Chapter 260: Chapter 260

When Linda and Ryan heard this, their heads were buzzing with confusion.

They looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes full of horror.

Weren't their encounters just a coincidence?

Could it be that Chase arranged all of them?

Ryan was reminded of the first time he ran into Linda.

At that time, he was beaten up badly by Kage's guy, Klutz. Fortunately, they spared Ryan's life and threw him out of the car.

Ryan thought that Chase had asked them to leave him at the company's underground car park in order to embarrass him in front of the other staff members.

It was at that time that he met Lin Meanwhile, Linda was thinking about the picture she took of Chase hugging'Elena.

Chase must have led her on to take that picture on purpose!

He had set up a trap nicely for her to jump in.

She was then fired back then and needless to say, she was infuriated.

Now that she thought about it, Chase must have had something to do with her dismissal!

After she was fired, she met Ryan in the underground car park He was barely alive at that time.

That was how the two of them teamed up.

Ryan and Linda felt their hair stand on end!

It was their own fault for being ignorant. They thought they'd be invincible should they work together.

Never did they once pause to think that Chase could've been the mastermind behind all of it.

Everything that happened was but a bait Chase set up so the three of them would band together.

By doing this, he vanquished the three of them in one hit!

Now that the three of them were on the same boat, Chase moved on to take down them together!

What a cruel person he was!

Lucas was so shocked that he felt his legs go wobble.

He wondered as to how there could be someone with such wickedness!

Every step he had taken was actually under Chase's manipulation!

Lucas had done several things in the past few weeks.

The first thing he did was to encourage the shareholders to sell their shares. They ended up losing tons and tons of money!

The second thing was to send out a whole bunch of invitations to the movie premiere secretly, just to tarnish Lumanica Medins reputation.

However, little did he know that these invitations would bring Robert and Christopher knocking on their doors!

The third thing was to embezzle hundreds of millions of yuan from the company.

This money was what led to their downfall

Everything he did was within Chase's grand scheme!

Lucas looked at Chase and let out a chuckle, his eyes void of emotions. Tve lost. I've lost this game."

Linda ran up to Chase and fell to her knees before him while crying hysterically. "Director Lu, It was wrong of me to betray you! Will you spare this miserable life of mine, please? I don't want to go to jail!"

Ryan also rushed over and knelt down beside Linda. "Director Lu, I have failed you. Can you forgive me this once?

Lucas looked at these two people and shook his head.

They expected Chase to spare the three of them?

Like hell he would!

Clearly his intentions were to get rid of them all at once!

Lucas began to wink frantically at the shareholders.

After all, most of these people were on his side.

In return, they looked back at him and pouted.

Their expressions were telling Lucas that he should not bring them into this mess.

At that moment, they knew very well whoever pleaded on Lucas's behalf basically had a death wish.

"Take them away, Chase ordered.

Olivia summoned a few security guards to bring the three of them away.

Chase looked around the entire conference room; everyone was silent.

Chase's actions were clearly a warning to the rest of them.

They have lost their shares; they didn't have any rights to argue with Chase.

Their happy days were long gone.

From that day on, they were all beneath Chase. They had to do anything he said.

"Chase, now we have to discuss our development plans for the future, Olivia finally recovered from the shock and reminded Chase.

Chase nodded, rubbed his temples, and closed his eyes. "Do you have any suggestions?"

Olivia sorted out her thoughts and answered, "The release of our latest movie gave us a bad name. I'm afraid we won't be able to produce any more movies in the future."

Chase replied in an unbothered tone, "That's fine, we're not professionals in that anyway."

Olivia resisted flashing him a disgruntled look. She couldn't help thinking how heartless Chase was. How could he say something like this so casually as if it was nothing?

"So our focus should still be on the training of actors and celebrities." Olivia continued after censuring him in her head.

Chase acknowledged her opinion, "Yes, that's correct."

"As for the next step, does anyone have any suggestions? In the end, Olivia posed the question to the rest in the room. The rest of them looked at one another.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "Truth be told, on the surface, it may look like we've won triumphantly, but on the contrary, we've actually suffered a great loss!"

Someone else immediately chimed in agreement, "Yeah, Elena's reputation cannot recover fast, and we have sold off ten actors to another company. Plus, all the actors in the company are panicking. If this goes on, sooner or later, we'll lose our actors and resources.

After Olivia heard this, she nodded and sighed. "It's true that our company has suffered a lot from what happened this time.

However, we needed to go through this in order to weed out all these timebombs in our company. If this hadn't happened, our company would never be its best. The loss was inevitable."

After Olivia finished, she flashed a dubious glare at Chase, She realized something very startling.

When she first met Chase, she had warned him that the internal affairs of the company were very complicated and advised him to be careful.

After going through all this chaos, the most toxic person in this company, Lucas had been gotten rid of!

Had this been part of Chase's plans?

Chase noticed Olivia's unusual gaze. He smiled. "Go on."

Olivia swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, afraid to look at Chase in the eye.

She was scared that he could see right through her, then she'd become one of his pawns to play with.

Finally, she muttered her courage to say, "At present, we

urgently need an actor to become the face of our company to keep everything in balance! That way the other actors will be reassured, and they'll need to give the public a better impression of our company. We can't afford to delay this."

Chase nodded. I agree."

"There's no doubt that Elena would be the ideal candidate, however, I don't think she's up for it this time. So, I need everybody to think of a celebrity from our company that's somewhat well-known and capable of carrying this responsibility, Olivia implored.

Elena, who was sitting at a corner, remained silent.

Everyone went into a discussion. In the end, they decided that no one could handle this responsibility except Elena.

Olivia sighed, feeling slightly agitated.

Naturally, her eyes shifted toward Chase, only to see that his expression was plastered with fearlessness.

The 'l-have-everything-under-control look in his eyes was terrifying.

Olivia couldn't help but hiss, "Did you have someone in mind from the start?" Chase smiled and nodded. "Yes, you asked everyone for their opinion, but you didn't ask for mine. I have already chosen someone.

Olivia was just about to ask who it was before suddenly, a gentle and bright voice rang out from the door.

"The face of the company? Sure, why not me?"
