The man who accosted Sylvie drawled loudly, and his behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the dinner.
Some people had already recognized him as one of Jadeborough's most notorious playboys, Rocco Chavez.
The female producer who had been speaking with Sylvie earlier was well aware of the shady goings-on in the entertainment industry. However, like many others, she was tactful enough not to mention it in the open.
Naturally, she tried to protect Sylvie's reputation by suggesting, “Mr. Chavez, if you have any misunderstandings with Sylvie here, why don't you discuss it in private?”
“We don't have any misunderstandings between us. She's trying to forget about her past,” Rocco replied flippantly. Then, he tightened his arms around Sylvie to stop her from leaving. “Babe, just tell me straight up if you don't want to sleep with me. You're just pissing me off like this.”
Sylvie paled briefly in response.
Thankfully, years of acting experience prevented her from exposing her panic.
With a vicious shove, she pushed Rocco away and tidied her hair. She said through gritted teeth, “I don't know you at all. If you continue to slander me, I'll call the police!”
Rocco shook his head dramatically and whined, “I'm really disappointed, Babe.”
Suddenly, he pointed at her and smirked before casually dropping a bombshell. “You have a tattoo of a purple butterfly on your waist. I wouldn't know about this if I've never slept with you.”
Sylvie's gaze darkened as she spat coldly, “I don't have any butterfly tattoo.”
“Please, I've seen every inch of your skin. How could I forget?” With a hand tucked carelessly in his pocket, Rocco tilted his head and challenged, “Since you insist you don't have a tattoo, why don't you undress and prove your innocence?”
Sylvie instinctively grabbed the collar of her gown and paled.
If she undressed to prove she did not have a tattoo, everyone, including the surveillance cameras, would see her in the nude. Yet if she refused, everyone would think Rocco was telling the truth about them sleeping together.
