Chapter 10: Chapter Ten: Reencounter with Gu Mohan

Indeed, she was aware of her relationship with Malcolm Godwin, which was why she deliberately targeted her.

Kristin Bennett was not as simple as Malcolm Godwin perceived!

"Miss Bennett, is this what you wanted to tell me?" She remained calm, her tone light and breezy. "Why don't you focus your attention on your Mr. Godwin instead?"

The woman held her head high, her face, which usually resembled that of a gentle rabbit, now tinged with a coldness. She gritted her teeth and warned, "Don't think that just because you have something with Brother Mohan, you have the right to compete with me. You'd better behave and stay away from him. He's mine!"

After saying this, she no longer spared Venus Kellogg a glance and turned to leave in large strides.

Returning to the banquet, Venus Kellogg watched Kristin Bennett, who was surrounded by a crowd, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. A sweet bunny in front of others, but a black-hearted one behind their backs!

To avoid stealing someone's spotlight and being targeted again, Venus Kellogg decided to leave. But before she left, she went to say goodbye to Nelson Francis.

"Where are you going? You're the main guest at this banquet; it's not very appropriate to leave so early."

"Miss Lin is preparing to leave. It's still early, I can send you off later," said Mr. Collins, smiling as he blocked Venus Kellogg's path.

Venus Kellogg wore a faint smile, "I just had a bit of alcohol, and I'm feeling a little unwell. To avoid embarrassing myself in front of all the bosses, I should leave early."

"How could a beauty like you embarrass herself? Miss Lin, you're not thinking that we, the bosses, aren't worth your company, are you?"

"Mr. Collins, you flatter me. It's just that I really am feeling a bit unwell, maybe from drinking too much."

"Alright, then, let me send you off. I've had enough to drink as well." As he spoke, Mr. Collins reached out to put his arm around Venus Kellogg's waist.

Venus Kellogg instinctively took a step back. The man's face immediately darkened, and he looked at her with a half-smile, "What? Miss Lin, do you find me repulsive?"

Venus Kellogg forced a smile, "Mr. Collins, how about we save the drink for another day? I really don't feel well today."

"Hah, Old Zhang, it seems Miss Lin is quite the noble one, even you aren't good enough for her," someone nearby said in a mocking tone.

Venus Kellogg looked up and saw it was Mr. Chu, who had been making things difficult for her earlier.

She lowered her head to hide her impatience, forcing a smile, "That's not what I meant."

"Oh, if that's not what you meant, then come with me tonight," Mr. Collins's expression was unpleasant, his words less refined than before, and the raw desire in his eyes was unmistakable.

Venus Kellogg found herself in a difficult position. She knew what would happen if she refused. In the past, when she was under Malcolm Godwin's protection, no one dared to touch her. But now, without anyone to protect her, in the murky waters of the entertainment industry, if she wanted to remain noble, she would have to endure the loneliness of having no roles.

Venus Kellogg couldn't afford to be that person; she needed money. But looking at the old face in front of her, which could pass for her father, she couldn't bear it.

When she sold herself to Malcolm Godwin, at least his face was pleasant to look at, and it didn't make her feel the humiliation of selling herself.

"Shuyi, did you forget our plans for tonight?" A warm, jade-like voice sounded from behind her.

Venus Kellogg turned abruptly and saw a man in a white suit walking towards her with a smile.

She hadn't seen Levi Graham all night and thought he hadn't come.

"Of course not, I was just about to look for you," Venus Kellogg naturally wouldn't refuse the olive branch Levi Graham offered.

She gave Mr. Collins an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Collins, I made plans with Bro tonight."

Mr. Collins glared at Levi Graham and snorted, "Is Mr. Luo trying to take her from me?"

Levi Graham, facing his threatening expression, didn't back down, "Mr. Collins, you jest. Everything has its order, and I made plans with Shuyi first."

Mr. Collins, having lost face twice, laughed coldly, "Fine, Levi Graham, you're quite something."

These big stars, truly pampered by their fans, have no idea of their place!

Seeing Mr. Collins leave, Levi Graham turned to Venus Kellogg and raised an eyebrow, "Let's go."

Venus Kellogg hesitated for a moment before taking Levi Graham's arm.

Mr. Chu chuckled, stirring the pot, "How can Mr. Collins swallow this? Letting a young upstart take her away?"

Levi Graham, unfazed, replied, "He can try to take her back from me."

Mr. Chu fell silent, only staring thoughtfully at Venus Kellogg, who was holding onto Levi Graham's arm.

"When did Levi Graham get so close to Shuyi, to the point of offending Mr. Collins for her?" Kristin Bennett mused, "Could the rumors online be true? Are they really in a relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Malcolm Godwin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he walked out without a word.

Kristin Bennett, startled, ran after him, "Brother Mohan, where are you going?"

Following Malcolm Godwin outside, Kristin Bennett realized he had only come out to see Venus Kellogg.

Venus Kellogg released his arm and politely stepped back, "Thank you, Bro."

Levi Graham gently shook his head, "It's nothing."

"Thank you so much. If not for you, I don't know how I would have gotten out of that. But... you..."

"Worried about me?" Levi Graham understood her thoughts.

"Mr. Collins will definitely target you," she said, fearing retaliation for the public embarrassment.

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me," Levi Graham said confidently.

This made Venus Kellogg even more curious about his identity.

Levi Graham looked around, raising an eyebrow, "Do you need me to send you home?"

"No, I'll have someone pick me up," she said, preferring to keep some distance from Levi Graham to avoid any further incidents.

"Alright." He didn't insist and turned to leave.

Venus Kellogg sighed in relief, rubbing her forehead. Her cheeks were a bit flushed, probably from the alcohol. She felt a tightness in her chest and called Anna to come and pick her up.

"The car is here, to your left when you go out," she hung up and headed out.

The cold wind made the alcohol hit her harder. Her steps were unsteady, and she couldn't tell left from right, not even realizing she had taken the wrong path.

Opening the car door, she leaned back without checking who was inside, "Take me home."

The car didn't move.

The driver glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror.

"Get out!" a cold, deep voice commanded. The familiar tone jolted Venus Kellogg, instantly sobering her up.

She opened her eyes wide, her face changing several times as she looked at the man beside her.

"I'm sorry, I got into the wrong car..." She reached for the door, but the driver beat her to it and got out.

The silence in the car was suffocating. Venus Kellogg swallowed, not daring to move.

The man's low pressure made her slow her breathing.

He's in a bad mood! Venus Kellogg suddenly became alert.
