The director covered his face, anxious but still trying to assert himself. “Hanzel, please don’t call the
police. I know you’ve been eager for a lead role. I’ll give it to you. You can have the lead role in all my
future shows. Just don’t involve the police!”
Hanzel wasn’t easily swayed. He glanced at the disheveled Pearl and dialed 911 without hesitation.
“You can explain that to the police when they arrive.”
The director grew angry. “If you call the police, you won’t be able to survive in this industry!”
Hanzel tightened his grip on his phone. “Whatever. I’ll just quit.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPearl raised her brows. “No, Hanzel. What are you saying?”
Hanzel smiled at her. “It’s fine. If I can’t act anymore, I’ll just go back home and inherit the family
fortune.”
He said that casually, but Pearl could see the pain in his eyes.
This director was very famous, so anyone who offended him would offend half the industry. Even if
Hanzel was talented, the business world and entertainment world were so different it wouldn’t help him
one bit.
However, she never expected Hanzel to be willing to give up his career for her. She couldn’t believe it.
“You’re too naive, kid,” the director remarked, standing up with a mysterious smile. “None of the
precincts here dare to cross me. Do you really think I’m afraid of you calling the police?”
Pearl raised an eyebrow, as she hadn’t anticipated the director having connections with the police force
in the area.
The officers arrived soon and were taken aback. It was a famous director and a Waldorf. They couldn’t
afford to offend either side!
“Mister Hanzel, I assume you made the call?” one of the officers inquired with a smile.
Hanzel nodded. “Yes, Officer. Mister Leslie here assaulted my manager, or rather, attempted to r*pe
her. I arrived just in time to stop him.”
The message was clear, but the officers hesitated, unsure of how to proceed, and turned their attention

The director maintained a composed expression as he questioned, “You’re accusing me of attempted
r*pe. Do you have any proof?”
Pearl looked at him with a chilling gaze. “You don’t feel guilty at all?”
The director threw up his hands to pretend to be innocent. “But you don’t have proof. I’d fold if you
could produce a voice recording or video.” He was confident they lacked any evidence and gloated
inwardly.
Pearl raised her brow. “So you’re saying I made a false report?”
“I don’t know. Maybe you’re trying to extort me and gain entry into the industry with my help. You might
have lied to lure me here. The bottom line is, I didn’t come to see you. Everyone knows that I’m a
trustworthy person. People would think you’re joking if you claim I r*ped you.”
