His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar
Chapter 344

Chapter 0344

Inside the sleek Zimler Entertainment Group skyscraper in downtown Zabaleta…

“Wanda, have you forgotten who you are?

“Going rogue with endorsements for New Chesire Group, living a scandalous life… Do you have any

idea how much effort and resources we’ve poured into your career?

“You’re out of line!”

In the executive suite at the top of the tower, Wanda silently stood meekly before the massive oak

desk, her head hung low.

She was the company’s golden girl, a red–hot celebrity from the moment she stepped into the spotlight,

the group’s very own golden goose.

Travis Zimmer, the boss himself, had always held her in high regard, sparing her from any harsh

words–until then.

“Do you realize the lengths I went to clean up your mess with the Ledger family?”

Travis, puffing on his cigar, slammed his hand down on the desk, the sound echoing through the room.

“I had to grovel and scrape to save face with the Ledgers, or you’d be history!”

Wanda remained silent, her head still bowed.

Kelvin, standing off to the side, could not stand it any longer.

Travis fixed things with the Ledger family? What a joke!



It was the legendary Ol‘ Mare Mister Kane who stormed the Ledger estate that night, rescuing his

parents and ensuring the Ledgers would not dare cross Wanda again. Travis had not lifted a finger, let

alone played the hero.

All that, and he had the gall to claim the victory as his own? The nerve!

“Boss.” Kelvin paused, then stepped up to explain, “You know Wanda’s integrity,1…”

“Did I ask for your damn opinion? Beat it!” Travis cut Kelvin off before he could say another word,

angrily flicking his cigar at him. “What kind of agent are you, anyway?

“Mixing with shady characters, getting caught up in drug parties… If Wanda gets the axe, do you

realize the hit our company would take? We couldn’t make up the loss if we sold you off!”

Everyone has their breaking point, and with Wanda’s reputation on the line, Kelvin’s patience ran out.

He said firmly, “Boss, I swear on my life, this is nothing but a vicious lie!”

A lie? It had to be a lie!

Travis lit up another cigar and let out a derisive snort.

He had been in showbiz long enough to have his own network of informants. He had been tipped off

about that mess. Rumor had it that the Ol‘ Mare New Chesire Group had crossed some northern

tycoons. Wanda, as their face, was caught in the crossfire. Nobody could pull her out of that one.

So what if she was the darling of the silver screen? To those northern tycoons, a starlet like her was

just a bigger bug, easily squashed.

“Boss, you can trust that this won’t touch the company.”



Finally breaking her silence, Wanda looked up and said quietly, “I’ll own this. Whatever comes, I’ll

handle it myself.”

“You? That’s a laugh!”

Travis scoffed, cigar smoke curling around him. “Wanda, you’re nothing but a cash cow to me. Do you

think you’re special or something? I could shut you down with a single word!”

“Go ahead and try!”

Wanda stood tall, her youthful face a picture of defiance. “I’ve always played it straight, never bending

to fear or rumor. If you’re so concerned about the company’s image, feel free to cut ties with me. Your

call, I couldn’t care less.”

Wanda lost her patience.

Travis‘ eyes narrowed, his expression turning distant and menacing. “You think this is a game? Without

my backing, you’d be six feet under! Go ahead, break off our deal, and see how fast you end up in

pieces!”

However, Wanda just laughed.

After everything with Alexander, she was no longer the clueless girl she once was. Travis‘ threats could

not

touch her then.

What was Travis to her? What did she have to be afraid of?

Back when Marcus had her cornered, where was that bragging boss? Sir Kane had cleared her path,

and Travis dared to claim all the glory? The nerve, the utter gall!



“I’ve paid back the company’s investment in me with my hard work, and made you a tidy profit to boot!”

She held her head high, staring Travis down with unflinching conviction. “I’m done buying into your act

of kindness. There’s a whole world out there, and I refuse to believe there’s no place in it for me. This is

the last time I’ll call you ‘boss.’ Goodbye.”

With that, she spun on her heel and strode toward the office door.

“Wanda, you wouldn’t dare!”

Travis leaped from his executive chair, pointing a shaking finger at her retreating figure, his voice rising

to a shout. “Step out that door, and you’ll regret it! Mister Ledger and the northern tycoons won’t let you

off the hook, you…”

His voice trailed off.

Wanda had not even made it out of the office before Kelvin gave Travis a dismissive shake of the head

and flung his ID badge onto the desk. “Boss, after all these years, this is the first time quitting felt so

damn good.

“I’m out of here on my own terms.”

He did not even glance back at Travis raging tantrum and hurried to catch up with Wanda.
