Chapter 68 A Sharp Pain Came All Over Him
Stella? Maggie froze.
What did this matter have to do with Stella?
Seeing his sister's stunned look, he somehow felt a little annoyed in his heart. He restrained himself
and explained, "You robbed her of the role that originally belonged to her, and she took revenge."
"Re...really?" Maggie still didn't believe it.
If she weren't his sister, he wouldn't have talked to her. He had zero tolerance for idiots.
"I've given you all the evidence." Kendrick said in a cold voice, "Judge yourself."
Maggie looked at the documents in her hands, which contained clear and detailed account transaction
records as well as screenshots of the video of Stella meeting the man who followed her, and every
frame was very clear.
Such hard evidence was right in front of her. Maggie had no choice but to believe it.
She felt angry at being betrayed. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've treated her as a good friend. How
dare she treat me like this?"
Thinking of this, Maggie raised her head and asked, "Ken, how did you deal with those two?"
She wanted to learn from it.
He had just broken the right hand of the man holding a stick and the legs of the other man driving.
Kendrick cleared his throat lightly, and said, "I filed a lawsuit against them."
Maggie nodded, and then shook her head, "I don't want to call the police."
She said with a sad face, "If I call the police, our parents and Grandpa won't let me continue to work in
the entertainment industry."
Kendrick blankly typed out a document and pushed it in front of her.
It was a summary of the data of the film and television dramas she had acted in since entering the
circle. It had been sorted out by Nigel using his professional expertise overnight.
Maggie froze when she saw it. It was so detailed.
"You have been in the industry for a year and a half. The investment in you is nearly 200 million, and
the income is less than 10 million." Kendrick stated the facts coldly, "Unless they want to launder
money, no one will continue to invest in you. Besides, read online reviews about yourself. Any search
terms related to you are negative."
It had even reached its peak recently.
"The ratings of the new drama you just appeared in is 0.218, and it's the overall data of the three TV
platforms that aired the drama at the same time." Kendrick said word by word without showing his
sister any mercy, "Whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, none of the dramas you
participated in have seen a rating higher than 6." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Hearing his words, Maggie blushed.
He had never been so harsh on her. He had encouraged and helped her secretly at most times.
This time, he was very angry.
Maggie forced a smile, "But this time, everyone said that I have improved a lot, and many people
praised my acting skills. Ken, my acting skills are okay."
It was just that the script was so bad.
Kendrick pursed his lips tightly, and his expression didn't soften at all.
"Whether your acting skills are good or not, there could be different opinions." Kendrick said coldly, "I'm
just telling you the established data."
"I will work harder." Maggie innocently assured, "Ken, believe me, and you have always supported me."
Kendrick turned his face away and fell silent.
After a while, he raised his face and said, "Ramsey Media is short of staff. Are you interested?"
Maggie froze completely. She finally understood what Ken meant. He wanted her to leave the
entertainment circle.
Kendrick was a person with strong willpower. Once he had an idea, he would see it through
aggressively.
Even if Maggie refused now, she would eventually be forced to withdraw from the circle due to various
force majeure factors.
She didn't understand. Why did Ken, who had always supported her, suddenly change his mind?
Ken had always been gentle with her.
When she was a child and couldn't do a math problem, Brett had said angrily, "Maggie, I'm going to
wring your head off and put it in the washing machine to dry to see if there is something wrong with
your head.
"You're not my sister. My sister can't be so stupid.
"You despise me for not being able to teach you. But why don't you despise yourself for not being able
to figure it out?"
But Ken had always taught her patiently.
Later, she came first in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Film and Television
Academy.
Even when her family objected, Ken said that they should let Maggie choose what she liked, and come
back if she didn't like it. The Ramsey family could afford a second chance.
"I..." As soon as Maggie tried to say something, she met his cold eyes.
She almost burst into tears.
No one could change Kendrick's decision. It would be no use begging him.
"I will think about it." Maggie walked out of the office in a daze.
She bit her lips and took out her phone, feeling a little dazed.
Flipping through the address book on her phone with her fingers, she finally stopped when her eyes fell
on Nat's name.
Without hesitation, Maggie called her.
--
Natalie just finished reading the financial newsletter. She sold her stocks in an orderly manner
according to the market trend and economic situation.
She was getting ready to take a good look at the drama where Maggie was scolded miserably. She
was planning to refute those haters.
But Maggie called her. What? Did they have a mutual affinity?
Natalie answered the phone, "Cutie, what's the matter?"
Maggie was out of breath from crying, and it took her a full three minutes to explain the matter clearly.
His brother wanted her to retire from the circle.
Natalie froze. Retire? If Maggie retired from the circle, how would the original storyline continue?
But this was not a question that should be considered because, with her arrival, the storyline had
changed a lot.
"I... I don't know what to do, so I just... called you." Maggie was extremely sad, "No...no one can
change Ken's decision. Nat, can...can you help me?"
Natalie pouted and frowned. She didn't quite understand, "Why did your brother say that suddenly?"
"I... I don't know. He called me over today and said he had something to talk to me about. Then he
showed me a lot of bad rating data. I think he meant that I should retire from the circle. I... I didn't
expect this to happen."
"Oh, I see." Natalie sighed in her heart, and softly comforted, "Don't cry. I will talk to your brother."
"Well...thank you." Natalie hung up the phone.
She looked serious.
Where the hell was the plot going? How could Kendrick have the idea of letting his sister quit the
circle? Hadn't he always supported his sister?
Natalie sighed again.
She picked up her phone and glanced at her husband's itinerary. From 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., he would
be conducting daily training in the rehabilitation hall.
When Natalie arrived, the doctor just gave Kendrick an injection.
It was a hormone that could promote muscle growth and reduce muscle loss.
But at the same time, there would be a rejection reaction, and the body would produce severe pain
from the nerves to the bones.
Even anesthesia couldn't relieve the pain.
Moreover, Kendrick's body was not as sensitive and flexible as ordinary people's. Anesthetics could
damage his nerve cells.
So he had always refused anesthesia injections.
Cold sweat dripped from his head, and sharp pain from his body came all over his limbs. He tightly
grasped the cushion under his body and clenched his fists.
He leaned there feebly.
His handsome face was pale, and his bangs were soaked in sweat and fell on his forehead.
His clothes were soaked in sweat too.
