Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Shattered Worldviews
"Gregory, please give me one more chance. I promise I’ll never do this again..."
Holly Houston rushed to Gregory Gibbons again, trying to make him forgive her this time for old times’ sake.
Even if the engagement was to be broken, it absolutely couldn’t be at this critical moment, or else her reputation would be completely ruined.
"Holly Houston, at this critical moment, you still only think about yourself, it’s truly disgusting."
Seeing her hand on his arm again, Gregory quickly pushed her away.
The Houston Family couldn’t stand seeing their daughter being treated so disgracefully and stepped forward to defend her.
The Gibbons Family, worried their son would suffer, also quickly joined the fray.
In an instant, the living room turned into utter chaos.
Old Master Houston, unable to watch any longer, slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.
With such a loud noise, everyone stopped their actions simultaneously and looked at Old Master Houston.
"Enough, if the engagement is to be broken, then let it be broken. Regarding the things Holly has done, our Houston Family will make the appropriate compensations!"
Old Master Houston’s words allowed Gregory’s family to breathe a sigh of relief.
But it left the other members of the Houston Family extremely dissatisfied.
Especially Holly Houston: "Grandpa, how can you break the engagement at this time?"
The Houston Family chimed in one after another.
"Yes, Old Master, if Holly breaks the engagement now, everything will really be ruined."
"I say, didn’t Gregory also have a past with someone from Wisteria TV? Now Holly had her moment too; they’re even."
The Houston Family’s shocking remarks were ultimately rebutted by Old Master Houston.
"With both families so hostile now, how could they ever be happy even if they married?"
The other members of the Houston Family were immediately silenced.
Indeed, with Gregory’s earlier insistence on strangling Holly, even if they were married, a tragedy might occur.
Thus, during the following discussions about breaking the engagement and negotiating compensation, they dared not speak up easily again.
Though Holly Houston didn’t verbally object, she was seething inside.
She secretly vowed to elevate "Competition Dance" to a new level, making Gregory’s family regret immensely.
After finishing the discussions on breaking the engagement and compensation, and seeing Gregory’s family off, Old Master Houston suddenly looked coldly at Holly.
"You have only one last chance."
Holly Houston stiffened at his words.
She knew that her grandfather wouldn’t help her handle all these affairs for no reason.
Yet today, not only did he help her handle the breaking of the engagement and the compensation, but he also pressured Gregory’s family into agreeing to delay announcing the breaking of the engagement for two months, preserving her reputation to the greatest extent.
It seems she guessed right.
What Grandpa cares most about is the interest of the Houston Family and the future of Westmarch Television.
So, in helping to manage these issues and preserve her reputation, he still hoped she would make "Competition Dance" the number one entertainment brand in the country.
"I will definitely make ’Competition Dance’ the most popular variety show in the country."
"Very well, I will have the video deleted as soon as possible, don’t disappoint me. Otherwise..."
Old Master Houston left the rest of the sentence unsaid.
But Holly Houston knew that once she let Grandfather down completely, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to work outside in the future, only becoming a tool for the family’s arranged marriages.
"I won’t disappoint you."
Holly Houston, not wanting to become a tool, hastily vowed confidently.
As for getting the show done well?
It shouldn’t be a problem.
After all, the last two episodes were already completed.
As long as they air smoothly, she will command the entirety of the domestic variety entertainment scene.
