Chapter 970: Hands Off Her!

Anthony said in a nonchalant tone, "Almost became your sister-in-law, satisfied with this answer?"

Upon hearing Anthony's response, Aaron visibly froze, even a bit surprised. In Aaron's impression,

Anthony had always been someone who enjoyed the company of women but never got emotionally

attached. If there were any women around him, it was merely a passing fling, a casual romance. He

wouldn't genuinely invest his heart, as Anthony's situation could lead to countless problems if he ever

became emotionally attached to someone.

So, when Anthony said what he did, Aaron didn't know how to respond. After a brief silence, Aaron

finally spoke in a low voice, "Big bro, I'm sorry. I genuinely didn't know about your relationship with Miss

Thompson, so I... "

"We don't have any relationship," Anthony interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "Since

you chose to enter the entertainment industry, you better behave yourself and climb up the ladder

based on your own abilities. If you think you lack the talent and are just being foolish, I suggest you quit

the industry now and come back to take over the family business."

Anthony's tone was slightly gloomy, tinged with hidden anger. In the Austi family, the only person Aaron

feared besides his father was Anthony.

"Big bro, I know I was wrong. I won't do such things again in the future," Aaron said. He knew Anthony

was a man of his word, and if Anthony asked him to quit the industry, the Austi family would surely

agree with Anthony's decision.

"If there's another incident like this, you won't need to stay in the industry anymore," Anthony warned

before promptly hanging up the phone.

After ending the call with Aaron, Anthony dialed Belle's number.

Belle answered the call while helping Selena pack her things.

"Hey, big bro," Belle greeted.

"Busy?" Anthony inquired.

"Yeah, getting ready for a shoot outside in a couple of days, just organizing some stuff," Belle replied.

"Got a question for you," Anthony spoke in a hushed voice.

Upon hearing Anthony's words, Belle's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily. "Go ahead, ask," she

said.

"Are you dating Selena?"

Belle's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Anthony's question. "No, of course not. How could I..."

"Belle, you think you can hide anything from me if I want to know?" Belle's words were interrupted by

Anthony's voice. "You can scheme against others, but you can't do that to Sandy."

"Brother... do you like Sandy?" Belle asked, shifting the topic after hearing Anthony's warning.

"That's the last time. If there's a next time, try it and see if your precious Selena can stay in the

entertainment industry," Anthony replied evasively.

Anthony's words left Belle feeling anxious. "Are you calling to warn me not to meddle with Sandy?"

"You think I'm concerned about who you're dating?" Anthony retorted. "Just remember what I said.

Otherwise, if Selena falls from grace one day, you'll have played a part in it."

Before Belle could respond, Anthony hung up the phone.

Hiruma, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but comment, "Anthony, why bother? You're

going out of your way to protect her, but she's completely clueless. Besides, now..."

"Hiruma, you'll meet someone someday whom you'll want to protect at all costs," Anthony interrupted

before Hiruma could finish his sentence. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Hiruma fell silent after being cut off by Anthony.

Simsang Entertainment.

After Anthony hung up on Belle, she immediately called Aaron.

"Did big bro call you too?" Belle asked directly after the call connected.

Aaron knew that Anthony had also contacted Belle. He answered in a low voice, "Yeah, about Sandy."

"Big bro warned you too?" Belle asked.

"Otherwise, do you think he called to ask how I'm doing on the set?" Aaron replied in a hushed tone.

"Be careful with your involvement with Selena. If anyone finds out about you two, you're done for,"

Belle cautioned before Aaron hung up first.

Seeing the call end, Belle cursed under her breath and threw her phone aside.

Just then, the door opened, and Selena walked in. Seeing Belle packing, she approached and said,

"You'll be away for a long time this time, so bring more stuff."

Belle asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Selena responded with an "mmm" and then locked the door before moving closer to Belle. She

embraced Belle and sighed, "Belle, I'm a bit tired."

Belle gently patted Selena's back. "No pain, no gain."

Selena chuckled. "You've said that many times already."

Belle looked up at Selena and asked, "What do you want, then?"

Selena's gaze fell on Belle's collarbone, and her intentions were evident.

Belle shook her head repeatedly. "No, not here, it's the company."

After Belle spoke, Selena let go of her and retrieved two items from a nearby box. "I found these when I

came in. There's nothing in the room now."

Belle looked at the listening device and micro camera in Selena's hands and furrowed her brow. "Do

you know who put them there?"

"Your dear brother, of course," Selena said as she tossed the items aside. "Your brother holds a

remarkable grudge against me."

Belle hadn't expected Aaron to do something like this.

After a moment of silence, she stepped forward and hugged Selena. "I'm sorry, he's probably just

worried about me, that's why he..."

"Worried about you? If anyone should be worried, it should be me," Selena said, looking into Belle's

eyes. "If our relationship were to be exposed, I'd be the one most affected."

Belle knew that all too well. "I know, I'll apologize to him on his behalf."

"Apologize just in words?" Selena tilted her head and asked.

Caught by Selena's gaze, Belle hesitated for a moment and then leaned in to kiss her...
