    The housekeeper continued, "Ms. Packer also said she has helped you all for the past year and a hall only beaten ym also bully a woman who''s an orphan


    "She can''t stand it ammore. You should be seeking help from L, not


    her." Dorian delt inndted, but thest part ignited his fury. It was indeed L''s doing!


    What on earth had she done toince someone like Alex, who wasn''teven close to her, to risk angering him, a screen legend, on her behalf?


    He had underestimated L, she was truly capable! Dostan''s expression italented.

    He couldn''t help butpare

    Noticing him clenching his fists, she realized sheid hit the nail on the head. But one king puzzled her since Dorahade to visit Alex personally, why would stir stille t? What exactly had L done? Dorian Lexpression was grim "Thisisa hur troublesopee

    As he thought thes, he received a

    Dn hadn''t expected the news to spread so quickly.


    "Is the news


    spreading this fast because someone''s deliberately spreading it?" Zara pointed out.


    His expression grew colder. He became more convinced that this was L''s undeshed tactic to force him topromise.


    Without hesitation, he hung up the phone and headed straight to L''s ce. Alterbanging on the door for half the day, there was still no answer.


    His anger


    er boiled over, not only had Alex shut him out, but now L was repeatedly


    making it impossible for him to find her. Was she trying to assert her dominance over him?


    He furiously called her several times before she finally picked up.


    "You need to ensure Ms. Parker continues teaching Darcy right now, or else


    Lfrowned. "Or else what?"


    "you really think I don''t know what you did at Mount Shasta a couple of days ago?”


    She was taken aback. "You know and still called me?"


    “L, are you really that stubbom? Let me tell you, if you don''t rehire Ms. Parker, it''ll be over between uns!"

    opportunities. What about you, L?


    What do you have left without me?"


    Did she really believe she could control him with just one incident involving Alex? Once he reimed all ser resources and connections, she would realize that


    she


    was merely a subordinate to him.


    "I''ll give you three days to consider If not, I''ll make your departure from my team public. Just wait and see; I''ll show you how the industry reacts, and think about


    how my fans will treat you. The outrage you wanted will be a reality!"


    Listening to his harsh threats, L couldn''t help but feel a painful ache in her chest despite having told herselt many times that they were no longermected.


    Feeling overwhelmingly distressed, she didn''t cry
