The director of the medical department, Alan, was sweating profusely. Without hesitation, he ordered the Remington family members to move. "You all sit in the back!""In the back?" William protested. "But I’m supposed to go on stage to receive an award!"Garrett's gaze turned even colder as he looked at Michael. "You did a great job arranging this, Michael."Michael’s face turned pale. Abandoning all pretense, he grabbed William by the arm. "You? Who do you think you are? That award belongs to Dr. Cromwell!"William stood in shock.Even Daniel knew that saying anything now would be digging their own grave. He simply forced a smile at Garrett, hoping to smooth things over.The entire Remington family, who had been seated in the front row, was now pushed into a remote corner.William, however, was publicly expelled from the hall.Staring at Michael, he asked in disbelief, "But, Uncle, didn’t you say I would be the one on stage?""Don't call me Uncle!" Michael snapped, shaking him off.W
Without the backing of the Crawford family, Garrett would be totally lost in LA. He wouldn't even be able to take a single step, let alone talk about running the place. Mia felt a sense of satisfaction. She couldn't tell whether that person was lucky or unlucky—always befriending people who were doomed to fail. It was like they had a knack for picking the wrong allies."Brother William, don't worry," Mia said confidently, her voice steady and reassuring. "With the Remington family's long-standing reputation, there's no need to cling to a short-sighted leader."William was startled by her words and quickly covered his phone. "Mia, you're really bold," he said, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and admiration."What's there to be afraid of?" Mia laughed, her eyes sparkling with confidence. "Brother William, you should know that I've made my way into the elite circles of New York. People rise, and people fall. It's just the way things are." She paused for a moment, her eyes gleamin
Her microphone picked up every word, making them clearly audible throughout the conference hall.Everyone present was deeply moved, especially the parents who had lost their children.Amelia wasn’t used to handling such emotional gratitude, so she simply patted Zoey on the shoulder gently and spoke softly, "Keep going. If you ever need anything, just call me."Only those who had lost children understood what this case truly meant.The young girl standing in the center of the stage, despite wearing a mask, radiated an unshakable sense of hope.There were still children missing, but now, parents believed that one day, they would all come home.The trial against the human traffickers was severe.With the case in the public eye, no one dared to shield the perpetrators.In River County, severe sentences were handed down, bringing immense satisfaction to the public.The final part of the event was the award ceremony.As one of the visiting dignitaries, Luke, along with two other officials,
Amelia watched the well-dressed figure walk away, the corners of her lips curling upward.She had suspected that someone in a high position had been operating in the shadows regarding the An County case.After all, falsifying birth certificates and DNA records would be nearly impossible without collusion from certain departments.Yet, every investigation turned up "normal" results, making it incredibly difficult for parents to verify information when searching for their children.Whenever they tried to dig deeper, the trail would go cold.The Crawford family from New York?So, they had come knocking on her door themselves?Holding the trophy in her hands, Amelia's eyes darkened.To Luke, she was just an ignorant commoner who didn’t know her place.The Crawford family had spent so long at the top that they saw ordinary people’s lives as nothing more than trivial matters, easily decided with a single word.So, he never considered Amelia a real threat to the Crawford family.Luke would n
With every word Amelia spoke, Daniel’s face grew darker.She hadn't outright stated that she was referring to the Remington family, but her words made it just as clear as if she had called them out by name.Everyone around them immediately understood what was going on.Their gazes bore down on Daniel like a tidal wave.So, this was how the Milton family’s so-called "fake daughter" played the game.In just a few sentences, she had utterly destroyed the Remington family's reputation.Daniel had assumed she was easy to manipulate, convinced that she still had lingering feelings for William.After all, William often claimed she was still clinging to him, unwilling to let go.He had thought her dramatic display at the estate had just been an act.That’s why he had made a calculated move, hoping to showcase the "close ties" between the Remington family and Steven’s protégé.He never expected that this girl would show them absolutely no mercy!Amelia’s voice remained indifferent."Mr. Reming
The Remington family found her words unbearable but dared not refute them, ultimately fleeing in disgrace.Back when they had insisted on annulling the engagement, they had employed many underhanded tactics.After meticulously selecting a suitable match, they had chosen Mia, believing that only a well-educated and wealthy true heiress was worthy of their family.Their engagement with the Milton family had always been about strategic alliances for family growth.Who would have thought that the so-called "fake heiress" would turn out to have such an extraordinary background?How could anyone in the Remington family feel at ease now? They were practically seething with frustration!Still oblivious to the gravity of the situation, William approached his uncles with a clueless grin."Uncle, Fourth Uncle, why do you both look so grim?""You dare ask? This is all your doing!" The eldest Remington brother smacked his chest, gritting his teeth. "I have never been so humiliated in my entire lif
