Chapter 58
The door swung open, and out came a bunch of goons armed with sticks, heading straight for the
studio!
“Smash it up!” they shouted.
And with that, they swung their sticks at the studio. They were all so aggressive and
intimidating that everyone was scared shitless, and passersby were throwing them curious looks.
Brittany was about to answer some questions when she saw theming and her face turned pale.
“Hannah, move!” she yelled.
Hannah was standing with her back to them, oblivious to the danger. Brittany quickly pulled her aside,
but not before getting hit on the arm with a stick. The pain made her gasp!
These guys were clearly prepared. A few swings and the sign were smashed. One of the goons in the
back was carrying a bucket of pig’s blood, which he promptly dumped all over Brittany.
“Let’s see if you dare to giarize again!”
“Loraine is not one to be messed with!”
“Get out of Imperial City!”
Brittany was covered in pig’s blood; the stench was unbearable. The sound of shattering ss
resounded in her ears, she felt as if her soul had been sucked out, standing there in shock.
Hannah and the others finally reacted and tried to stop the goons. They were hurling insults, so
Hannah picked up a stick and swung it at them. “Get out or we’re calling the cops!”
On such a festive day, they had the nerve to cause trouble!
This reeked of a setup!
William stepped forward, took off his jacket, and draped it over Brittany. He pulled out his phone and
dialed 911.
The goons tried to make a run for it when they saw the police being called, but Hannah blocked them,
swinging her stick. Chaos ensued.
Brittany’s vision was a sea of red. Her arm throbbed with pain, but her heart hurt more. She turned
around to see the studio she had painstakingly decorated, destroyed. It was like a tornado had swept
through, all traces of her hard work, shattered. Ignoring the pig’s blood on her, William picked her up
and rushed her to the hospital.

“Mr. Salter, you okay?”
Nathan tapped on the table, reminding Isaac that he had been spacing out for the third time. He noticed
that Isaac seemed distracted. Was it because of Ms. Dustin’s studio opening today?
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Isaac snapped back to reality and cleared his throat. “Sorry, let’s continue.”
Meanwhile, Loraine and Sydney arrived at Grandeur Capital. They were not stopped and went straight
to the meeting room.
The secretary recognized them and said. “Mr. Salter is in a meeting, please wait a moment.”
Sydney was not willing to wait. “Do you know who we are? I am his cousin. Tell him I want to see him
now!”
The secretary didn’t dare to offend Sydney, but neither did she dare to let them in without permission.
Loraine had always disliked Sydney’s high profile and felt a little embarrassed. If she knew, she
wouldn’t have brought her!
Just as they were at a standstill, Nathan came out of the meeting room. Sydney quickly. grabbed his
arm, “Nathan, where’s Zac?”
Nathan pulled his arm free. “Ms. Ramsey, Mr. Salter is in a meeting.”
“Tell Zac that Loraine is here. We have something important to discuss.”
Nathan wasn’t too fond of Sydney, who was often snobbish and caused trouble because of her family
background.
“Ms. Ramsey, please wait.”
After getting Sydney’s message, Isaac didn’t take it seriously. He signed the contract and only then did
he signal for them toe in.
Sydney and Loraine entered the meeting room.
“Zac.” Sydney, who had been so arrogant before, was now gentle and obedient.
The secretary behind them was speechless… Such acting skills, she could win an Oscar!
Isaac was reviewing some documents. He took off his sses and said coolly, “What is it?”
Sydney walked up in her high heels, “Zac, do you remember the woman who giarized Loraine?”
