Chapter 7

Simone Milton’s face immediately turned ugly. Although she had already guessed as much in her heart, having those suspicions become reality was still infuriating.

She first took a careful look, clearly trying to figure out who her agent was talking to. Then she turned her body to the side and deliberately lowered her voice to say to Nick Arthur on the other end of the line, “I don’t care what you want to do. I’ve already accepted the role of the female villain. I won’t think about it anymore…”

“No, you don’t really think that a mere supporting role for a female character is enough to satisfy me, do you? If you still refuse to have a proper conversation with me, then tonight, there might be even more revelations about Juliet Milton on the internet! I imagine it’ll be a truly unforgettable online spectacle.” Nick Arthur said with a cold laugh on the other end of the line.

The purpose of his words was quite clear: he was telling Simone Milton that he knew exactly what kind of relationship existed between her and Juliet Milton. If Simone Milton refused to cooperate with him, Juliet Milton’s situation would only become worse.

Nick Arthur said this, convinced that Simone Milton would surely be intimidated by him. Once Simone Milton was intimidated, it would become much easier for him to achieve his goals.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Simone Milton replied through gritted teeth to Nick Arthur, hearing such threatening words. “This is a personal matter between you and me. It has nothing to do with Senior Yan. Why go out of your way to involve innocent people?”

Nick Arthur chuckled softly upon hearing this. He asked Simone Milton, “Are you sure that’s true? Do you really have no connection to Juliet Milton at all? Children who lie must be punished. Are you certain you won’t change your answer?”

Sure enough, he already knew what my relationship with Juliet Milton was! Simone Milton’s face turned pale in an instant due to what Nick Arthur said.

Although she didn’t mind her relationship with Juliet Milton being exposed to others, she still couldn’t help but feel anxious when Nick Arthur used this relationship as a threat against her.

What’s worse, she knew she couldn’t deny it. Because if she did, the other person might become even more reckless and release all those revelations, whether they were true or not.

Based on the few descriptions of Nick Arthur in the original work that Simone Milton remembered, she had reason to believe that Nick Arthur would be capable of doing such a thing.

Even if the likelihood was only one percent, she wouldn’t dare take the risk.

If she loses the bet, Juliet Milton’s reputation will be completely ruined. It’s likely she won’t be able to continue working in the entertainment industry anymore.

Thinking of this, Simone Milton sighed helplessly. In the end, she gave in. “Mr. Arthur, why go to such extremes? Let’s talk things over properly. Let’s arrange a face-to-face meeting.”

“It seems you’ve chosen to talk with me after all. That’s a good decision. But since you suddenly changed your mind before, I’ll add a few trivial conditions to our conversation. I’m sure you won’t mind, right?” On the other end of the line, Nick Arthur raised his eyebrows upon hearing Simone Milton say this. He knew he had won this “battle”.

No matter how reluctant Simone Milton might be, she ultimately had no choice but to show up to the meeting! As long as she managed to gain the upper hand in this war and take control of the situation, it would be impossible for Simone Milton to launch a counterattack in the future!

Now, all he needs to do is wait for Simone Milton to arrive here as agreed.

On the other end, Nick Arthur hung up the phone. But Simone Milton showed no sign of relief at all.

She felt a bit tired. She deleted the contact records from her phone and handed it back to her assistant. Then, turning to her concerned agent, she said, “I suddenly have an appointment. Could you please change the route later?”

Seeing Simone Milton with such a painful expression, like a mushroom with a headache, the economist frowned and asked worriedly, “What happened? Why do you look so uncomfortable? Do you need my help?”

Actually, what he really wanted to ask was: Who was on the other end of the phone? Why was that person calling Simone Milton? Could it be related to the sudden change in roles this time?

But seeing how tired Simone Milton seemed and how reluctant she was to talk, the agent ultimately decided not to voice his questions.

“Fine, but I have to remind you that you’re a public figure after all. You need to pay attention to your image. Don’t let anyone take any unpleasant photos of you!” The agent said seriously to Simone Milton.

