Chapter 6

Shane poured her a glass of juice, looking at her in disbelief. "You're clear-headed now? You've finally given up on Jenson?"

"Yeah," Suzanne responded lightly, taking a sip.

She had spent ten years with Jenson-ten long years of her life. Much of Jenson's current success was owed to her.

She had an unmatched eye for scripts, her instincts sharper than anyone else's in the industry. Every film Jenson starred in had been carefully vetted by her, each one turning into a blockbuster. But Jenson had never once acknowledged her contributions. Even when his fans attacked her relentlessly, Jenson never stood up for her.

Shane slapped the table in approval. "Good riddance! A guy who can't publicly acknowledge or stand up for you? He's not worth it."

Suzanne paused, caught off guard, before breaking into a laugh.

He was right. Everyone else had seen it clearly from the start while she had blinded herself for far too long.

Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Suzanne sat up straighter and changed the subject. "So, what's this emergency about?"

Hearing her tone shift, Shane immediately got serious. "You've heard of the Alvarez family's heir, right?"

Suzanne raised an eyebrow. "The Alvarez family? The one just second to the Hall family?"

Shane nodded quickly. "Yep, that Alvarez family. And I'm talking about Alan Alvarez."

Suzanne's interest piqued. "Go on."

The Alvarez family wasn't an enemy of the Hall family. In fact, the two families had a solid business relationship. Helping them out could earn her a valuable favor.

Shane hesitated for a moment, his expression turning a little strange. He cleared his throat. "You might not believe this, but Alan Alvarez has developed some sort of bizarre condition. During severe episodes, he has an uncontrollable urge to drink blood. His temper becomes volatile, almost explosive."

Suzanne frowned. "Drinking blood?"

"Exactly," Shane confirmed with a nod. "It's been going on for a while now, and no one's been able to figure out the cause. The situation is getting worse."
