Chapter 387
Tears streamed down Ingrid’s cheeks. She choked, “I didn’t want to lie to you. I never wanted to! I’ve been keeping this to myself, and it has been tormenting me! But I had no idea of this when I signed the endorsement contract with Norwalk Corporation, and after that, things were out of my control…”
“Ingrid, crying won’t solve anything,” Simon comforted her gently. “Lawson Global now has a collaboration with Norwalk Corporation, so they wouldn’t want anything to happen to our ambassador either. Lawson Global won’t spread this news, and we’ll also negotiate with Ms. Emmerson to keep this secret together.
“However, Norwalk Corporation has paid a high price to keep you as the global ambassador, and I need to give them assurance. This supplementary agreement will put all our minds at ease.”
If Linda had been present, Ingrid would have discussed the supplementary contract with her first.
But now…
She looked up at Simon with her tearful eyes and sobbed. “Ned wants to call off our engagement now! He was with me because he had lost his memories. Now that he’s regained his memories, he told me Angie is the only one he loves! Would this be considered as an impact on the brand too?”
Ingrid pondered for some time. Apart from the fact that she had taken credit for what Angeline had done, her relationship with Ned was the only thing that she could be criticized for. After all, Ingrid had gained popularity because of the fairytale-like love story between her and Ned.
Simon watched Ingrid sob and handed her a tissue. He said, “Look carefully. The contract states that marriage, divorce, relationships, or breakups will not be included in the terms of the contract unless you were the one at fault.”
Ingrid nodded. Then she began crying again as if she had thought of something else. “Norwalk Corporation won’t extend my contract after the three-year term, will they?”
“That depends on the situation at the time. Of course, changing the global ambassador too easily will also affect the brand, so I hope your career will develop further after we sign this contract. This will be
beneficial to our brand as well, and when you reach a higher position, there will be no reason for us not to renew our contract with you,” Simon said.
Ingrid sniffed and carefully wiped away her tears with the tissue so that she wouldn’t smear her makeup. “Okay, I’ll sign it! But… I want to ask something personal, as a friend. Could you help my fiance?”
“Didn’t you say that Mr. Fletcher wanted to call off your engagement?”
Ingrid nodded. “Although he wants to call off our engagement, I still want things to go well for him. After all, he is the man I love! I don’t care about the fact that he wants to leave me because he’s regained his memories. When he lost his memories, our love was real, and believe that he truly loved me during that period. It’s just that the person who loved me is gone! I still wish that things will go well for him!”
“You’re very kind.” Simon smiled. “However, rather than asking me to help, why don’t you ask Mr. Fletcher to go directly to Ms. Emmerson and ask for her mercy? After all, Ms. Emmerson is the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. She can help out with just a word.”
“W-What? Angie is the founder of Vitality Biotech Group?” Ingrid’s eyes widened.
“Yes.” Simon nodded. “You’re in the entertainment industry, not in the business world. So you don’t know much about news in the business circle Ms. Emmerson is the founder of Vitality Biotech Group Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been capable enough to be appointed as the executive vice president of Lawson
Global by Mr. Lawson Senior.
“Even if he had tried to do so, the executives and directors of a large corporation
like Lawson Global would never have agreed.”