“I understand, don’t worry!” Simone Milton said, then gave an address that Nick Arthur had told her before hanging up the phone.

Upon hearing this address, the agent instinctively raised an eyebrow. This place was not only highly concealed, but also off-limits to most people. Where in the world did Simone Milton get her connections to be able to access such a place?

While the agent was still wondering what to do, Simone Milton had already dressed plainly. After confirming that her appearance was correct, she got out of the car and headed toward the place where she was supposed to meet someone.

Upon arriving at the appointed place, Simone Milton took a deep breath before entering the upscale club. She then gave the name of the reserved private room. Finally, guided by the waiter, she made her way to the room.

By this time, Nick Arthur had been waiting for quite some time.

On the table in the private room, there were not only delicate dishes, but also a stack of prepared documents.

Obviously, the other party came prepared this time.

Simone Milton sat across from Nick Arthur. Taking a deep breath, she asked Nick Arthur, somewhat helplessly, “I’m already here, Mr. Arthur. Please state your conditions.”

“Why don’t we eat something first? It’s better to talk while eating, rather than jumping straight to the main topic,” said Nick Arthur. He then took a bowl from beside him and handed it to Simone Milton.

But Simone Milton didn’t take the bowl. She said, “I’ll skip dinner. I’d like to leave after we finish talking. Besides, I don’t see what more there is to say to Mr. Arthur!”

Seeing how anxious Simone Milton was, Nick Arthur sighed, put the dishes aside, and handed the documents on the table to Simone Milton.

He said, “Sign this newly drafted contract, and your life will return to normal! I promise that not only will all the rumors about Juliet Milton be completely silenced, but your role will also be restored to its previous state!”

“Do I have any other choices?” Simone Milton smiled bitterly. She glanced at the contract, and indeed, some of the terms had changed.

Not only will she have to pay ten times the penalty if she goes back on her word in the future, but her working hours have also changed from being paid per hour to five hours of mandatory work per day.

“Mr. Arthur, you must be aware of the nature of my work. Five hours is far too long a period of time for me to handle!” Simone Milton frowned and mentioned the terms that were simply impossible for her to fulfill.

In other words, Simone Milton would accept all other regulations as well.

“I certainly know what Miss Milton does for work now. And I also believe that there’s nothing wrong with the treaty I’ve drafted.” Nick Arthur said this without any intention of making any changes or adjustments to the terms.

He pointed to the text below that clause and said, “Besides, look here: if it’s not possible to complete the work during the scheduled day for some reason, the work can be carried over to the next day… I think this is quite reasonable and considerate of people’s needs!”

With those words spoken, Simone Milton, still unwilling to give up, thought quickly and came up with another reason: “But I think it’s inhumane. In fact, it’s extremely inconvenient! After all, we’re men and women. It wouldn’t be appropriate to spend so much time together alone.”

This reason is more reasonable.

“Are you afraid I’ll try to take advantage of you?” Upon hearing this, Nick Arthur glanced at Simone Milton with a half-smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.”

He thought for a moment, seemingly finding the suggestion reasonable. Then he added, “If you’re still not convinced, every time we’re together, I’ll have my bodyguard watch over us both! That should put your mind at ease, right?”

Simone Milton saw determination in Nick Arthur’s eyes. It was clear he wouldn’t be easily persuaded, which left her somewhat frustrated.

She wasn’t unable to hear the underlying meaning in the other person’s words. She just found it somewhat annoying.

But upon careful consideration, since the other party is so determined, there’s no way for her to object, no matter how reluctant she might be. Otherwise, the same thing might happen again with Juliet Milton.

Who knows, in the end, even Martha might get drawn into this insane man’s plans. The mere thought of that made Simone Milton shiver with fear.

No, absolutely no way can Martha get into trouble! Even if the chances of that happening are extremely slim, she can’t take that risk.

Taking a deep breath, Simone Milton finally signed her name on the contract again. After signing, she handed the contract to Nick Arthur.

