Chapter 9
Apart from these little interruptions from Nora,
the work on the set went smoothly, and we finished filming half a day ahead of schedule.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I live by the principle of settling
scores.
Just when I was looking for Nora, she appeared on her own.
Wiolet, stop acting so high and mighty! Without Vincent, you’re nothing but a useless actress,” she sneered.
I looked at her coldly and replied, “And what about you? What are you? As an actress, you can’t even respect yourself, demeaning your own profession. Is this how low your self–worth is?”
“I didn’t want to make things hard for you, Nora.”
Nearby, the actors who were wrapping up also overheard her mockery.
Everyone in this industry, apart from earning a living, has dreams.
When they heard her words, coupled with her sudden arrival,
they naturally started to dislike her, as if they wanted to burn holes through her with their stares.
“What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Keep staring, and I’ll have Mr. Howard fire all of you!”
Nora, sensing the anger from everyone, retorted defiantly.
But her body betrayed her–she quickly turned to leave.
“Wait.” I stopped her.
Then, as she turned around, I swiftly slapped her twice across the face.
*Slap!* *Slap!*
Don’t joke with me. I come from an action film background; I’m no saint.
she hit me, she should expect double the return!

“I’ll tell you this, women like you who only know how to seduce men and make money lying down are what I call ‘actresses.‘ Don’t think all actors are like you, unable to step onto the stage.”
Nora’s face instantly turned red and swollen.
“Wait until I get back at you! Don’t forget, I’m carrying Damian’s child! The Howard family won’t let you off!”
“As far as I know, you haven’t seen Damian for a long time, have you?”
“And who owns the car parked outside my door? Who’s in that car?” I took out my phone and showed her the surveillance footage.
ora was so furious she almost lost her mind: “Bitch! What tricks did you use? You’re still trying to seduce my man!”
She raised her hand to slap me.
But someone grabbed her wrist and shoved her away.
“We only acknowledge the child, not your identity. Who gave you permission to represent the Howard family?”
“Since I’m in a good mood, I suggest you get lost. The farther, the better.”
I was surprised and turned to look at Vincent standing beside me. “What are you doing here?”
“My fiancée is starting work on her first day. Of course, I’m here to take
you home.
