Meanwhile, inside the police station, a man decked out in a tailored suit requested to see the chief. As they recognized him, his request was honored instantly.

"Welcome, sir," they showered him with respect as they brought him to the chief. The chief, upon seeing him, greeted him with courtesy. The man's appearance indicated that he was sent by a prominent figure who was not to be offended at any cost.

"Mr. Bryan, what brings you here?" Bryan was Zack Anderson's right-hand man. His presence meant Zack Anderson's shadow was also there.

Bryan's calm gaze fell on the chief. "I came regarding the present case. I have something useful." The chief quickly understood his hint and called the police officers handling the case.

The officers who interrogated Ivy broke into a cold sweat upon seeing Bryan. "Sir..."

"I am very disappointed with the police force. You all claim to bring justice yet let a criminal escape right under your nose," Bryan got straight to the point.

It turns out, she was the real one after all. And now, it seems she appeared for what exactly, they were not sure if her statement will help prove that she is not the culprit.Ivy walked forward in her black dress, her heels collided with every step, sending a creepy feeling to the one seated in a wheelchair at the opposite direction.

    "What is the producer doing here?" "Director Tim." "Are you here to publicly replace them?" "Who will you replace among the both of them?" Director Tim's face was plastered with burning fury, but it was not on par with Stephen's. Stephen felt like crashing Isabelle's head on her wheelchair - only then will he call it an assault. "Producer Stephen, are you here to publicly announce a replacement?" Stephen brushed off the reporter and walked up to Isabelle, "How are you feeling now, Isabelle?" Isabelle's mind was in turmoil; she couldn't understand what was going on. The producer's face carried many traces of emotions that couldn't be ascertained. "I'm... I'm..." She was uncertain of how to answer. Stephen replaced his gaze with a profound look that made Isabelle slightly shiver... "Producer Stephen... did I... offend you?" Stephen hissed then turned to Ivy. "Please continue." Ivy smiled in response. "We are all aware I was called for questioning. The footage the polic

    "How come the number is saved on your contact list? Give an explanation for that," one of the reporters queried.Isabelle, seeing the reporters slowly drifting from her side, began to panic. "That can't prove anything... I don't... I don't know him... I swear."The officer didn't say anything but took her phone and dialed Desmond's number. Immediately, Desmond's phone, presently in the hands of the officer, rang. The officer gave her a stern look. "How would you explain that?"The reporters were in an uproar."So she faked her attack.""Is she a normal human being?""See how far she went just to destroy another.""She is so despicable."Ivy smirked. The reporters hadn't seen what she really had for them yet; they were already criticizing her.Ethan was dumbfounded. He had made arrangements with Joan to put Desmond's number on Ivy's phone, or did she put it on Isabelle's phone instead. Did she betray them? The moment he thought of this, he received a text.*I swear I added the man's nu

    Ivy, followed by Joan, Susan, Stephen, and director Tim, left the hall. "Ivy," Stephen called her. "I'm sorry for not believing you.""You don't have to apologize, producer Stephen," Ivy replied with a slight smile."No, I have to apologize, I already decided to replace you if not for director Tim," Stephen said."Ivy, I mean Mrs. Anderson, can I talk to you? Please." A feminine voice interrupted their conversation. Ivy turned to see who it was. Seeing Isabelle's PA outside the hall, Ivy chuckled. "You left her too. You shouldn't have; now who is going to assist her."Isabelle's PA sighed; she knew Ivy was right, but she came outside to clarify some things with Ivy. "No offense, Mrs. Anderson, you are too ruthless. Why do you have to push her to the edge? You could have just refuted earlier, not when the situation has escalated to this extent.""Can you hear yourself?" Ivy spat. "You were there when she pulled my manager's hair, and you were aware when she was planning to frame me for

