Forbidden Passion
Chapter 729 Theodore Bans Queen Entertainment

Vanessa was hurt by Theodore's tone. She bit her lip and picked up the document, which was a lease contract for an office building. Shortly, she was shocked.

Vanessa quickly looked through the document. The two-page lease contract was very clear: the Reynolds Group had leased the 17th floor to Queen Entertainment for free for four years, and today was the expiration date. Vanessa looked at Theodore in disbelief, saying in a trembling tone, "Theodore, what do you mean by this?"

Theodore said coldly, "Can't you see? The lease is up. Find another office building and move out. From now on, Queen Entertainment has nothing to do with the Reynolds Group."

Theodore's words were like a bolt from the blue for Vanessa.

Vanessa's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears. "What did you say?"

"You heard me clearly," Theodore said impatiently and coldly.

Vanessa tightly clutched the two thin sheets of paper. For the past two years, Queen Entertainment had been operating in the Reynolds Group building, and the industry had assumed that Queen Entertainment was a subsidiary of the Reynolds Group. Because of this relationship, Queen Entertainment had received many resources.

Now, Theodore wanted to kick them out of the Reynolds Group building, clearly not wanting to shelter Queen Entertainment any longer. But now Queen Entertainment was in decline. Losing the Reynolds Group's protection would undoubtedly push it towards destruction. "Theodore, I don't understand. Why are you doing this suddenly?" Vanessa looked at Theodore's increasingly cold expression in panic. Theodore said with a sneer, "I'm hoping you'll use your brain. Think about what you've done."

Vanessa's face turned pale. The only thing she had done recently was target Phoebe's Superstar Entertainment. She had always thought Theodore's indulgence towards her was out of some old affection, but it turned out not to be the case. She said with a bitter smile, "Theodore, the entertainment industry is cruel. Everyone hypes each other up. Whoever can control public opinion is the winner. If I don't hype up the artists in the company, they won't have any popularity. We need some buzz."

"I don't want to hear your nonsense. You have five days to move out," Theodore gave the final notice.

Vanessa gritted her teeth, saying, "Theodore, why are you so heartless to me? What did I do wrong for you to treat me like this?"

Theodore threw another investigation report in front of her. "This is the investigation report from the hospital that day when you incited a fan to attack Phoebe. Vanessa, there's no wall in the world that doesn't let the wind through. If you did it, there will be traces."

Vanessa picked up the investigation report. It was the confession of the fan who had stabbed Theodore at the police station, clearly stating that she was the mastermind. And the confession was made on the night of the incident. Theodore had gotten the confession long ago but had held back until today to give it to her. When he spoke, he wanted her out of the Reynolds Group building. Vanessa thought to herself, 'How could Theodore be so ruthless?' "It's not like that, Theodore. Listen to me. I didn't tell her to hurt anyone," Vanessa said.

Vanessa had indeed contacted this fan, but she had only told her to incite other fans to cause trouble, not to stab Phoebe.

Theodore, however, was impatient to hear Vanessa's defense and coldly ordered her out, "Get out!"

Vanessa was unwilling to be thrown out just like that. She propped her hands on the desk, looking at Theodore with tears in her eyes, saying, "I admit I incited her to slander Phoebe and Noah, but I didn't tell her to hurt anyone. Theodore, you have to believe me!"

Theodore pressed the intercom, saying coldly, "Carol, call security up."

Vanessa felt as if her heart had died. She collapsed into a chair, laughing and crying at the same time, saying, "Why? We've known each other since middle school. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Why would you rather believe these two thin sheets of confession than believe me?"

Theodore looked at her coldly. The day he got the confession, he wanted to throw it in Vanessa's face, but he held back.

As a result, Vanessa didn't know how to restrain herself and instead intensified her efforts, constantly opposing Phoebe.

Security arrived quickly and dragged the reluctant Vanessa out of the CEO's office. In the afternoon, the CEO's office issued a document explicitly prohibiting all staff on the 17th floor from going to the top floor.

As soon as this document was issued, Queen Entertainment was in a state of panic. Everyone knew that Vanessa had offended Theodore and was kicked out by him. The company even had to move out of the Reynolds Group building. The future of Queen Entertainment was indeed worrying.

Vanessa was utterly dejected.

Madison heard that something had happened to Queen Entertainment and quickly came over. Seeing Vanessa in utter despair, she frowned.

"Vanessa, what's going on? Why did Theodore suddenly ask us to move out of the Reynolds Group building?"

Vanessa's eyes were lifeless, and she said with a sneer, "Theodore's not just asking us to move out of the Reynolds Group building. He's trying to shut down Queen Entertainment." Madison was shocked, saying, "Why?"

"Because we went against Phoebe," Vanessa said, "Madison, why did Phoebe come back when she was doing so well in Caneda?" Madison pursed her lips.

"As soon as she came back, I was thrown into hell. " Vanessa laughed with tears in her eyes, looking crazed. "Why didn't she just die abroad?"

Madison looked at Vanessa, but her mind was on her own future. If Theodore was targeting Vanessa to avenge Phoebe, then Queen Entertainment's future was bleak.

If Queen Entertainment collapsed, her career would crumble too. The dedicated image she had built in front of Reynolds Family over the past two years would be destroyed. Madison had to find a way to stop this.

The news that Queen Entertainment was about to be kicked out by the Reynolds Group spread quickly in the industry. Cindy heard the news and almost died laughing. She immediately went to Superstar Entertainment to share it with Phoebe. Cindy said with a smile, "I really didn't expect to see the day when Theodore and Vanessa would fall out. What did she do to offend Theodore? Now the whole of New York is laughing at her."

Phoebe paused with the pen in her hand and said, "Weren't you supposed to go to the set today to do makeup tests for the actors? How do you have time to gossip here?"

Cindy looked like a cat caught by the neck. After a long time, she said, "I'm not going. I need to rest."

Phoebe noticed her unusual attitude and squinted her eyes, saying, "Why?"

Cindy uncomfortably avoided Phoebe's gaze, but Phoebe's probing eyes were everywhere. Finally, Cindy couldn't take it anymore and said, "The set wants me to do Patrick's makeup. He's so vengeful. He'll play me to death." Phoebe heard this and laughed unkindly, "When you decided to work with the set, I wondered when you'd run into Patrick. See, here it is."