“Mr. Arthur, I’ve signed this contract. I hope you’ll do as we agreed earlier and refrain from taking your anger out on innocent people.” Simone Milton said formally to Nick Arthur.

“Of course. As I said, once you sign this contract, you’ll go back to your normal life, with no changes at all!” Nick Arthur said. He took out his phone, made a call, gave some instructions to the person on the other end, then smiled at Simone Milton.

“You can check the online reviews now. As for the production team, I guess we’ll hear from them soon. Don’t worry too much!” Nick Arthur said, carefully placing the contract aside.

Actually, without Nick Arthur’s reminder, Simone Milton had already taken out her phone to check online opinions. Sure enough, not long after Nick Arthur spoke, there were clarifications regarding the rumors about Juliet Milton on the internet.

For a moment, netizens who had previously insulted Juliet Milton were left speechless. They quickly began to apologize under Juliet Milton’s Weibo posts.

Such a sudden turn of events really left Juliet Milton’s PR team somewhat confused. But obviously, this turn of events also came as a relief to them.

Confirming that Juliet Milton’s reputation had been restored, Simone Milton’s expression finally softened. She spoke to Nick Arthur in a more relaxed tone: “Anyway, thank you for sparing me.”

“You’re welcome. We’re just business partners after all! It’s all about mutual benefit. So I hope you’ll think things through before acting impulsively in the future. After all, I don’t have unlimited patience!” Nick Arthur accepted the thanks graciously and reminded Simone Milton not to go back on her transportation-related commitments in the future.

Hearing this, Simone Milton wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. She took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Nick Arthur, “Since the contract has been signed, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Wait a moment. Since you’re already here, finish the work that needs to be done today! That way, I won’t have to go look for you later.” Nick Arthur spoke up to keep Simone Milton from leaving.

Simone Milton’s expression changed slightly. After taking a deep breath, she sat back down. She kept reminding herself that she was too weak right now to even affect Nick Arthur. So, it was better not to do anything that might provoke him.

As expected, Simone Milton’s submissive attitude pleased Nick Arthur even more. Lying on Simone Milton’s lap, he ordered her to wake him up again in five hours. Simone Milton refused not to obey, and could only try to maintain her current position as steadily as possible.

Five hours later, after a good night’s sleep, Nick Arthur, full of energy, was gently awakened by Simone Milton.

Nick Arthur, who had just woken up, had a confused look in his eyes, seemingly not realizing his current situation.

After a long while, those confused eyes finally became clear again.

“Has it already been five hours?” Nick Arthur, who rarely slept so soundly, felt somewhat dissatisfied. He couldn’t help but think that if he could hold Simone Milton in his arms all night, he would surely wake up feeling extremely happy the next day.

Such a thought flashed through his mind, only to disappear quickly thereafter.

“I’m very satisfied with your service today. I hope you can continue to provide such efficient service in the future. Miss Milton, you may now leave.” Nick Arthur glanced at Simone Milton in a polite but distant manner, signaling for her to leave.

Typical “use it and then throw it away” attitude!

But for Simone Milton, this was perfect. Having finished her task, she stood up and stretched a little. Only after her body became less stiff did she politely bid farewell to Nick Arthur.

Nick Arthur didn’t try to persuade her to stay. He simply told Simone Milton not to wander around after work the next day. He would send someone to pick her up for work.

Simone Milton nodded indifferently, then left the place happily.

Not long after leaving the upscale club, Simone Milton, who was walking on the street, received a call from the director on set.

On the other end of the phone, the set director spoke hesitantly, informing Simone Milton to come by tomorrow to finish her scenes.

Simone Milton didn’t foolishly ask the director why. Instead, she humbly said that she would arrive early the next day, so the director wouldn’t have to worry.

On the other end of the phone, the director, upon hearing Simone Milton say that, felt even more respect for her frugal nature.

Although he found Nick Arthur’s impulsive behavior somewhat frustrating, having such a talented person stay in his crew was still a good thing for him.

The director also chose to turn a blind eye to those instances where it was possible to overlook certain things.