    Irene was done for the day of filming, so when she returned to her room, Ethan was already waiting for her. "Things slipped; it didn't go as planned." Irene stared blankly at him before sitting beside him. "If it didn't go as planned, it doesn't mean it wouldn't go as planned some other time, and that time is very close." Ethan frowned. Irene was sometimes unpredictable; he expected her to yell or for her to have a sour face, but instead, she wasn't bothered. "Is there something you aren't telling me?" "Isabelle is a very foolish person, so I didn't expect her to help me ruin Ivy." Upon hearing her, he immediately understood she must have butted in. "Ethan, you aren't smart enough. Next time, watch out for Zack Anderson; he is very unpredictable. Ivy, on the other hand, that girl is something else." Mentioning her sister's name, her face scrunched up. Her sister had changed; it wasn't a slight change, and it was annoying her more. "How did Desmond's number..." "About that

    The two women were staring deeply into each other's eyes trying to find any hidden trace of hostility masked with a facade. "Nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you," Anna said, still holding onto Ivy's hand. "Same," Ivy responded, retaining her smile. "You came too early," Director Tim interrupted their intros, "You will have to wait until the evening before you film your part." "I came early to get familiar with the rest of the cast and crew, before I begin," Anna replied. Director Tim had no time to idle around, so he went back to work with Ivy. But before then, some of the rest of the crew asked for Anna's autograph, and she willingly signed them with a friendly smile. Looking at the way certain individuals were hovering around her, it made it seem like she was the lead character, whereas Ivy appeared small before her. Some of the crew even started to gossip. "I wonder why Anna wasn't considered to be the lead character." "Yes, what's so special about the outdate

    Joan's face twitched in annoyance, "Are you trying to tell me I am invisible?" "Slightly," Edmond glacially responded. Susan and Ivy were silently watching their tussle; they found it entertaining, especially Joan's facial expression. They hadn't seen this side of her before. Joan couldn't ignore how he constantly tried to rip her off her duty. "You've been irritating me since this morning. I am her personal assistant, not you. Stick to your job." "Oh, so you are her personal assistant? Then I am her bodyguard. And I am sticking to my job." Joan turned speechless, then it occurred to her. 'Did he know the water was drugged?' Her heart thudded, 'If he knows...' then he was really sticking to his job. "Guys, you shouldn't fight over me," Ivy tried to calm the tension between them. Joan admitted defeat, "Forget what I said to you. That was mean." She retracted the bottle of water. "You can have his, I don't mind." Ivy snorted at Joan's response. "Joan, what's the big deal?"

    Zack shot out of bed and made his way to the door. Meanwhile, as Ivy watched him go, she felt a sense of trepidation. Who could be visiting her now?As Zack opened the door, he spoke in a low tone to Xavier. Ivy couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but she could tell that Zack was not happy.After a moment, Zack turned and walked back into the room, his expression grim as he locked eyes with Ivy."It's your manager."*****Meanwhile, Susan had already made herself at home in the living room, sitting on the couch, sipping a glass of water that Xavier had offered her.As Zack entered the room, Susan stood up, a bright smile plastered on her face. "Zack," she said, extending a manicured hand. "It's so good to see you."Zack's expression remained grim, and he ignored Susan's outstretched hand. "What are you doing here, Susan?" he asked bluntly.Susan's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "I came to see Ivy, of course," she said matter-of-factly. "I've been tr

    Zack and Ivy exchanged glances, wondering who it could be. But then Ivy began to have a sinking feeling in her stomach. "I can take a rough guess," she said, slumping back on the bed and mouthing, "Judy." Zack's expression hardened, and he quickly got up from the bed and strode out of the room. "Let her in," he instructed Xavier, and Xavier nodded and hastened down the stairs. Zack followed suit. Judy was allowed in shortly meanwhile Zack had already taken a seat in the living room, his expression twisted in annoyance as he locked eyes with her. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice flat, as if bored by her presence. Judy's eyes were soft and gentle, scanning the whole room, expecting to see Ivy, but there was no sign of her. "Where is she?" Judy asked, her voice slightly trembling, her eyes scanning the room again as if hoping to catch a glimpse of Ivy. Zack's expression remained impassive, his arms crossed over his chest. "She's not available to see you right now,"

