Chapter 980: Do You Think I'm Easy to Deal With?
Benedict finished his cigarette, flicked the butt out the window, then turned to face Jones. "Are you here
to threaten me?"
Jones replied calmly, "If that's how you see it, then so be it."
Benedict narrowed his eyes. "Jones, you're really sticking close to Sandy. Do you truly believe she's
innocent? Do you think all those hidden scandals won't come out? Those black materials that her anti-
fans can't dig up?"
Upon hearing Benedict's words, Jones raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Sharp, don't forget how much influence
Sandy brought to Simsang Entertainment. Haven't you counted that in?"
Benedict smiled. "You make a good point. But every artist at Simsang Entertainment has contributed in
their own way. They've all brought in profits. Losing Sandy won't have much impact on me, but..."
Benedict paused slightly before continuing, "But if she affects me, that's a different story. What do you
think?"
Jones looked at Benedict, unable to suppress a smile, which soon turned into a chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I always thought you had some conscience, but now I see that you're just heartless! No matter how
much others sacrifice for you, in your eyes, it's only what they're supposed to do," Jones said coldly,
locking eyes with Benedict. "But why do you think they owe you? How much have they given to
perform well and get those lucrative endorsements? Why should you exploit them?"
Benedict stared at Jones. "So, you're not only here to speak for Sandy but also for other people at
Simsang Entertainment?"
"And if I say I am?" Jones replied.
Benedict pressed his tongue against his teeth and lowered his voice. "Jones, I'm not getting angry at
you because I have some thoughts about you. But don't think I'm a good person. If you really make me
unhappy, neither you nor anyone else will find it easy."
Jones met Benedict's gaze directly and said, "Well, when others make me uncomfortable, I'll make sure
to return the favor a hundredfold."
At this point, Jones took a step closer to Benedict. "Don't think everyone is oblivious. Do you know why
Belle and Aaron are targeting Sandy behind her back?"
Without beating around the bush, Benedict replied, "So what if I arranged it? They have to listen to me,
don't they?"
Jones was about to say something, but Benedict's voice cut in first. "Jones, you have no connection to
Simsang Entertainment now, and Simsang Entertainment has nothing to do with you. Do your job, and
you better not meddle in what's not your concern. Otherwise, you'll be the one to regret it."
"I don't mind regretting this as well," Jones said calmly. "But I want to advise Mr. Sharp to back off. If
you go too far, whether it's them or me, we'll resist."
With that, Jones leaned in slightly, whispering in Benedict's ear, "Otherwise, I'll send a recording I have
to Mrs. Wen. She'll see the real face of the gentle and virtuous gentleman in front of the public."
Upon hearing Jones's words, Benedict's expression changed almost instinctively, and he loosened his
grip on Jones.
Jones calmly adjusted his clothes. "I won't disturb Mr. Sharp any longer."
This time, Benedict didn't stop Jones, watching her leave before retracting his gaze.
He stood there with a dark expression, thinking about what Jones had said. Benedict was actually
somewhat nervous.
After a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed Belle's number.
Belle quickly answered the call. "Mr. Sharp."
"Come to my office. I need to talk to you," Benedict said.
"I'm outside now, I'll be at the company in about twenty minutes. I'll find you when I arrive," Belle
replied. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Benedict acknowledged before ending the call and returning to his office.
By the time he returned, there was no trace of the woman in the office.
Oddly, that relieved Benedict a bit.
Twenty minutes later, Belle arrived at Benedict's office.
"Mr. Sharp, you wanted to see me?"
Benedict looked at Belle and gestured for her to take a seat. "Come, have a seat."
Belle glanced at Benedict's face before sitting down in one of the chairs in front of his desk.
"I heard you went to Gotrend Entertainment to apologize to Sandy today," Benedict said once Belle had
settled down.
Belle didn't deny it and nodded. "Yes, I did. Aaron seemed to have gone there as well."
Benedict smiled. "Do you think I did something wrong?"
Belle hesitated before replying, "Mr. Sharp, what I did has nothing to do with you. It was my personal
decision."
Benedict waved his hand. "No need to say that. I know I asked you all to do it because of your situation
with Selena."
Upon hearing this, Belle's expression subtly changed.
"So, I stopped you from doing what I asked, but why did Aaron listen to me? Because if he didn't, the
entertainment industry wouldn't tolerate him, and that's why you and the others followed my orders to
target Sandy," Benedict said.
At this point, Benedict looked at Belle. "But I didn't tell you to go to Gotrend Entertainment to apologize
to Sandy. Why did you and Aaron do it?"
