Chapter 570


    Was it just Allison’s imagination, or was Hudson inching closer to her with every passing moment?


    A subtle rm bell rang in her head as she shifted discreetly to the side. “I’m sorry,” she said with a hint


    of reservation. “If my issue has caused thepany any trouble, I truly apologize.”


    Hudson, ever so casual, took out his phone. “I’m sure Patty must’ve mentioned it, but your case is a bit


    tricky,” he said, scrolling through his device.


    Allison frowned. “How? Patty didn’t say anything.”


    Hudson looked like a gentleman on first nce. He was in his forties, slightly round in the belly, yet still


    in better shape than most middle-aged men. But when he smiled, it was very lewd. Allison was a little


    uneasy, especially after overhearing gossip about his inappropriate conduct with female actresses in


    the break room.


    Under the table, her fingers were busy texting Emma for help, hoping she would reach out to Patty.


    Hudson’s phone now disyed several photos, and Allison’s heart skipped a beat. They were those


    ambiguous shots of Penelope. “Mr. Sears,” she said. Her voice was steady and firm. “You’re mistaken.


    That’s not me in those photos. I’ll clear this up at a press conference in three days.”


    “Not you?” Hudson feigned surprise, reaching out to circle an arm around Allison. “You know, Epic


    Entertainment has treated you quite well since you joined. We’ve given you top-notch opportunities. But


    this scandal? It’s damaging our reputation.”


    “Mr. Sears,” Allison replied. Her patience was wearing thin. “I’ll exin everything in three days.”


    Disgusted, she stood up and brushed off his hand. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”


    She didn’t get far before his hand snatched her waist, throwing her back onto the couch. “ying the


    innocent, huh? A slut like you trying to act like a saint? You have slept with so many men, but now


    you’re ying innocent and shy with me!”


    Allison sank into the soft cushions, struggling as Hudson pinned her down by the shoulders. Hisugh


    was growing more lecherous by the second. “Struggle for me, I love it. Did you know I’ve had my eye


    on you since you started here at Epic? You’re so tempting, Allison. Those guys can’t satisfy you, but I


    can. Stick with me, and you’ll have all the resources you want at Epic. A luxury brand endorsement,

    perhaps? Just obey me, and it’s all yours.”


    As he fumbled with his belt, Allison saw her chance and kneed him hard.


    Had Emma received her text? Miguel was just outside, so escaping on her own seemed impossible. It


    was 8 PM, and Epic Entertainment was nearly deserted. Even if she screamed for help, who would


    dare confront Mr. Sears on her behalf?


    Hudson howled in agony, clutching his groin. His eyes were filled with fury. “Damn bitch!” He lunged at


    her, yanking her hair back viciously. “Struggle! I love to it.”


    Allison gritted her teeth. “Hudson, respect yourself. You want to sleep with me? I’m afraid you’re out of


    your league!”
