Chapter 1079: Counterattack

Little Bunny's arrival caused only a brief disruption before everyone resumed their activities. No one dared approach her, fearing involvement in any potential trouble.

Little Bunny, appearing isolated yet unconcerned, was accustomed to the periphery. Years in the entertainment industry hadn't transformed her into a social butterfly; she preferred the quiet corners. She leisurely enjoyed her vegetable salad.

"Where's Louie? His phone's unreachable, and he's vanished. He's the lead for tomorrow's early show—this is ridiculous!" someone exclaimed.

"Beats me. Probably chasing some girl. You know him—he wouldn't last a day without women. I bet he'll die on top of one someday," another man chuckled.

"Still, he shouldn't neglect his work."

"Let's see how Stord handles it tomorrow. Best we get drunk tonight; we won't be able to get up and replace Louie."

"Forget it. Knowing Stord, he'll make you get up anyway…"

Little Bunny listened for a while. Then, Caroline's agent appeared. "Little Bunny, I'm still sorry about slapping you. I've wanted to apologize, but feared you wouldn't forgive me. Please accept this drink."

Little Bunny was aware of Caroline and her agent's collusion. Yet, before so many witnesses, she showed respect to the senior agent, whom she dared not offend.

"It's natural for agents to protect their artists. I understand," Little Bunny replied.

"You're so generous. I know about your relationship with Caroline; I think you won't mind." The agent drained her drink.

Little Bunny followed suit. One by one, others approached. She instantly understood Caroline's plan: to get her drunk. But what then?

Caroline was leaving tomorrow; tonight was her last chance. Perhaps afterward, she'd try to seduce Theodore.

Overwhelmed by the constant toasts, Little Bunny excused herself to the restroom. From the adjacent stall, she heard a muffled voice: "Little Bunny will be drunk soon. I'll get her to my room. You know what to do!"

Caroline's agent was speaking to someone. A man's voice followed: "Are you sure? What if…"

"Don't worry. Little Bunny wouldn't dare boast. Her reputation matters too much."

"In that case… alright…" the man reluctantly agreed.

The voices ceased. Little Bunny emerged. Caroline intended not only to tempt Theodore but also to send her to another man's bed—likely to obtain compromising photographs and ruin her reputation. Caroline continually transgressed moral boundaries.

Little Bunny left the restroom silently. Many still waited to drink with her. She engaged them while watching Caroline. Finally, she saw Caroline leave the courtyard. Raising her glass, Little Bunny instructed Tanya, "Go see if Caroline's gone to find Theodore."

Tanya, startled, obeyed. Little Bunny decided to ensnare Caroline in her own web. Tanya quickly left. Little Bunny glanced at Samson, who had remained discreetly in a corner, keeping her in sight.

Little Bunny again found an excuse to leave, appearing overly intoxicated to others. Caroline's agent, noticing her slight inebriation, watched closely. Little Bunny's departure was calculated—to gain Samson's attention. She had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol, but her capacity was known to few.

"Samson,"

Samson, about to leave the restroom to avoid making Little Bunny uncomfortable, stopped. "Miss Little Bunny?"

"What am I to Mr. Wold?" Little Bunny asked abruptly.

Samson hesitated. He wanted to say Theodore loved her, yet doubted Theodore's capacity for love. A negative answer contradicted Theodore's preferential treatment.

"I need a favor," Little Bunny observed his dilemma.

Samson readily agreed. "Mr. Wold asked me to protect you tonight. As long as it doesn't endanger you, I'll help."

"Caroline's trying to send me to another man's bed. I should return the favor—an eye for an eye."

Samson's expression hardened. Caroline's ruthlessness shocked him.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

"Caroline's going to Theodore's."

"She won't get Mr. Wold," Samson stated flatly. Theodore, once indiscriminate, had changed due to Little Bunny's influence. Under her spell, he wouldn't be interested in Caroline.

"Regardless of her success, keep Caroline away from Theodore, and…" Little Bunny paused, “…send her to the bed of the man she intended for me."
