Nangong Lin flushed red, her head feeling even heavier. She couldn’t help but struggle, "Anyway, I’m telling you, if you have any schemes, I’ll make sure you pay for it."

"Hmph." Alvin snorted, his temper sparked by her as well. His eyes darkened, and he applied a bit more pressure to her chin, "I’m telling you, Nangong Lin, I’m not the person you think I am. But you seem to be enjoying this, so I won’t mind stirring things up once more, as you wish!"

Alvin said this out of frustration with Nangong Lin. He really had let it go, but he never expected that in her mind, he was such a scoundrel.

After saying that, Alvin released Nangong Lin, and with a deliberate provocation, added, "Let’s see what you can do to me!"

Nangong Lin was instantly enraged, unable to hold back as she rolled up her sleeves, wanting to punch Alvin. But after assessing the height and body size difference, Nangong Lin decisively gave up.

Instead, she said angrily, "Fine, let’s wait and see. I’ll tell your--mom tomorrow! Just wait to get a thrashing!"

Nangong Lin was fuming, and after throwing down her harsh words, she stormed angrily into the house.

Alvin found her stumbling figure amusing. How does this woman survive in the entertainment industry?

Isn’t she quite old already?

How can she still be so naive?

It must be due to her family background, otherwise, with her demeanor in the entertainment circle, she’d be devoured completely.

This thought darkened Alvin’s expression for a moment, and an unconscious chill flashed through his amber eyes.

Just thinking about how naive this woman was, and then about the dark and unspeakable scenes in the entertainment industry, he somehow felt uncomfortable.

This emotion was strange, and Alvin shook his head, ignoring the thought. What did it matter to him if she got devoured?

Maybe she even enjoys it, as there aren’t many clean women in the entertainment industry.

But Nangong Lin might be an exception.

No, stop. Why is he thinking about this? What does it matter to him anyway?

Just as he was about to turn back to his room, Nangong Lin suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, face planting into the dirt.

Alvin’s brow twitched, instinctively wanting to rush over, but he hesitated, furrowing his brows. Why should he care about her?

She already thought so poorly of him, there’s no way he’d be kind enough to help her.

Turning around, he went back inside. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But before he could close the door, he felt uneasy, recalling her words threatening him, and imagining her awkwardly lying on the ground. Alvin’s eyes darkened.

Prone on the ground, Nangong Lin felt utterly embarrassed. Just moments ago, she was acting all big and intimidating, but now she had fallen flat on her face. She must be utterly humiliated!

What a pitiful and comical situation!

She tried to get up but realized she couldn’t move. A piercing pain shot through her ankle.

Oh no, is my foot broken?

Nangong Lin was on the verge of tears from both pain and embarrassment. She hurriedly wanted to reach for her phone to call her assistant, but unfortunately, she left her phone in the room charging and hadn’t brought it with her.

This is really tragic.

Her foot hurts so much, moving even slightly makes her grimace in pain. While gingerly trying to shift, Nangong Lin winced and cursed under her breath, "Damn, that Alvin, such a heartless jerk!"

Couldn’t he help her up when he saw her fall!
