"Penalty?" Kayla murmured.

She said uncertainly, "What penalty? Was there such a clause in our contract?" Grace was a little bewildered. "Ms. Green, did you sign the contract without reading it?" Kayla's heart skipped a bit. That was exactly what she had done. She had been so fixated on getting Caleb's attention when she had signed the contract that she hadn't paid attention to the details.

She had barely even looked at the contract before she had signed her initials on it.

Kayla was panicking as she silently grasped the hem of her shirt. She had already used most of her money to pay for the necklace.

She didn't have any more money to pay for the penalty.

But given the situation she was in, what else could she do? "How much is the penalty?" Kayla asked with a frown. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Grace shrugged and told her the truth. "If you want to end the contract now, the terms dictate that you need to pay a penalty of 50 million dollars for breach of contract.

"As for how much you need to pay ... it depends entirely on what | feel like asking for." Kayla's knees gave way. She had only one thought in her mind.

Her life was over! "Ms. Lewis, please, | beg of you. Go easy on me," Kayla begged.

Even though she was the one who had brought up the termination of her contract, she was talking as if Grace was trying to make things difficult for her.

"Ms. Green, weren't you the one who wanted to terminate the contract? Amirate Corporation respects its employees’ freedom of choice.

"If you decide not to go through with the termination, that's fine, too. But the company will have new considerations for your future development.” Kayla nodded frantically. She said, "lI won't terminate the contract anymore. It was my fault, Ms. Lewis. Please. | don't want to terminate the contract anymore." Grace crossed her arms, and her eyes were emotionless. She said slowly, "Okay, that's fine. But we won't be providing you with any resources from now on." Kayla was dumbfounded when she heard that.

"What? You can't do that!" Kayla had srecognition in the industry at the moment. If she could get resources, she would definitely be able to establish a foothold in the industry.

"Please don't do that to me, Ms. Lewis. | beg of you. Anything but that. I'll be good. | won't cause any more trouble for the company. | beg of you to please givea chance. Don't iceout." If the company didn't give her any resources, she would lose all chance for exposure. She wouldn't be able to appear in front of the public. Then, she would eventually be forgotten.

Kayla's face paled. She was well aware that if she wasn't given any resources, she would lose all her job opportunities. That would mean she wouldn't have an income.

Without an income, she wouldn't be able to afford the penalty for breach of contract. She could only wait until the contract's period ended.

But it would be five whole years.

Five years was a very long tfor an actress. Even if she made a comeback after five years, no one would even remember her.

Tears started to fall freely down her face. Kayla started crying profusely.

Grace was completely unfazed. "Ms. Green, you're an adult. You have to take responsibility for your actions. This is the price you have to pay for your actions." With that said, Grace turned and left.

Kayla didn't want to give up when she saw Grace leave. She went after Grace and stood in her way.

"Ms. Lewis, please givea chance. I'm Caleb's junior, after all. | promise | will do my best to make profits for the company. I'll do all the work I'm assigned without complaints. Just please don't puton ice."
