Chapter 225

Alice glanced at the doorway, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. It was time to end this. She knew Blake’s personality; if she didn’t submit, he’d never stop. Now that she had the clues from Ethan, she wouldn’t hesitate.

That night, they filmed the outdoor scene in an abandoned building. The scene depicted the villainous female supporting character luring the heroine into danger, only for the hero to save the day.

After filming, Alice waited to get her makeup removed but was completely ignored by the makeup artist. The crew’s animosity was palpable. Chloe’s whispers were undoubtedly fueling the situation, but Alice didn’t care. She wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry anyway. When everyone had left, Alffe had to remove her own makeup. As she prepared to leave, Blake appeared, his face grim.

“Alice! Stop right there!” His voice was dangerous. “I heard you’ve gathered dirt on me, planning to expose me and ruin my career?”

He held

held a stun gun, and Alice backed away cautiously.“Who told you that? “It doesn’t matter. I’m going to teach you a lesson. Don’t run, or you’ll regret it.” Alice turned and ran. Blake wasn’t alone; ten tattooed goons were with him. The crew had long gone, leaving them alone in the abandoned building.

*Alice, you can’t escape. Just apologize, and I’ll go easy on you,” Blake sneered, his tone dripping with menace. “But if you run, don’t blame me.”

Alice was cornered. Turning to face Blake, she said, ‘So, all these years, you’re still the same? resorting to violence whenever things don’t go your way.”

“When you were disobedient as a kid, I beat you for your own good,” he said, advancing slowly, the stun gun glinting in his hand. He sneered. Run. Why don’t you run?” Alice’s voice was steady. “You’re a huge star now. Are you not worried about the scandal?” “As long as those things don’t get out, I’m untouchable,” he said. He approached her.“This beating is a lesson. You’ve been causing so much trouble at home while I was away. Don’t you think you’ve done wrong?”

“I haven’t done anything wrong. Alice retorted.

Before she finished, Blake struck. Alice fell, clutching her arm. They’re the ones breaking the law What does that have to do with me?”
