CHAPTER 166 - Setting a Trap

"That's all I can say to apologize." Alice looked apologetic, but was actually unusually pleased with herself.

Ella didn't react too well.

She just turned her gaze to Matthew and smiled, "Signed the contract yet?"

Matthew frowned slightly, not seeming to recognize who she was.

"I'm Ella. the Ford Group Marketing Director." Ella introduced herself.

Didn't say she was the Ford Group's daughter.

Nor do they need an introduction.

To be able to be the top agent in the entertainment industry, the gold masters and whatnot have long been known.

Matthew quickly reached out his hand, "Sorry, out of respect. The last time I saw you was on the live video broadcast of your big wedding, and at that time, you were wearing a phoenix cape, which is a bit different from now. But I have to say, you were as beautiful then as you are at this moment."

"Thank you." Ella was calm about Matthew's praise as she reached out and shook Matthew's hand. Opening the door, she continued, "Has Ms. Wendy's endorsement and Ms. Hamilton already signed a contract? Before signing the contract, it's not completely out of the question for Ms. Hamilton and I to compete fairly."

"It's signed." Matthew didn't say anything, Alice said bluntly.

"Yes?" Ella raised her eyebrows slightly, "Can you show me."

"It's private between us and the artists, why should we show you."

"Of course you can do without, it's just to kill me. Otherwise, maybe from time to time, I'd still have to harass Mr. Phillips," Ella gushed at Matthew, smiling slightly.

As a veteran agent, Matthew felt that with Ella's appearance, it would be a pity if she didn't come to be a star.

"Ella, you're really going a bit overboard." In front of so many people, Alice didn't give Ella any face at all.

Ella didn't bother with Alice either.

It was a look that didn't put her in her eyes either, as she spoke her terms directly to Matthew, "I've heard that Ms. Smith's endorsement fee is usually eighty million dollars. If I can, I'm willing to talk to you about a hundred million."

Matthew's eyes visibly lit up inside when he heard that number.

Wendy, who was sitting next to her, was also visibly upset at the moment.

"Ella," Alice said, her face visibly hard.

This woman, is she really overpaid?

Such a messy burn!

"Mr. Phillips can consider it." Ella didn't care about Alice at all, she was just talking to Matthew about cooperation, "After all, it's about an artist's value, once I offer a hundred million dollars, I'm sure Ms. Smith's endorsement in the future, can also go up."

"Matthew, you can't go back on your word. Whether it's being a human being or doing business, what counts is a good faith." Alice could obviously feel Matthew's heartbeat, and couldn't help but remind, "You just promised me, if you break the contract in the middle of the day, and it spreads out, I'm afraid that it won't have an impact on you, or Wendy's future career as a star."

Matthew was clearly in a bit of a bind.

"It seems that no contract has been signed." Ella concluded.

I also have to say that Alice is pretty cautious.

No contract now, just a verbal agreement.

Once Ella dropped it, she could have done it without actually signing Wendy, much less paying such an expensive sky-high endorsement fee.

The big deal is that it affects your business reputation a little bit.

But credibility is really just worthless in the face of real monetary gain.

If you lose it, you lose it.

"I have the contract with me." Alice took it straight from inside her bag.

Ella sneered.

And really prepared.

"We were just interrupted from signing an agreement because of your sudden intrusion." Alice looked a little strong, and a little anxious.

The first fear is that Wendy will be literally snatched up by Ella.

The second fear is that 80 million dollars will become 100 million again.

She was already on a tight budget.

Don't even dare to waste a bit more.

"Mr. Phillips, take a look at the contents of the agreement and if there are no problems, sign it." Matthew was clearly hesitant.

Ella doesn't forget to fan the flames at this point, "Mr. Phillips is still up for consideration, after all, everyone is talking now."

"Matthew don't forget that you have several artist endorsements under your belt that are working with us at Silverstein Group, don't lose the watermelon for the sake of the sesame seed." Alice reminded.

Matthew is still having a hard time.

In the face of profit, one really does drop all one's facades.

Wendy can't even help but speak up at the moment, "The thing about endorsements is, of course, whoever has the higher price ......"

"One hundred million." Alice said directly, "I'll give a hundred million and sign the contract right away."

Matthew was visibly surprised.

He balked, "Good."

Alice's heart was bleeding when she said it.

But the thought of getting to punch Ella in the face, or even extinguish her anger, was awesome again.

"You have someone follow my contract and make a new change in the price." Alice handed Matthew the contract papers.

Matthew rushed his secretary to print it.

Ella just watched the two perform.

Colin couldn't look away, "Matthew, it's going to be really hard for us to work together in the future when you handle things like this."

"Mr. Hahn, as you can see, I did promise Ms. Hamilton first.Now Ms. Hamilton has increased the endorsement fee for Wendy ......You said personal relationship, I surely support you, but I am sitting in this position, I have to think about my artists too! , I can't pit them against each other and let them carry a bad name because of me, right?!" Matthew took the initiative to pat Colin's shoulder, "This time when a brother can't do right by you, next time you have any need for a brother's help, I definitely won't shirk a word."

Colin sneered.

Certainly not for a few words from Matthew.

"Ms. Ford, I'm so sorry." Matthew took it upon himself to curry favor with Ella again.

Ella, naturally at the moment, also acted aloof.

Somewhat awkward room.

The secretary brought in the new contract.

Alice looked it over, still afraid of any mistakes, so was checking it carefully.

For a while.

"Is there a problem with Mr. Phillips?"

"No." Matthew, naturally, looked it over and said in a huff.

"No problem, we'll sign the contract."

"Okay, okay." Matthew agreed in a huff.

Ella just watched as both parties got the contract signed, stamped, and jockeyed.

"Congratulations." Ella volunteered.

Alice smiled smugly, "Just admitting it."

Ella seemed to laugh sarcastically, as if it was another delusion.

Ella took Colin, and without another word, turned and walked away.

Alice looked at Ella's gray back and it was almost too good to be true!

They say Ella has changed as a person, and in her opinion, that's all there is to it.

Ella and her group stepped into the elevator, and she turned to Colin, "Would you please ask Supervisor Mr. Hahn to put me in touch with Elijah."

"Who?"

An ace agent on the rise.

There's also a soon-to-be-huge, international top-tier star.

As for Wendy.

Soon it will be, scandalized and in tatters!
