Lola crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Hailey.
What were you doing?
Hailey's lips curved slightly, "I didn't do much, I just looked at the actors' costumes."
"Really? Zoey is in charge of Madeleine's clothing, so your reason for coming here to look at the clothes is not sufficient."
Hailey looked into Lola's shrewd eyes and felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to find Ms. Harmon and hope she can forgive me."
Lola raised her chin and said, "Didn't we hit a wall last time? Did you come up with a good solution this time?"
Hailey replied, "No, but I want to have another chance to try."
"Did you ask for forgiveness after secretly taking pictures of someone's artwork?"
"No!" Hailey's decibel level instantly rose, "I didn't take any photos!"
Lola looked at her trembling hand tightly clutching the phone and said, "Alright, then bring up the photo for me to inspect."
"You had no right to order me, to
Russell's thin lips tightened, unable to hide his low voice of disappointment, "I knew."Zoey stifled a laugh and asked, "What did you find out?""I knew you had to work overtime because there was only about a week left until the competition."Zoey approached him, blinking her eyes, "Are you angry?""No.""Really?"The man nodded lightly and said, "Really, I supported your work."Zoey sighed, "Alright, originally I wanted to go to the set during the day and come back early in the evening to be with you. Since you are so supportive of my work, I will switch with Leanna. She can go to the set, and I will work overtime in the design room."Russell realized upon hearing the words that Zoey was teasing him.He put down the knife and fork in his hand, and lifted the person onto his lap. "Little one, did you deceive me?"Zoey's beautiful eyes sparkled, as she held the man's cheeks in her hands and sighed, "Your face just
With a loud bang, Madeleine let out a painful cry, her furrowed brow indicating her agony, and her entire body fell backwards.Shortly after, there was an explosion at the entrance of the mansion, and a massive fire broke out, exceptionally fierce.Giancarlo hesitated for a moment and muttered, "But why is the fire so big?"Zoey's pupils shook, "No, that was a real gun!"She grabbed a blanket and ran towards the mansion.Giancarlo stood there, looking confused. He picked up the walkie-talkie and anxiously asked, "Can the staff inside please respond? What's the situation in there now? Why is the fire so big?"He did not wait for someone to answer, and many people with fire on their bodies rushed out of the mansion.They wailed in agony, rolling on the ground repeatedly.People outside the mansion, upon seeing this scene, were initially startled and then began to rescue the individuals.At that moment, the director realize
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor when a doctor hurriedly walked out and said these words.Brodie stepped forward and said, "I am Brodie, a cardiologist. Madeleine is my sister, and I could perform the surgery on her."The doctor had naturally heard of Brodie, the world-renowned expert. Whenever he intervened, the success rate of surgeries increased from fifty percent to ninety percent.The doctor nodded, "Then please let Prof. Keller personally perform the operation."Brodie nodded, "Prepare the operating room, there is no time to waste."Doctor, "Okay."Because Zoey was not seriously injured, she was transferred to a regular ward.Russell guarded her and let Troy follow Royce and Lola to wait in front of the operating room, and if there was any news, they would inform him immediately.Russell looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed. Although the doctor said there was no ma
Russell maneuvered his wheelchair to the small window by the door of the ward and saw Leanna sitting in front of the bed, muttering to herself.Leanna had already heard about the incident on set an hour later because she had been secluded, working on making the competition clothes.It was only when Toby personally came to Galaxy Studio to find her that she found out.All the way, she was regretting that if she hadn't given Zoey a day off, or if she had come to the set today, Zoey wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.Leanna wiped away her tears and held the fair hand of the girl. "Zoey, when will you wake up? You said, why are you so foolish, rushing in to save people even when it's so dangerous. But if you didn't help, it wouldn't be your character. I guess if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the ability, let alone the courage to save someone. I believe Madeleine will be fine, you have to wake up quickly, okay?"The person on the sickbed s
After hanging up the phone, Russell asked Troy to check Nathalie's recent communications and then returned to the hospital bed.He held Zoey tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.At this moment, he had no sleepiness, and his eyes gazed into the pitch-black night.Whoever hurt Zoey, he would never let him go.Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce was driving on the way to the apartment.Leanna glanced at the man gripping the steering wheel and coughed lightly, "I wanted to go back to the design room, the direction of this road is wrong."Toby remained unfazed, "It was already past twelve, are you planning to stay up all night?""The designers in the design studio were busy until around 2 am before they went to rest, it feels a bit unfair for me to sleep so early."Toby looked ahead and said softly, "So, is it unnecessary to pay them such high salaries when you become the boss and work so hard?"Leanna pursed
