Colin ground his teeth and sneered, "Fannie, you can't threaten me with that!"
Mrs. Fannie sneered, "well, it's up to you."
Hearing that, Colin ground his teeth and said, "It seems that you have something to do with Avril's
death. What kind of cruel means have you done behind my back! "
Mrs. Ling sneered again. "What's done is done. It doesn't matter whether it has anything to do with me
or not? Can you make it up? Today I just want to make a deal with you. If you promise me, I'll tell you
where Avril is. What if you don't? If so, I can't guarantee that something like what happened to Avril at
that year will not happen again! "
"What else do you want to do?" Colin pointed at her, asking.
Mrs. Fannie glanced at Melissa, which made Melissa panic. Would Mrs. Fannie aim at her? After
glancing at Melissa, Mrs. Fannie said to Colin, "of course I will get rid of those people who would block
me."
For a moment, Melissa felt suffocated and short of breath. Although Mrs. Fannie said in a flat tone, she
could still sense that Mrs. Fannie was blaming her, which made her helpless and nervous for a
moment.
Colin glanced at Melissa for a moment, and then sneered at Mrs. Fannie, "Do you think I like her? Do
you think she's the second Avril?"
Mrs. Fannie smiled faintly, "Isn't it true? Or why are you pestering her?"
Hearing that, Colin's eyes grew complex. He looked at Melissa and then at Mrs. Fannie, bursting into
laughter. Then he said in a cold, scornful voice, "Oh, so that's the reason of your misunderstanding.
Alright. You can treat her as Avril! But I won't go back with you anyway. I will not marry Miss Linn and
give birth to a son!"
Mrs. Fannie snorted and said slowly, "Not necessarily. I won't force you. I will give you three days and if
you don't give me a reply in three days, then... I will find a way to deal with you! Humph! " After saying
that, Fannie stood up and strode out. The cold faced secretary nodded at her and followed her.
When Melissa heard the high heels fade away, she began to lose her balance. Luckily, Eric supported
her and whispered in her ear, "It's okay. I'll take you away if something bad happen to you."
Melissa raised her head and looked into Eric's eyes. She saw the sincerity and worry in his eyes, and
knew that he had realized the truth, but he still wanted to help her. Not knowing what to say, Melissa
slowly pulled his hand away and stood still.
As for Colin, he was staring at them, with an unprecedentedly complicated look in his eyes.
Noticing Colin's eyes, Melissa just looked back at him, resentful.
Perhaps it was because Colin was provoked by the gaze of Melissa, or perhaps for some other reason,
he grinded his teeth and said, "Melissa, just wait to see what will happen to you!" Then he said nothing
and strode away decisively, just like his bad temper.
Melissa didn't know what to say. It was such a chaos. She was overwhelmed by Mrs. Fannie's attitude,
including Colin's attitude. They were all killers. They did whatever they wanted to do to her. She was
afraid and hated them. But there was nothing she could do. Could she just wait and watch them to
arrange her life?
It seemed that Eric knew how Melissa felt. He took her hand quietly and said, "if possible, could you tell
me what happened between you and Colin? Why could you piss him off? Why did he let you go? And
why did Mrs. Fannie come to you?"
Looking up at Eric, Melissa wanted to cry all of a sudden, she just felt sad. But she couldn't say a word
in front of such a kind-hearted man. She just shook her head and said, "Eric, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! I
get you involved in this."
Eric smiled as if he wasn't afraid of Colin and his mother and said, "It doesn't matter. I will go abroad at
the worst. Ling family is just a gangster in the entertainment circle, and except the entertainment in out
county, they can't do anything to me. If they want to hurt you, I will make you go with me. As long as
you trust me, I will take you with me."
Feeling sad, Melissa shook her head and struggled to free herself from Eric's grip.
Then, director Li came in, probably because he saw that Mrs. Fannie and Colin had left, and they dared
step in to ask Melissa what had happened. Although Melissa only said that it was a little private
matters, it would not affect the filming, so that director Li could relax.
Hearing Eric's words, director Li didn't ask any more questions. He probably knew that it was related to
Ling family, so he didn't dare to ask too much. Otherwise, it would be harmful to him. Director Li asked
the crew to come in and continue filming.
