The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Emilia was just about to respond to her partner when she felt Crystal nudge her gently.

"Look."

The crimson-haired girl couldn\'t help but frown in displeasure when she saw who it was who caught her girlfriend\'s attention. \'I thought he would be dissuaded by the crowd, yet here he is...\'

Naturally, Alexander was too proud to approach her when she was being hounded by a bunch of other \'suitors\', though it did please him to see Emilia being so \'valued\' by many would-be peers.

After all, the girl these usually proud and arrogant people were only able to covet was someone he could get to readily submit beneath his crotch at any time he pleased.

Once the suitors started fighting among themselves and left her alone, however, Alexander quickly took the opportunity to swoop with a handsome and calm smile lingering on his face. "Surprised?"

With his dashing appearance and recently revealed identity as the most desirable bachelor in the world, he could only imagine how drenched this girl must be.

But with his father being present and the importance of the event, Alexander didn\'t dare to just leave the venue with the girl to do what he was really looking forward to after such a long wait.

Looking at his smug smile, Emilia could pretty much guess how proud he must be right now.

Unfortunately for him, the crimson-haired girl felt no need to play along too much now that Alexander was already here.

After all, if Emilia continued to feed the \'prey\' more bait after it was already helpless, she would be a poultry farmer, not a hunter. And while she respected all professions, raising cattle was never one of her hobbies.

Knowing that being too rude in public without obvious reasons wouldn\'t be good for her reputation, however, the crimson-haired girl still gave him a nonchalant nod. "Hello."

The curious and probing eyes from the onlookers soon faded away as most of them \'realized\' that the newly crowned empress of Blue Dawn wasn\'t really particularly close to the Gray Wolfe\'s heir after all.

Feeling her blonde girlfriend subtly relaxing, Emilia also knew that she\'d made the right choice.

Of course, Alexander was momentarily dumbfounded by her casual response, but he soon realized that the girl must be either insecure or shy. \'Oh, no wonder… she must be in shock that I turned out to be the future owner of Gray Wolfe, someone who can crush her seemingly invincible parents with barely a thought!\'

Considering how infatuated she was even before she knew of his terrifying background, Alexander couldn\'t help but puff his chest out in pride. "To be honest, I didn\'t really plan to tell you about it until much later so you don\'t feel insecure, but you were too scared of that gray-haired woman, and felt like we could only meet at the Golden Crown."

His reproachful tone was full of subtle blame, and Emilia almost ended up rolling her eyes involuntarily, but managed to control herself just in time. "Noelle is only trying to look out for my safety and happiness, you know?"

Alexander didn\'t notice the difference in her tone, and assumed that she was just making excuses because she felt cornered. "Heh, forget about that, I have a big heart. As long as she apologizes to me later, I can forgive her for your sake."

Of course, he only said so to make Emilia feel more grateful. Even if he could forgive the people at Black Tiger for trying to kill him, he couldn\'t forgive the insolent fool who tried to humiliate him in public!

It was a pity, though, that the gray-haired bitch that he wanted to humiliate the most wasn\'t by Emilia\'s side today. \'I guess she\'s not really as important as she thinks she is after all. Whatever, I\'ll take care of that cheap whore later.\'

The crimson-haired girl was naturally not very \'grateful\' to Alexander for his mercy, and sneered at the girl in his arms instead. "Say, miss Rhea, right? Didn\'t you just have your lucky debut on the big stage?"

Naturally, this wasn\'t something she discovered on her own, but just what her blonde girlfriend whispered in her ear. And looking at the short-haired redhead, Emilia knew that as long as this girl worked hard, her path as an actress would definitely not be short.

Of course, she was far from the level of the movie queens who could enter and exit even extremely complex roles at will, but as most movies and TV shows weren\'t done in one take, that wasn\'t something that couldn\'t be overcome with dedication.

Seeing someone with a bright future tying themselves to a boat she was about to shoot at, Emilia couldn\'t help but try to give her a gentle reminder once more. "Throwing away your rising career like this… are you sure you won\'t regret it later in your life?"

Alexander obviously couldn\'t even imagine what she was actually implying, and only thought that Emilia must be trying to convince his companion that \'falling in love\' would end up disrupting her \'rising career\'.

He \'considerately \'stepped back from the two of them with a knowing smile. \'I knew she would be jealous and pick on the girl I bring with me… heh, all girls are the same. Luckily, I brought a disposable bitch. Rising career… ahaha… good one. I guess this little girl isn\'t so stupid, after all…\'

In contrast to Alexander\'s calm self, though, his companion was naturally shocked when she was addressed by Emilia. After being treated as air by everyone else, she almost forgot that she wasn\'t playing the role of a ghost.

Luckily, though, she wasn\'t sipping or chewing on anything, which saved her from choking to death.

Who could have known that someone at the Golden Crown would actually take the initiative to talk to her? And it wasn\'t just a local snake or a pervert, but the girl who had been the hottest trending topic on the web for months!

For a moment, Rhea was almost on cloud nine, but the moment she recalled what she \'knew\' now, the girl quickly plunged back into the icy depths of hell. \'Oh fuck! Going by how Alex was talking to her… don\'t tell me this girl is taking me as her rival?!\'

Although the young actress had only received her first significant role in a major film recently, it had to be said that she didn\'t become a \'rising star\' out of nowhere. Having worked countless small roles for the past three years, Rhea was very familiar with how the entertainment industry worked by now.

For people like her, the biggest taboo wasn\'t getting on the nerves of fellow people in the entertainment industry, but offending the \'investors\'.

After all, drama and intrigue with their \'fellows\' could only do so much damage if managed properly, but people high up the \'food chain\' played a completely different game.

Caring about neither law nor reputation, there were no limits to what they could and couldn\'t do.

This was why, when Alexander came to her saying he \'admired her skills\' and \'wouldn\'t mind taking her on a date to the Golden Crown\', Rhea didn\'t have the slightest intention to refuse.

Come what may, at least she will have both her hands and legs after all was said and done, right?

But looking at the dazzling, icy gaze of the crimson-haired beauty in front of her, Rhea only felt darkness clouding her vision.

She was so terrified that the poor girl didn\'t even hear Emilia\'s \'concerned\' question, and only a single thought kept ringing through her mind. \'I-It\'s over… OVER!\'
