No Wife, No Life Chapter 300
The agent knew exactly who Emery was.
Emery and Molly were part of the same production crew and had always been at each other's throats.
This time, Emery had paid off a gossip blogger to spread rumors about Molly, but it was all orchestrated by Xavia. Without Xavia's support, Emery wouldn't have dared to go that far.
Emery didn't expect Kathie and Peyton to step in for Molly, leading to her immediate detention.
She had hoped Xavia would use her influence as an award-winning actress to smooth things over. But to her surprise, Xavia stayed silent and unreachable after it was exposed, as if she had disappeared.
When Xavia asked about Emery, the agent felt a bit uneasy and said, "She's just detained for now. The legal process will take some time, so it's unclear how long she'll be sentenced."
Xavia casually turned off her phone and smiled at the agent. "Once Emery is in, pin the Max incident on her. Make sure the public believes Emery resented me and Molly, which is why she did it."
If Emery got into trouble, all the schemes would be attributed to her, leaving Xavia unscathed.
The agent gave Xavia a long look, feeling a chill inside. Xavia was so ruthless that if the she ever made a mistake, Xavia would treat her the same way. It was time to find an exit strategy.
Dealing with such people would eventually lead to her demise.
Meanwhile, Molly was unaware of all this, enjoying her time with Arthur at the villa.
At that moment, a piece of news about Xavia suddenly went viral.

Xavia's fans initially thought it was good news, but upon clicking, they found it was related to Molly.
The article revealed that the man pretending to be Molly's fan was hired by Xavia. Evidence showed that Xavia's agent had transferred a large sum of money to Max, and Max's wife and children had already left Majestic City with the money.
The agent's actions were surely under Xavia's orders.
The revelation caused an uproar online.
No one expected the gentle and kind actress Xavia to be so vicious, using such underhanded tactics against Molly.
Why was Xavia targeting Molly? Was it because Molly looked like her, or because Molly was too popular?
Xavia's facade of gentleness and kindness was completely shattered.
Molly, still unaware of Harper's big favor, was lazily nestled in Arthur's arms when her phone rang.
The caller was Leroy Robbins, the director of "Mist."
"Mist" had finished filming, and the editing was complete. Now, it was time for voiceovers.
Leroy contacted the main cast for the voiceover work, including Molly, who played a significant role.
Molly, currently on vacation, had time and agreed to go to the recording studio that afternoon.
After hanging up, Arthur asked, "Got work?"
"Leroy wants me to do some voiceover work at the Davis Entertainment Company studio."
Molly showed him the location Leroy sent. "Wanna come with me? You can supervise my work anytime."
Molly smiled, looking surprisingly energized despite their recent bedroom activities.
Arthur observed her with a hint of amusement. "You really aren't tired at all, are you?"
Molly quickly pleaded, "No, I'm truly worn out. I took this job because I can sit while doing the voiceover. I'm really tired; please spare me. My body can't take it anymore."
She snuggled into his arms, not moving an inch.
Arthur looked down at Molly, who was nuzzling against him. He didn't speak but held her hand.
Molly, leaning against his chest, could clearly hear their heartbeats. Her breathing was a bit erratic, and her eyelashes fluttered.
She then buried her head in Arthur's chest and sneakily made a heart shape with her other hand.
Arthur looked down and mimicked her heart shape.
Molly was amused by her behaviour. "Have you never been in a relationship before?" she teased him.
Arthur's lips tightened. "Are you proud of yourself?"
Molly tilted her head and touched Arthur's lower lip. "I'm really proud. You looked so cute making that heart shape."
He seemed a bit embarrassed.
He had never been in a relationship, only having a crush on Xavia during his innocent teenage years. Back then, liking someone meant wanting to give everything, feeling happy just seeing them, and being content just being around them without saying anything.
But thinking back, Xavia had also made a heart shape for him.
Xavia, once in her school uniform, had raised her arms above her head and smiled as she made a big heart during a school event.
Remembering this, Arthur looked down at Molly. "I remember we still have a school uniform skirt at home."
Molly was puzzled. "Didn't you tear it up?"
They often played role-playing games at home, so Molly immediately thought of that.
Arthur replied without hesitation, "There are many scripts. One set isn't enough."
Molly didn't want to ask what kind of scripts, knowing they wouldn't be anything serious.
She wore the school uniform skirt once, and it got ruined.
Molly pouted. "I'm not wearing it. I have to work this afternoon.He pinched Molly's chin, pressing her lower lip suggestively. "I just want you to make a heart shape."
Molly was speechless. What kind of request was that, just to make a heart shape?
What a bizarre request.
Molly looked at him skeptically. "Really, just a heart shape?"
Arthur played with her ear. "You can play something else if you want."
"No, I don't want to." Molly quickly got out of his arms. "I'll go find the school uniform skirt."
The villa had many rooms; two of which were Molly's walk-in closets. The wardrobe against the wall was filled with Arthur's various clothes.
Molly opened and searched but couldn't find the school uniform skirt. She was puzzled and then saw a recently opened box.
Hesitantly, she opened it and found it full of school uniform skirts.
Molly's eyes widened in shock.
He didn't just want to play; he wanted to torment her.
