The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2092

She spoke in a faint, almost pitiable voice as she tried to explain herself.

“Madam, honestly, I had no idea how the power went out. The whole house was plunged into darkness, and I was just... scared. It's a natural instinct, you know?”

She kept on explaining, her voice laced with desperation. It was evident that she understood the influence Alyssa held; if she willed it, she could make life in the industry unbearable for her. And she wasn't about to let all her hard work go down the drain.

Waiting for the day she would become Mrs. Howard, plotting sweet revenge on the old bat.

“Giselle, do you really take me for a pushover? You think I didn’t do my homework before coming here?”

Alyssa paced slowly towards the main switch, her steps measured and deliberate. She reached out, opened a hidden panel, and firmly pulled down a lever.

Instantly, lights throughout the house flickered back to life.

“Now, Giselle, do you have any more excuses you’d like to throw my way?” Alyssa's voice was icy as she turned to face her.

Giselle froze, stunned. “This... this... how could this be? Maybe a fuse blew...”

Alyssa chuckled, “Giselle, you come from a respectable family. I know your father once did a favor for Balfour, so I'd rather not make this unpleasant for either of us. This is your last warning. If there's a next time, you can forget about finding another production team willing to work with you. Got it?”

Giselle was intimidated by Alyssa's grin, “I... I understand. You can rest assured and I won’t bother Balfour again!”

She was practically on the verge of swearing an oath.

Of course, Alyssa knew all too well that promises from a woman like Giselle weren't worth much.

Her presence today was merely to assert the stance of the Howard family. If Giselle continued down this path, she shouldn’t be surprised when her mercy ran out!
