Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 139 Zero Toleration for Assault on the Set

At this moment. Simon was very angry, so the words he said were naturally unfiltered and not pleasing to hear. Erin couldn’t find the words

to counter what he said.

Seeing her bowing her head and not saying a word, Simon forcefully let go of her hand. Deep within his heart, he looked down on the way Erin chose to keep quiet and not stand up for herself. If he hadn’t arrived in time. Erin might have been sexually assaulted by the masked man. He despised Erin’s attitude of wanting to cover things up and not cause trouble. It made him furious!

One minute later, Simon forcefully kicked open the door to Roman’s dressing room.

Roman and his makeup artist, Donny, were about to leave the dressing room. They looked at Simon, who had intruded suddenly and quite rudely, with disapproving expressions.

“Haven’t you heard of knocking? Why on earth did you barge in like a bull?” Roman looked at this unexpected guest impassively.

Simon didn’t have a good impression of Roman to start with. Not only were their rumors about him and Erin, but he had also heard about his ex–girlfriend, Megan, repeatedly buttering up to Roman. Coupled with how Roman had previously mocked him over the phone on Erin’s behalf when he broke up with Megan, Simon naturally held a grudge against him. He could now use Erin’s incident as a valid reason to confront Roman, so he wasn’t going to miss out on this opportunity.

His eyes narrowed as he glared at Roman. “Answer me this, Roman. If a female actress on the set is kidnapped and almost violated, how should this be handled?”

Outside the door, Erin’s cheeks burned bright red. This kind of incident would make any woman feel deeply embarrassed. Although the attempt was unsuccessful it was still a criminal case nonetheless.

Simon had asked the question quite loudly in the dressing room. As the door was still open, it attracted shocked glances from the crew members who were nearby. Roman’s heart sank, and his gaze instinctively shifted to Erin, who was standing outside the door.

He observed that her complexion was somewhat pale, and she had a conflicted expression. Based on Erin’s state of discomfort, Roman immediately deduced that the victimized actress was likely Erin!

A sudden wave of fear washed over his heart. Roman calmly walked over, took hold of Erin’s hand, and pulled her into the dressing room. On the other hand, Simon looked on coldly, waiting for Roman to speak.

Roman calmly instructed, “Donny, go and inform the director that we have something important to discuss here. Tell him that we’ll temporarily pause the filming.”