Early the next morning, Simone Milton rushed to the filming location to complete the shooting that hadn’t been finished the day before.

During the reshoots, the director was extremely relieved that he hadn’t spoken those words yesterday. Otherwise, things would have been difficult to handle today. As for the other crew members, although they found it strange that Simone Milton was allowed to leave during filming, they understood after learning that Simone Milton had been given the day off by the director the previous day.

Meanwhile, while people understood the situation, there were also rumors that Simone Milton was given the day off yesterday because some wealthy person had negotiated with the director. As a result, all of Simone Milton’s scenes from yesterday were filmed today instead.

This view was accepted by most of the staff. Some of the supporting actors even said dismissively that perhaps Simone Milton became so popular so quickly because of someone’s backing.

The more envy and jealousy there is, the more people will speak ill of others behind their backs, as if that will somehow make it possible to bring Simone Milton down.

Within the filming crew, Simone Milton initially had no idea that people were speaking ill of her behind her back. But there’s no such thing as a secret completely kept hidden in this world. By sheer coincidence, while eating her lunch from the crew’s cafeteria, Simone Milton overheard two less important extras talking badly about her.

Hearing Simone Milton’s slanderous remarks, one could hardly help but laugh at how absurd their thoughts are. She believes that if these people would put important matters first, they wouldn’t still be complete failures today.

But these two people were making secret comments. If she went forward to clarify things, it might seem like she was making a big deal out of nothing. That’s really disgusting.

With no other choice, Simone Milton could only temporarily cover her nose and ignore all those ridiculous comments.

That afternoon, Simone Milton finally finished her scenes for the day. As she prepared to leave the set and go home, Nick Arthur’s bodyguard had already been waiting at the entrance to the set for some time.

As soon as Simone Milton appeared, Nick Arthur’s bodyguard stepped forward and, with a expressionless face, asked Simone Milton to get in the car. “The boss has been waiting for Miss Milton for quite some time. Please hurry over. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for us to handle the situation.”

Simone Milton frowned upon hearing this. She looked at the bodyguard helplessly and said, “Didn’t I already say it? Don’t stand so openly in front of the filming crew. It’s easy for people to notice! If that happens, plenty of trouble will follow. I’m sure your husband doesn’t want that to happen, right?”

I thought that after she said those words, the bodyguard would surely agree with her. So I assured her that I wouldn’t act on my own again next time. But to Simone Milton’s surprise, the bodyguard said, “Such a thing will never happen!”

The bodyguard assured Simone Milton, “Miss Milton, don’t worry. We have a professional team in place. Whenever such statements are made, we’ll immediately take action to set the record straight. So, there’s no need for you to worry about any damage to your reputation!”

Upon hearing these words, Simone Milton had a lot to say, but she didn’t know how to express it.

That wasn’t her true intention at all, okay?

She now seriously doubted whether this bodyguard could even understand human speech. Simone Milton took a deep breath and said to the bodyguard helplessly, “Anyway, next time, don’t wait for me at the set entrance. Just call me, and I’ll come over…”

“Never mind. What’s the point of telling you all this? I doubt you’ll listen anyway!” Simone Milton shrugged helplessly, then got into the car on her own.

After seeing Simone Milton get into the car, the bodyguard immediately followed her. Soon, the vehicle started and left the filming site.

However, the departing bodyguard and Simone Milton didn’t realize that, just across the door in the crew area, Alberta Arthur, who was about to leave the set with Katie Adams, had overheard their entire conversation.

Not only that, but Katie Adams also saw it.

Katie Adams, who felt she had caught Simone Milton in a compromising situation, kept her eyes moving around nervously. Then, in a soft, gentle voice, she said to Alberta Arthur, “Alberta, please stop looking. Maybe Simone Milton is going to meet with her financier. Everyone on the set is talking about it. I think it’s not right, but it’s her choice. There’s nothing we outsiders can say about it…”

Katie Adams said this with obvious worry on her face, as if she was afraid that Simone Milton might be deceived. She tried to ask Alberta Arthur for help.

