Following Terence's order, Jillian went out to fetch their guest. As soon as Samuel entered his office, Terence felt his bad intentions. He got up from his chair and was about to ask his purpose for coming, when Samuel stepped forward and punched him right in the face.

Terence did not see that coming. He staggered after receiving the blow, and he had to grab his desk to regain balance.

Jillian, who was standing by the door, screamed in shock. She rushed to Terence's side. No matter how big of a fan she was of the actor, her boss was definitely more important. "Mr. Chen, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

Terence touched his lips and found blood on his fingers. Pain was slowly throbbing from his left cheek where Samuel's punch landed. He shook his head and replied, "I'm fine."

"What are you doing? How could you just hit others out of the blue?" Jillian scowled at Samuel.

Samuel looked at Terence coldly and said, "That one's for Julia. You deserve at least that for making her cry."

"You

his rival in love.

Terence considered carefully before asking. "I don't mean to impose, but can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure. If it's within my capacity to help. What is it?" Samuel appeared ready to help.

"What I'm going to do next may be very dangerous. Jean is a lunatic. I'm afraid that if I go anywhere near Julia, she will do something bad to her." Since that terrible night, Terence hadn't shown his face in front of Julia because of this concern.

Nowadays, the farther he was away from Julia, the better it was for her protection.

Samuel nodded in agreement. "Alright. That makes sense. What do you want me to do then?"

"I'll remain distant from her until this matter is handled smoothly. It pains me, but she should stay angry at me for a while longer. So please take good care of her for me. It's not convenient for me to see her these days." Terence sighed.

"But you know, if things go on like this, the misunderstanding between you will grow deeper and deeper," Samuel said worriedly.
