Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 35: Leo

"Shut up. I don’t give a damn if it’s for the box office. Even if it can’t be released, it’s none of my business. I got my paycheck anyway!

I’ve been in the entertainment industry for twenty-odd years, and no one has ever dared to disrespect me like this!

Besides, she’s just some Z-list nobody. It’s her good fortune that I’ve taken an interest in her. How dare she look down on me? Who does she think she is?"

Riley Perry, whose Divine Sense was powerful, was already keeping a close eye on Miles Ford. Hearing his arrogant rant, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes. ’That old creep actually dares to covet me. I think just making him impotent would be letting him off too easy!’

Miles Ford also had a night scene, but the filming didn’t go smoothly. He only finished after ten o’clock. Once he was done, his car left quickly.

Back in his room, Miles Ford had a small drink before washing up and going to bed.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, the hotel room door beeped open.

A figure entered the room.

The man on the bed seemed about to wake up. Riley Perry raised her hand, and a talisman flew to Miles Ford’s forehead. The next second, the talisman vanished, and Miles Ford opened his eyes.

But his eyes were empty and dull, as if he had lost his soul.

A woman’s pleasant voice sounded, "Go to room 1013. Now. Immediately."

Miles Ford obediently nodded, slipped on a robe, and walked out of the room.

Riley Perry opened the room’s window directly. The chain that had been quietly coiled around her wrist suddenly transformed into a longsword. The sword hovered in the air, its hilt inlaid with countless beautiful gems, looking exceptionally precious at a glance.

Riley Perry stepped onto the sword. It seemed overjoyed and began to spin in the air with her on it. Afraid of being delayed, Riley quickly said, "The Ayr Jade, let’s go down first. I’ll find a safe place later and let you fly as much as you want."

The Ayr Jade was very obedient, taking Riley Perry directly to the window of room 1013. Riley opened the window and climbed onto the sill. The sword automatically turned back into a chain and coiled around her wrist, and Riley entered the room through the window.

On the bed in the bedroom, Raymond Warren was sleeping like a log.

’This guy... I’ve been wanting to deal with him for a while, but I’ve been too busy filming to find the time.’

’Now that the disgusting Miles Ford has shown up, I can deal with both of them at once.’

The sound of slippers shuffling on the carpet came from the hallway. Riley Perry stuffed a pill into Raymond Warren’s mouth. Seeing his throat move, she went to open the door.

The person outside pushed, and the door opened.

Riley Perry stood in front of Miles Ford. "Get in bed and go to sleep."

Miles Ford obediently climbed into bed and even took off his robe.

Raymond Warren, on the bed, was already showing a reaction. Riley Perry took out her phone and called Rocco, who had been following her for the past few days. "Are you asleep?"

Rocco had been sent by Justin Locke to follow Riley Perry. When they arrived, they had greeted her and proactively given her the phone numbers of all three of them, telling her to call if she needed anything. Tonight was the first time Riley Perry had contacted them.

Rocco’s excited voice came through the phone, "Not at all, Miss Perry. Just tell me what you need."

"Come to room 1013."

"You got it, Miss Perry. I’m on my way."

After hanging up, Riley Perry left through the window again. Once back in her own room, she turned on her computer and hacked into the hotel’s security feed.

The bracelet on her wrist flashed. "Master, what are you doing?"

Riley Perry stroked the gems on the bracelet, communicating with her Lifebound Spirit Sword via her Divine Sense. "You just woke up, so there’s a lot you don’t know. I’ve returned to my original world now. The Spiritual Energy here is extremely thin, not enough for me to have another breakthrough in my cultivation. It’s already a great fortune that I was able to wake you up. But there are also a lot of fun things here. You’ll find out later."

Just then, Rocco appeared on the computer screen.

He had reached the outside of room 1013.

The gems on the bracelet flickered as it also looked at the computer screen. It thought this thing was amazing, much like the Memory Stones from the Cultivation Realm. But this thing seemed more convenient. After all, not just anyone could afford a Memory Stone; those things were a rare and not particularly useful resource.

Rocco was indeed fast. When he arrived, he found the door unlocked and pushed it right open. He was truly shocked when he saw the two people on the bed. No, it was just Raymond Warren. He was frantically tearing at the underwear of the person beneath him, while the other person was like a corpse, completely unresponsive.

Just then, his phone rang. "Miss Perry..."

"Make sure you get a good video~. That’s money you’re looking at." The call ended.

Although Rocco had been questioning his life choices since stepping into the room, it didn’t stop him from doing his job. The camera was already rolling.

Riley Perry kept her eyes glued to the computer screen. Half an hour later, when Rocco left room 1013, she quickly deleted the footage of him in the hallway. After confirming there were no loose ends, she washed up and went to bed.

The first thing Rocco did after returning to his room was contact his boss. In their line of work, staying up late was normal, so Justin Locke was still awake.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen with Riley Perry?"

"Boss, something did happen, but not to our ’little ancestor’."

Justin Locke, who had been staring at his computer screen, immediately looked away. ’How long has it been? Rocco’s form of address has already changed from ’Miss Perry’ to ’little ancestor’?’

"What’s with the nonsense nickname? Just talk."

Rocco said, "I’ve already sent what I recorded to your computer. I think our little ancestor—no, Miss Perry—I think this is what Miss Perry wanted."

Justin Locke clicked open the file and played it. Rocco’s camera work was pretty good; the two people tangled up on the bed were filmed very clearly. When he recognized who they were, his first reaction was: "What happened on set during the day?"

The film set didn’t allow outsiders to film, but there are always ways around the rules. Rocco had gone in directly as an extra. So he actually did know what had happened during the day.

Rocco’s mind started working. Everything on set had seemed normal, but when connected with tonight’s events, something didn’t add up. "During the day, Miss Perry changed the scene. It was a scene with that old bastard surnamed Ford. They had physical contact, and Miss Perry suddenly said the scene wasn’t right and wanted to change it.

Damn it, don’t tell me that old bastard took advantage of Miss Perry during the physical contact?

Otherwise, Miss Perry wouldn’t have dealt with him like this!"

Justin Locke asked, "Didn’t you say her character has no intimate scenes?"

Rocco replied, "She doesn’t. I slipped the assistant director some cigarettes on set, and he told me. The show is on a tight schedule, so they can’t change the script anymore. Today’s scene was just helping him up. That bastard Ford couldn’t have done anything too over the line, or with Miss Perry’s temper, she would have exploded on the spot."

Justin Locke breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Alright, you keep an eye on things on set. If it comes down to it, just act as her assistant."

He knew Riley Perry had a young assistant, but the girl hadn’t been with her for the past couple of days. It wouldn’t matter if she came back anyway, since Stardust wasn’t paying Rocco’s salary.
