?Chapter 527:


    “Who the hell do you think you are to order me around?” Cathy snarled, cracking her whip through the air.


    The proximity between them meant dodging was not a wise choice. Elena caught the whip mid-swing, gripping it tight.


    Cathy yanked the whip once, twice, three times, but Elena held firm.


    Cathy’s face flushed with frustration and embarrassment. “Let go, or I’ll kill you! Don’t think for a second I won’t catch you, you filthy slut!”


    Cathy took a deep breath, bracing herself to rip the whip from Elena’s grip. But Elena abruptly let go. Cathy staggered, her footing slipping, and crashed onto the floor with an ungraceful thud.


    Her bodyguard rushed forward, hands out. “Miss Garrett, are you okay?”


    Cathy shot up, rage ring. Without hesitation, she kicked the bodyguard. “Fucking useless!” Her jaw clenched tight. “Call for backup. Now!”


    The bodyguard, well-trained in obeying without question, fumbled for his phone and made the call.


    Elena stood still, watching Cathy. Any trace of warmth in her eyes faded into cold indifference.


    Kenton stood frozen, stunned. How had this turned into an all-out fight? He thought about stepping in, but one look at Cathy’s face made him swallow that idea real quick. He wasn’t about to risk his job—or his life—by pissing her off. Cathy was the most fiery woman he’d ever dealt with—one wrong move, and she’d snap. Literally. Lucky for everyone, Elena knew how to handle herself.


    Otherwise, someone could have ended up scarred for life.


    Kenton had no choice but to call Louis.


    Earlier, some girl had shown up looking for Louis, and he’d stepped away from the set.


    If anything happened to Elena on the set, there was no way Kenton could exin it to Louis.


    The moment Louis got the call, he rushed back without hesitation. He showed up just in time to hear Cathy jabbing a finger at Elena, snarling, “You slut! Just wait—I’ll make you regret this!”


    Louis’ expression darkened instantly, his voice cutting like a de. “Who the hell are you insulting, Miss Garrett? Did you forget to rinse that filthy mouth of yours this morning, or do you just enjoy talking shit?”

    Louis never imagined that during his brief absence, Elena would run into a troublemaker stirring up chaos.


    Louis had heard about Cathy’s shocking behavior.


    Typically, Louis stayed out of women’s affairs, but Cathy’s provocation against Elena was too much to ignore.


    Louis confronted Cathy firmly, saying, “Miss Garrett, we’re on a set, not at your family’s estate. Save your airs for home and spare us the embarrassment here.”


    “Louis!” Cathy shouted, her anger evident. “Stay out of this. It’s none of your business!”


    Kiera, gentle and soft-spoken, stood quietly behind Louis.


    Louis positioned himself firmly in front of Elena, while Kiera gently extended her small hand to take Elena’s. Looking up, her face filled with concern, she asked, “Elena, are you alright?”


    Elena responded with a reassuring squeeze.


    Louis positioned himself in front of Elena, his stance protective. “None of my business? Cathy, if I give you a piece of my mind right now, would that be none of your business either?”
