Chapter 122
“She’ll return to the Joneson Family in the future, so you’d better watch your behavior. Don’t hold a
grudge 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.
ke noticed her dissatisfaction and secretly rejoiced at that, but he pretended to be furious. “That’s
alright. 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 set
early 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 was
unwilling 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 filming
set. Although she interacted with some movie stars and their managers previously, she had never
visited a filming
set.
They arrived to find that there was an ongoing scene. As soon as the director saw ke, his
expression immediately brightened up. “You’re here atst, boy! I wouldn’t be able to film this scene
without you. I was so worried you would quit the set!”
“You’re just exaggerating, Mr. Thorn.” ke went along politely.
Suddenly, the director’s gazended on Elspeth, who was by ke’s side, and he revealed a strange
expression. “Who’s thisdy 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 Inte, so he naturally knew her
various identities. He sincerely admired this youngdy’s capabilities. As he looked at her stunning
features, 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 to
shake
LI- Lad
The director furtively tickled her palm while everyone was unaware. At that point, she could not contain
the 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 beat
upon noticing her furrowed brows and icy-cold expression. It would be very exciting to conquer a
woman like her.
Elspeth could not stand the lust on the director’s face, so she came up with a random excuse and took
a seat by
the side.
As for ke, he went ahead to film the scene.
While she sat on a rock by theke and spaced out, a figure suddenly approached her. She had not
even taken a good look at the person when she was shoved into theke out of nowhere.
Plop! The huge ssh naturally attracted the attention of the people around. The extras on set yelled
out that someone had fallen into the water, so the filming team instantly halted the shoot.
ke ran over frantically and noticed Elspeth was resting in this area earlier on but could not see her in
sight.
Therefore, he immediately deduced that she was the one who had fallen into the water.
Meanwhile, Elspeth was in a tough situation inside theke. Truth be told, she was not afraid to fall into
theke as she was a good swimmer and able to swim back to the shore. Yet, coincidentally, her leg
cramped upon plunging into the water, so it took her a huge effort to get out of theke. Suppressing
the pain, she could not help but choke repeatedly on theke water.

Just as she thought she was about to sink, she felt a pair of hands lift her body and swam toward the
edge of
theke with her in tow.
ke carried her to the shore and removed his shirt to cover her upon noticing that she was dripping
wet.
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.”
ke considered the director’s words for a moment, then took Elspeth in his arms and carried her to
the lounge.
Behind him, the director smiled with a sh 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.” ke ced
her 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 on
guard, 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 nonchnt act.

“Miss Lynwood, I do enjoy your haughty look. I wonder how you’d look like when you’re pinned
underneath a
man in bed…”
As soon as he imagined himself in that scenario with a powerless Elspeth, he could not seem to
suppress the urges that raged within him. After all, men tended to enjoy a contradictory situation, and
he was not exempted
either.
“Mr. Thorn, I hope you’re aware of your identity, and it would be disastrous to your reputation if word
went ou that you assaulted a woman.”
She had some slight recollection of this director, and he was renowned for being a noble and
upstanding figure in the entertainment industry. However, it was unexpected that this man appeared so
friendly 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 think
someone would stop me from having my way with you? Oh, there’s another thing that I don’t mind
telling you too. I arranged for someone to shove you into theke earlier on. I’m sure that you didn’t
expect this, huh? Had he not done that, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to spend some private time
with you…
The director nced 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 the
ground.
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 one
would 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 have
assaulted other women in this room too.
She took out her phone and dialed randomly, but the director suddenly grabbed it and hung up the call
before 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 to
overpower me unless you’re as strong as two strapping men. Miss Lynwood, you should just surrender
to me..” The director pounced on her and started to tear her clothes. For a moment there, both of them
fought 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 the
cops.”
At that point, a look of extreme fear shed across the director’s eyes. How is that possible?! I hung up
the call immediately just now! How could someone appear so soon?!
