Chapter 474:
As Keira’s call went through, her demeanor softened significantly from its previous intensity. She adopted a gentler voice and said, “Sweetie, why is it taking you so long to get here from the parking lot? I feel like I’m being ganged up on in your studio. These people are incredibly rude. Please hurry and come to my rescue, okay p>
A chill ran down Ashton’s spine upon hearing her overly flirtatious tone. He was also concerned that Ellis might decide to intervene, which would only complicate things further. He wasn’t in the mood to manage their nonsense right now.
In the past, Ellis would have likely rushed to respond as Ashton anticipated.
However, this time, just as Ellis was about to respond affirmatively, he paused. He remembered inviting Ashton over the previous night for a promotional video shoot. After a recent unpleasant experience with his men, Ellis had become more cautious.
Rather than responding impulsively, Ellis asked with a hint of caution, “What’s the matter, love? Who are you clashing with p>
Keira, not picking up on the wariness in Ellis’ voice, was thrilled to be addressed so affectionately.
Feeling supported by Ellis, she was eager to see Ashton’s reaction and possibly show off in front of him.
With that thought in mind, Keira’s voice wavered as she tearfully explained, “It’s some people here for a shoot. They’ve not only been mean to me, but they’ve also disparaged you, saying you’re nobody here. Please, can you send someone to throw them out p>
Ellis’ heart sank upon hearing Keira’s words.
He was overwhelmed by frustration. Why did Keira have to offend Ashton?

Keira wasn’t just any woman. She was a beautiful, well-known online celebrity. Ellis had spent a lot of effort to win her over.
But before he could even enjoy the rewards of his efforts, he had to break up with her. All the time, energy, and resources he had invested to win her over now seemed pointless.
Suddenly, Ellis thought Ashton was not the only person filming on the set. Somehow, he clung to a shred of hope that the man Keira offended was not Ashton. But he had to confirm, so he asked through clenched teeth, “Is the person who offended you a tall, slim, and handsome young man? Is he with a beautiful woman p>
Keira glanced at Ashton and Selena in front of her. “Yes, that’s them. What are you waiting for? Hurry! Come here and deal with them p>
Ellis fell silent when Keira confirmed his worst fear. He felt so helpless that he wished the ground would split and swallow him alive.
Yesterday, some of his reckless subordinates had offended Ashton. Now, it was Keira. He felt like they were digging his own grave for him. Were they really looking forward to his death?
Ellis didn’t waste a second. He quickly hung up the phone and rushed to the studio, his heart pounding with dread.
Keira had no idea what was going on. When Ellis suddenly hung up without saying a word, she thought he was so angry that he rushed over to stand up for her. She put down her phone and looked at Ashton and Selena triumphantly, her eyes glinting with defiance and satisfaction. She couldn’t wait to see Ellis embarrass both of them. “It’s too late for you two to regret now. Ellis is coming to deal with you p>
