Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Pin Down The Fox Spirit

Perhaps it was to avenge the slap she gave him; it wasn’t until dawn broke that he finally let her go.

The next morning, she woke up in her own room. Delphine got out of bed expressionlessly, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out carrying her bag.

Passing a pharmacy on the way, she went in and bought emergency contraception. Last night, Ignatius Leclair hadn’t used any protection. That man must have lost his mind.

She took the pills and ate some simple noodles to fill her stomach. Her agent, Jason, called her, furious and swearing, "Gu—Del—phine, the runway show at ten this morning—did you seriously forget it AGAIN?"

Delphine silently moved the phone slightly away from her ear. After Jason finished venting his anger, she replied sluggishly, "I forgot."

She’d been tormented by Ignatius Leclair the whole night and was waking up close to noon. In any case, as an inexperienced model relying solely on her face and long legs, Jason couldn’t get her into high-end runways. She typically worked mall runways, which required revealing outfits. In her current state, wearing anything too exposing simply wasn’t an option.

"The modeling path isn’t going to work for you anymore. I’ve stretched my face thin pulling resources for you, and now they’re saying they won’t hire you again in the future."

Jason sounded livid, his face practically green with rage. "Even the lowest-tier runway gigs don’t want you. With just a high school diploma, what else can you even do?"

Delphine irritably ran her hand through her hair and said, "Then I’ll go back to school for now."

Jason paused upon hearing this. Realizing he’d been too harsh, he sighed and said, "Delphine, at your age, going back to school is pushing it. How about joining the Entertainment Sector instead? You’ve got the looks, and coincidentally, Joy’s crew is short a female supporting role. I’ll take you to try out."

Joy was someone who mingled in the Entertainment Sector—a deputy director, which, frankly speaking, was just the director’s underling.

"Is the pay settled daily?" she asked, her tone light and indifferent.

"Is that really all you care about?" Jason gritted his teeth. "Fine. Report to the company immediately—daily pay it is."

Delphine hung up the phone, ran her hands through her voluminous and slightly curled hair, grabbed her backpack, and headed off carefree to report to the company.

The entertainment company she belonged to wasn’t very large, with only a dozen or so artists under its name—most of them as obscure as she was, floating between the modeling and acting worlds. To put it plainly, they went wherever there was money to be made.

Arriving at the company, she saw the reception area was bustling with commotion. A crowd of onlookers had gathered.

A middle-aged woman dressed in flashy jewelry, looking every bit the wealthy madam, was leading a group of three or four women, roughing up a young model lying on the floor. As she beat her, she cursed, "Strip her clothes off! Let her seduce men, this shameless whore!"

The young model being attacked had her face scratched, makeup streaked with tears in patches of black and white. The crowd murmured among themselves but didn’t step in to help.

Delphine noticed the young model had been stripped down to nothing but her underwear. She was bawling, pinned to the ground by a group of women, unable to move.

Delphine took out her phone to record the scene, then strode up to the wealthy madam and said coldly, "I’ve already called the police and recorded a video. If this escalates, it won’t just be a charge of intentional assault—your husband won’t escape responsibility either."

The wealthy madam, still fuming with rage, noticed Delphine stepping forward. Stunningly beautiful, her appearance ignited fresh anger and jealousy toward these young, alluring "Fox Spirits." She put her hands on her hips and shrieked, "Grab this Fox Spirit too! Hold her down!"
