Chapter 2009

Staring at Eliza’s slim figure, Chester was not really angry. Instead, he felt an itchy sensation.

If he had not experienced the kiss, he would not have felt so strongly about it.

At this point, he was just like a junkie. Not only did he want to get Eliza, but he also wanted to conquer
her.

At night, Eliza took time out to have a meal with Director Lear.

Director Lear was merely an insignificant director. In fact, he was not qualified to eat with Eliza
considering her status. However, it was Director Lear who shot Eliza’s first movie when she had just
joined the entertainment industry. Therefore, she took their past relationship into consideration.

Director Lear took the initiative to pour her a cup of coffee. “Four years have flown by. At that time, you
were still studying. Who would’ve expected that a young girl like you would become a well-known
celebrity in the blink of an eye?”

“Don’t say that. If it hadn’t been for your guidance, I wouldn’t have come this far with my acting skills.”

Eliza’s response was perfunctory. At this point, her soul was Charity, so she did not have any memories
of what Eliza had done in the past. However, it was through the assistant that she learned that Director
Lear used to lend Eliza a hand.

“Eliza, I actually came here to ask you a favor.” Director Lear handed her his script. “This is the new
movie I spent three years preparing for. But with my status, I know there won’t be any good actors who
will be willing to work with me. I’m not begging you to be the female lead of this movie either. Having
said that, you can take a look at it. If you’re happy with it, you can consider taking on the role.”



“I’ll take a good look at it.” Eliza took over the script.

She was under no illusions that Director Lear was one of the very few honest directors in the industry,
so she did not turn him down.

Even so… She had no idea if she was eligible to act in movies in the future.



Perhaps after tonight…

Ding! She received a message on her phone. She tapped it open and realized that it was Tristan who
sent the message. [We’ve intruded into the

hospital. We’re ready to make a move.] She replied: [Be careful.]

They finished the me-al at 8:30 p.m. Eliza drew a piece of tissue paper to wipe her mouth. She smiled
and said politely, “Director Lear, I have something to attend to later. After I finish going through your
script, I’ll contact you again.”

“Sure.”

Considering her status, Director Lear was already grateful that she was willing to talk to him for over
two hours.

After getting in the car, Eliza drove to an average neighborhood. When she arrived there, she received
a new message from Tristan. [I’ve taken her out. We’ll send her to the old place.]

Eliza changed her clothes in the car. Soon, she drove an unlicensed black Toyota and headed out of
the city.



An hour later, she drove into a factory. A van was parked at the factory compound.

Upon noticing her arrival, Tristan got out of the van with two subordinates. “Miss Robbins, we’ve
brought the woman here.”

He opened the trunk. Sarah was tied up with a cloth stuffed in her mouth. She was unconscious.

Eliza gazed at her silently with grim eyes. Her pretty face was impassive.

Tristan whispered, “ Sarah probably fainted on the bed because she used that tube of toothpaste. Even
the caretaker didn’t know about it and thought that she fell asleep. I entered the hospital by posing as a
doctor and knocked the caretaker unconscious.

When I came out, the bodyguards at the door were unaware of it. Having said that, I reckon I can’t hide
this for long. If I’m lucky, the bodyguards will find out about this issue at 6:00 a.m. or 7:0 a.m. tomorrow.
They might even find out in the wee hours.” “I got it. Thank you, Tristan.” Eliza took out a few cards
from her purse and handed them to him. “You guys take the money and leave Australia tomorrow
morning. I’ve already settled the visas for you guys.”
