Chapter 223
Hanzel thought about it, then picked her up to bring her to a trailer.
The director smiled creepily as his eyes lit up.
“I need to continue filming, Pearl. Stay here and take a shower. There are plenty of clothes in the trailer, all dry. Pick anything to wear.” Hanzel gently laid Pearl down on the bed and offered a reassuring reminder.
Pearl just took a few gulps of water, so she was fine. She nodded.
After Hanzel left, she took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and laid down to rest. As a precaution, she locked the door from the inside. However, she was suddenly startled when she heard a key turning in the keyhole.
The door swung open a second later, revealing the director standing outside, sending alarm bells ringing in Pearl’s mind.
“Do you need help?” he asked, attempting to appear nonchalant.
Although Pearl was flustered, she pretended that nothing was wrong.
“Miss Pearl. I just love how you look down on everyone. I wonder how you would look under a man,” he said, his lustful thoughts running wild. Men were often drawn to contradictions, and he was no exception.
“I hope you remember who you are. If news about you assaulting women spreads, it’s not going to help your reputation.”
Pearl recalled something about this man. He was known for being respectful and was considered a breath of fresh air in the industry. However, beneath his friendly facade, he was a monster.
“Whatever. You have no evidence, and this is my set. Do you think anyone will stop me from doing as I please? I’ll let you in on a little secret. I planned the incident where you were pushed into the water. If I hadn’t done that, how could I have had the opportunity to be alone with you?”
The director couldn’t contain his desires any longer, so he lunged at Pearl.
Pearl instinctively moved back, grabbed a nearby vase, and smashed it on the floor.
The loud crash didn’t seem to concern the director. Why are you breaking things? Just be careful not to hurt those delicate hands of yours,” he leered, revealing his sinister intentions. “I’ve customized this trailer. The soundproofing is quite effective so no one outside can hear you…’
Pearl knew this man was a monster who assaulted countless women in this place. She took out her phone and dialed, but the man grabbed it and threw it to the floor.
Pearl kicked him angrily.
“You’re quite strong, but I’ve had my share of training. You won’t overpower me unless you have the strength of two strong men. Miss Pearl, you should give up and let me have my way.’

Once again, the man lunged at her, tearing at her clothes as they struggled.
Suddenly, the trailer door was kicked open, and it flew wide. Hanzel stormed in.
“What the hell are you doing to Pearl?” Hanzel shouted, his eyes filled with rage upon seeing Pearl pinned down on the bed. He grabbed the director and punched his face.
Pearl quickly adjusted her clothing and stood up with a cold expression. “I’m fine. Call the police.” Fear flickered in the director’s eyes. ‘No way. How could someone manage to get here so quickly?’
