Avained to Brian, saying. “You were busy with work and didn’t have time toe to the set, so


    I came over to help you supervise. As soon as I arrived, I saw Grace sleeping on the chair. I went up


    and said a few words to her. but who knew that Nancy would hit me as soon as she camel”


    Avapletely ignored the part where she kicked Grace. She said pitifully, “Brian, Ms. Patel must hate


    me for recing her after she was fired! That’s why she hit me on purposel


    Nancy sneered and stood up from her chair. “Ava, I’m not as petty as you think. You know very well


    why I hit you! If you hadn’t deliberately pushed Grace to the ground and kicked her, would I have hit


    you?”


    Ava retorted, “I only touched her lightly! She deliberately fell to the ground! She was sleeping on the


    set. What’s wrong with me giving her a kick? Did you have to hit me so hard? You definitely did it on


    purpose!”


    Enraged, Nancy wanted to teach Ava a lesson again. However, Grace stopped her.


    Grace said, “Ava, you’re really good at distorting the truth. If I were Nancy, I would beat you up so badly


    that even your mother wouldn’t recognize you! To stay by Brian’s side, you plotted to get Nancy fired for


    buying the wrong ne ticket! Your little tricks can only fool a blind person like Brian!”


    After saying that, Grace red at Brian.


    Brian frowned slightly. He was facing the light, so Grace could not see his expression. However, she


    could feel the cold aura emanating from him.


    Ava looked at Brian and said pitifully, “Brian, don’t listen to her nonsense. Nancy deliberately came


    here to sow discord because she felt wronged from being fired by you!”


    Brian looked at her coldly andmanded, “Shut up. Let’s go back to the hotel.”


    “Wait!” Nancy called out to Ava.


    “Are you nning to leave just like that after bullying Grace? Apologize to her immediately!” ordered


    Nancy as she red at Ava coldly.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Ava looked aggrieved and pitiful as she stared at Brian. “Brian, look, she hit me and even asked me to


    apologize! They’ve gone too far!”


    Nancy reasoned, “I hit you to seek justice for myself. You bullied Grace, so you have to apologize to


    her.”


    Nancy blocked Ava’s way, showing no intention of letting Ava go until she apologized to Grace.


    Ava hid behind Brian and looked at him with puppy eyes. She pleaded, “Brian…”

    Grace nced at Brian coldly and met his dark gaze. She seemed to be waiting for him to say


    something.


    Grace wondered whether Brian would protect Ava as he did in the vi or he would make Ava


    apologize to her.


    Brian looked at Grace’s cold and emotionless gaze. His mind was filled with the scene of her smiling at


    Justin two days ago.


    Brian took two steps forward and saw the dark circles under Grace’s eyes. He frowned and said in a


    low voice, “If you didn’t sleep well, you should have taken leave to rest in the hotel. Who asked you to


    come to the set?”


    Grace thought, ‘So, is he using me now?‘


    Brian chided, “Nobody wants to see your pale, sleep–deprived face. Go back to the hotel. If people see


    you like this, they’ll think that I’ve been abusing you.”


    Grace sneered. Sheughed at herself for thinking too highly of Brian.


    She slowly turned around and walked back to the chair beside the director. She sat down and said, “I’m


    sorry, Director. I identally fell asleep just now. Which scene were we at?”


    Brian was so enraged by her actions that his chest heaved violently. He stared at her back for a long


    time before his phone rang. Brian answered the call and turned around to return to the hotel.
