"It's not only that. He even thinks that nothing happened between me and Aurum. He wants to find out the truth, to produce strong evidence," Gale said softly.

"How nice, he's always been on your side, looking out for you."

"But I feel guilty for his trust. Now whenever I close my eyes, all I can think about is..."

Ivy replied bitterly, "I'm in the same boat. I wish I could kill Paul, that bastard! But instead? I still have to work with him on the movie."

"Can you not do the movie? Ivy, you're the only artist under the Wood Group. This is almost unheard of in the industry. I can fight for better resources for you, we can take on more scripts... We don't have to do Paul's film!" Gale asked seriously.

Ivy fell silent.

"I can offer you more, I promise. You can even sue Paul. I'll get the head lawyer of Wood Group to help…"

Before Gale could finish speaking, Ivy shook her head.

"Why?" Gale's voice was very soft. "Are you afraid? With me here, you don't have to be."
