Chapter 1067
“None of my business? Karina, had | not run into you today, what would have been your next move after sharing a drink with
him? If he demanded you to sleep with him for the role, would you haveplied?”
His normally twinkling eyes were devoid of their usual mirth. Barlow raised his hand, gripping Karina’s chin tightly, his teeth
gritted.
Fury welled within Karina. She forcefully shrugged off his grip, yelling, “I’m not a fool. | wouldn’t stoop so low as to sleep with him
for a role!”
Barlow scoffed, “You''re the biggest fool of all!”
His words wereced with mockery, pushing Karina to the brink of tears.
“Yes, | am a fool. If | wasn’t, would | have been deceived by you?”
Taking note of Karina’s slightly reddened eyes, Barlow checked his harsh words, a glimmer of restraint flickering in his gaze.

His voice, thick with emotion, murmured the pet name he had assigned her.

Curling her fingers, Karina mentally chastised herself for being foolish once more.
Her sense of injustice morphed into frustration. She retorted, “Fine, | may be a fool. But you’re hardly any better. Without me, you
would''ve been bankrupt by now.”
Hearing this, Barlow looked taken aback, his eyes narrowing in puzzlement.
“What are you implying?”
Fixing him with her stare, Karina dered, “Aren’t you being targeted by Brian? Barlow, did you do something to Rosalynn
again?”
Could Karina be aware that he was being thwarted by Brian?
Blinking subtly, Barlow deflected her question with one of his own.
