The next morning, reporters surrounded the studio. Since Erin's news made it to the top of the trending topics, all major websites sent reporters overnight to follow the developments of the case closely. The local authorities felt the pressure from public opinion and couldn't afford to slack off with so many media outlets watching.At 8 am, five police cars entered the studio. It was reported that the suspect had turned himself in, confessing to the crime and the sequence of events. When Erin received this news, she happened to be in the hotel, and Roman had informed her about it over the phone. He mentioned that the culprit was either a local resident of Fleuverton or a supporting actor on the set. The investigators had found the costumes and animal masks worn by the suspect in his rented house. Everything matched the description provided by Erin.The case was quickly solved, disappointing many media outlets that had come to Fleuverton thinking they could get a sensational story.
Megan's words made Percival sneer. "Mind your own business. You have no right to interfere in other people's affairs."He turned and walked away, leaving Megan standing on her spot. Her hatred toward Erin increased right that instant. She continued to stare at Erin's disappearing figure and made no move to leave.May glanced at her and advised, "Don't be angry, Megan. That's just how my cousin is. Don't stoop to her level. Although she's my cousin, I have to admit, she's really promiscuous. Any man can have her! I even suspect that her ex-husband divorced her because of her relationship with Chandler—"This statement immediately caught Megan's full attention. She hurriedly asked, "Who?"May shrugged. "Chandler Frost, the president of Frost Corporation, the Azores tycoon, and the eldest heir of the Frost family. Haven't you heard of him, Megan?"Megan rolled her eyes. "Of course, I've heard of him! Who hasn't heard of Chandler Frost? Are you insulting me?""I'm sorry, Megan. I did
It was Percival again!Erin glanced at the warning note in her hand and clenched it tightly. One of the suspects, Percival, had just taken the initiative to come and practice a scene with her.She called out toward the door, "Wait a moment. I need to change my clothes.""It's okay. Take your time," Percival said politely from outside the door.Erin immediately walked into the dressing room, where there was a separate restroom. She threw the note into the toilet and flushed it, watching as the paper went down the toilet. Afterward, she returned to the makeup room and checked herself in the mirror. Once she confirmed that her makeup was fine, she walked over and opened the door.At that moment, Percival was standing at the door with his back facing her, holding a script in his hand. When he heard the door opening, he turned around. He was dressed in a light blue costume with intricate patterns, and his makeup was exquisite. He looked exactly like a young prince.In the movie, he po
Erin's accusation made Percival freeze on the spot. "What did you say?""I'm saying that you were the one who attacked me!"A flicker of panic flashed across Percival's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said, "Erin, the script doesn't have the line you just said. You were supposed to use a hidden weapon to injure me and then escape—"Kicking him away, Erin quickly got up. She stared into his eyes and said, "Stop pretending, Percival! I'm certain the man from that day was you! Even though I didn't see your face clearly at that time, your current expression and the knots on the rope have exposed you!"A trace of malevolence appeared in his eyes as he said coldly, "Are you delusional? Stop making things up! I agreed to help you with the scene out of kindness, and you come up with this nonsense to slander me!"Erin retorted loudly, "I'm going to the police! Besides, the suspect who took the blame has already recanted! I believe the investigators will be interested in the new e
Since the day Erin and Holly had both had a falling out in the bamboo forest, Holly had been ignoring her. Even when Erin was all over the news, Holly didn't reach out to her.Holly's concerned voice sounded from the phone. "Are you okay?"Erin chuckled and replied, "Are you asking about the incident where I was almost assaulted?""Erin, this is not something to laugh about! You have no idea how scared I was when I saw the news! My phone was off, so I didn't see the news. I spent a whole day watching movies at home. It wasn't until my other friends asked me about you that I found out what happened!" Holly said somberly, clearly blaming herself.After listening to her, Erin's eyes turned red. She thought Holly was going to terminate their friendship, but it turned out she was just hiding at home."Thank you for contacting me, Holly. I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me anymore," Erin sighed helplessly.At that moment, Holly was at her own home, sitting with her legs crossed o
Upon hearing Simon's words, Roman calmly said, "Sometimes, what the naked eye sees may not necessarily be the truth.""Heh. I see that Erin is enjoying it quite a bit. And she insists she has nothing to do with Matthew. Does she really think I'm a fool?" Simon felt slight displeasure in his heart. He detested women who said one thing but did the other.Ever since being betrayed by Megan, his impression of women had taken a drastic plummet. Roman wanted to say something to defend Erin, but he'd just witnessed her embracing and kissing Matthew. How could that be explained? Did she betray Chandler? Or did some conflict arise between her and Chandler?Suddenly, the wooden door was opened, and Erin stormed out with a slightly flushed face and an angry expression. As soon as she came out, she saw Roman's back and Simon on the stairs. She guessed they'd probably witnessed the scene earlier.Thinking of that, she felt even more awkward and embarrassed.Roman turned to look at her. He as
Simon took Erin to the underground parking lot of the hotel. His friend Luther had temporarily lent him a black Jeep as a means of transportation in Fleuverton. Shortly after they got in the car, Simon received a call from his father, Andrew.He frowned slightly. If Andrew was calling at such a late hour, it must be something urgent or important. Without much thought, he answered the call."Are you currently in Fleuverton, Simon?" Andrew asked straightforwardly.Simon replied, "Yes, I am."Andrew commanded, "Come back as quickly as possible! Your uncle didn't inform us earlier, but your grandfather had a stroke and is currently in the intensive care unit. His condition is very critical!"Simon was shocked to find out about this, and his palms grew cold. If the situation wasn't severe, his father wouldn't have asked him to rush back overnight."Okay, I'll hurry back," he promised.As Erin sat in the passenger seat, only then did she remember Simon was also a Frost upon hearing th
Erin felt a faint sense of joy upon hearing her mother scold her aunt. She was afraid that Cherry wouldn't react to anything at all. Her being furious showed that there was still some hope for things to turn around.Seeing her sister finally saying something, Charlotte's face also lit up. "You're right! I deserve to be reprimanded harshly. I was foolish for doing something so disgraceful! But, my dear sister, please! Please don't take your own life so carelessly! If you really die, my conscience will never find peace in this lifetime."Erin frowned as she looked at the sobbing Charlotte, feeling disdainful in her heart. Charlotte seemed decent on the surface, and Erin hadn't heard of her being involved with any men during the years of her widowhood. But now, she suddenly had an affair with her brother-in-law. It instantly diminished her character and moral integrity.She couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt for her aunt, who was also an elder in her family and was supposed to
