Chapter 143 Cooperative Arrest

Erin’s accusation made Percival freeze on the spol. “What did you say?”

“I’m saying that you were the one who attacked me!”

A flicker of panic flashed across Percival’s eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said, “Erin, the script doesn’t have the line you just said. You were supposed to use a hidden weapon to injure me and then escape-”

Kicking him away, Erin quickly got up. She stared into his eyes and said, “Stop pretending, Percival! I’m certain the man from that day was you! Even though I didn’t see your face clearly at that time, your current expression and the knots on the rope have exposed you!”

A trace of malevolence appeared in his eyes as he said coldly, “Are you delusional? Stop making things up! I agreed to help you with the scene out of kindness, and you come up with this nonsense to slander me!”

Erin retorted loudly, “I’m going to the police! Besides, the suspect who took the blame has already recanted! I believe the investigators will be interested in the new evidence I can provide.”

Seeing that Erin was about to leave as if she were really going to report to the police, Percival anxiously blocked her path. “Erin, I advise you not to do something you’ll regret!”

She could feel that his mental fortress was slowly crumbling away, and one more push could make him confess everything.

Erin scolded mercilessly. “Percival, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! The entertainment industry is truly unfortunate to have scum like you! Even if all the men in the world were dead, I would never be interested in you! Just the sight of you makes me sick! Get lost!”

This barrage of insults infuriated Percival to no end. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Erin. Then, he pushed her to the ground before she could react.

“Who the fuck do you think you are, Erin? Do you think you can look down on me like that? You’re lucky that I even took an interest in you! There are plenty of women who throw themselves at me!” Percival bellowed angrily, getting closer to her.

Erin sat on the ground, pretending to be scared. “I’m warning you. Don’t come any closer!”

The fearful expression in her eyes made Percival smirk. The more scared she was, the more excited he became. He pulled out a peculiar glass bottle from his pocket and grinned wickedly.

“Do you know what this is, Erin? This thing is from Southeast Azores, made specifically for disobedient women like you. Once you drink it, I guarantee you’ll behave like a little lamb!”

“You’re shameless, Percival! Admit it! You were the masked man that day, weren’t you? You’re a cowardly scumbag who has the audacity. to commit a crime but doesn’t have the courage to admit to it! You coward!”

Her provocation pushed Percival over the edge and he started to confess, “That’s right! I was the man who wanted to assault you! Unfortunately, Simon ruined my plan! Erin, even if you know it was me, so what? No one will believe you. Once you drink what’s in my hand, I’ll film you begging me like a bitch to have my way with you-”

After saying that, his eyes turned cold as he walked over to forcefully pour the contents of his hand into Erin’s mouth. Just as he was about to grab Erin’s chin, three men rushed into the artificial cave. They were Roman, Matthew, and Simon.

They came prepared, all dressed in casual clothes suitable for combat. As they surrounded Percival, he finally realized that he’d fallen into