Because of what Mrs. Fannie and Colin said to her, Melissa was in a bad mood today. So it was hard
for her to get in the mood when they were filming. Eric had planned to shoot the TV series in only one
day, but it was delayed until the next day. Eric understood Melissa well, so he said nothing. Director Li
grumbled. It was one more day for the filming and the cost of the staff and equipment was huge.
Melissa knew that director Li was blaming her, and it was indeed her fault. She brought her personal
emotions to work, delayed the work of the entire crew, so she did not refute, allowing director Li to
scold her. For the sake of Eric, director Li just complained. He didn't dare to do anything to Melissa.
The filming turned out to be a failure.
The work was over at 11 o'clock in the evening. Zack had come back to the company at noon, so he
couldn't take part in the shooting with Melissa, so he didn't know that Mrs. Fannie had come to the site.
But he had heard something from others when he came to the site. When he was off work, he asked
Melissa, "What's going on today? I heard that you and Mr. Colin had a fight on the film set. And Mrs.
Fannie even came here? "
Melissa felt tired and didn't want to mention what had happened today. Besides, Zack was a very
thoughtful man. If he knew that she had a mess background, he might not take her side. Therefore, if
he turned to Anna, she would be screwed? So Melissa just shook her head and said, "Nothing. I'm very
tired today. I'll tell you tomorrow, or you can wait for the report tomorrow. Maybe you can know it on the
report."
"I'm your agent. Why didn't you tell me about your work?" Zack got a little anxious and spoke loudly.
After removing her make-up, Melissa was about to change her clothes when she said, "I'm going to
change my clothes. I really have nothing to say. You can ask after I come out. The staff is waiting for
me to change my clothes."
Although Zack was in a rage, the staff in the casting group looked at them eagerly and he could not say
anything else. So he asked Melissa to go first.
However, after changing her clothes and coming out, she found that Zack and Eric were chatting
happily outside. To Melissa's surprise, Eric only had one assistant. His agent, Woody, didn't appear.
Woody disappeared after he came to attend the boot ceremony with Eric in the morning, and Woody
didn't come even after Eric finished filming.
Eric said something to Zack, Zack was very happy. And Zack seemed to have forgotten about asking
Melissa about what had happened. Seeing that Melissa was about to come out, Zack greeted her
enthusiastically, "Alas, Melissa. Eric said he would drive you home at night. I think it is a good idea.
Then let him drive you home. I'll go home myself." Then he turned to Eric and said, "Eric. Thank you for
taking care of my Melissa. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be here now..." Zack kept saying a lot,
almost wanting to hold Eric's hand and weep.
Eric just nodded and smiled at Melissa.
Then Melissa lowered her head, walked to Eric without a word.
Then Zack left. Before he left, he asked Melissa's assistant to leave, so he totally forgot to ask Melissa
about what had happened about Colin and her.
Eric also told his assistant to leave. "Let me drive you home," he said to Melissa.
It seemed that Melissa thought for a long time before she nodded in agreement.
Eric smiled and walked out with her. They went outside and met the stars and the staff. Seeing that Eric
was still in the site at such late time, they begged to take pictures with him. Eric nodded in agreement.
He had always been good tempered in the entertainment circle. Generally speaking, people asked for
autographs, and he would agree if the condition allowed him to do so. And he never got angry. He took
many photos with the staff and actors. It was already 1 a.m. late at night, they finally let him go. They
let him and Melissa leave.
However, after they left, a rumor started to spread around. People gradually believed that there was
something between Eric and Melissa.
In fact, when they were taking pictures with Eric, Melissa had been standing next to him silently. She
had thought a lot. That was why she had made up her mind when she got on Eric's car and headed for
her home.
When Eric arrived at her door and escorted her home, he said to her, "You are home now. This is your
home." The more Melissa thought, the more determined she was. But she was too nervous to speak it
out.
Staring at the floor where she lived for a while, Eric said jokingly, "Don't you want to invite me
upstairs?" Actually, Eric was just kidding, because he knew that Melissa wouldn't agree. Since there
were only two of them in the room, it was late at night. Even if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, the
woman wouldn't have invited the man to go upstairs and have a seat. Besides, as far as he knew about
Melissa, she wasn't a causal woman. So he was just joking. He didn't care if Melissa refused him.
All of a sudden, Melissa seemed to have an impulse and she got really anxious and yelled, "Eric, I
have something to tell you! Come and take a seat at my home!"
