Chapter 271
Francis seemed to sense Skye’s resentful gaze and glared at him. “What are you looking at? Kneel properly, you ingrate! Don’t think this is over!”
It sounded like Francis was not planning to let Skye off the hook so easily.
Sheena thought for a moment, then smiled, offering her support. “Grandpa Francis, I came mainly to take Skye back to the set today. His filming is nearing completion, and it wouldn’t be good if he slips up now. I’ll make sure he apologizes to Eugene and give him a good talking
to.”
Glancing between Sheena and Skye, Francis nodded approvingly. “Alright then, I trust you’ll handle him well.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Francis. If so, I’ll take Starfire with me now,” Sheena said, signaling Skye with a glance.
Skye, nursing his swollen back, struggled to get up from the floor.
The butler, looking concerned, suggested, “Sir, why not apply some ointment on him before he leaves? It’s tough for him to endure the pain and continue filming.
“What for! Why should my beloved Sheena wait for him? He should bear the pain as a lesson. Not only does he need to continue filming, but he must also not miss the charity gala tonight. Got it?”
“Understood,” said the butler.
Skye pouted, his face showing reluctance.
Sheena suppressed her chuckle and turned to Francis. “Well then, Grandpa Francis, I’ll take him with me now. I’ll come to visit you when I have the time.”
After saying that, she approached and supported Skye as he limped out of the hall.
Once they were far from the hall, Skye could not help but ask, “Sheena, you’re not really going to make me apologize to that scumbag at the hospital, right? Please don’t!”
Sheena was puzzled and questioned, “Then tell me, why did you get into a fight?”
Skye sullenly lowered his head. Due to the beating on his buttocks and thighs, he walked awkwardly and broke into a cold sweat. After hesitating momentarily, he admitted, “Because I heard him bad–mouthing you behind your back, saying really nasty things. So, every time I see him, I’ll beat him up. Ouch-
Getting worked up, he accidentally agitated his injuries, causing him to grimace in pain.
Sheena chuckled, finding him suddenly silly and a bit adorable.
“Since that’s the reason, why didn’t you just tell Grandpa Francis?”
Skye replied, “If Grandpa finds out, he might not beat me as harshly. But if he and the butler knew about Eugene’s nasty comments about you, it wouldn’t take long for the entire Zimmer family staff to know. I didn’t want to tarnish your reputation.”
Hearing his explanation, Sheena became more curious.
What exactly did Eugene say about her?
“Is there a recording? Let me hear it.”
Skye hopped into Sheena’s car and played Eugene’s remarks for her.
“I heard that the entertainment company Skye’s in is run by a divorcee, and she’s even an orphan! It’s bizarre. I don’t know how she managed to gain control of Angle Group, but I bet she must’ve slept with Howard! However, I’ve seen her last appearance in the final round of the talent show. She’s quite pretty. It’s too bad that she’s a slut!”
After listening, Sheena’s expression turned dark.
Skye commented, “Listening to this again makes me want to punch him!”
Sheena stopped him. “Behave and go back to the set. Don’t worry about this. Skye protested, “Sheena, are you just going to let him off the hook?”
Smiling slyly, Sheena replied, “Who said I’m letting him off the hook?”
The most uncontrollable thing in the world would be other people’s mouths. It was one thing if she did not hear about it, but now that she heard it, she would make sure Eugene paid the price.
While contemplating in the car, Sheena drove to Farlem World Studios and called Skye’s agent to pick him up.
Skye reluctantly held onto the car door, refusing to get out. “Sheena, must I go filming? There’s supposed to be an action scene today, and I just got beaten up. I can’t do it.”
