"Mason, Mason, you’re back." Fiona Grantham’s mouth pulled into an awkward smile.
She never expected that Mason Bennett would return at this moment.
However, Mason Bennett acted as if he hadn’t heard her, walking straight to Bella Green and sitting directly next to her.
The cold expression on his face instantly melted away like ice in the warm sun as he raised his hand to gently touch Bella Green’s small head, his voice soft.
Bella Green heard this, her eyes slightly lifting, glancing at Fiona Grantham, then yawning.
"No, I was woken up."
This made Mason Bennett’s originally softened face darken again, as he turned his head to Sophia Latham, his voice as cold as frost.
"Didn’t I say not to disturb his sleep?"
Sophia Latham looked aggrieved, "Miss Gu barged in, I... I couldn’t stop her, I’m sorry, Mr. Bennett."
"Oh dear, you’ve almost scared the pretty lady to tears. Look, how could such a delicate girl possibly stop a diva like Miss Gu?"
Fiona Grantham’s lips trembled with anger when she heard this. She’s delicate—does that make her a tigress?
Hearing Bella Green call her a pretty lady again, Mason Bennett furrowed his brows, then waved for Sophia Latham to leave.
"You leave too." This was directed at Fiona Grantham.
Hearing the man’s unmerciful words, Fiona Grantham’s eyes immediately reddened.
He could be so kind and gentle to Bella Green, but must he really treat her this way?
Being treated in front of Bella Green, naturally, her face couldn’t hide it, but remembering there was a more important matter today, she had to stay and endure.
"Mason, I’m here today on official business. Can you have her leave first?"
Bella Green raised an eyebrow, looking at Fiona Grantham with a half-smile, then at Mason Bennett, smiling mischievously, waiting for his response.
The look in Bella’s eyes seemed so endearing to Mason Bennett that he couldn’t help but smile, lovingly stroking her fluffy head, then turning to Fiona Grantham with a cold voice.
"Bella doesn’t need to leave. There’s nothing he can’t hear."
Fiona Grantham’s face grew uglier, and after a long silence, she didn’t speak.
"If you won’t talk, then leave." Mason Bennett roared.
Fiona Grantham was yelled at, her eyes turned red, mist forming in her eyes as she bit her lip and spoke.
"Mason, why has the company stopped all my notices? Even my Asia Zone endorsement for V has been withdrawn. They specifically wanted me as the endorser, and breaking the contract involves a significant penalty."
Indeed, her reason for coming to Mason Bennett today was that all her well-packed schedules after returning to the country had been canceled by the company.
And in the company, the only one with the authority to handle her matters was Mason Bennett!
"Stourford Entertainment will handle the penalty fees. You don’t need to worry." Mason Bennett said coldly.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" Fiona Grantham couldn’t help but question sharply.
As an artist, even as a diva, prolonged lack of exposure will drastically lower popularity.
Even being away from the public eye for six months could mean being replaced by newcomers.
This industry is like that; changes happen in the blink of an eye.
"Why, don’t you know yourself?"
The man on the couch suddenly looked up, and compared to the early spring warmth when looking at Bella Green, his gaze towards Fiona Grantham was like the cold of mid-winter.
Fiona Grantham’s body stiffened sharply, eyes wide in disbelief, looking at him, then looking at Bella Green.
So, the reason for her being banned was because of...
