Chapter 186: Strawberry

"No need to make excuses; just drag this gorilla away and you can leave. Get him treated, or he might never wake up again."

The remaining members looked at Lucian with grateful eyes and then dragged their boss out of the room, which was again engulfed by silence.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Lucian asked, turning his gaze towards Ava. His smile no longer seemed playful; she really felt a little scared now.

"I… I will—" Ava stuttered. She now only had two choices: either accept his terms or ask her boyfriend for help. Not playing a role in this drama wasn't an option for her.

And even if the situation was resolved by then, a lot of time would be wasted. They would have to find a new male lead and use the old story.
