Chapter 144:
“Oh my God! It’s Mr. Lopez!” someone exclaimed.
“Why is he here?” another asked.
“The Royal Garden Corporation purchased 51% of the shares of the ballet troupe?” a third speculated. “He’s rich enough to do that.”
“Is the Royal Garden Corporation stepping into the arts? Big news! Hurry up and record this moment!”
Milton strode confidently onto the stage, and the entire venue fell silent.
It was clear that, with 51% of the shares, he had become the absolute owner of the Royal Ballet Troupe.
As the new boss arrived, the public relations director pointedly ignored Madilyn, leaving her standing awkwardly as all attention shifted entirely to Milton.
The public relations director had always been dissatisfied with Madilyn’s promotion to the lead role in the ballet troupe. In his opinion, she had started as just a regular ballet dancer, and he couldn’t fathom how she had landed the lead role.
The public relations director greeted Milton with a polite smile, quickly removing Greyson’s name card to make room for him. “Mr. Lopez, please have a seat,” he offered.
“It’s okay, I’m just here to convey a message,” Milton replied arrogantly.
“Of course. Go ahead.” The public relations director’s tone was the epitome of respect.
Milton cast a cold glance at the pale-faced Madilyn.
With a scornful look, he said, “You are fired.” The words cut through the air like a knife, leaving Madilyn standing there in shock and disbelief.
What?! He was firing her?!
Madilyn stood agape, shocked to the core by the revelation. Milton Lopez!
The one person she never expected to be her obstacle stood there with a smug look on his face.
Madilyn had worked so hard to make Greyson buy the ballet troupe for her. And now, it was all for nothing.

“Yes, sir! It will be done.” The public relations director didn’t hesitate to comply with Milton’s order.
Milton continued in a commanding tone, “Compensate her according to labor law. And get all the procedures finished today.”
He glanced at his watch. “Make sure to clean up all her things before noon.”
The public relations director was stunned but nodded nonetheless. “I understand.”
Why did it seem like Milton was in a rush to get rid of Madilyn?
It was clear that Madilyn had offended this powerful figure.
Despite spending billions to acquire the ballet troupe, Milton only offered Madilyn the bare minimum compensation required by labor law. He wasn’t about to give her a penny more.
Madilyn had never felt so humiliated in her life.
