That kind of physique wasn’t common among male celebrities, either.
The next moment, Charles clenched his fist and swung it at Samuel. “While others have mouths to speak, it looks like you can only spout nonsense!”
Samuel hadn’t expected Charles to resort to violence. The punch came so swiftly that it was clear Charles had trained well. Samuel yelped in pain as the blow landed squarely, and he staggered back. The rest of the film crew stood frozen, stunned by what had just happened.
“What’s going on? Charles, you—”
Charles’ anger wasn’t quenched by the punch. After all, Skylar was the little sister he and Steven had always doted on since she was young. To hear Samuel’s derogatory remarks about her had set him off.
“Charles Sullivan, are you out of your mind? You’re asking for trouble!” Samuel snapped, finally recovering from the blow and preparing to strike back. But the others quickly stepped in to separate them.
Charles’ eyes blazed with fury. “Think before you speak next time! Otherwise, I’ll quit the entertainment industry and make sure you regret it!”
His words, delivered with fierce determination, left everyone stunned. The usually friendly, gentle, and professional Charles was now a completely different person. He had never been seen this angry before.
Charles had thrown his punch with everything he had, but fortunately for Samuel, he managed to dodge it. The blow didn’t land on his face, but instead on his shoulder, avoiding any serious damage.
“You can defend her now, but one day, you’ll be proven wrong!” Samuel spat furiously. “Do you really think she’s a decent woman?”
Samuel’s words made him sick. He couldn’t stand the thought of Skylar being involved with what he deemed a “boy toy.” She was merely driving a car worth over ten thousand dollars. What did she think—was she going to keep him interested for long? He believed she was being played for a fool.
Charles was beyond enraged. “Do you think you’re a saint? Your acting is a joke! Acting with you requires serious mental preparation. I even had to imagine you were someone else! Before you start insulting others, take a good look in the mirror!”
Samuel had crossed the line, and Charles wasn’t holding back anymore. In the past, Charles had refrained from speaking out, maintaining mutual respect as they were in the same industry. But now, respect was gone. Samuel had disrespected Skylar, and that was unforgivable.
Samuel’s face twisted in fury. It was as though Charles had exposed a deep insecurity. His temper flared, and he yelled, “Charles Sullivan, I’ll kill you!”
Without hesitation, they charged at each other again.
Having grown up in the countryside, Charles was no stranger to a fight. Though two people tried to hold him back, he still managed to land several powerful kicks to Samuel.
Samuel, shaking with rage, couldn’t seem to get the upper hand. His earlier threats had been nothing more than empty boasts.
“Let’s see who’ll kill who! With your scrawny body, I could take you down with just a few punches!” Charles’ eyes gleamed with a savage intensity, his expression like that of a predator eyeing its prey.
Samuel and the others were taken aback by the cold fury in Charles’ gaze. It was clear to everyone now—Samuel had pushed Charles beyond his limit.
