Unfortunately for Lucas, Minerva had been overly generous when drafting his deal, charmed by his sweet words and self-assured charm, which was also one of the reasons Rafael's anger toward him ran so deep.
That generosity had now backfired spectacularly. The breach penalty alone amounted to fifty million, and Rafael couldn't help but sneer in satisfaction. Even in Lucas's downfall, he found a way to squeeze some use out of that despicable man.
Still, Rafael wasn't entirely at fault. Minerva had only approved such favorable terms because she genuinely believed in Lucas's talent. But the moment he committed plagiarism, a deliberate act, he not only destroyed his own reputation but dragged Star Ocean Entertainment's name through the mud along with him.
