Chapter 256

Alexander Grant's slender fingers lightly pinched Susan Thompson's fingertips, his lips curling into an amused smirk. "Being a kept man isn't so bad."

"After tonight's shoot, join me for late-night snacks."

Just as Susan opened her mouth to refuse, he decided for her. "That barbecue stall behind your high school."

She absentmindedly touched her empty stomach. Filming really took a lot out of her.

Andrew Lucas' face darkened dangerously. A kept man? Flirting right in front of him?

Vincent King watched coldly, his knuckles turning white. This venomous woman had truly mastered the art of seduction.

Alexander suddenly turned to Sean Stapleton. "That bag on the ground—your limited edition design?"

Following his gaze, Sean nearly jumped out of his skin. "Boss! How dare they slap our LX logo on this trash? Look at this cheap leather! These crooked stitches! The counterfeiters didn't even try!"

Mocking laughter rippled across the set.

Heidi Young turned deathly pale. The "half-million-dollar limited edition" she'd been flaunting turned out to be fake.

"Zack Howard!" she shrieked. "You swore this was authentic!"

Zack broke out in a cold sweat. With his family drowning in debt, where would he get money for real luxury bags?

"I... I got it through a friend..." he stammered.

Patrick Pope stepped forward leisurely, reciting a string of numbers. "Howard Group liabilities: 35.1 billion. Personal debts of Zack Mingxian..."

Zack's legs gave out, collapsing to his knees. The Grant heir was about to turn his family estate into a pig farm!

"Miss Thompson! My mistake!" He yanked Heidi forward. "Apologize now!"

Heidi pouted her chest, batting her lashes at Alexander. "Mr. Grant, I really did get hurt when she bumped into me..."

Alexander's face twisted in disgust. "Last chance. Who hit whom?"

The false witness immediately changed his tune. "Heidi crashed into Miss Thompson!"

"Apologize." Alexander's voice could freeze hell.

Zack forcibly pushed Heidi's head into a bow.

Director Cyrus' voice called for filming to resume. Alexander pulled Susan toward the set.

In the makeup room, Susan's face burned hotter as she read the script. Forced kisses. Bed scenes. Non-consensual advances... The scenes were far too explicit!

She suddenly wanted to flee.
