Disgust flashed through her eyes. She was a woman, so she hated the so-called hidden rule in the entertainment business the most. She had also repeatedly reminded everyone in her crew not to get involved in such a matter.
However, it still happened.
“Alastair Angelo, I’m the deputy director of this crew. You should know I’ve done many things for this movie. How dare you mistreat me!”
Kaiden struggled desperately.
“Mistreat you? I’m going to beat you up as well.”
Looking sullen, Alastair darted at the security guards and hinted at them.
They were hired by her, so they must do their jobs.
All the security guards were professional, so they understood what she meant. One threw a punch on Kaiden’s belly.
The latter huddled and let out a cry in pain, “Argh!”
Kaiden almost vomited blood. “Alastair Angelo, you…”
“He still can talk. Go on.”
Alastair watched the scene icily.
She had become successful in this industry as she wasn’t a weak woman but a tough nut to crack. Of course, she was also competent.
Besides, Robin was in the room as well.
According to Lacey’s information, Robin was a bigwig. No matter if he was good or evil, Alastair wasn’t as righteous as Lacy was, but she knew she couldn’t afford to offend Robin.
Ten minutes later, Kaiden lay on the ground, almost dying. So was Josh next to him.
‘Bitch! I won’t let go of you!’ he cursed inwardly.
He had some friends. After being arrested, he could bribe the police and leave. Then he would take revenge on Alastair.
However, when a woman strode in, his heart sank. ‘What? This woman! Holy shit! Why am I so unlucky?’
Lacey walked into the office as Alastair called the police.
“This guy, right? No worries. I’ll check him and find out all his evil deeds,” Lacy patted her chest and promised after listening to Alastair’s report.
“Why are you here again?”
She glared at Robin in the provocation, disdain, reluctance, and inferiority complex. That was how she felt whenever seeing Robin.
“What a coincidence!” Robin replied.
“Humph! I’ll send you to jail one day,” Lacy snorted. Then she left.
“Sorry, Nina. It’s our fault,” Alastair apologized to Nina.
“Oh… It’s alright… It’s nothing.”
Nina didn’t expect a famous director like Alastair to apologize to her personally. She flicked her hands, feeling flattered.
After Alastair left, Nina said to Robin excitedly, “Ms. Angelo is so gentle. She even apologized to me personally. So easygoing.”
“Sort of.”
Robin rubbed his nose.
If he hadn’t come to the film set today, he wondered how much Nina would have suffered. The entertainment business was complicated. However, if Nina insisted on having a career in this industry, Robin didn’t mind supporting her.
After resolving the problem at the film set, Robin went to Landview Inc. Since David had sent the vagabonds to the construction site, Robin didn’t think he would easily give up.
Robin was ready to fight back no matter what dirty tricks David played.
After arriving at Landview Inc., Robin didn’t see Elise. Priya told him, “Hello, Mr. Bailey. Ms. Houry is out. She’s not in the company today.”
“I see.”
Robin rubbed his chin.
Seeing there was nothing, Robin was about to leave. Right then, a massive group of men gathered at the door. The man in the lead was in a white shirt with a big belly.
He looked as if he was someone important.
“This is the company, right?”
At the door, the man with a big belly glanced at the company logo, unkindness flashing through his eyes. Before he entered, the two aged security guards stood up.
They were purposely arranged at the door.
“What are you doing here, old men? Make your way!”
Ewan Walker frowned at them.
“We’re the security guards hired by Landview. We must do our jobs. None of you is allowed to enter today.”
Although aged, the two security guards were sensible. Since they were security guards, they wouldn’t let any irrelevant people enter.
“Want to stop us? You’ve overestimated yourselves.”
Ewan laughed in disdain.
The two old men could hardly stand still and were aged. How could they stop them?
Ewan thought they must be nuts, wondering why Elise had hired two old men to be the security guards. He believed this company must lack money.
“Get them away!” Ewan ordered his subordinates.
Several men flexed their fingers, tilted their necks, and activated their ankles, working the stiffness. They were ready to remove the two old men.
However, as soon as the men touched them, the old men fell to the ground immediately. Covering their arms, they burst into tears. “You monsters! How could you bully me? My arms! They are broken. I’m already 80. There are monitors at the door. I must get an overall checkup in the hospital today.”
The other one also wailed, “Argh! My thighs! They hurt so much. Without 200, 000 dollars, I won’t let go of you. You bullied me!”
Ewan and his companions gaped at them.
They didn’t expect the two to react this way.
Looking up, they found cameras on the door frame, their face dark. Ewan’s subordinate had only touched them instead of beating them.
One complained his thigh hurt. Those men hadn’t touched his legs yet.
“Blackmail! You blackmail us.”
Ewan was so angry that his face reddened. Panting, he pointed at the two old men.
They even asked for 200, 000 dollars.
“Ouch! It hurts! I’m dying. I’m dying. You all are murderers. You must be punished.”
An old man rolled on the ground back and forth.
The other old man covered his thigh and howled, “You bastards! You hit us but refused to admit it. I’ll upload the video online. You’ll be so dead!”
Ewan trembled in anger. Looking at the two men, he could utter two words, “Shameless jerks!”
