CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 90

Annetta put the contract on the table and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cruz. We can't sign this contract."

Weston angrily slammed his cup of tea on the table and said, "Ms. White,  Leo is lucky to be favoured by Mr. Ross. Do you know how many other people want this role? Now you tell me that you can't sign the contract? Why come for the audition if you are not planning to sign the contract? Do you know how precious my time is? I can't afford to waste it on the likes of you!"

Annetta was not afraid at all. Instead, she calmly said, "Mr. Cruz, my time is precious too. You know exactly why we will not sign this contract."

"Plus," Annetta emphasized before Weston could speak, "Leo got this role out because of his capabilities, not because of luck. Since so many other people are vying for the role, you may go and look for them instead. We will leave."

Annetta was about to leave with Leo after saying this.

Weston's expression changed and he rushed over to stop them.

Weston had deliberately made the contract much harsher to make things difficult for Annetta. Not only did the artist need to stay with the production crew 24 hours a day, but he could not even ask for leave if he was sick or encountered an accident. There was even a hidden condition stating that the actor needed to divide his pay equally with the assistant director, written as 'The actor needs to divide his pay equally with the production crew who takes care of him.'

Weston stood in front of them and suddenly clapped his hands. Immediately, two bodyguards appeared in the office and locked the door.

Weston sneered, "Ms White, I strongly advise you to sign this contract obediently. Don't return our kindness with an offence."

The two bodyguards behind Weston were big, buff, and looked taller than two Annettas put together. However, Annetta stood in front of them, unafraid, daring them to try and make a move.

She was the bravest girl Leo had ever seen.

He could let her take the lead when discussing contract matters. But no matter how bold she was, but when a group of men were ready to use violence, he had to step up. He stood in front of her despite his inability to fight.

Annetta was about to force Weston to back down when she felt herself being pulled to the back, and a tall figure appeared in front of her.

She fixed her gaze on Leo. His side profile was attractive and elegant. His aura was incredible, and his gaze was as deep as the ocean. However, he was too handsome, gentle, and elegant, and he was no threat to the two bodyguards.

Obviously, Weston didn't take him seriously and waved to the two bodyguards behind him.

He ordered, "Teach these two people a good lesson. Remember, don't hit the face, and don't leave obvious wounds on his skin and flesh. After all, he is the one that Mr. Ross likes!"

The two bodyguards immediately approached Leo and Annetta after receiving the order. Weston had been unequivocal. If he didn't want the wounds to be visible, it meant the bodyguards would injure them internally instead.

Judging from Weston's indifferent expression, it was likely that he had done such things many times before.

Annetta took advantage of Leo's blocking by secretly taking out her phone and setting it to video recording mode. She hid the phone behind his back. Leo blocked the two bodyguards as they charged towards them, but he was a scholar, not a fighter, so he lacked any fighting ability.

He threw several punches at the two men with all his strength and missed each time. The two bodyguards were as swift as monkeys. After playing with him for a while, they suddenly grabbed his arms and punched his stomach hard.

Annetta could not stop them. Time seemed to have frozen in that instant. Leo's entire body stiffened, then he slowly knelt on the ground.
