Chapter 2254
Thalia’s heart hammered in her chest as Kael closed in on her, each of his steps crunching
the withered leaves beneath his boots with a crisp snap. She clasped a hand over her
mouth, praying that her shallow breaths wouldn’t betray her hiding spot.
“Pick up the pace!” Balfour, a tall man with a long stride, moved swiftly up the mountain
path, leaving Margot struggling to keep up.
Gasping for air, she dared not ask Balfour to wait for her; after all, he was on a mission to
save her dear friend.
Unconcerned whether Margot could follow, Balfour pressed on.
Margot stamped her foot in frustration and continued her uphill battle. Upon reaching a

“What’s wrong?” Margot whispered anxiously.
Balfour had heard something-a faint rustle in the distance.
Holding her breath, Margot wondered, could it be Thalia?
“To the left, hurry!” Balfour barked, darting towards the sound.
He had caught the sound of a woman struggling. If he wasn’t mistaken, it had to be that
crew member and the culprit!
Thalia had been hiding on the mountain for hours, exhausted. Her worst fear materialized
as Kael discovered her.
As Kael smothered her mouth and nose while tightening his grip on her neck, Thalia fought
back with all her might. However, how could she match the strength of a lifeguard?
Just as she was about to succumb, another noise echoed from a different direction,
prompting Kael to drag her back.
Was someone coming to her rescue?
Her vision blurred with gratitude for the friendship she had found in Margot during filming.
She had no regrets about calling her before the incident unfolded. Her only wish was to
have the opportunity to bid a proper farewell before finding herself in this dire situation.
Given another chance, she would still choose to join the cast, to meet her best friend. The
allure of the entertainment industry had faded for her, its fickleness clear. Here, emotions
were trivial; fame and fortune ruled, and everyone judged their associations based on
value.
“Thalia!”

Chapter 2254
Margot’s scream pierced the air as she caught sight of her friend.
Kael, realizing escape was impossible, bellowed, “If you want this woman to live, stay right
there and don’t move!”
Balfour furrowed his brows, holding back the desperate Margot. Then his gaze turned to
the sweating man who had almost killed Ivy-it was him!
“What do you want?” Balfour demanded, his voice steady.
Kael feigned composure as he faced Balfour. How could he not recognize the man before
him? But what was Mr. Howard doing here?
“So, Mr. Howard, you’re saying I can have whatever I want?” Kael mused, realizing that
since Balfour had conveyed his intention to negotiate, it implied that he didn’t plan to
corner him into a dead end.
