Chapter 502 - 498: People Like You Are Better Off Dead

It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. Cecilia Sterling and Blair were still lounging on the sofa.

Their opponents were aggressive and menacing. Lily Sterling, who had never seen anything like this, couldn’t help but take two nervous steps back.

As the only man in the room, Finn darted forward to stand in front of Lily. He faced them and demanded, "What do you want?"

Then, he looked up and saw George Lowe walk in from behind them, flanked by his agent and another male assistant.

The moment he entered, George Lowe’s gaze locked onto Cecilia Sterling.

It wasn’t that he recognized her. Rather, his years of sizing up women enabled him to instantly spot the most beautiful one in any room.

His gaze was lewd and blatant, the kind that would make any woman feel deeply uncomfortable.

Cecilia Sterling frowned and was about to stand up, but Blair beside her acted first, shoving her own phone into Cecilia’s hands. "Here, hold this!"

Cecilia Sterling glanced down in surprise, and her eyes widened.

Blair had started a livestream on her own account—an account with over twenty million followers on Tiktok.

It was the most efficient way to thoroughly expose George Lowe’s vile nature to the entire country.

"This is our Lily’s dressing room! Please get out!" At that moment, Finn was angrily trying to kick them out.

But they paid no attention to a mere assistant. One of them shoved him aside forcefully. "It’s not your place to talk. Get lost!"

"Which one of you two is Lily Sterling’s sister?"

The man who’d kicked the door in looked at Cecilia Sterling and Blair. Having been on set for several months, he could easily spot unfamiliar faces.

Blair stood and walked right up to the man. She stopped Finn just as he was about to retaliate. "I’ll handle this," she said coolly. "I happen to have a free moment."

Her baffling words stunned the man. Before he could react, Blair threw a punch straight into his cheek.

Blair had pulled the punch, but it was still enough to make the man grunt in pain. He stumbled back rapidly, only kept from falling by the person behind him.

George Lowe and his men looked on, stunned. They couldn’t believe a woman could possess such strength and skill.

Blair glanced languidly at the rest of them. "If you want to talk, then use your words. If you want a fight, then come at me all at once. I’m in a hurry to get dinner."

Cecilia Sterling suppressed a smile and adjusted the camera slightly. A quick glance showed that the number of viewers in the livestream had already surpassed ten thousand.

「Holy crap, what’s going on?」

「What’s happening with Blair? Where is she?」

「Isn’t that George Lowe across from her? What happened?」

「She’s so cool! But they started it, so they deserve it!」

The livestream chat instantly exploded. The fans hadn’t yet figured out what was going on, but just seeing that one cool, dashing move from Blair was enough for them to start unconditionally supporting their goddess.

"So you’re Lily Sterling’s sister?" George Lowe glared at Blair, his expression dark and menacing.

He was, after all, a veteran in the industry with status and experience. Blair’s skills were formidable, but he wasn’t afraid.

Blair shrugged, neither confirming nor denying. In a way, she was like an older sister to Lily, just not by blood.

Blair looked him straight in the eye. "You must be that shameless old pervert, George Lowe, right?"

"What? You throw a fit and start acting like a thug just because she won’t film a scene with physical contact?"

Hearing this, George Lowe’s agent stepped forward indignantly. "Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?"

"Of course I do." Blair scoffed. "Standing before me is the ’Emperor of the Film Set,’ a master of the ’casting couch,’ a creep who can’t stop taking advantage of people, the ’venerable artist’ Mr. George Lowe, who loves adding extra scenes for himself and the actresses."

Knowing the livestream was running, Blair was direct and to the point, phrasing everything so the viewers could easily understand.

Everything she said was true, but for George Lowe, these were things that were never to be spoken aloud.

Yet here was Blair, exposing all his dirty secrets right to his face.

The camera was aimed squarely at George Lowe, capturing his face—sapped of collagen and dotted with age spots—as it flushed red, then pale. Cecilia Sterling couldn’t help but curl her lips into a mocking smile.

’This old bastard. He actually has a sense of shame?’

’He can do all those disgusting things, but no one is allowed to talk about them?’

George Lowe felt his heart pound—a reaction that could only mean his blood pressure was spiking. He had thought that coming here in person would be enough to intimidate them, but they weren’t paying him any mind at all.

First, they beat up his man right in front of him, and then they humiliated him without a shred of restraint.

In the industry, everyone was outwardly respectful to him. When had he ever been cursed out to his face like this?

"What’s your name?" George Lowe asked through gritted teeth.

Blair didn’t answer, but Cecilia Sterling, still on the sofa, suddenly chimed in, her voice tinged with amusement, "My name is Cecilia Sterling."

George Lowe and his men froze. Several heads turned in unison to look at the calm and composed woman on the sofa.

Then they turned back to look at Blair.

The agent’s brow furrowed, his voice rising in pitch. "So *you’re* Lily Sterling’s sister?"

The livestream viewers couldn’t see Cecilia Sterling, but they could hear her voice and tell from its position that she was the one holding the phone.

「Lily Sterling?」

「Lily Sterling’s sister?」

「Is that the new actress, Lily Sterling? The one who plays Flora!」

「Is Blair on a film set?」

「Is George Lowe forcing actresses into the ’casting couch’ on set?」

The bullet comments flew across the screen. The number of viewers broke thirty thousand; no one who joined was leaving. Some had even started screen recording to share clips on other platforms.

While continuing to stream, Cecilia Sterling calmly looked at their astonished faces and nodded. "Yes. I’m Lily Sterling’s sister. I am also the sole investor in this series."

With a contemptuous look at George Lowe, she continued slowly, "Considering your advanced age, I’ll try not to be too harsh. I’d hate for you to have an ’accident.’ Though, honestly, it would be for the best if someone like you just dropped dead."

"In a project funded by me, you’ve been using your power to bully people, sexually harassing actresses on set, and trying to add scenes with physical contact for yourself. You’ve turned this entire production into a toxic mess. As the investor, I’ve decided to kick you off the set, terminate our contract with you, and you will not receive any compensation."

"Understand?"

Cecilia Sterling stated her decision to his face, deliberately laying out George Lowe’s actions on set for the livestream audience to hear.

「Oh my god, I get it now. George Lowe is using his status to force actresses into the ’casting couch’ on set!」

「And he’s deliberately adding scenes so he can have physical contact with them!」

「That’s so disgusting! So the investor is a woman too, and after finding out, she decided to kick him off the production!」

「Wow, she’s so brave! George Lowe has powerful connections. Isn’t she afraid of making an enemy of him?」