Toby slept lightly and instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.When Leanna rushed to the bedside, before she could say anything, she was grabbed by the man and pulled into his arms.The man flipped over and pinned down Leanna."Considering all night long, in the end, couldn't help but burst out?"Leanna's mouth twitched, "I didn't come to pounce on you..."The remaining words were all blocked by the man, and Leanna made a whimpering sound from her mouth, continuously patting the man's shoulders with her hands.However, she was soon melted by the man's burning temperature. She weakly clung to the man's neck with her hands, and a soft moan escaped from her throat."Is it possible?"Toby gently inquired, and these three words also brought Leanna to some extent of clarity.She trembled her eyelashes and looked at the exceptionally handsome face of the man above her. Suddenly, she pushe
The crowd heard the words and were all a little puzzled.The forensic asked, "Isn't it normal for a suicide victim to willingly choose death?""Not normal. Even in the case of suicide, the deceased would have a struggle process, it's impossible to leave no trace at all. Hailey didn't have any. I suspect she was hypnotized by someone, then wrote a suicide note before dying."The crowd couldn't help but be startled, as if they were all contemplating this possibility.Zoey said, "Hailey and I did have conflicts, but it never escalated to the point of wanting to kill each other. Besides, she had no reason to write about plotting against herself. It is obvious that someone intentionally did it, in order to set up a scapegoat for this shooting incident and prevent the police from further investigation."Russell naturally had full confidence in Zoey, "There was a high possibility of this."The director nodded, "It was indeed suspicious, so let's co
This recording pen confirmed Zoey's conjecture, so Hailey was not a suicide at all, but a murder.The man in the recording pen was crucial. As long as he was found, we could follow the clues and find the "treasure" he mentioned.By then, everything would be revealed in the truth.Russell said, "We investigated the surveillance thoroughly, both on the set and around this building, but the other party was very professional and didn't leave any clues at all."Zoey thought for a moment, "The fact that Hailey had time to press the recording pen indicates that she knew this man, so Hailey was not suddenly chosen as a scapegoat, but she was involved in the explosion on the set. I suspect that she was also involved in the gun swap and the planting of explosives. It's just that the surveillance was cut off and didn't capture it."Russell nodded, "This speculation is reasonable. We investigated Hailey and found no abnormalities, so it is highly likely that s
As time went by, those girls who gave gifts came to know that the things Layne liked were actually the things Evelin liked.They were very angry and, after discussing it, they had a very honest girl call Evelin out.The girl nodded and said to Evelin, "I'm sorry, really sorry."Evelin sensed something was wrong and wanted to turn around and leave, but she was surrounded by twenty girls.Among them were the short hair, long hair, and curly hair that blocked her in the bathroom last time.Long hair stood up, arms crossed, "Evelin, how shameless you are! You actually told us that Layne likes to eat fried chicken and french fries, when in fact they all went into your stomach!"Short hair snorted, "Evelin, how could you be so cheap! How could you come up with such a rotten idea? Aren't you afraid of choking on those things you eat?"Curly hair rolled up his sleeves and said, "You really deserve a beating! With twenty people present, if you
The girls started to show their figures when they entered junior high school. They didn't like wearing plain school uniforms and clothes. They believed that showing off their slim waists was beautiful.The three girls surrounding Evelin were dressed like this, with makeup on their faces and pierced ears."Are you Evelin?" the person with short hair asked.Evelin glanced at the three people and did not show any fear. "I am, is there something wrong?"The girl with long hair sighed and looked her up and down, "You, ate all the delicious food we sent to Layne?"Evelin blinked and immediately understood the intention of the three people. It turned out that they were Layne's suitors.She nodded, "Yes, you guys gave it to him, so it's his. He can give it to whoever he wants to eat, and you have no right to interfere!"The three of them instantly got angry and rolled up their sleeves, all ready to get physical.Evelin raised her hand
Just as Nancy was about to cut her own cheek, blood started to seep from Elliott's forehead.The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he toppled backwards.Dalton acted swiftly and quickly stepped forward to save Nacy.Nacy tightly clung to the man's neck, her voice choked with tears, "Dad!"Nancy dropped the dagger and ran over, "Nancy, are you okay?"Nacy hugged her again, "I'm fine! Is mom okay?"Nancy shook her head, "I was fine too."She looked at Elliott, who was lying motionless on the ground, and asked, "Was he shot?"Dalton glanced at the deceased man and said, "Yes."He looked up at the sky and said, "It was a robot drone designed by Russell."Nancy had a feeling of surviving a disaster, "I am so grateful to Russell and Zoey."Dalton sighed and said, "Yeah, if it weren't for them, we would have really perished here."Nacy asked, "Dad, were you stabbed by a knife? Are you
