Capítulo 2421: Chapter 127: That Fifteen Million Was a Gift from Winona Wallace
“You may leave first.” Sheila Fletcher was reprimanded by Winona Wallace in front of outsiders, yet there wasn’t any unpleasant expression on her face. Instead, she gently instructed the public relations manager.
“Yes, I will handle it as previously discussed. Mr. Fletcher, Miss, I’ll be heading out now.”
The public relations manager lowered his head, retreating as if facing a great enemy.
However, in his heart, he found himself increasingly disdainful of this Miss Wallace.
When Miss Wallace first joined Starlight, he, like the blinded fans outside, believed her to be gentle and graceful, elegant and fitting, always smiling softly at everyone, completely different from those bossy wealthy ladies.
The entire company liked Winona Wallace, whereas they were not fond of Leslie Howard, the troubleso daughter who always seed to be causing issues for Mr. Fletcher.
Who would have known, you can truly never judge a book by its cover.
Over the years, Miss Wallace’s status within the circle beca increasingly solid, and Starlight no longer relied on Leslie Howard’s fa and standing to conquer the entertainnt circle.
Thus, Miss Wallace’s true nature was exposed.
The public relations manager had just been scolded harshly by Winona Wallace a few days ago, so he was only too eager to exit the CEO’s office.
Yet thinking of the congenial Mr. Fletcher, the public relations manager couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for him.
“Winona, what is going on? If there’s anything, sit down and let’s talk it out, don’t get upset.” Sheila Fletcher stood up from behind the office desk, approached to pull Winona Wallace, only to have her hand slapped away.

“You have the nerve to ask! Your precious daughter Leslie Howard has now terminated her contract with the company, taking just a re fifteen million dollars to do so! Sheila Fletcher, let ask you, did you deliberately sign such a low-price contract for Leslie Howard, just waiting for her to turn around and betray us?”
“A low-price contract, how is that possible?” Sheila Fletcher’s mouth turned up in a helpless smile, as if looking at a child throwing a tantrum, gazing at Winona Wallace.
“Winona, you are completely mistaken. Back then, the signing bonus of seven hundred fifty thousand was at your request, did you forget? At that ti, Leslie was in the pri of her career in the circle, if she signed with an outside company, her signing bonus could have been in the tens of millions to billions. But then, seeing that our Starlight was just founded, she joined Starlight to support .
The seven hundred fifty thousand signing bonus, you thought was too high, so you privately pleaded with your father, and he specifically ntioned it to . As for Leslie, she wanted to help her family business, so she agreed to this friendship price. As for the penalty being twenty tis the signing bonus, that was above the market standard at the ti. Most companies would cap penalties at ten tis, and it was because I drafted the contract that Leslie didn’t look too deeply into it.”
Sheila Fletcher analyzed it point by point for Winona Wallace, presenting the appearance of an understanding ‘kind mother.’
Even though she was Winona’s stepmother, she never spoke harshly to her.
In just a few words, Winona Wallace was left speechless.
Indeed, it was she who didn’t want Leslie Howard to earn too much initially, thinking that it was all within the family business, just a matter of shifting money from one hand to the other. So she told her father to inform Sheila Fletcher to grant Leslie Howard only a seven hundred fifty thousand signing bonus.
Looking back, Winona Wallace felt a bit proud, thinking she had taken advantage of Leslie Howard.
How could she have imagined back then that the signing bonus would be related to the penalty, and more importantly, the company had not arranged any jobs for Leslie Howard for years, she couldn’t have imagined Leslie could still afford a fifteen million dollar penalty.
At this mont, Sheila Fletcher frowned: “Hmm, this isn’t right. Even if Leslie took on the Gray family’s film, her film salary couldn’t be fifteen million. Winona, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? How could Leslie have fifteen million to terminate the contract?”
“I…” Winona Wallace’s throat choked up, how could she admit that the fifteen million was her gift!
