“She’ll return to the Joneson Family in the future, so you’d better watch your behavior. Don’t hold agrudge against her.”

At that moment, Frank’s mind was a mess. “I got it.”

She’s my cousin. This is interesting.

On the other hand, Elspeth was raging at the thought of her snobbish brother.

Blake noticed her dissatisfaction and secretly rejoiced at that, but he pretended to be furious. “That’salright. That guy has such a bad temper. We won’t have to see him again from now on.”

“It doesn’t matter. This isn’t important. By the way, is this your first day back at work after the break?Did the director speak to you on the phone?”

He frowned in response. “He called to speak to me right from the start. He urged me to go back on setearly this morning. He’s such a nuisance.”

“Alright. Let’s make a move right now and join the filming set ASAP.” Elspeth noticed that he wasunwilling to go, so she urged him to head over.

“Okay.”

Both of them joined the filming set, and this was the first time that she had stepped foot on a filmingset. Although she interacted with some movie stars and their managers previously, she had nevervisited a filming

set.

They arrived to replace that there was an ongoing scene. As soon as the director saw Blake, hisexpression immediately brightened up. “You’re here at last, boy! I wouldn’t be able to film this scenewithout you. I was so worried you would quit the set!”

“You’re just exaggerating, Mr. Thorn.” Blake went along politely.

Suddenly, the director’s gaze landed on Elspeth, who was by Blake’s side, and he revealed a strangeexpression. “Who’s this lady here? She looks familiar.”

“She’s my newly appointed manager. Her name’s Elspeth.”

As a director, he usually paid attention to the trending topics on the Internet, so he naturally knew hervarious identities. He sincerely admired this young lady’s capabilities. As he looked at her stunningfeatures, he could not help feeling a flutter in his heart.

“Miss Lynwood.” With a smile, he stretched out a hand to her. Although Elspeth was slightly unwilling toshake

The director furtively tickled her palm while everyone was unaware. At that point, she could not containthe disgust that welled within her and swiftly retracted her hand.

“Miss Lynwood, I hope we’ll be able to work well from now on.” The director felt his heart skip a beatupon noticing her furrowed brows and icy-cold expression. It would be very exciting to conquer awoman like her.

Elspeth could not stand the lust on the director’s face, so she came up with a random excuse and tooka seat by

the side.

As for Blake, he went ahead to film the scene.

While she sat on a rock by the lake and spaced out, a figure suddenly approached her. She had noteven taken a good look at the person when she was shoved into the lake out of nowhere.

Plop! The huge splash naturally attracted the attention of the people around. The extras on set yelledout that someone had fallen into the water, so the filming team instantly halted the shoot.

Blake ran over frantically and noticed Elspeth was resting in this area earlier on but could not see her insight.

Therefore, he immediately deduced that she was the one who had fallen into the water.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was in a tough situation inside the lake. Truth be told, she was not afraid to fall intothe lake as she was a good swimmer and able to swim back to the shore. Yet, coincidentally, her legcramped upon plunging into the water, so it took her a huge effort to get out of the lake. Suppressingthe pain, she could not help but choke repeatedly on the lake water.

Just as she thought she was about to sink, she felt a pair of hands lift her body and swam toward theedge of

the lake with her in tow.

Blake carried her to the shore and removed his shirt to cover her upon noticing that she was drippingwet.

At that moment, the director rushed over with a frantic look. “Send her over to the lounge to take a rest.She can also take a shower to avoid catching a cold.”

Blake considered the director’s words for a moment, then took Elspeth in his arms and carried her tothe lounge.

Behind him, the director smiled with a flash of cunning glint in his eyes.

“Elspeth, I need to carry on with the filming. Stay here for a short while, and you can take a shower too.There are plenty of clothes you can change into, and they’re clean. Feel free to pick any.” Blake placedher on the bed and gave her some instructions patiently.

Elspeth had mainly choked on some water and was already feeling fine, so she nodded in response.

After he left the room, she took a shower and got changed before resting on the bed. She remained onguard, for she locked the door from the inside.

from the outside.

Elspeth groaned silently upon seeing the director at the door. “Is there something you need, Mr.Thorn?” Despite her fluster, she put on a nonchalant act.

“Miss Lynwood, I do enjoy your haughty look. I wonder how you’d look like when you’re pinnedunderneath a

man in bed…”

As soon as he imagined himself in that scenario with a powerless Elspeth, he could not seem tosuppress the urges that raged within him. After all, men tended to enjoy a contradictory situation, andhe was not exempted

either.

“Mr. Thorn, I hope you’re aware of your identity, and it would be disastrous to your reputation if wordwent ou that you assaulted a woman.”

She had some slight recollection of this director, and he was renowned for being a noble andupstanding figure in the entertainment industry. However, it was unexpected that this man appeared sofriendly and affable on the surface but was actually, in private, so immoral.

“I don’t care. You don’t have any proof anyway. Besides, this is my turf, so do you seriously thinksomeone would stop me from having my way with you? Oh, there’s another thing that I don’t mindtelling you too. I arranged for someone to shove you into the lake earlier on. I’m sure that you didn’texpect this, huh? Had he not done that, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to spend some private timewith you…

The director glanced at the captivating Elspeth in front of him and could no longer contain himself as he

pounced on her.

She dodged by retreating and grabbed a vase by the side. Subsequently, she smashed it to theground.

The loud sound of the broken vase was ear-shattering, but the director was undaunted.

“What’s wrong? Why did you do that? Be careful because you might hurt your dainty, delicate hands.”The director revealed a sardonic smile. “I’ve modified this room with excellent soundproof, so no onewould be able to hear a thing from the outside.”

As soon as Elspeth heard that, she instantly realized that this director was a beast and must haveassaulted other women in this room too.

She took out her phone and dialed randomly, but the director suddenly grabbed it and hung up the callbefore flinging her phone to the ground, after which she angrily kicked him on the shin.

“You’re strong, aren’t you? It doesn’t matter, though, because I’m well-trained. You wouldn’t be able tooverpower me unless you’re as strong as two strapping men. Miss Lynwood, you should just surrenderto me..” The director pounced on her and started to tear her clothes. For a moment there, both of themfought violently.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

rage as he grabbed the director and punched him in the face.

Elspeth straightened her clothes before standing up with an icy-cold expression. “I’m fine. Call thecops.”

At that point, a look of extreme fear flashed across the director’s eyes. How is that possible?! I hung upthe call immediately just now! How could someone appear so soon?!
