can try to help you, but no promises. Hang on to that video. Whether you become VP is up to you."
Karen felt a weight lift off her shoulders hearing that.
If Natalie had guaranteed the VP spot, Karen would've been more on edge.
Karen said, "Natalie, I'm way more reliable than Mindy."
"To show I'm serious, I've got a killer new gig for you, one of the top ten luxury watch brands worldwide. I'm tight with the higher-ups. If you're down, you can be the brand ambassador." This gig was supposed to be Alice's big comeback, but Karen handed it to Natalie instead.
"Alright, I'll give it my best shot," Natalie agreed.
And then she asked, "Who's under the microscope at Dynamic Entertainment Media this year?" There had to be some dirt by now.
Karen's face darkened, and she whispered to Natalie, "Not long ago, Finnian got busted for embezzling funds, but Mr. Abernathy swept it under the rug. No clue if it'll resurface, but it's a ticking time bomb."
"Herman's harassment of female entertainers, doesn't Mr. Abernathy know about it?" Natalie thought Herman's sleaziness was way worse than Finnian's sticky fingers.
All in all, the higher-ups were all dirty.
Karen said, "Of course he knows. But since it hasn't blown up yet, he looks the other way. No one wants to be the whistleblower. There's no squeaky clean in this biz. Mr. Abernathy and Herman have a lot of shady deals."
Karen was being all subtle, but Natalie got it. Basically, Herman was pimping women to Lucas.
Karen stood up. "I've laid it all out, so I won't keep you from your shoot. I know we've got our differences, but if I become VP, I won't just back Alice and leave you hanging. I'll hook you up with the resources you need."
