Chapter 384

Although she was semi-conscious and did not have a clear look during the earlier scene in the hotel, she knew that Joel had saved her.

After they were in the car, she leaned against his chest and finally had the strength to utter, “Thank you.”

With downcast eyes, Joel stared at her.

He came out today for business. As he was not in the best of moods lately, he did not bring along any women but it had never crossed his mind that he would bump into her here.

In such a mess too.

Was she not at a shoot? Why was she with a bunch of scums?

Of course, he was aware of the open rules in entertainment and knew of a few people who loved to toy with female celebrities to validate their existence.

In those cases, it was sex in exchange for favor through mutual consent, and he had never taken a personal interest in that.

This sort of thing also happened in Anning International. As long as both parties were willing, everyone often turned a blind eye and paid no attention.

After all, not everyone could be expected to remain with a squeaky clean reputation and a saint in this corrupted industry.

However, he had never thought that this would happen to her one day.

Clenching his fist, he gazed at the woman with flushed cheeks who was about to lose consciousness. He resented the fact that he went soft earlier and did not cripple the Lawson guy right then and there!

Although he might have lost the opportunity to cripple him on the spot, he could still do it later!

No hurry though, he could take things slow.

The priority was to get to the bottom of this matter.

With that in mind, he smacked her face.

“Hey, Katz. Don’t play dead with me. Tell me what happened.”

Nonetheless, Lucy kept her eyes closed and showed no reaction.

Joel frowned in displeasure.

He refused to believe Lucy would abandon her dignity and fame, even selling her charm and body to drink with dirty old men for the sake of money.

By the looks of the state she was in, he probably would not be getting an answer.

Hence, Joel drove her to a hospital without further questions.

Lucy was not out of it for long.

She woke up about two hours later.

Lucy opened her eyes to a white ceiling. It took several seconds before she realized where she was.

As expected, she turned her head and saw the man entering through the door.

“Are you awake?”

With a stiffened face, Joel asked with a rather displeased tone.

Blinking her eyes, Lucy propped herself up.

“How did I end up in a hospital? Did you send me here?”

Joel curled his lips sneeringly. “What am I supposed to do, have you be all over me and act as your antidote instead of sending you to the hospital?”

Dumbstruck, Lucy looked at him in shock.

“I was all over you?”

“What do you think?”

“Huh...”

To be frank, her memory could be fuzzy because she was drugged and drunk, but she did not experience any blackouts due to the faint drug effect.

All she could remember was that she was saved by Joel and somehow vaguely getting into a car. Nowhere in her memory did she act indecently towards him.

Lucy was pretty confident of her self control.

Moreover...

She glanced at Joel’s androgynous and overly exquisite face.

She was not a fan of girly boys.

As Lucy stared intently at Joel, the latter thought that she was struck by a string of conscience because she was guilt-stricken by all that she had done to him after he saved her last night.

He was prepared to accept her a string of apologies and sincere confession when to his dismay, the girl shook her head.

She calmly spewed two words. “No way.”

Joel was speechless.

Lucy answered in a serious tone, “I remember clearly what I did. The most I did was borrow your shoulder to lean on and nothing else. Don’t you bluff.”

Joel was at a loss of words.

Why did he have a feeling that he had rescued an ungrateful wretch?

At that moment, Joel really wanted to stuff her back into the hotel and watch her survive on her own!

He must have lost his mind last night to save her. He even destroyed the entire Yesheng Enterprise for her sake!

Unaware of his thoughts, Lucy took a glance at the time and realized that it was 3:00 a.m.

She exclaimed, “Oh gawd! It’s really late!”

Lucy had parts to shoot on set tomorrow afternoon and Director Yuri had always been strict. She was already feeling guilty for her horrible performance in the past few days and if she were to be in bad shape during the shooting tomorrow due to her late return, she would blame herself for it.

So she immediately got down from the bed and put on a jacket while letting Joel know. “Regardless, thank you! I’m not without a conscience. I’ll treat you to a meal as a thank you for saving me last night. That’s all for now. Bye!”

Waving her hand at him, she pulled open the door and left.

Left.

Left.

Left.

Joel stood there, staring at the empty bed. He felt like an idiot when he thought about what he did several hours ago!

What the hell!

Clenching his teeth, he shouted angrily, “Lucy Katz, you ungrateful b*tch! I will never get into your business or my last name isn’t Foster!”

However, Lucy was long gone. How could she possibly hear what he said?

In the end, Joel fell back on his bottoms on the bed in a huff before calling Luis.

“Look into what the hell happened last night. Let me know once you’ve investigated.”

...

Upon her return, Lucy took a shower and plopped into bed.

She had never thought that she would sleep until 9:00 a.m.

She had a shoot at 10:00 a.m. and at least two hours were required to get into costume, hair, and makeup for historical dramas.

Normally, everyone would arrive several hours before. As the director did not see her first thing in the morning, he had arranged for someone to search the hotel and found out that she was still in bed. Due to that, he looked upset all morning.

“What did you do last night? Why did you get up so late today?”

Lucy let out an embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry, director. I went out to take care of something last night and returned quite late. I’m sorry to have wasted your time.”

“Alright, it’s okay. Get into makeup then.”

“Okay.”

As Lucy advanced to the dressing room, Suzy snorted to see her in a scurry.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 383 Second Young Master Foster Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Others may not know where she went last night but she had a clue.

Because...

She curled her lips coldly as she recalled the photographs someone had sent to her phone last night which had put her in a lighter mood.

There was no rush to handle this. She really had to work this to her favor. Although it was only a minor affair, she might receive good news if she played it right.

After all, who would have thought a supporting actress on the set would go to a place like that and get involved in a scandal with a guy!

The scandal would spread far and wide before the drama was released. By then, that woman might not be able to hold onto the supporting role.

With that in mind, Suzy snickered in delight. Just then, she was called by the director for the next scene, prompting her to move to the set.

Lucy returned to the dressing room for hair and makeup.

While her face was painted, she forked out her phone and gave Susan a call.