“Alberta, do you think we should go remind Simone Milton? If something like this gets photographed, it’s definitely not good. One should always behave properly. Taking shortcuts like that is truly despicable…” said Katie Adams.

“Although she’s done some bad things to me in the past, I believe we’ll be able to persuade her to come back on track and avoid going down the wrong path again!” As Katie Adams said these words, she seemed to be radiating a holy light.

And what Alberta Arthur liked most was just this simple and kind-hearted Katie Adams. Upon hearing that Katie Adams had been hurt by Simone Milton, he still chose to lend a helping hand. His whole heart melted like water.

Albert Arthur sighed and patted Katie Adams’s backhand. “Katie Adams, you’re just too kind-hearted. In my opinion, you shouldn’t even give her any attention at all! She’s a disgusting person. How can someone as vicious as her deserve your forgiveness or even your attempts to save her?”

“Besides, this woman has quite large ambitions!” Alberta Arthur said these words with gritted teeth. If he wasn’t mistaken, the person who had been talking to Simone Milton earlier was none other than his uncle’s man!

In other words, after realizing that her previous attempts to get close to him had been futile, Simone Milton decided to take a more indirect approach. She decided to get close to Nick Arthur, with the hope that by doing so, she could eventually get close to him as well.

Albert Arthur, who had already figured out why Simone Milton was with Nick Arthur’s man, suddenly found it utterly disgusting. He simply couldn’t feel any goodwill toward someone like Simone Milton.

No, he needs to find a way to warn that vicious woman not to target Nick Arthur! If anything happens, it should be directed at him. Under no circumstances can Simone Milton hurt his family!

At the thought that Nick Arthur, who was already weak and sickly, might never recover from the harm caused by Simone Milton, Alberta Arthur’s eyes grew cold and fierce.

Katie Adams, who didn’t understand why Alberta Arthur suddenly said such things, had a thought. Perhaps the person who was funding Simone Milton knew Alberta Arthur.

Otherwise, Alberta Arthur wouldn’t have reacted so strongly!

With that thought in mind, Katie Adams rolled her eyes and asked Alberta Arthur, pretending to be surprised: “No way! Even if Simone Milton has personality issues, she doesn’t seem like someone with any ambition at all!”

“How is that impossible? Don’t forget how she pestered me before, and how she dealt with you! It’s completely understandable for someone with such great ambitions. In any case, Katie Adams, you’d better be careful!” Alberta Arthur said this, becoming increasingly restless. She couldn’t wait to meet Nick Arthur and tell him Simone Milton’s true nature.

Albert Arthur, who was hiding his thoughts, turned to Katie Adams beside him and said, “Well, I have some urgent matters to deal with. I can’t send you home today, Katie Adams. Can you go home by yourself?”

Seeing Alberta Arthur suddenly say that, Katie Adams certainly knew who she was. It was possible that she wanted to deal with Simone Milton’s matter, and might even have sacrificed taking Simone home in order to handle it.

To be honest, this is something that Katie Adams simply can’t accept. In her opinion, going home with Alberta Arthur is a great way to strengthen their relationship.

But all of this was ruined by that annoying Simone Milton! Katie Adams couldn’t help but wonder if Simone Milton had deliberately staged this scene right before they were about to leave the set, with the goal of taking Alberta Arthur away from her!

Reason told her that it was impossible, after all, the times when both of them left the set weren’t fixed. It was simply a coincidence. But emotionally, she couldn’t accept such an outcome.

That’s how she arbitrarily took her anger out on Simone Milton. Anyway, there’s no possibility of reconciliation between the two of them. In that case, why not add more fuel to the fire?

Katie Adams thought this in her heart, but appeared calm on the surface. She pushed a strand of hair out of her face and said to Alberta Arthur, “If it’s an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with right away, then go ahead and take care of it. I can go home by myself just fine!”

Hearing this, Alberta Arthur felt guilty immediately. He gently stroked Katie Adams’s face and said, with deep remorse, “I knew you were a good girl. Next time, let’s go home together again.”

