Therefore, he immediately deduced that she was the one who had fallen into the water.
Meanwhile, Elspeth was in a tough situation inside the lake. Truth be told, she was not afraid to fall into the lake as she was a good swimmer and able to swim back to the shore. Yet, coincidentally, her leg cramped upon plunging into the water, so it took her a huge effort to get out of the lake. Suppressing the pain, she could not help but choke repeatedly on the lake water.

Just as she thought she was about to sink, she felt a pair of hands lift her body and swam toward the edge of the lake with her in tow.
Blake carried her to the shore and removed his shirt to cover her upon noticing that she was dripping wet.
At that moment, the director rushed over with a frantic look.
“Send her over to the lounge to take a rest. She can also take a shower to avoid catching a cold.”
Blake considered the director’s words for a moment, then took Elspeth in his arms and carried her to the lounge.
Behind him, the director smiled with a flash of cunning glint in his eyes.
“Elspeth, I need to carry on with the filming. Stay here for a short while, and you can take a shower too. There are plenty of clothes you can change into, and they’re clean. Feel free to pick any.”
Blake placed her on the bed and gave her some instructions patiently.
Elspeth had mainly choked on some water and was already feeling fine, so she nodded in response.
After he left the room, she took a shower and got changed before resting on the bed. She remained on guard, for she locked the door from the inside.
from the outside.
Elspeth groaned silently upon seeing the director at the door.
“Is there something you need, Mr. Thorn?”
Despite her fluster, she put on a nonchalant act.
“Miss Lynwood, I do enjoy your haughty look. I wonder how you’d look like when you’re pinned underneath a man in bed…”
As soon as he imagined himself in that scenario with a powerless Elspeth, he could not seem to suppress the urges that raged within him. After all, men tended to enjoy a contradictory situation, and he was not exempted either.
“Mr. Thorn, I hope you’re aware of your identity, and it would be disastrous to your reputation if word went ou that you assaulted a woman.”
She had some slight recollection of this director, and he was renowned for being a noble and upstanding figure in the entertainment industry. However, it was unexpected that this man appeared so friendly and affable on the surface but was actually, in private, so immoral.
“I don’t care. You don’t have any proof anyway. Besides, this is my turf, so do you seriously think someone would stop me from having my way with you? Oh, there’s another thing that I don’t mind telling you too. I arranged for someone to shove you into the lake earlier on. I’m sure that you didn’t expect this, huh? Had he not done that, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to spend some private time with you…
The director glanced at the captivating Elspeth in front of him and could no longer contain himself as he pounced on her.
She dodged by retreating and grabbed a vase by the side. Subsequently, she smashed it to the ground.
The loud sound of the broken vase was ear-shattering, but the director was undaunted.
“What’s wrong? Why did you do that? Be careful because you might hurt your dainty, delicate hands.”
The director revealed a sardonic smile.
“I’ve modified this room with excellent soundproof, so no one would be able to hear a thing from the outside.”
As soon as Elspeth heard that, she instantly realized that this director was a beast and must have assaulted other women in this room too.
She took out her phone and dialed randomly, but the director suddenly grabbed it and hung up the call before flinging her phone to the ground, after which she angrily kicked him on the shin.
“You’re strong, aren’t you? It doesn’t matter, though, because I’m well-trained. You wouldn’t be able to overpower me unless you’re as strong as two strapping men. Miss Lynwood, you should just surrender to me..”
The director pounced on her and started to tear her clothes. For a moment there, both of them fought violently.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
rage as he grabbed the director and punched him in the face.
Elspeth straightened her clothes before standing up with an icy-cold expression.
“I’m fine. Call the cops.”
At that point, a look of extreme fear flashed across the director’s eyes. How is that possible?! I hung up the call immediately just now! How could someone appear so soon?!
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!”
the
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 recioned link at the director by the side
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.
