Chapter 376 - 231: Breaking the Contract and Slapping Luna Durant in the Face

Mr. Carter is responsible for external cooperation matters; all performances and business collaborations outside the museum are his responsibility, which is equivalent to financial management within the museum.

This time, due to the cooperation with the "Searching for the City’s Secret" program crew, Mr. Carter was too busy and entrusted him with the filming matters of this small documentary crew.

In terms of position, Mr. Carter is his direct superior.

"I’m sorry, I’m late," Mr. Carter sincerely apologized to the two, then turned his head, looking at several staff members, his face immediately changed to a cold and stern expression, "The museum has ’temporary issues,’ can’t provide them with a venue, and I wasn’t informed about it?"

"This..."

The leader’s face turned pale, stammering and unable to find a plausible excuse.

His reason for brushing off the crew was flimsy; how could he find a truly reasonable explanation?

Mr. Carter had no interest in listening to his explanation and said bluntly, "You’re fired."

"Mr. Carter! I—"

"I what? Everyone is aware of what you did privately."

Mr. Carter threatened coldly.

The leader immediately fell silent, and even the few staff members following were quiet.

They certainly weren’t willing to engage in such thankless tasks.

They did it because someone tempted them with sufficiently large benefits.

The person behind the penalty payment was willing to cover it and even gave them a sum of money enough to bear the risk of this breach of contract incident.

However, they never expected that this obscure documentary crew knew Mr. Carter, causing him to handle this matter amid his busy schedule.

"Miss Scott, Miss Collins, I’m very sorry we didn’t handle this matter well."

Mr. Carter, facing the two, adopted a sincere and respectful demeanor and presented his solution, "We’ll compensate for the breach of contract penalty, and you can use the venue as you like. I’ll notify everyone that the entire museum will prioritize cooperating with your filming."

Mr. Carter knew beforehand about the documentary crew coming to film; he had even approved the contract himself.

If he weren’t so busy, he would have met with the crew in person.

Never expected such trouble to arise.

Moreover, what he didn’t expect was that this documentary crew was the "VIP" he entertained last night.

...It’s like floodwaters have rushed into the Dragon King’s Temple.

Mr. Carter even had thoughts of strangling those troublemaking staff members.

"What do you think?"

Nora Scott, who was not participating in the filming, turned and asked Katherine Collins.

"No problem," Katherine Collins thought for a moment and said graciously, "No need for the penalty payment, just follow the contract."

It was clear that Mr. Carter genuinely wasn’t aware of this issue, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.

Ultimately, considering Nora Scott’s connections, Katherine Collins didn’t want to push her luck.

Seeing her so amenable, Mr. Carter immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The matter shouldn’t be delayed.

With the issue resolved smoothly, while Katherine Collins and others set up their equipment, Nora Scott pulled Mr. Carter aside.

"Miss Scott, do you have any other instructions?" Mr. Carter asked anxiously.

"There’s something..."

Nora Scott leisurely finished her request.

Mr. Carter blinked, seeing Nora Scott’s calm expression, feeling somewhat ashamed.

However, the old museum owner had already said that everything should follow Nora Scott’s lead. Although this matter wasn’t entirely ethical, the other party wasn’t exactly ethical either, so it was a matter of treating others as they treated people.

"Okay, I’ll make sure it’s done,"

Mr. Carter readily nodded.

Nora Scott slightly narrowed her eyes.

Trump Puppet Museum, performance hall, backstage.

The guests were learning the evening’s performance routines under the guidance of the puppeteers, repeating the movements over and over, coordinating with each other, struggling immensely.

Finally, the rest break arrived, giving the guests a chance to catch their breath. They put aside their tasks and dispersed.

Luna Durant moved to the hallway, avoiding the cameras and crowd, and called her assistant who had just returned.

"What’s the situation?" Luna Durant asked.

"The puppet museum broke the contract and wanted to kick Katherine Collins and them out," the assistant responded, "When I left, the situation was essentially settled."

Hearing the assistant’s accurate report, Luna Durant, with her repeatedly pent-up frustration, finally felt slightly relieved.

"Ha."

Luna Durant chuckled coldly, with a hint of hostility.

Having offended the wrong person, she would let Katherine Collins see what it means to struggle at every step.

Nora Scott delayed for half an hour before bringing Katherine Collins back to the car.

Henry Chapman didn’t blame them, because this Master had already fallen asleep in the car, only slowly waking up when the two got in.