The evening sun's afterglow shone through the broken glass into the factory.Nancy knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, "Elliott, please don't hurt her, okay? She's just a five-year-old child."Elliott sneered, "Child? So what? Amiya is sad, none of you can be happy! Amiya is in jail, you all will be buried with her! It's all because of your existence that Dalton lost his mind! What can you compare to Amiya? Dalton is truly blind! What have you all turned Amiya into, such a good, innocent and kind person? Tell me, are you all wrong or not?"Nancy couldn't argue with him, afraid of angering him, as he would do something to harm Nancy."We were wrong, all of us. Elliott, could you please put the knife down? Calm down a bit, what you're doing is not worth it."Elliott pointed a knife at Nancy and said, "Not worth it? It's definitely worth it! I'm going to kill all three of you today, oh wait, it's actually four of you, because you're pregnant! M
Dalton was afraid of making Nancy dizzy, so he quickly stopped.In the midst of joy, it is essential to ensure safety and not get carried away.The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes couldn't help but become moist.It was really not easy to come this far.Dalton held Nancy tightly, a 6'2" man burying his face in the crook of her neck, and cried out in suppressed sobs.Nancy patted the man's sturdy back and said, "All the hardships have passed, and we will only get better."Dalton nodded, "It would be fine."Chelsea's call interrupted the two of them. Dalton and Nancy looked over and saw a woman, tears streaming down her face, filled with guilt.Chelsea said, "Nancy, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."Nancy laughed and said, "Whether there were misunderstandings or not, at that moment, we were expressing our normal and true thoughts."Chelsea asked, "Are you blaming me?"Nancy raised an ey
Dalton looked past her indifferently and gave her an affirmative answer, "Yes!"Amiya simply couldn't accept the fact that she had gone from being a hunter to being the hunted, being manipulated by others."How could this happen? How? Where did it go wrong?" She couldn't believe that her perfect plan had failed.She looked down at the baby in her arms, and it was not Dalton's child at all. Whose child was it?She looked at Sam abruptly, "Whose sperm is this? Whose?"Sam's mouth twitched, "I just randomly picked one, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"There were three types of people who stored sperm in the sperm bank in the past. One type was the highly educated individuals, another type was the wealthy individuals, and the third type was the lower-class individuals.Those low-level workers who couldn't afford to marry a wife, but still wanted to have descendants everywhere, would adopt such a way of behavior.Dalton smirked, "Wo
The Jenkins family invited the big shots from the upper class circle to their full moon banquet, and most of them came to the party with the intention of just watching the excitement.After all, who doesn't love to eat the melon of a wealthy family?The Blevins family, who were once expelled from overseas by Dalton, have also become honored guests and have risen in status, all because the wife who couldn't conceive was abandoned and the mistress, with the birth of a child, managed to turn her life around.People who used to sneer at them in the past, now when they see them, they can't help but nod and flatter them.The banquet hall was lavishly decorated, with photos and videos of the little baby playing on the LED big screen. Dalton was greeting the guests with Amiya, going around.Everyone treated her politely and called her Mrs. Jenkins.Only the Jenkins family and the Blevins family knew that Dalton and Nancy had not yet obtained a divorce certificate.Dalton's excuse was that Nan
Nancy held Nacy in her arms, watching all of this coldly. Chelsea, who had once treated her like a daughter, became hysterical in that moment.The people around kept pointing and whispering."This woman actually targeted a pregnant woman. She is truly wicked!"Anyway, the child was innocent!"You saw how she hurt the pregnant woman, and she didn't feel any guilt at all. This kind of person should be cyberbullied!""That's right! Send photos, send videos to her and upload them online!"***Nacy tightly held onto Nancy's neck, fear evident in her eyes. "Mom, I'm scared.""Don't be afraid, I would protect you."Chelsea looked as Amiya's skirt became stained with blood, and she felt a sense of unease. She directed her anger towards Nancy and said, "Nancy, you wanted to exterminate the Jenkins family, didn't you? You and this bastard have truly destroyed the Jenkins family!"Bastard?As soon as this word came out, the onlookers all imagined a grand drama of a wealthy family."Could it be t
Nancy looked at Dalton and asked, "Did your mother have any thoughts of divorcing me now?"Dalton didn't want any rift between the two of them, so he spoke honestly, "There's something, I guess Amiya did some brainwashing on her. But it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because no one can influence me. The reason why my parents are acting this way is also because Amiya is really good at manipulating people. Nancy, you are in my eyes and in my heart."Nancy sighed lightly, "I know, I won't run away or be cowardly like before. I loved you, and I fought for us, unless one day you didn't want me anymore."Dalton's thin lips curved up, "I was really afraid that you would bring up the child and say that you wanted to leave me, and all that. We don't want to reach that point, you know?"Nancy nodded, "We could give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can go for in vitro fertilization."Dalton was glad that she was able to open up, and he embraced her in his arms. "Good. It's coming s
