Chapter 899 Agreeing to Compensation
"Yeah, if Alice still won't pay up, Dynamic Entertainment can totally sue her," Karen huffed.
Curtis frowned at Karen, then shot a disapproving look at Avery. He clearly wasn't happy with how she was handling things.
Curtis had no idea a dress could cost millions. The Cullen Group only made about thirty million a year. Spending that much on a dress seemed ridiculous.
Curtis didn't know Alice had told Karen to get the fanciest, most expensive dress for the gala to wow everyone. Instead of wowing them, she ended up shocking them.
This $12 million KEME gown was a classic. The skirt sparkled with real diamonds under the chandelier's light. The back had beautiful embroidery and pearl details, making it super elegant. KEME's stuff is super exclusive, rarely loaned out, even to big celebrities. Only brand ambassadors and close collaborators were granted the honor of wearing these coveted designs.
Karen had pulled all the stops, contacting the brand's PR in Vistalia, treating them to meals for a week, and sending someone to negotiate, finally getting the dress.
When she borrowed it, Karen kept telling Alice not to damage it, not even to let it catch the scent of perfume. Celebrities loved perfume, but these brand clothes couldn't have any on them, or they'd have to pay a cleaning fee.
The cleaning fee was one thing, but more importantly, borrowing clothes meant following the brand's rules. Breaking the rules could get you blacklisted.
Now, Karen was worried not just about the dress being damaged, but also about getting blacklisted by the brand.
Getting arrested in this high-end custom dress was a disaster for the brand.
Karen's words left Avery stunned.
Avery's face turned a bit grim. She hadn't expected that, with Alice still in jail, they'd have to deal with this too. She softened her tone and started negotiating kindly. "Karen, you've been with Alice since she started in the industry. You know her well. This time, Alice accidentally damaged the dress. We'll find a way to fix it. If we can't, we'll consider compensation. What do you think?"
Karen smiled. "Mrs. Cullen, you could've just said that earlier!"
Avery said, "Karen, you're Alice's manager, so we're like family. We can solve any issue together. Now that Alice is still detained, shouldn't we address the public opinion?"
Karen felt disdainful inside. "The company's PR team will handle the public opinion. We can't make rash decisions and risk a backlash. Besides, Alice isn't an actress anymore. She hasn't been back in the industry since her pregnancy. She hasn't starred in any notable works and doesn't have many fans. Her reputation is already poor. Mrs. Cullen, it's best if you don't get involved in the public opinion matter."
