Chapter 182
Ava complained to Brian, saying. “You were busy with work and didn’t have time to come to the set, so I came over to help you supervise. As soon as I arrived, I saw Grace sleeping on the chair. I went up and said a few words to her. but who knew that Nancy would hit me as soon as she camel”
Ava completely ignored the part where she kicked Grace. She said pitifully, “Brian, Ms. Patel must hate me for replacing her after she was fired! That’s why she hit me on purposel
Nancy sneered and stood up from her chair. “Ava, I’m not as petty as you think. You know very well why I hit you! If you hadn’t deliberately pushed Grace to the ground and kicked her, would I have hit you?”
Ava retorted, “I only touched her lightly! She deliberately fell to the ground! She was sleeping on the set. What’s wrong with me giving her a kick? Did you have to hit me so hard? You definitely did it on purpose!”
Enraged, Nancy wanted to teach Ava a lesson again. However, Grace stopped her.
Grace said, “Ava, you’re really good at distorting the truth. If I were Nancy, I would beat you up so badly that even your mother wouldn’t recognize you! To stay by Brian’s side, you plotted to get Nancy fired for buying the wrong plane ticket! Your little tricks can only fool a blind person like Brian!”
After saying that, Grace glared at Brian.
Brian frowned slightly. He was facing the light, so Grace could not see his expression. However, she could feel the cold aura emanating from him.
Ava looked at Brian and said pitifully, “Brian, don’t listen to her nonsense. Nancy deliberately came here to sow discord because she felt wronged from being fired by you!”
Brian looked at her coldly and commanded, “Shut up. Let’s go back to the hotel.”
“Wait!” Nancy called out to Ava.
“Are you planning to leave just like that after bullying Grace? Apologize to her immediately!” ordered Nancy as she glared at Ava coldly.
Ava looked aggrieved and pitiful as she stared at Brian. “Brian, look, she hit me and even asked me to apologize! They’ve gone too far!”
Nancy reasoned, “I hit you to seek justice for myself. You bullied Grace, so you have to apologize to her.”
Nancy blocked Ava’s way, showing no intention of letting Ava go until she apologized to Grace.
Ava hid behind Brian and looked at him with puppy eyes. She pleaded, “Brian…”

Grace glanced at Brian coldly and met his dark gaze. She seemed to be waiting for him to say something.
Grace wondered whether Brian would protect Ava as he did in the villa or he would make Ava apologize to her.
Brian looked at Grace’s cold and emotionless gaze. His mind was filled with the scene of her smiling at Justin two days ago.
Brian took two steps forward and saw the dark circles under Grace’s eyes. He frowned and said in a low voice, “If you didn’t sleep well, you should have taken leave to rest in the hotel. Who asked you to come to the set?”

Grace thought, ‘So, is he accusing me now?‘
Brian chided, “Nob*dy wants to see your pale, sleep–deprived face. Go back to the hotel. If people see you like this, they’ll think that I’ve been abusing you.”
Grace sneered. She laughed at herself for thinking too highly of Brian.
She slowly turned around and walked back to the chair beside the director. She sat down and said, “I’m sorry, Director. I accidentally fell asleep just now. Which scene were we at?”
Brian was so enraged by her actions that his ch*st heaved violently. He stared at her back for a long time before his phone rang. Brian answered the call and turned around to return to the hotel.
