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
The next afternoon.Joselyn didn't wait for Brodie on time because he had to perform a last-minute surgery.The injured person was involved in a serious car accident, rear-ending a delivery truck carrying steel bars. The steel bars directly pierced through the windshield and into his chest cavity.The firefighters arrived and used hydraulic pliers to cut the steel bars, then they lifted the person out.At that time, the injured person had lost too much blood and was unconscious. By the time they were taken to the hospital, they had already gone into shock.After the examination, the doctor discovered that the patient's lungs had been punctured and the heart was partially damaged. It was determined that a surgery involving both a cardiac surgeon and a thoracic surgeon was necessary.Because the surgery was very difficult, an extremely experienced doctor was needed to perform it.Brodie had been ready to leave, but he received a call fr
Brodie escorted Joselyn up the stairs and watched her enter the room. He reminded her, "Before going to bed, make sure to drink some hot water and keep warm, otherwise you might easily catch a cold."Joselyn nodded, her eyes clear and bright. "Okay, Brodie, you should rest early too."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Close the door."Joselyn lightly hummed and closed the door.Hearing the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Joselyn knew that the man had left.She changed her shoes and entered the kitchen. She poured a cup of warm water from the water heater, and the warm water flowed into her throat, instantly warming her slightly chilly body.However, she suddenly realized that she had been listening to Brodie, probably because he was a doctor.Oops, I forgot to ask him which floor he lives on in the opposite building.What did you ask so many layers for?Do you want to peep on others?Joselyn shrugged, wond
Brodie lowered his gaze and pursed his lips, "There was no suitable one."He did not want to portray himself as a lovesick fool, seeking others' sympathy.Joselyn raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "You are so excellent, you will definitely find a girl who suits you."Brodie smiled and said, "Maybe."He looked towards the artificial lake and said, "It has frozen over there, let's go take a look."Joselyn looked in the past, and the ice under the street lamp was smooth, shining like a mirror."Could you ice skate?""It should be possible, after all, it is already below zero now."The Rosario family also had an artificial lake, but at this moment, Joselyn felt that the Keller family's was more fun than the Rosario family's.She was particularly cheerful, opening her arms and running towards the ice.With a splash, she stepped directly onto a thin layer of ice and fell into the cold water.The lake water
Joselyn accompanied Tabitha to the restaurant. Although she was lively, she was still a bit reserved when faced with a large family.However, the Keller family was extremely welcoming and took good care of her.Tabitha kept serving her food, "Look how thin you are, eat more."Joselyn smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grandma.""I really like this child. He is beautiful and has a good personality. Look at how well our Royce and Brodie are doing," Tabitha said as she began to promote her well-behaved grandchildren.Now there are only Royce and Brodie left, and if she works hard enough, she will be able to be the only one left.Upon hearing this, Royce felt a headache. "Grandma, I was nine years older than Joselyn. Please, be kind and don't drag her into trouble."Tabitha frowned, "It seems a bit too big."Her gaze fell on Brodie again, "You are seven years older, but this age difference is acceptable."Brodie let out a
Brodie furrowed his brow and asked, "What does Ms. Hester want?""I just wanted to invite you to have a meal." Deborah smiled, "I have asked you out several times already, can Professor Keller give me a chance?"Brodie naturally knew in his heart that Deborah didn't just want to have a meal with him, and then ask for his phone number, leading to entanglement.He had no slightest bit of interest in her, and Joselyn didn't seem to belong to the category of relatives, so he directly refused in order to avoid any further trouble."Sorry, Ms. Hester, I indeed didn't have a surgery tonight, so I had some free time, but my family was waiting for me to have dinner together."Deborah blinked her eyes innocently and naively, "Can't we have dinner with our family another day?"Brodie chuckled lightly, "Is it you who is important or my family? I haven't been home for a few days, finally had some time to have a meal with my family, and now you want me to
Brodie didn't expect to escape Davis and Tabitha's pressure to get married at home, and he still couldn't escape it at the hospital.He smiled faintly and said, "Not yet."Joselyn's grandmother's eyes lit up, and she stood up and looked Brodie up and down. "This young man is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for our Joselyn."Joselyn's mouth twitched. "Grandma, why did you randomly choose the 'Mandarin Duck' song? Do you know who he is?"Joselyn's grandmother smiled and said, "He is my future grandson-in-law."Joselyn. “..."Brodie pushed his wireframe glasses and nodded slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Brodie."Joselyn's grandmother laughed, "See, this is Joselyn we're talking about. She even started introducing herself willingly."The crowd. “..."Joselyn almost blushed in the past, she tugged at her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, this is Kristian's second cousin.""What?"
Brodie and Joselyn had finished their meal, and it was almost eight o'clock. The table was a mess.Joselyn patted her stomach and said, "After this meal, I definitely gained two pounds."Brodie chuckled, "You were too thin, it would be better to gain some weight. With all the recent experiences, I'm sure you had a lot of mental pressure, so it's good to have a broad mind and a plump body."Joselyn nodded, "That's true. But thanks to you, otherwise my mom would have been in danger. I must treat you to this meal.""Fine," Brodie shrugged, "then I won't compete with you for the order."After the two of them went downstairs and settled the bill, the waiter informed them that the boss was treating them.Joselyn sighed and said, "I wanted to invite you, but since I couldn't, next time when you have time, I will invite you again."Brodie nodded slightly, "Okay."Joselyn was twenty-three years old, seven years younger than Brodie.
Brodie and Joselyn left the Inpatient Department.Brodie asked, "Did you drive?"Joselyn shook her head, "I was a typical pedestrian, not suitable for driving, so I took a taxi here."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Then, ride in my car.""Okay."The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Brodie, being a gentleman, opened the passenger door for her. Joselyn politely thanked him and got in.After Brodie got on the car, he saw that Joselyn had already fastened her seatbelt.He smiled and said, "Although it was a hit-and-run, the awareness of safety was quite strong."Joselyn shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Since the incident with Porter, I felt that life was too fragile, and at any moment, my own life could be in danger. Of course, I am afraid of death myself, but what I fear even more is that if my parents were to lose me again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it."Brodie could fully understand the phrase "life
The next day, Brodie went to the hospital as usual. He arrived at the ICU to check on Kinley's condition. There were no signs of rejection and there were indications of recovery.He remembered Porter, a man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and cunning.The tragedies of the Rosario family were all caused by this person and, in the end, it was also him who put an end to them. He probably thought that Porter was here to collect a debt and repay it.Leaving the ICU ward, he went to Mr. Hester's room.Brodie was taken aback, as the person in front of him looked completely different from yesterday, no longer dressed as a zombie nurse but rather as a standard socialite.He nodded slightly, "Hello, I came to check on Mr. Hester's condition."Mr. Hester wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Brodie. "Don't speak, I will examine you."Mr. Hester nodded and then saw Deborah approaching.Brodie noticed someone a
