Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 454

She was about to shut her phone off, but Noreen picked it up for her.

The moment the call connected, a furious voice erupted from the speaker. "Claire, where are you? You need to get over here and apologize to Mr. Zachariah right now! I worked my ass off to get you this opportunity, and this is how you treat the sponsor?"

"He took an interest in you! That's a blessing! And you threw a drink in his face and called him a fat pig? What kind of talent are you?"

"I'm telling you, you have to go apologize to Mr. Zachariah immediately and get his forgiveness, or the agency will terminate your contract!"

Noreen's patience wore thin. She spoke into the phone, her voice calm but firm. "Then terminate it."

"Who is this?" the agent demanded, realizing it wasn't Claire's voice.

"You don't need to know who I am. But I will remind you that forcing your clients into situations like that is illegal. We reserve the right to pursue legal action."

The agent burst out laughing. "Legal action? Do you have any proof we forced her to do anything? Let me tell you something, Claire is signed to a ten-year contract. If she doesn't cooperate with the agency's arrangements, it's a breach of contract, and we will sue her for the buyout fee!"

Noreen's expression didn't change. "I'll pay the buyout fee. But I will also pursue legal action against you. This phone call is all the evidence I need, isn't it?"

The agent, suddenly worried Noreen was recording the call, hung up immediately.

Claire chewed on the end of a wooden skewer. "That was a bit impulsive, Noreen. The buyout fee is astronomical."

"Is it really a problem if money can solve it?" Noreen said, gently taking the skewer from her hand.

Claire's eyes lit up. "My sugar mama! Take me, I'm yours!"

"Don't let this nonsense ruin your mood. I'll have my lawyers contact them about terminating the contract. And then, we'll start a new company. You'll be the only artist we sign."

"I'm clinging to this leg and never letting go!"

With Noreen in her corner, Claire's worries vanished into thin air. The two of them drank until they were both thoroughly content before heading home.