“Of course, you mustn’t dislike me by then, okay?” Katie Adams said, smiling playfully.

The two of them exchanged a few more words, then went their separate ways.

As Alberta Arthur sat back in the car, she kept recalling the shy expression on Katie Adams’s face when they parted. Her feelings for this woman grew even stronger.

At the same time, he also ordered the driver to immediately go find Nick Arthur. The driver didn’t understand why, but still followed Alberta Arthur’s instructions to the place where Nick Arthur was.

Unfortunately, despite rushing there as quickly as he could, Alberta Arthur arrived at Nick Arthur’s residence, only to find no sign of Nick Arthur inside.

“He’s not here. Then where has that uncle gone? Damn it, where on earth has he gone?” Alberta Arthur said irritably, muttering to herself.

And when trying to call Nick Arthur, it was completely impossible to get through to him. With no other choice, Alberta Arthur could only wait at her home for Nick Arthur to return.

After waiting another five hours, they finally got the person back.

As soon as Nick Arthur returned, Alberta Arthur rushed forward, worriedly asking, “Uncle, you’re finally back! Who were you with earlier? Was it Simone Milton? When I left the set, I saw her get into your car… Uncle, do you know how horrible that woman is?”

As soon as Alberta Arthur arrived, she bombarded him with questions, completely ignoring Nick Arthur’s cheerful demeanor at that moment.

He now has only one goal: to tell Nick Arthur, who might be in the dark about Simone Milton’s true nature, everything about her.

Hearing his nephew’s constant chatter, Nick Arthur frowned and snapped, “Enough! What kind of relationship do I have with her that you need to interfere? And as for what kind of person she is, I really don’t care at all! Alberta, if there’s nothing else, you’d better go back now.”

Nick Arthur, with his cold demeanor, glanced at Alberta Arthur. Of course, it had nothing to do with who Simone Milton was. After all, all he wanted was a human “pillow” to cuddle with. Moreover, when signing the contract with her, he had already thoroughly investigated Simone Milton.

Again, he and Simone Milton are merely business partners. He really doesn’t care what kind of person she is.

Albert Arthur, who was kicked out without any explanation, wanted to say something, but Nick Arthur seemed extremely impatient. Out of fear of triggering Nick Arthur’s illness again, Albert Arthur had no choice but to leave Nick Arthur’s place reluctantly.

But Alberta Arthur, who had left Nick Arthur’s place, wasn’t willing to give up so easily. She thought to herself, resentfully: “If my uncle won’t listen to reason, then I’ll go talk to Simone Milton. I refuse to believe that, after my stern warnings, he’ll still continue to bother my uncle like this!”

With these thoughts in mind, Alberta Arthur regained his previous fighting spirit and returned home with confidence and vigor.

The next day, during filming, Alberta Arthur, looking displeased, stayed at the set all the time. Finally, he waited until Simone Milton’s first scene was over.

The moment Simone Milton stepped off the stage to rest, Alberta Arthur rushed over without saying a word, pulling her aside into a corner.

Simona Milton, who was rudely pulled into a corner, frowned. She had barely managed to break free from Alberta Arthur’s grasp. She demanded angrily, “Sir Andrew, what exactly do you want? I don’t think I’ve done anything to offend you recently. Is it really necessary for you to pull me aside in such a rude manner?”

Upon hearing this, Alberta Arthur snorted and said, “You know very well what you’ve done. I warn you: better get your act together and stop what you’re doing right now. Out of respect for the fact that you’re a woman, I won’t reveal exactly what you’ve done. Do as you please.”

Hearing these words, Simone Milton could hardly contain her laughter at Alberta Arthur. She said, “I’ll take care of myself. I haven’t done anything at all lately, have I? But you, Young Master Andrew, suddenly pulled me aside like that. Aren’t you afraid that rumors will spread everywhere soon? I really have no interest in continuing this conversation with you. Let’s just leave it at that!”

