Chapter 1786 Abuse

As I walked out of the room, I slammed the door shut behind me.

Meanwhile, Millie was surrounded by Nathaniel’s bodyguards outside the room. It was a tense situation.

But when she saw me coming out, she calmed down a little. “Is everything okay?” she asked.

I nodded and gave her a look of reassurance.

Not long after, Nathaniel came out as well.

Then, I couldn’t help but tease him a little. “Since we don’t know each other well, I guess you have no

reason to detain my bodyguard, right? Mr. Hall?”

Nathaniel nonchalantly took a glance at his bodyguards and gave them a signal to let Millie go.

“Thank you,” I thanked him blandly before leaving with Millie.

While we were walking away, I whispered to Millie, “Were Nathaniel’s bodyguards hard to handle?

Seeing that you had to do it alone just now, how about I hire someone to assist you?”

Millie then put on a serious face and said, “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Stovall. But there’s no need.

I didn’t engage because Nathaniel had no intention to cause you any harm. I would only be causing you

more trouble if I started a conflict with them. But if needed, they were no match for me, anyway.”

I was rendered speechless.

But right as those words left her mouth, we heard loud slapping sounds coming from nearby.

I waded in through the crowd, and as soon as I turned, I saw that it was Rebecca and her set.

As I expected, the sounds originated from Rebecca relentlessly slapping Ashton on the right side of his

face.

Although he didn’t seem to mind the constant abuse, I couldn’t stand watching from the side anymore.

Hence, I rushed toward him to shield him from Rebecca. She missed, and her palm landed on my head

instead.

The impact was so hard that I lost my balance. But Ashton was quick to react as he reached out to help

me up.

But the moment I managed to stand upright, he swiftly took a few steps away from me and remained still.

His reactions were understandable because, firstly, we were in public. Secondly, we were in Rebecca’s

territory. He had no choice but to keep a distance from me.

Before I could even regain my composure, Rebecca went bananas again. She started pointing at me and

had a go at me. “You disgusting woman! Ashton had already left his family behind. He even lost his

dignity just to please me. And yet, you still have the courage to come and defend him? You deserve

everything that’s happening to you right now!”

I gritted my teeth and glared at her. But I had to hold myself back from retaliating because she was so

mentally unstable.

“What? Did I say anything wrong? But then again, there’s nothing else you can do to me besides glaring.

Did you see that? Your beloved Ashton stood still and let me slap him as I wished. Is your heart aching

for him?” Rebecca laughed hysterically and continued, “I will not let him off the hook, and the same goes

for you. After I’m done with him, you’re next.”

“Are you done?” Ashton suddenly asked in a frosty voice.

“Ashton Fuller, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you forgotten what you’ve done to me?

There’s nothing you can do to repay me, not even with your life!” Rebecca yelled in anger. Her tantrum

didn’t seem like it was going to end anytime soon. She even lashed out at the crew and yelled, “What are

you all looking at? Get lost! What a bunch of useless dimwits!”

Although the crew was infuriated upon hearing that, they had to do whatever she had instructed because

she was an investor.

By then, Ashton couldn’t care to be gentle anymore. He walked toward Rebecca and grabbed her by her

wrist. Without hesitation, he dragged her away from the set.

“Let me go, Ashton! I said, let me go!”

Rebecca’s voice lingered until both she and Ashton disappeared from sight.

The crowd dispersed soon after that. As I took a quick glance around, I saw Nathaniel standing right

outside the studio expressionlessly.

Without a doubt, he had seen how I defended Ashton.
