BXBX NOVEL Chapter 291 - 294: Don’t Let Him Down, His Trust
It was uncertain whether it was the ring on Michelle Carter’s hand that had caused the cut.
On Vivian Walter’s face, there was a deep blood mark.
But that blood mark alone couldn’t have scared her this much.
The key was that what flowed out of that mark wasn’t ordinary blood.
Instead, it was indescribable, something similar to pus.
If you got close to smell it, it had a horrible stench.
The agent covered her mouth, holding back the urge to vomit.
In her mind, there was only one thought.
It’s over, it’s all over…
The aftereffects of the failed plastic surgery were suddenly taking effect!

On the other side, Lily Gray, who had no idea what was happening to Vivian, was on the phone pleading with Aidan Lucas.
“Please let me go to the set… 1 assure you that there’s nothing between David Redington and me!”
The event between Vivian Walter and Austin Lucas had given Lily Gray and the Gray family some relief.
Days of cloudiness finally dissipated.
Now, it was the perfect time for the Gray family to seize the opportunity.
Today was the first day of shooting for ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’. If Aidan Lucas agreed, she wanted to go to the set and look around.
On the other end of the phone, Aidan Lucas’ voice was languid and low, “You can go to the set, but you must meet three conditions.”
Hearing her voice through the phone after her crying last night made Aidan Lucas feel sorry for Lily.
He found it hard to resist feeling soft-hearted.
As long as she behaved in future, perhaps, he would not restrict her freedom.
“Go ahead… As long as it is not too much, 1 will agree to ten conditions even if you propose that.”
Lily’s words made Aidan Lucas laugh out loud unconsciously.
Listening to the man’s laughter, Lily was a bit embarrassed.
“First, take care of your safety, don’t run around on the set. Second, inform me about anything immediately and don’t act tough. Third… don’t have any contact with that man named David Redington.”
Hearing the first two conditions, Lily knew he was just worried about her safety,
but the third condition was…
She couldn’t help but raise a protest, “The first two conditions are fine, but for the third one…David Redington is the male lead of the show. As the investor and producer, it would be impossible for me not to have contact with him…” “Alright, then you must not interact with him privately, don’t let him come within five steps of you, don’t converse with him beyond ten sentences.”
With these conditions laid down at one go,
for the first time, Lily realized that Aidan Lucas could be quite talkative and finicky.
But what he was doing was basically making it difficult for her!
She couldn’t help but protest, “You’re clearly saying that you don’t trust me!”
Even though she had felt guilty before,
she had already apologized for her actions the night before.
Besides, she had gotten in contact with David Redington behind Aidan Lucas’ back only to help the Gray family, to seek treatment for David’s illness.
Now, everything was on track.
Lily firmly believed that she had no other feelings for David Redington.
Therefore, in front of Aidan Lucas now, she no longer has feelings of guilt or remorse.
“Lily.” Aidan Lucas, sensing her displeasure, lost his patience, “Don’t challenge my patience.”
Five steps, ten sentences, this was his bottom line.
If she crossed it, he feared he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from causing harm.
Hearing his voice became cold and utterly emotionless, she knew there was no room left for negotiation.
Well, there will be hurdles for every good cause. It’s good that he let her go onto the set today.
Perhaps another day, with more effort, she might be able to make him relent more.
“Alright, alright, 1 got it… you focus on your work, I’m hanging up first.”
Just as she was about to hang up, the man’s cool voice echoed once more.
“Lily, behave on set… don’t disappoint the trust I place in you.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Leaving Lily by herself, it took her a while to snap back to reality..
