My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2849: No. 2859 You really have double standards.

Omega Huntley, an artist signed with the Parker Group, appeared to be a rising star being groomed for promotion.

What could possibly lead the Parker Group to abruptly terminate her contract?

If their reasoning stemmed from apprehension towards the Heath Group, it wouldn't make logical sense.

With both the Parker Group and the Heath Group possessing comparable influence, it was even more imperative for the Parker Group to actively support their artists during this particular time.

Furthermore, Frank Parker was not known to be a person who shied away from conflict or trouble.

Porter Rushbrook's mind suddenly recalled the gossip he had encountered just half an hour prior, prompting him to cast a few more glances in Joanna Lawrence's direction.

Could the reason... be connected to Joanna Lawrence?

Did Mr. Parker harbor affections for Joanna Lawrence?

Porter Rushbrook's observant eyes fixed upon Joanna’s exquisitely beautiful face, resembling that of a delicate porcelain doll. The longer he gazed, the more his heart quickened its pace.

He then considered that it was entirely plausible for Mr. Parker to become infatuated with Joanna Lawrence.

Joanna's appearance... was simply too stunning.

A cluster of individuals approached the elevator doors.

As the elevator doors glided open, just as Joanna prepared to step inside, she encountered someone exiting the elevator in a rush.

This individual, bursting forth from the elevator, hurtled towards her with clenched teeth and an expression etched with deep animosity. A voice filled with resentment reverberated down the corridor: "Joanna Lawrence, why must you continuously provoke me? Do you intend to drive me to my demise before you find satisfaction? What makes you so malicious, compelling others towards their ruin?"

"What have I done to genuinely offend you?"

"Why are you treating me in such a manner?"

Caught completely unprepared, Joanna was nearly sent sprawling to the ground by the sheer force of Annie Lawrence's emotional outburst. Fortunately, Porter Rushbrook, who was accompanying her, reacted with swiftness. As Annie lunged to choke Joanna, Porter swiftly interposed himself between them and firmly pushed the unhinged Annie away.

The others present also responded with alacrity.

Several gentlemen among the guests gallantly moved to shield Joanna.

Porter Rushbrook's brow furrowed as he regarded Annie Lawrence, who still cast a hateful glare at Joanna even after being shoved back. He spoke with a cold tone, "Omega Huntley, what exactly are you doing? Have you lost your senses?"

Annie lifted her head.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and witnessing several male guests fiercely protecting Joanna only intensified the venom of her hatred. She slowly regained her composure and uttered through gritted teeth, "Yes, I have lost my mind, driven to madness by Joanna Lawrence!"

"I merely exchanged a few words with her last night, and she had the Program Group dismiss me. On what grounds could she have me removed? Is it solely due to her powerful connections? Is it fair for the Program Group to treat me this way?"

"You all target me, a newcomer, simply to curry favor with her. Do you take pride in such actions? It is unmistakably Joanna Lawrence who leverages her influence to oppress others, yet here you are, all accusing me and deeming me insane. Hahaha, what exemplary figures of the entertainment industry, what upstanding young individuals you claim to be, you are all merely a pack of hypocritical and revolting sycophants!"

Her words were laced with venom.

She proceeded to insult every single person present.

For a moment, the countenances of everyone around them contorted with displeasure.

Porter Rushbrook, thoroughly incensed, did not hesitate to curse aloud: "Omega Huntley, what is your issue? When exactly have we ever bullied you? Whatever conflicts exist between you and Joanna Lawrence are of no concern to us, but if you intend to resort to physical violence against her here, I shall not permit it!"

"Now you accuse her of using her influence to bully others, but when you displaced Tia and seized her rightful position, did you not consider yourself to be doing the exact same thing? Are you the sole individual permitted to possess influential connections? Your hypocrisy is truly astounding."

"
