Chapter 92 As Long As You Like It
Kaycey was stunned for a second.
“She is Angle’s talent director,” a staff member who was familiar with Gwendolyn explained.
“So, she’s just a director, is she? I thought Angle’s boss is here,” said Kaycey as he and his group of
‘people burst into laughter.
Without showing any signs of fear, Gwendolyn approached Joaquin to see if he was injured.
Fortunately, although this little brat lost his fight today, he didn’t simply get beaten up by them.
After making sure Joaquin was all right, Gwendolyn walked straight to the chair and sat down.
nonchalantly as though there was no one else around.
She was truly exhausted to the point that so long as she could sit down to negotiate, she would rather
do that than negotiate standing up.
Kaycey, however, took Gwendolyn’s behavior as a sign of complete disrespect toward him.
“Your artist has upset me, and your company’s contract is problematic. And this is your attitude as
you’re begging for my help?”
“Who said I came here to beg for your help?” Gwendolyn replied with a chuckle.
Kaycey looked at her with confusion.
Gwendolyn shifted to a more comfortable sitting position. Noticing that she appeared rather exhausted,
Joaquin, being considerate, stood behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.
After enjoying Joaquin’s thoughtful service for a moment, she went on, “I’m here asking for
compensation.”
“What? Compensation?” Kaycey nearly choked with laughter as he continued, “I haven’t even asked for
compensation for the losses and damages caused. Yet, you people have the nerve to approach me
and demand compensation from me?”
Gwendolyn cleared her throat. “You said there was an issue with the contract signed with Angle, and
it’s for that reason that you detained Joaquin and asked for an extension, right?”
“That’s right.”
“However, the contract was signed by your person in charge after repeated confirmations. You were not
forced by Angle to sign it. Since it was signed after confirmation, it proves that there is no problem with
the contract. So, who is the one trying to exploit legal loopholes by bringing up the contract again?”
“You-
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKaycey never expected her reasoning to be so clear and to explain it in such a sharp tone. However,
Gwendolyn cut him off before he could finish his retort.
The filming duration for artists is agreed upon in the contracts. You deliberately refused to let him leave
and demanded he work for free. Just because he disagreed, you threatened to destroy him. Not
only are you shameless and morally bankrupt, but you’ve also committed crimes of personal threats
and illegal detention. Angle’s legal department is not to be trifled with. Do you want to give it a try?”
Kaycey wanted to interject several times during her speech, but Gwendolyn’s unstoppable speech
effectively stopped him from doing so.
“Angle’s artists don’t take bullying so easily. Mr. Cameron, you may be well-known in the film and
television industry, but unfortunately, Angle is not interested in collaborating with you. We won’t be
shooting your movie!”
After saying that, she stood up, ready to leave with Joaquin.
Kaycey was furious. “You better think this through! You’re the one who suggested terminating the
contract, so you’ll have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.”
Gwendolyn turned back and glared at him. “Well, sorry to disappoint, but I won’t give you a single cent.
On the contrary, you better be prepared to pay us.”
What? Not only is she breaking the contract, but she also wants us to pay? That’s some pretty big talk
from her!
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose this matter online? Do you still care about the reputation of your
artists?”
Gwendolyn sneered, “Don’t worry, I’ve already informed the legal department to sue you. You were the
one who first dishonored the contract and then detained our artist. My suggestion for contract
termination is justified and reasonable. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try me.”
As her last words fell, Gwendolyn didn’t want to waste any more time talking to him, so she grabbed
Joaquin’s hand and left.
Kaycey and his gang tried to stop her, but Joanne blocked their way and said, “Ms. Shalders is very
busy, and she doesn’t have time to argue with you any longer. Please wait patiently for the court
summons, Mr. Cameron. If you have any further questions, then please speak to our legal department.”
Gwendolyn went back to the car and shoved the dejected Joaquin into the passenger seat.
The handsome young man lowered his head like a guilty little puppy. Gone was his usual spirited and
confident demeanor.
Gwendolyn could not fathom it. It hasn’t been that long since I last saw him. Why has he become like
this?
“Did Old Mr. Zipper punish you again? Did he hit you too hard? Let me take a look.”
As she spoke, she tried to grab Joaquin’s pants.
Joaquin’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly pushed her hand away and mumbled,
“No! I’m an adult now. Shouldn’t I have some dignity?
Gwendolyn observed his expression and recalled that when he was walking to the car earlier, he
seemed to move smoothly and didn’t look like he had been beaten.
Besides, he had been busy with filming recently and showed a serious attitude. There should not be
anything to criticize about him.
“The Zipper family has always been notorious for being troublemakers, yet this time you actually
managed to suffer a loss at the hands of a sc*mbag director like Kaycey. What on earth happened to
you?” asked Gwendolyn.
Joaquin sighed softly and murmured, “I’m sorry, I just thought you didn’t like that side of me, so I’ve
been trying to change. Gwendolyn, please give me some more time, I promise I’ll become someone
you like.”
After carefully listening to what he had to say, Gwendolyn was shocked but she did not agree.

“Why did you want to change? Is it really worth it to do so just because of my preferences?”
Joaquin nodded, his eyes filled with determination. “It’s worth it as long as you like it.”
“But I don’t like it.”
Gwendolyn furrowed her brow and said in a serious tone, “Everyone is unique. You don’t have to
change yourself for someone else or become inferior because of others. Being true to yourself is the
best way to show off your own charm.”
At first, it was because she fell in love with Maverick that she foolishly thought changing herself and
giving everything she had would make Maverick fall in love with her.
In the end, she got nothing in return other than humiliation, mockery, heartbreak, and unbearable
torment.
However, she would soon reclaim all those painful memories from that man.
As she had experienced it herself, she did not want her friends to get hurt for such reasons.
Joaquin remained silent and his expression was still very gloomy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGwendolyn sighed inwardly because she knew he was still too young to understand. No matter how
many profound truths she told him, he probably wouldn’t get much of it.
The only thing she could think to do to help him unwind and cheer him up was to suggest having dinner
together.
As expected, Joaquin, whose personality was still like a child’s, instantly cheered up, and the familiar
sparkle in his eyes quickly returned.
After he meticulously disguised himself, the two of them went to Fairlake’s most lively Ninth Avenue to
enjoy skewers.
Gwendolyn was worn out after a hectic day. As soon as she returned to the villa, she went straight to
bed.
Treyton felt sorry for his sister and instructed Flora to quietly turn off the alarm clock by her bedside.
Gwendolyn slept in the next day and only woke up at hoon. After washing up, she went straight to
Angle for work.
Sherman came not long after she sat down.
After exchanging pleasantries, Sherman cut to the chase.
“Over the past few days, I’ve been researching the Fairlake market, and I found a small real estate
company that would be perfect for you as a stepping stone.”
As he spoke, he handed over documents that contained the company’s details to Gwendolyn for her
review.
It was a company that was on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. Due to its small size, hardly anyone in
the market noticed it, and the owner’s background was quite clean.
It was truly ideal for her to purchase and operate discretely.
“Thank you so much. You’ve really helped a lot,” Gwendolyn said gratefully.
Blushing slightly, Sherman stated, “Even though I don’t exactly know what you want to do with it, I’m
glad I could be of help. That’s all that matters.”
Gwendolyn took care of things quickly and efficiently. On the same day, she bought the company and
became the largest shareholder and owner behind it,
When it was time to sign the agreement, the former boss was confused.
“I don’t know the reason you insist on buying the company, but you didn’t change the registered name,
and you did not disclose to the public that you are the real boss of the company. Why did you decide to
do that?”
