Terminate the contracts?
At those words, the dancers exchanged triumphant glances. Lunar was finally getting kicked out. With Elvira as the lead, they wouldn't have to worry about screen time.
Elvira breathed a sigh of relief, a smile gracing her lips.
But that smile hadn't even lasted two seconds before Rachel spoke.
"Here are the termination agreements. As of now, you are no longer dancers for this music video, and you have no further affiliation with Era Media."
What?
Hearing this, everyone stared in disbelief, their eyes widening.
Wasn't Lunar the one getting fired? Why were their names on the contracts?
"Rachel, what are you talking about?" Elvira asked, her smile frozen on her face as she looked at the stack of papers.
"Isn't it obvious?" Rachel slammed the contracts onto a table. "You maliciously slandered Master Lunar, defamed her character, and acted without integrity."
"I just spoke with Master Lunar. You all voluntarily withdrew from the music video. And Master Lunar has decided she only needs one backup dancer for this project. As for the rest of you, feel free to leave."
Maliciously slandered? Elvira's face drained of all color, becoming deathly pale. "We didn't," she stammered. "Someone told us she…"
"See for yourselves!" Rachel pulled out her phone and showed them the recent, positive news articles about Lunar.
As Elvira scrolled, her expression grew uglier and uglier.
How could this be? Yolanda had sworn that her stepsister was a terrible person. She had even shown them a mountain of negative reports about Lunar.
She had trusted Yolanda, and she had been deceived!
Rachel nodded. Of course she knew. When it came to his sister, termination and blacklisting were getting off easy. She had no doubt that if there had been a knife handy, Mr. Tate would have gladly used it on anyone who slandered or bullied his sister.
After Jimmie left, Rachel finally spoke, "You have thirty minutes to clear out your things. If you're not gone by then… you'll face the consequences."
With that, she turned and walked away without a second glance.
"Elvira, what do we do?" the other dancers cried, turning to Elvira, who stood frozen, as if all the blood had been drained from her body.
What could they do? Mr. Tate himself had told them to get lost. Who would dare to stay? She could have at least been a backup dancer if she didn't get the lead role… but now, she had nothing.
And it was all Yolanda's fault.
Snapping back to reality, Elvira clenched her fists and stormed upstairs. She was going to make that witch pay!
