he moved so quickly that none of the staff on set even had time to react.

was only when the director spotted someone entering the shot through the monitor that he hurriedly shouted, “Who is that? Don’t walk into frame–get out,

OW!”

liza ignored him completely and strode straight to Lilith.

ilith was still touching up her makeup, reclining comfortably in her chair with her eyes closed and chin tipped up, instructing the makeup artist, “Pick a darker pstick shade. It’ll look better on camera.”

he makeup artist was hesitating over whether she should say something. After all, this was a shampoo commercial–if the makeup was too heavy, it would pull >cus and fail to highlight the product itself.

ut she didn’t dare.

ilith was far too domineering. A lowly makeup artist like her couldn’t afford to offend her.

he had just reached into her kit to choose a lipstick-

then another hand took one first.

Jh-” the makeup artist let out a startled sound.

the next second, she went completely speechless.

liza used the lipstick to draw a giant X across Lilith’s face.

y the time Lilith realized what had happened, Eliza had already finished.

he opened her eyes, just about to start screaming, but the moment she saw who it was, she stammered instead, “Grant… President Grant? Why are you here?”

liza couldn’t even be bothered to answer her.

he lifted her leg and kicked both Lilith and the chair she was sitting on straight into the pool.

veryone on set was stunned.

ilith’s manager charged over in a fury. “Who the hell are you? Do you even know what you’re doing? I’m telling you–you’re finished!”

he was finished?

liza really didn’t believe that,

Get her out of there, now!” the manager shouted at the staff on set.

liza grabbed the nearby display table piled with shampoo products and flipped it over with a crash so loud it froze everyone in place.

Try it,” she said coldly. “Let’s see who dares.”

On the other side, Emily had already helped Belle out of the pool.

Belle was trembling violently from the cold, her face white as paper.

“I’m taking her to change,” Emily said.

At that point, Lilith’s manager had finally seen through the situation. She sneered, “So you’re with Helle. Let me tell you this–you and Belle have offended someone you should never have offended. Her acting career is finished”

Rally Eliza smiled instead of getting angry

The manager took her disbelief as ignorance Tll make the call right now. Belle can just want to be backlisted by the constr

As she spoke, she dialed Ambrose’s number. President Quinn, Lili’s being bullied! Get over here right now

As ff on cae, Lilith failed in the pool and cried out loudly. “Help! Ambrose, save mer

The whole set descended into chaos

By then, both the director and the brand representatives had rushed over, clearly looking for someone to hold sccountable.

I don’t care who you are, the director snapped at Eliza, “but you’ve caused us enormous losses today, and you will compensate for them!”

fiza ignored him and directly placed a call to Nicolas.

colas happened to be out on a golf course at the moment, with nothing better to do. The second he saw Eliza’s name on the screen, he picked up almost nstantly, his tone light and teasing.

Well, this is new. Did the sun rise in the west today? Junior Sister actually remembered to call me?*

liza said “I need a favor.”

Nicolas immediately perked up. Say the word.”

liza lowered her gaze, glanced at the floating shampoo bottles in the pool, and said. “Help me acquire a personal care brand called Zylo. As fast as possible

he moment Nicolas heard that, he laughed. “Perfect timing. My company already has a stake in that brand, Easy. Give me five minutes.

ver here, after hearing Eliza say she was going to acquire the shampoo brand-

le brand manager burst out laughing.

Cute. The little girl’s got an attitude. Acquire our brand? What is she thinking? Does she think buying a company is like buying a handbag or a lipstick?”

he director sneered from the side as well. “Belle heard we’d added a new spokesperson and started throwing her weight around on set, refusing to cooperate nd now she’s brought someone here to wreck the shoot. She has zero sense of professional responsibility! This is outrageous! An actress with no professional hurs like that should be blacklisted across the entire industry!”

le manager added arrogantly. “Tan calling upper management right now and having the company terminate all cooperation with Belle! And we’ll never work ith her again!”

seling better at last, Lilith’s manager moved to pull her out of the pool again.

iza picked up a bottle of shampoo and hurled it straight at her.

and

hit with enough force that the manager screamed.

already said it no one touches her. Helle stayed in there for how long? Then she stays in twice as long)

iza planted herself in front of faith and blocked anyone from getting close

nfortunately, Ambrose arrived too quickly

lith hadn’t yet been left in the water long enough.

le moment he saw her floundering in the pool, he stripped off his coat without hesitation and jumped in

elle had just changed into dry clothes in the dressing room and had drunk a little hot water to steady herself

‘orried Eliza might be getting bullied over there, she came back to check

Chapter 370

The instant she stepped onto the set, she saw Ambrose diving into the water without a second thought to save Lilith.

That single moment felt like being shoved back into that freezing pool herself.

Cold rushed at her from all directions, making her shudder violently.

she stood there, rooted in place, watching with her own eyes as Ambrose jumped into the water to save Lilith-

and then watched as, after bringing her ashore, he wrapped her tightly in his arms.

zelle stared at the scene for a very long time, unable to say a single word.

Other than cold, she felt nothing at all.

Nestled in Ambrose’s arms, Lilith said pitifully, “Ambrose… I’m so cold.”

I’ll take you to get changed.” Ambrose lifted her into his arms at once.

As he turned, he caught sight of Belle standing at the entrance.

lis gaze darkened, and the way he looked at her was chillingly indifferent.

I was obvious–he was blaming her for targeting Lilith.

And when he drew close, his warning came out cold as ice.

Move.”

Jelle stepped aside.

he didn’t argue.

he didn’t make a scene.

he just felt tired.

he exhaustion spreading up from the pit of her heart left her with no strength to defend herself anymore,

here was no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

is they brushed past each other, Lilith, still curled in Ambrose’s arms, shot Belle a provocative look.

ter eyes were full of the smug triumph of a victor.

liza walked over and called her name.

telle answered blankly, “Eliza… I’m fine.”

liza said nothing. Her gaze dropped to Belle’s hands.

selle probably hadn’t even realized if herself–her fingers were clenched so tightly they had already gone pale,

What? No–sir, listen to me, 1-”

The brand manager’s panicked voice rang out across the set.

Whoever was on the other end had already hung up, not even giving him a chance to explain.

The director looked confused. Seeing the manager’s face go ghost white, he quickly asked, “What did your boss say? Are they terminating helle’s contract immediately?”

The manager’s lips trembled for a long moment before he finally sald weakly, “Upper management sald… I’m tired.”

The director thought he had misheard. “What do you mean? Isn’t Belle the one getting fired? She’s the one with no professional ethics!”

The manager continued numbly, “You’re fired too.”

The director’s immediate reaction was, “Impossible!”

te hadn’t even finished speaking when his phone rang.

One glance at the caller ID–his boss–and his face turned white too.

tis hand shook as he picked up.

‘rom the other end, he heard only five words.

You’re fired.”
