Even though Nolan was just an ordinary person, she was someone by Olivia’s side, and Olivia valued her quite a lot.
So in terms of fighting skills, she was actually pretty decent.
That slap came out of nowhere, and the completely unprepared Nolan didn’t even have time to dodge before Anna’s hand viciously cracked across her face!
"Smack!"
The slap landed on Nolan’s face with a crisp sound that echoed all around, and at the same time, five bright red fingerprints immediately surfaced on her cheek.
Everyone was stunned, all of them staring at Anna, eyes wide and mouths agape.
They all knew Anna, knew she worked for Olivia, and knew Olivia had a lot of artists and was considered a heavyweight in Hollywood, but Nolan wasn’t exactly a nobody either.
Nolan was a member of the Gambino family, and on top of that, he was the son of the current Clan Leader. Now Anna had actually laid hands on Nolan, which instantly sent a tidal wave crashing through everyone’s hearts.
Did this Anna have a death wish?
Or did she think that with Olivia backing her, even the Gambino family wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her!
And the truth was, she really did think the Gambino family wouldn’t dare do anything to her, because in this place Olivia called the shots. The biggest boss in Hollywood was Olivia, the one who could cover the sky with one hand was also Olivia, and everyone else was just decorative pieces placed on the surface.
Unfortunately, not many people knew any of this, otherwise they wouldn’t have been so shocked.
They couldn’t believe Anna dared to make a move, and Nolan even more so hadn’t seen it coming.
The next second, when Nolan snapped back to his senses, his face twisted into a hideous snarl: "You little bitch, you dare hit me, I’ll fucking kill you too..."
As he spoke, Nolan lunged to attack Anna.
Nolan might be a movie star, but he was an action star, and his fighting skills were actually very solid.
But even so, his moves still weren’t on Anna’s level. Just as Nolan moved, Anna’s right leg shot out fast, kicking straight for Nolan’s crotch!
"Bang!"
Her kick landed hard on Nolan’s crotch. She didn’t quite blow his manhood to pieces, but the searing pain still drove him to his knees on the ground, both hands clutching his crotch as he howled, looking absolutely miserable.
"And you think you can fight me?" Anna said with absolute disdain. "Nolan, don’t think that just because you’re the Gambino Clan Leader’s son you can strut around in here!"
"Even if your old man shows up, he still has to be polite when he sees Miss He. What the hell are you, thinking you can use filming as an excuse to cop a feel off Miss He!"
"You think it was our boss who went to your old man to beg? It was your old man who came crawling to our boss!"
"If it weren’t for that, a lowlife like you wouldn’t even be qualified to share a scene with Miss He!"
Nolan didn’t hear a word Anna said. The excruciating pain made him feel worse than death, his face twisted to the extreme, like a bloodthirsty beast, eyes bloodshot.
Nolan didn’t hear Anna’s words, but everyone else did, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
Nolan’s father personally went to Olivia, just to have Nolan play the supporting role? That... how was that even possible?
Sure, He Sichan had already built up some fame now, but Nolan was a top Hollywood star, and on top of that, the young master of the Gambino family. How could his father possibly let his own son play second fiddle to someone else?
Could it be that He Sichan’s background was so powerful that even Nolan’s father had to curry favor with her?
"I’m going to kill you, kill you..." Nolan roared hoarsely, face twisted in madness. "You bitch, you bastard, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death, I’ll throw you into the slums and let them use you as a toy..."
"Sounds like you’re the one looking to die..."
"Anna!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke up.
The moment she heard Ye Xunhuan’s voice, Anna’s movements immediately froze. She turned her head toward him. "Your orders..."
"Tell Cyril that if he doesn’t give me a satisfactory explanation for this, I’ll pay a visit to his Gambino family. Tell him to get ready." Ye Xunhuan said lightly, his tone neither rushed nor slow.
Cyril!
When everyone heard that name, their faces changed once again.
Cyril was the current Clan Leader of the Gambino family, and also Nolan’s father.
Now Ye Xunhuan was actually telling Cyril to give him an explanation. Who the hell was this guy, to speak as if Cyril counted for nothing, as if the Gambino family was his own backyard that he could walk into whenever he felt like it?
Anna instantly understood what Ye Xunhuan meant. He wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, to use the Gambino family as a warning to the entire Hollywood: don’t mess with He Sichan, or face the consequences.
"I understand."
The next moment, Anna immediately dialed Cyril’s number.
Anna might be Olivia’s nanny, but she was also one of Olivia’s trusted favorites. Cyril had invited Anna to dinner more than once, hoping she would put in a few good words in front of Olivia, so of course she had Cyril’s number.
As soon as the call connected, before Anna even opened her mouth, Cyril’s loud voice boomed around them.
"My friend, Miss Anna, what a surprise, I never thought you’d think of calling me..."
"Cyril, as much as I’d like to chat with you, I think we’d better talk business first."
"Please, Miss Anna, go ahead!"
"Your son Nolan tried to lay hands on Miss He, and the King saw it with his own eyes. He wants you to give him an explanation, otherwise he’ll be paying your Gambino family a visit!" Anna didn’t bother with nonsense and laid it all out bluntly.
"What?" Cyril’s voice suddenly shot up a few notches. "Miss Anna, that’s not a joke you can make..."
"Cyril, your son’s got a death wish!" Anna said coolly. "I’m just a servant, so it doesn’t matter what happens to me, but Miss He is unimaginably noble—you know that very well..."
"Miss Anna, is the King still by your side?"
"Yes!"
"Could I trouble you to let me speak with the King for a moment..."
"I’ll ask!"
The next second, Anna turned to Ye Xunhuan. "Cyril wants to speak with you."
"I don’t feel like talking to him." Ye Xunhuan said calmly. "Tell him that if he doesn’t give me a satisfactory explanation, the glory days of the Gambino family are over."
With that, Ye Xunhuan said nothing more, simply turned and left with He Sichan. As for the people still standing there, he didn’t even spare them a glance, leaving behind only the image of an aloof, wildly arrogant back.
Watching Ye Xunhuan and He Sichan’s retreating figures, everyone’s hearts wouldn’t calm down for a long time. Just who was this man, to dare treat Cyril like nothing, even openly hinting at wiping out the Gambino family!
Did he think he was the President or something?
"Cyril, you heard him, right?"
"Miss Anna, I swear, I will teach Nolan a proper lesson. Please, I beg you, put in a word for me in front of the King..."
"Oh right, my master still doesn’t know about this yet. Cyril, your son is really something—he managed to offend two people in one go!" Anna said softly. "Figure out the rest yourself!"
