Chapter 88


    As Sam ranted, a hint of confusion shed in Vinson’s eyes. He instinctively looked at Arielle, who was


    still conversing with Jordan. Then he patiently asked Sam, “What’s happened?” In mere seconds,


    Sam’s voice roared from the phone. “She’s the female lead of this disaster film, yet sheined


    about her makeup being hideous. Then she beautified her makeup without consulting me or any of the


    film crew members! Need I exin more?


    We’re filming a disaster film! How can our female lead escape life-threatening obstacles in full-on


    costume and makeup? Even if we let that slide, another issue arose earlier. She just refused to


    cooperate in filming the close-up stunt scenes! She whined about the harness being too ufortable


    to wear, then demanded a stunt double. Can you believe this? It’s a close-up, for mercy’s sake!” Vinson


    could already sense Sam’s erupting anger from the phone.


    However, he cast a subtle frown at Arielle after hearing thest part that Sam mentioned. “What did you


    say… earlier? Just refused? When did this happen?” “Seconds ago. Right before I called you.”


    “Seconds?” Vinson realized that something was off. He contemted for a moment before asking,


    “What’s the actress’ name?” Sam replied, “Shannie. Short for Shandie


    Southall.” Shannie… Sannie… Vinson’s frown intensified as he finally put the pieces together.


    Now, he understood why Arielle said she wanted to star in a movie. He also realized why Sam was


    mad at Arielle’s outrageous demands on set. Because that’s not Arielle who’s on set—it’s f*cking


    Shandie! “That b*tch,” Vinson cursed in a growling voice. Sam was confused at this. Before he could


    ask what was wrong, Vinson ended the call. Elsewhere, Shandie’s dramatic whines filled the set. “I


    already told you. I want a stunt double!


    Pronto! Get me a stunt double, or I’ll have Nightshire Group withdraw their investment in this film!” Sam


    massaged his temples before tossing the script aside. Then he snarled in response to Shandie, “That’s


    it. I quit!” At the Jupiters’ residence. Arielle was enthusiastically chatting away with Jordan. Between


    them, Harvey was brimming with rivalry and kept interjecting their conversation. Truthfully, Arielle only


    wanted to borrow a car and be on her merry way.

    However, she didn’t get the chance to do it. Just as she was getting desperate, she noticed Vinson


    from the corner of her eye. He stormed over to her with a grim expression. A momentter, Jordan was


    no longer standing before Arielle. Vinson had shoved him away and was clutching Arielle’s hand. He


    ordered, “Come with me!” Then he led Arielle out of the Jupiters’ home before she could react. “Wait!”


    Jordan and Harvey yelled in unison at once.


    Just as they were going after Vinson, Carter extended his arms and blocked them. “Seriously…” Carter


    knitted his brows and asked, “Have you forgotten that we have important matters to attend to?” Right


    then, Jordan and Harvey remembered that the unconscious assassin was currently on his way to the


    private hospital. At the same time, Vinson had brought Arielle onto his car. “Where are you taking me?”


    Arielle hissed in pain as she massaged her reddened wrist. Must he be so forceful?


    He yanks my wrist tightly every time! Beside her, Vinson frowned at the redness around Arielle’s


    wrist. Is she made of fine china or something? How can she be so fragile? All I did was grab her wrist


    lightly. Although, she does resemble fine china in some ways; she’s got the curves of a teapot, and her


    skin is so smooth…


    His thoughts ran wild. The way Vinson daydreamed about her made Arielle shift ufortably in the


    front passenger seat. She hid her wrist and asked once again, “Where are you taking me? If there’s


    nothing urgent, I’d like to go home now.” At this, Vinson’s gaze drew away from her wrist andnded on


    her porcin-like face instead.


    He stared for a second before responding with a question of his own, “Do you want to be an actress?”


    “What?” Arielle asked while wide-eyed. Vinson replied casually, “I seem to have messed up some


    things. You and I are heading over to correct them.”