    Zack's arms wrapped tightly around Ivy, holding her close as she sobbed uncontrollably. He knew a storm was raging within her. He had somewhat expected she would feel broken, but this—it was way more than he had anticipated. She wasn't just broken; she was shattered. The pain and anguish that ravaged her face was evident.Zack held her close, trying to absorb some of the pain that seemed to be tearing her apart. The truth behind her emotions seemed to be consuming her.Ivy's sobs slowly began to subside, and she pulled back from Zack, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She looked up at him, and for a moment, their eyes locked in a silent understanding."Ivy," Zack whispered, his voice barely audible. "I'm sorry about your mom. Irene told me everything."Ivy's eyes searched Zack's face for a moment before she wiped her tears. "She did?"Zack nodded and took her hands in his, his eyes locked on hers. "Whatever happened was devastating, and I'm extremely worried about you." He hesitated

    Ivy tossed and turned relentlessly in her bed, her eyes fluttering open to a scene that felt all too real. She was standing in her living room, but it wasn't the warm and cozy space she knew. It was cold and tense, with police officers looming over her dad."Mr. Steve, I'm afraid with the evidence we found, we need to take you in for questioning," one of the officers said, his voice firm but polite.Steve's face was pale with shock, his eyes wide with fear. "What evidence?" he demanded, his voice trembling.The officer hesitated, his expression unreadable. "We can't disclose that right now. But we do have enough to arrest you on suspicion of murder."Steve repeated, his voice shaking, "Murder? No... I didn't kill anyone."The officer's expression remained stern. "Steve, please turn around and put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest."Ivy watched in horror as the officers handcuffed her dad and led him away. She tried to scream, but her voice was frozen in her throat.She

    Irene stepped into her house, closing the door behind her as if trying to shut out the world. She stood still for a moment, her eyes scanning the familiar surroundings as if seeing them for the first time.Everything around felt hollow. If she knew recollection of the past would cause her this emptiness, she wouldn't have done it. Now she felt like she had traveled back to the past experiences she wanted to shut out for so long."Hey, why are you back so late? It's midnight," Dave sprang up from the couch, but then he noticed the distant look in Irene's eyes. "Irene?"Irene didn't respond. She just walked past him, her feet carrying her on autopilot to the bedroom. Dave's eyes followed her, concern etched on his face."Irene, what's wrong?" he asked, getting up from the couch to follow her.Irene stopped in front of the bedroom door, her hand on the doorknob. She turned to face Dave, her eyes empty and haunted."Nothing," she said flatly, "just tired."With that, she slammed the door

    Fifteen-year-old Ivy's feet wobbled, drained from all the running, as she pushed through the door of her home. She panted heavily, catching her breath and meeting the stunned silence in the house.It was odd; she had expected to see her mother standing in the doorway, ready to scold her for running off like that, or perhaps to be welcomed by her sister's taunts, but there was nothing.She raised her head only to find the living room empty."Mum? Irene?" she called, scanning the room, but then someone else emerged—someone she didn't expect to see."Dad? Dad!" She kicked off her shoes and enveloped him in a tight embrace. "I've been looking for you, Dad. Where were you?"Steve pulled away, his expression somber. "I, um..." he began, his gaze on Ivy's face faltering. Ivy noticed the way his voice quaked; her eyes scanned his face, and she caught his hand trembling at his side."Dad, why the face?" Ivy asked, concern etched on her face.Steve looked away without responding; his eyes seeme

    "Where could she have gone?" Zack muttered under his breath, his voice laced with frustration and fear."Xavier!" he called, massaging his temples. To be honest, he was lost on where to find Ivy."Sir." Xavier raced down the stairs, his movements hurried as he could sense something was off with his master."Was Ivy here?" Zack asked, his eyes wide with hope, but Xavier's response shattered it to pieces.He massaged his temples again, thinking just maybe... maybe she's okay, maybe she's just ignoring me, maybe she's... no, no, no, think, Zack, think... where would she go? Who would she turn to? Irene? No, she was just with Irene, and Irene said she left... left where? Left to go where? His mind was a jumbled mess, thoughts racing in every direction, none of them making sense... Ivy, where are you?Suddenly, his eyes flashed with realization. Judy! Her aunt Judy! Ivy had always been close to her aunt, and it seemed Judy was one of the few people who truly understood her, even though he
