The Legendary Man Chapter 368

Hijack

She looks even more beautiful than in the photos!

That was Jonathan’s first impression of Yuliana.

In the photos, she looked sexy and enchanting. However, at that moment, she huddled on the couch and looked like a lazy kitten.

Her aura was aloof, and she looked intimidating and unapproachable.

However, Jonathan was still not interested in her. He only shot her a glance before he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a male voice coming from beside him. “Excuse me, mister. Can you switch seats with me?”

“No!” Jonathan replied. He didn’t bother to open his eyes.

“Mister, I have something that I need to discuss with the lady sitting next to you. Please switch seats with me!” After the man heard Jonathan’s rejection, his tone of voice instantly turned cold. Furthermore, he sounded as if he was giving Jonathan an order.

“I said no!”

Jonathan frowned slightly and finally opened his eyes.

The middle-aged man in front of him was dressed in a black suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a well-mannered man, but his attitude was arrogant.

The man looked down at Jonathan as if he wasn’t requesting Jonathan to change seats. Instead, he treated Jonathan as if Jonathan was the one asking for a favor.

“What is wrong with you?” After hearing Jonathan’s reply, the man looked displeased. “I’m just asking you to switch seats with me. It is just a small favor! Besides, it is the same to you no matter where you sit, isn’t it?”

“Jim!”

When Yuliana, who had been huddling on the couch, heard the man’s words, she immediately lost patience and shouted at him. Then, she turned to Jonathan and said, “I’m sorry, mister. My manager is not good with his words. If he offended you, I apologize on his behalf!”

“Yuliana, why are you apologizing to him?” Hearing Yuliana’s apology, her manager, Jim Gilbert, instantly looked grim, and he said, “I’m just asking him to switch seats with me. He had nothing to lose and could easily agree to my request, but he refused. Why are you apologizing to him? In my opinion, he is just an arrogant jerk!”

“Jim!”

Seeing that Jim wouldn’t stop complaining, Yuliana couldn’t help but shoot him a glare. After that, she anxiously turned to Jonathan and said, “Mister, I’m really sorry. I—”

“That’s enough. You don’t have to explain to me!”

Before Yuliana could finish her sentence, Jonathan waved his hand and directly cut her off. “From now on, I don’t want to hear a single word from both of you. Do you understand?”

As soon as he finished his words, he shot them a cold look.

Then, he turned to Jim, who looked bitter, and said, “And you! If you don’t know how to watch your mouth, maybe you should speak less. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to speak for the rest of your life!”

“What do you mean?”

After Jim heard Jonathan’s threats, his expression changed abruptly.

“Haven’t I made myself clear?” Jonathan glanced at Jim coldly and said, “Shut your mouth and get lost!”

Even though the pay was low, it was her only option.

In other people’s eyes, Yuliana was a famous star who was living a fabulous life and had many fans. People would think that she was a megastar. However, she herself knew that she was not a megastar. Instead, she was barely able to maintain her reputation as a B-lister.

At first, she thought that she could rely on her own skills to get famous. However, as time passed, she realized that she only got famous because the entertainment company invested a lot of money in her.

She was only famous when the higher-ups wanted her to be famous. If the higher-ups wanted to destroy her, she would lose her fame in an instant. She might not be able to sign a single endorsement contract!

The price of keeping her fame was to follow all of the higher-ups’ arrangements. She had to sign every endorsement contract that the higher-ups wanted her to, and she was forced to attend every dinner meeting that the higher-ups arranged for her. If the higher-ups wanted her to accompany or sleep with a tycoon or a wealthy man, she had to do as they said.

It was then that she truly experienced the dark side of the entertainment industry!

At first, Yuliana was unwilling to give in and refused to attend the company’s dinner meetings multiple times, let alone sleep with big shots. There was no way she could agree to that.

However, the price that she had to pay for disobeying the higher-ups’ orders was the removal of her endorsements. She couldn’t even join variety shows. For a whole year, the entertainment company didn’t give her any resources.

In the end, she was struggling to even pay her rent.

Without any options left, she applied to terminate her contract with the entertainment company and planned to head to Gronga to start all over. Hence, her trip to Gronga was to test out her options.

If she failed to debut again, she would have no choice but to leave the industry, go home, and become a female streamer.

Just then, Yuliana remembered the day before she left the entertainment company. Her boss had pointed at her nose and said, “Yuliana, let me be clear. Once you leave the company, you will lose everything! Who do you think you are? A megastar? Even if you are a megastar, you will still have to follow the higher-ups’ arrangements and drink and sleep with our clients! How dare you act arrogant in front of me? Yuliana, I’m waiting for the day that you’ll kneel before me and beg me for help!”

As Yuliana thought about that, her eyes reddened. She quickly strode toward the restroom. However, just when she pulled open the curtain, she suddenly felt something sharp pressing against her waist. After that, she heard a hoarse voice coming from behind her. “Don’t move. I’m hijacking this plane!”
