Ruben didn’t back down as Luke did. Instead, he tore away Luke’s pretentious face and exposed the truth in front of everyone. This angered Luke immensely.
He didn’t want to offend Ruben, but based on what Ruben was saying, Ruben was telling everyone that he was intentionally finding fault with Helena.
Before Samantha managed to react in time, she was already pulled up by someone from the ground.
However, because her knees hurt so bad before she even managed to stand properly, she felt a wave of unstableness crashed onto her chest.
On a whim, Ruben managed to hold on to her waist. He lowered his eyes and saw that her knees were injured.
His gaze was getting more dangerous, a chilling atmosphere surrounded him.
“What’s this?” In Ruben’s eyes were dancing fires, his handsome face was contorted as if giving off a biting chill.
Without letting Samantha speak, Luke made the most correct decision at that time. He pretended that he just realized her injuries, and yelled at Emilia who was standing by the side watching the drama unfold.
“Why are you so evil? Even though Miss Powell’s acting skills are not so good, how can you use this opportunity to secretly get your revenge on her?” Luke diverted all the blame to Emilia.
Emilia who was put on the spot, was so shocked till she started trembling, her face was pale and she almost fell to the ground.
She couldn’t afford to offend Ruben.
The happiness she felt just now while torturing Helena was replaced now with the same level of regret.
She never expected that Luke would sell her out once Ruben arrived.
Even though she indeed had selfish thoughts just now, she…
Emilia suddenly felt hopeless, she understood something.
She was dead meat.
Luke intended to sacrifice her to put out Ruben’s fire.
Samantha’s forehead was full of sweat, she almost couldn’t stand firm, so she was leaning onto Ruben’s chest for support.
This time was different from the last. At her most hopeless, he appeared once again to save her.
She took a deep breath, inhaling his cool aura, her eyes were getting wet.
Luke, Emilia, all of you please get lost.
She was immensely tired; she didn’t want to say anything more.
Emilia’s pleading eyes turned to Luke, but Luke turned a blind eye on her and asked furiously, “Who brought her here? Her evil personality is not fit to be part of our team. Apologize to Helena. Even if Helena doesn’t pursue this matter further, Universal Entertainment will investigate this to the core!”
Emilia understood the threat within Luke’s words, and she collapsed to the ground in shock.
There was no way Luke would admit that he had done that on purpose, and hence she was the sole scapegoat for it.
Struggling with her words, Emilia said, “Mr. Baker… I didn’t do it on purpose, please don’t chase me away, I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Ruben’s gaze got even colder, “So you’re confessing? Intentionally finding fault with her was all your own doing?”
“Of course it’s her. Helena is with Universal Entertainment, why would we bully her? It’s all because of this woman, her heart is like a snake!” Luke trampled furiously on Emilia, his action violent and cruel.
Pressing on her chest, Emilia rolled onto her side, her face was filled with misery, “Mr. Knight, Mr. Baker… I know I was wrong, I didn’t mean to pick a fight with Miss Powell, please forgive me.”
Emilia who was kneeling on the ground, reached out to hug Luke’s legs, pleading pitifully.
Luke’s eyes were cold, without hesitating he kicked her, “I can’t let a troublemaker like you stay in the team, it’s Helena this time, I’m not sure who will be the next victim.”
Emilia’s face was filled with tears, she was kicked away by Luke numerous times. Now she understood what despair felt like.
Samantha was in so much pain that she couldn’t talk, so she was watching everything happen in front of her silently.
She felt no pity for Emilia. She wasn’t Mother Teresa, if Ruben hadn’t come to the set today, she would have continued to be bullied.
