Chapter 95 

Upon hearing this, Xanthea shot up from her bed and exclaimed, “That swindler doubled the price on you, Uncle! You fell right into his trap. You’ve got to cancel the deal!* 

Oliver smiled, “It’s too late for that the contract is already signed. Xan, your role obediently, I’ll earn back the money. 

s long as you pl 

night?” 

The money could be earned back, but the indignation remained! 

Xanthea’s perfectly manicured nails left deep marks on the edge of the bed. Orion, having targeted and toyed with her for so long was one thing, but to actually swindle money from her uncle was utterly despicable and abhorrent! 

She was seriously considering adding him to her blacklist, right after Matthew and Miranda! 

“By the way, Xan, the police have already started Investigating the explosion of the audition, but the motorcycle was so badly damaged that no traces were left. According to Ryan, he had it thoroughly checked at the shop before he even suggested using the Tran light cycle. The detailed proof and the test ride videos by the shop staff are still on file at the company. There was not a single problem.” 

“Not a single problem? How is that possible? The clutch, brakes, and the smell of the oll were all problematic.” 

“What? Even the clutch and brakes were problematic? Those are basic checks, the shop staff couldn’t possibly overlook them.” Oliver frowned, “The motorcycle must have been tampered with after it arrived at the Glory Building. Xan, among the actors competing for the Phoenix role with you, has anyone ever had a conflict with you or hold a grudge?” 

Having weathered many storms in the entertainment industry, Oliver was accustomed to seeing underhanded tactics for grabbing resources and opportunities. But someone attempting to endanger Xan’s life was a new low. He wouldn’t let them get away with it once he found out who it was! 

The first person that popped into Xanthea’s mind was Isabella, but it couldn’t be her. Isabella might be petty, but she was upfront about her feelings and never resorted to sneaky tactics. Plus, from the moment she arrived at the Glory Building, she hadn’t taken her eyes off Xanthea. 

But other than her, Xanthea didn’t really know the other actors. Who else could want to harm her? 

“I don’t know.” 

Xanthea shook her head. Oliver solemnly replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll investigate one by one and get to the bottom of this!” 

Knock, knock, knock! 

“Xan, Xan, open up quickly!” 

“Xan, are you alright?” 

Suddenly, a series of urgent shouts came from outside the door. 

Upon opening it, Xanthea was immediately swamped by a crowd, barely managing to step back before Ethan and Samuel lunged forward, engulfing her in a tight hug, “Xan, are you okay? We heard about the motorcycle explosion at the audition, it almost scared us to death!” 

“Uh~” 

Sandwiched so tightly between them like a burger patty, Xanthea nearly suffocated, “I was fine; but now you’re about to squeeze the life out of me!” 

Ethan and Samuel quickly let her go.. 

Xanthea gasped for air, wondering how all these grown men’s first reaction to everything was to pounce–whether it was Ethan, Samuel, or even Orion. 

Wait, why did she even think of that despicable wretch! 

Shaking her head, Xanthea looked at them in confusion, “Ethan, weren’t you suppose
