Chapter 123

The director covered his face with his hand, and despite panicking, he desperately carried on and plotted. “Blake, don’t call the cops. You’ve always wanted to be the lead actor in this film, haven’t you? I’ll give you lead actor spot and promise to include you in every film of mine from now on. Please don’t call the cops!”

However, Blake was not one to be easily bribed. As he saw Elspeth looking worse for wear in front of him, he took his phone and called the cops without hesitating. “You can save these words for the police later on.”

At that point, the director raged. “I’m warning you right now. If you call the cops on me, no way you’ll be able to survive in this industry from then on!”

“Whatever. I don’t mind leaving this industry!” Blake’s grip tightened around the phone.

Yet, Elspeth was bothered by his words. “Blake, you’re being ridiculous.”

He turned around and revealed a tender smile at her. “It’s fine. If I no longer get the chance to star in films or perform, I’ll just go home to inherit the family fortune.”

He said that casually and rather happily, but she noted the flash of pain in his eyes that he tried to mask.

The director was renowned in the entertainment circle, and it would be akin to offending half of the people in this industry by going up against him.

Despite Callum’s influence, the corporate world was a different one from the entertainment industry, so there was no way he could assist Blake.

Still, she did not expect Blake to forsake the industry because of her. She was surprised to learn that he would let his career plunge into ruins.

“Young one, you’re too immature.” The director stood up and revealed a mysterious smile. “None of the policemen in this area would dare to go up against me. Do you think I’d be afraid of you calling the cops?”

Elspeth lifted her brow as she did not expect the director to be in cahoots with the police in this area.

Soon enough, the cops arrived and were stunned as they looked at the three in front of them. One was a renowned director, while the other was the young master of the Winthrop Family, so both individuals were not someone they could offend.

“Mr. Blake Winthrop, you were the one who lodged a police report, right?” The police officers fawned over Blake and revealed flattering smiles.

“Mr. Thorn just assaulted my manager. Nol Actually, it should be considered attempted rape. It was fortunate that I arrived in time to stop him, and that’s how I managed to foil his attempt.” Blake laid out everything clearly, so the police officers had no way of playing dumb. Ultimately, they had no choice but to shoot a

There was no significant change to the director’s expression, for he merely revealed an insincere smile while asking, “You claim that I attempted to rape her, but do you have any proof?”

Proof? Elspeth shot an icy glare at him. “Are you unaware of what you just did?”

The director shrugged and feigned innocence. “But Miss Lynwood, you don’t have any proof at all. If you can show me proof of a voice recording or surveillance footage, then surely, I would not be able to speak so brazenly right now.” 1

He was sure that Elspeth and Blake did not have the proof to nail him, so he showed impudence quite smugly.