“Simona Milton, you! I’m trying to be nice and remind you, but you really don’t know when to stop being rude!” When Alberta Arthur heard Simona Milton say that, she couldn’t help but laugh at this shameless woman.

“What have you done yourself? Do you really expect me to spell it all out for you? I’m telling you: stay away from my uncle. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret being alive!” Alberta Arthur, tired of Simone Milton’s pretenses, laid bare the truth and threatened her viciously.

Hearing these words, Simone Milton frowned deeply, feeling utterly exasperated: So it was all Nick Arthur’s fault!

But to be honest, Simone Milton didn’t give a damn about threats like those from Alberta Arthur. Frowning, she said to Alberta Arthur, “Young Master An, I think you might have misunderstood something. I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re blocking my way just to say such nonsense, then I think you’d better leave. You’re not welcome here!”

After saying that, Simone Milton simply refused to give Alberta Arthur another glance. She turned around and walked away without another word.

But Alberta Arthur, who had been spoken of in such terms by Simone Milton, felt deeply embarrassed. After all, this woman had previously pestered him relentlessly. Now, she acted all dismissive like this. Who was she trying to impress with that behavior?

Albert Arthur thought that the reason this woman acted in such a way was clearly to tease him, to try to catch his attention.

Heh… Alberta Arthur swore to herself that she would never let this vicious woman succeed in her schemes. She definitely wouldn’t pay any attention to her. The only reason she stopped her was for her uncle’s sake.

With these thoughts in mind, Alberta Arthur felt much better. She stepped forward once again and firmly grabbed Simone Milton’s hand.

He was extremely forceful. In an instant, he left Simone Milton’s wrist red and swollen. He glared at her viciously and said, “Let me tell you, this kind of teasing and playing hard to get won’t work on me at all! I wasn’t joking when I warned you before. From now on, you’re not allowed to get anywhere near my uncle!”

Seeing that Simone Milton remained indifferent as ever, Alberta Arthur became annoyed and added, “Otherwise, I’ll expose everything disgusting you’ve done online! By then, I doubt you’ll be able to continue operating in this circle at all!”

“I mean, Young Master An, even if what I say is true, what does that have to do with you? Who are you to me anyway? Why should you bother meddling in my affairs? Your own uncle said nothing about this. Isn’t it inappropriate of you to interfere like this?” Simone Milton was practically laughing her head off.

She found that this man’s ability to talk nonsense was nothing short of impressive.

Perhaps this is just their family’s genetic makeup?

“You!” When Alberta Arthur heard Simone Milton say that, he was momentarily unable to think of anything to retort. But then he regained his composure and said with a cold smile, “The reason you say such things is surely because you want to gain my status and position from me. I advise you to give up those selfish thoughts! I will never fall in love with you in my entire life!”

“Who’s trying to make plans behind my back? Let me tell you the truth: Young Master An, I have no interest in you at all right now. So please stop imagining that I’m doing everything for your sake.” Simone Milton frowned, clearly unwilling to continue involving herself with this person anymore.

“It’s my turn to perform in a moment. I still have scenes to shoot. Could you please stop disturbing me, Lord Albert? I need to be in the right state of mind to shoot my scenes.” Simone Milton, clearly impatient, spoke rudely to Alberta Arthur.

“You…” Alberta Arthur certainly couldn’t believe that Simone Milton had lost interest in him. After seeing how hypocritically Simone Milton spoke those words, Alberta, unable to preserve his face, snorted and shook Simone Milton’s hand off.

“I hope, as you say, he’s not interested in me. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be very nice to look stupid!” Alberta Arthur said, then turned away with a haughty expression.

Seeing that the troublesome man had finally left, Simone Milton let out a long sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the assistant who had noticed what was happening rushed over as well, after seeing Alberta Arthur go away.

The assistant came over to ask what Simone Milton had been talking about with Alberta Arthur. She even warned Simone Milton not to spend time with Alberta Arthur anymore.

“Sis, you’ve been slandered many times before because of them. It would be better if you avoided contact with them from now on.” The assistant said this, but then suddenly n
