Chapter: 765
Taking a deep breath, Ariana managed a nod, forcing herself to maintain a calm demeanor.
Breaking away from the Anderson Group was part of Theodore’s strategy, and she played her part
accordingly. Yet her friends had made a significant sacrifice, oblivious to the underlying truth.
Still, she couldn’t spill the beans just yet.
She looked at her friends, making a silent pledge to herself. Once the dust had settled, she would let
them in on the truth and do everything in her power to make it right for them.
Tyler, who had been quiet up until now, suddenly suggested, “Since we’re all here, how about we grab
a bite to eat together?”
He made the offer to the group, but his eyes were glued to Ariana, a look of worry etched on his face.
Sarah was quick to support his idea. “I second that! Ariana, you can’t keep cooped up at home all the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime. Let’s have a meal together. Think of it as a farewell feast and a toast to fresh starts.”
Ariana, won over by their infectious excitement, decided to go along with the plan.
Just as they settled in for the meal, Ariana’s phone buzzed. She pulled out her phone, saw an unknown
number flash across the screen, and her heart pounded. The first thought that sprang to mind was that
Theodore might be reaching out. She couldn’t resist the possibility and answered the call eagerly.
“Ariana!” Jasper’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Ariana immediately recognized the voice. The expectation in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and
her expression darkened. She didn’t give Jasper time to say anything and just hung up the phone. She
then blocked his number.
Just hearing Jasper’s voice made her nauseous and she didn‘t even want to know what he wanted
from her.
Ariana took a moment to calm herself down and swallow the negative emotions this call had just stirred
up in her. Once she’d calmed down, she turned her full attention back to the dining table.
After the food they ordered was served, they began to eat while discussing setting up a studio.
There were still many troublesome matters to deal with at the moment.
Now that they had signed the termination agreements with Jasper, there were many follow-up tasks
that needed to be completed.
The most important thing was to create a studio. But even for that, there were many tedious
procedures to manage. Also, they would need to rework on the album that Sarah had shelved.
“Fortunately, we own all copyrights,” Sarah exclaimed gleefully as she took a sip of wine.
During the negotiation with Jasper, she demanded to keep all the copyrights of her works. This was
one of her conditions for agreeing to pay an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.
“That’s right! Owning the copyrights makes a big difference. If we didn’t own them, all these years of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwork would have been for nothing,”
Betsy chimed in. She had drank too much and seemed a Little tipsy. But even so, she still wouldn’t put
down the bottle of whiskey.
Ariana nodded too.
Since they owned the copyrights to Sarah’s songs, it would be easier for Sarah to make a comeback
after she Left the Anderson Group.
Everyone had a good time. When dinner was over, Ariana said goodbye to her friends and returned to
her apartment alone.
Back home, Ariana slumped down on the couch and turned on the TV. By chance, she came across a
news broadcast on the Anderson Group.
