Chapter 696 A Satisfying Counterattack 1

Grace was still in shock as she lay in bed, flipping through the photos on her phone.

If she hadn't seen it with her eyes.

She would never have imagined that Marlon and Beth would be dating.

First of all, the age difference—Marlon was eight years younger than Beth.

And then there was their behavior on set; they acted like strangers.

The only exception was when Marlon helped Grace, and Beth exploded.

Now that Grace knew about their relationship, she was even more determined to keep her distance from someone like Marlon.

So the next day, during filming, Grace was particularly cautious.

Especially in scenes with Marlon, she wouldn't say a word more than what was in the script.

Grace's expression was very indifferent and distant, making her seem very cold.

"Grace, I heard from Linda that you got hurt. How are you now?" Marlon stopped her right after the first scene.

"Thanks for your concern, I'm fine."

After giving a formal response, Grace just wanted to get away quickly.

But Marlon wouldn't let it go and followed her.

"Grace, are you mad? I'm sorry, everything that happened yesterday was my fault. Beth was probably just worried about her leading role being threatened. Don't overthink it."

Grace sneered internally; Marlon's lies came so easily.

"Really?" Grace deliberately glanced at him.

Sure enough, Marlon's eyes immediately showed panic.

"Grace, anyway, it was all my fault yesterday. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."

"Marlon, you're overthinking it. I need to prepare for the next scene."

Not wanting to waste any more time with Marlon, Grace quickly left.

The rest of Grace's scenes were with other people, so they went smoothly.

By the end of the day, Grace was exhausted.

She didn't even want dinner; she just wanted to take a shower and lie down.

But as soon as Grace reached her door, Beth blocked her way.

"Move, this is my room."

"What if I don't? Grace, didn't I warn you to stop flirting with Marlon? Why don't you ever learn?"

"Beth, watch your language."

Beth's cold gaze shot over. "You, a woman having an affair, what right do you have to be arrogant?"

Beth's words were like a knife, stabbing into Grace's heart.

Grace felt suffocated by the pain.

Beth was really ruthless!

She knew exactly how to hurt Grace.

Grace clenched her fists, her lips turned white, and her whole body trembled slightly.

But Grace's voice was firm, "Beth, say that again?"

Beth raised her head, indifferent, "I'm not afraid of you."

"Listen up, Grace. You dirty woman, you probably can't even count how many men you've slept with. You know what? Even the air you breathe feels filthy to me."

Grace couldn't hold back anymore. Shaking with anger, she fished her room key out of her bag and quickly opened the door.

Then, she looked at Beth, suddenly grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the room, then locked the door tightly.

"Grace, calm down."

Seeing the expression on Grace's face, Beth started to feel a bit scared.

Especially as Grace stared at her silently, Beth grew more and more terrified.

"Grace, I'm telling you, don't do anything rash."

"Don't do anything stupid."

"This is the set. If you dare to do anything to me, you'll be punished. Mr. Krueger won't let you off."

Out of fear, Beth blurted out everything she wanted to say.

However, Grace remained silent, her fists clenched the whole time.

Especially her cold, sharp gaze, like ice blades, seemed to be cutting into Beth's flesh.

The more Beth looked, the more scared she became.

Beth was good with words.

But in a situation like this, she was terrified.

Grace was countless times scarier than she had imagined.

Beth wouldn't dare provoke her again.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing Grace's angry eyes fixed on her, Beth grew even more frightened.

Beth's heart was trembling.

But Grace just kept staring at her, her gaze sharp enough to pierce her heart.

"Say something, Grace."

"Grace, I admit I was wrong."

"I'm begging you, say something, please?"

However, Grace still didn't respond.

Unable to hold back any longer, Beth shakily took out her phone from her clothes.

But as soon as Beth took out her phone, Grace grabbed it and threw it onto the bed.

Beth was completely enraged, and in her heightened fear, she continued to curse.

"Grace, what are you so arrogant about? I'm telling you, everything I said is true."

"What pure and chaste saint? You've probably slept with many men in private. Don't forget how you left the entertainment industry."

"You look pretty on the outside, but you do dirty things behind the scenes. Of all things, you chose to be an adulterer."

"By the way, since we're already talking, let me tell you something. Listen carefully."

Seeing that Grace didn't dare do anything to her and was just trying to scare her, Beth became arrogant again.

Beth leaned in, deliberately close to Grace's earlobe, and said smugly, "Marlon and I are dating. He's my boyfriend now, and we're getting married soon."

After saying that, Beth waited, curious to see Grace's reaction to the news.

Would Grace be shocked, envious, or scared?

However, Beth was disappointed; she saw no expression on Grace's face.

Grace remained composed.

Suddenly, Beth thought of something and widened her eyes. "Grace, did you already know?"

"What do you think?"

Grace smirked and asked back.

"How did you know? Were you spying on us?"

Grace sneered, "How I found out is none of your business. Anyone with eyes could guess."

Beth raised her head, looking proud.

Her sense of superiority was through the roof.

"Good, it's better that you know. Recognize your place."

"You, a dirty person, what right do you have to interfere with us? Or is it that your lifelong hobby is being an adulterer?"

Grace's anger, which had subsided, flared up again.
