Chapter 454 Breakup

Sarah's voice revealed no hints of joy or anger.

However, Seraphina sensed that any woman facing such a situation couldn't possibly be pleased about it.

After speaking, Sarah turned and walked away.

Seraphina followed. She glanced back to see Justin still standing there, his cold gaze fixed on Bruce, who was inside.

Sarah had borrowed an office at the hotel to print some documents.

In less than ten minutes, they were downstairs waiting for Bruce.

When he finally appeared, he was dressed neatly in clean clothes, maintaining the polished look he always had.

Yet his complexion was pale, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock. He looked exhausted, his vitality drained quite simply, it seemed he had indulged too much.

He glanced around and asked, "Where's Sarah?"

Seraphina replied, "She'll be here soon. Have a seat."

Since no one intended to have a fallout, they naturally avoided any disgraceful scenes of cursing and tearing each other apart, even though Seraphina felt tempted to do so.

As soon as Bruce sat down, Sarah arrived with the documents in hand. Bruce immediately stood up, looking anxious and apprehensive.

Before anyone could speak, he launched into an explanation.

"Actually, those two were just friends that someone introduced to me. They wanted to break into the modeling industry with my help. Yesterday, during a party, they accidentally slipped something into my drink. Seraphina rolled her eyes at his excuse. Haha! Did he really believe we're that gullible?

Interrupting him, Sarah remained calm, her face devoid of any other emotion.

She placed the printed documents before Bruce. "Sign here."

As Bruce read the document, his expression shifted drastically.

It was a termination of contract.

Sarah had lifted him from obscurity to a prominent position on the international runway; he had undoubtedly become her most valuable model. And now she was so decisively letting him go?

Bruce seemed incredulous.

Seraphina let out a scornful laugh. Justin, unable to contain himself, stepped forward and forcefully slammed Bruce's head onto the table.

With a loud bang, Justin lifted Bruce's head by clutching his collar, a tone of cold irritation lacing his voice.

"If she asked you to sign the paper, then you should sign! Are you deaf?"

Blood trickled from Bruce's nose as he awkwardly wiped it away, to no avail.

Terrified of Justin, he wanted to say something but then fell silent.

It wasn't just the weight of the Crosses behind Justin; even Justin himself was not someone to be trifled with in their industry. Head-on confrontation was definitely unwise.

He glanced at Sarah, trembling as he picked up the pen to sign.

Sarah collected the document, her face blank.

She wore a cold smirk and declared, "You're free now, Bruce. You won't have to attend any international shows in a few years. I've officially withdrawn your representation and recommended new talent instead." Bruce's face fell. He exclaimed, "That's impossible! Newcomers can't participate in shows like that!

The prestigious international shows are the center of attention in the fashion world, only featuring models who had gone through rigorous selection processes.

It was unthinkable to use newcomers.

Sarah chuckled lightly, her tone icy as she reminded him, "When I pushed you to the top, you were just a newcomer too. Do you really think you could have made it onto that runway without my recommendation?"

She laid bare the industry's unspoken rules for him-those who can lift you up can just as easily bring you down.

"While talent is essential, there are many equally capable people still struggling in this industry. You were the only one who stood out. Bruce, you were the first rookie to sign with my agency. I promised to do everything I could to help you, and I did."

Sarah smiled, but her voice was growing colder.

"But from today onward, you're on your own."

At this point, she was reluctant to even mention the term 'breakup. She had simply given up on him.

She stood up, looking at Seraphina. "Let's go. I can't let you leave empty-handed. Let's hit the mall; pick out something nice, and it's on me!"

Seraphina smiled and stood up, realizing that Sarah was still very much Sarah-always decisive and efficient in her approach to matters. Without such sharp tactics, how could she have fought her way to where she was today?

She understood clearly that, for Sarah, business came first.