Inside a private dining room.A simple spread of LA cuisine.Steven had always led a frugal life, never picky about food, clothing, or shelter, as long as things were clean.Yet, his aura was undeniable.Just by sitting there, he exuded an intimidating presence.Even his chauffeur and bodyguards dared not approach.The atmosphere remained tense—until Amelia entered, instantly breaking the ice.Steven smiled warmly at her but soon furrowed his brows."You’ve lost weight.""Garrett, go tell the waiter to add a braised pork knuckle," he ordered.Only someone like Steven could casually boss around the secretary of the municipal government.It was no mere rumor that people feared him.Even now, Garrett always remained on high alert in his presence.Meanwhile, Amelia was as relaxed as any junior in the family."That’s too greasy," she countered. "Your blood pressure is high—order something else.""Listen to your junior sister," Steven relented, signaling for her to sit beside him. His eyes
Steven’s tone carried a rare trace of delight. “You’re going to New York too?”“Yes,” Amelia replied. “I hadn’t had the chance to tell you yet—I’ve found my biological parents, and they’re from New York.” She poured him another cup of tea. “I wanted to introduce them to you once I got there. Also, Harmony Clinic is planning to open a chain in New York.”Hearing this, Steven’s smile deepened. “Good, that’s a great idea. Your model can genuinely help those who struggle with access to medical care.”“It was my grandmother’s wish,” Amelia said modestly, not taking credit for it.Garrett was increasingly impressed with his junior sister. “That means we’ll all be in New York together soon!”Amelia caught the implication in his words. “Senior Brother, you’re heading back to New York too?”“Not immediately, but soon,” Garrett replied with a light chuckle, making no effort to hide it from his junior sister. “Originally, the Rodriguez family and Master had planned for me to leave LA within thre
After saying this, Morgan took the lead and went upstairs.The others followed in succession.Susanna, from start to finish, dared not look toward the delivery room. Her face was pale, as if she might collapse at any moment.Downstairs, only the Cromwell siblings remained.Amelia’s eyes settled on Susanna's shoulders, her brow furrowing.The connection ran too deep. Simply relying on exorcism might not be enough.She wasn’t sure if the production team had noticed that the storyline was no longer following the original script.The changes were subtle; the director overseeing the filming hadn’t paid much attention.Besides, for a successful variety show, unexpected twists are what make it more captivating.Amelia glanced at the camera, confirming that the equipment was still functioning properly.She couldn’t promote superstitions on national television.Any supernatural phenomena would surely draw too much attention.Amelia pulled her gaze back and refocused on the far end of the corri
It happened in an instant!Morgan was fuming with rage. "What did you say?!"Amelia spoke slowly, her tone casual but sharp: "There’s still a camera here. Keep your image intact, Big Star Morgan."Morgan’s face twisted with fury, his features contorting in anger.Killian stepped forward. "Do you even understand basic manners? Is this how a 'study slacker' behaves?"Amelia’s eyes darkened, her voice low: "As a public figure, your job is to set an example and guide your fans with the right values. But what are you doing? Inciting your fans to attack others online?""Maybe you should spend more time polishing your acting skills—those 'eye-searing' performances of yours.""You’re good at pushing others down, but when it comes to being on screen, your acting is just awful.""Your fans might blindly praise you, but do you believe it?"Amelia’s words were calm, almost as if she was just stating facts. "You're so plain-looking, yet you got the lead role as soon as you debuted. Must have some
To maintain the authenticity of the show, the accompanying PDs withdrew from the scene.There were cameras in every corner of the hospital, so they couldn’t escape observation.The hospital wasn’t big—just two floors—but the corridors were deep and dark.With so many people around earlier, it hadn’t felt eerie. But now that the PDs were gone, the cold, abandoned air rushed in, making the atmosphere tense.It was clear that, apart from Amelia, the other girls were nervous.Especially Susanna, who instinctively touched her stomach as she looked toward the delivery room.Viewers at home were confused:"Why is LuLu touching her stomach?"Suddenly, the sign above the delivery room door tilted and fell with a loud crash.The noise shocked everyone!Morgan, too, jolted, but he also realized this was his chance to act."This hospital looks old, so things may fall off the walls. Everyone be careful; we don’t need to go there," he said, walking ahead with apparent concern. "Where there are ligh
Sebastian’s sudden comment left the director and the production team completely stunned.Not to mention the live viewers:"What does that mean???""I’m dying laughing! Kina, what are you doing?"Other guests also turned to look in their direction.Just when everyone thought his words were out of character for him, Amelia actually found it fitting. This was exactly the kind of Cromwell the sixth her grandfather always described."Brother, we can check the hint now," Amelia said, her tone action-oriented. She had a straightforward approach: finish the recording quickly, resolve the tension, and move on.The female star beside her would not survive the night if things continued this way.Of course, Amelia had no intention of acknowledging any familial ties in front of the public. She’d discuss it with Sixth Brother later, after everything was settled.To her surprise, Sebastian furrowed his brow. "You call me 'bro' so naturally. I already have a little sister, so change your way of addre
He absolutely could NOT lose face!The more someone craves screen time, the deeper their thoughts run.Compared to him, Morgan and Killian’s performances were relatively bland.“Are you all sure about your team members?”The director’s voice rang out again.This time, in addition to the celebrity guests, all five passersby answered in unison, “Yes.”As the words fell, the curtains blocking the passersby were drawn away.Amelia lifted her eyelids, revealing her beautiful face, but her expression was always casual and nonchalant.She could hear the celebrities’ discussions.And she had already seen the passersby.She had entered because she felt the overwhelming resentment swirling overhead.If the resentment continued to fester, it would turn into a massive disaster.She hadn’t expected that there would be tasks involved as well.When the passersby from number 1 to 5 appeared on camera, not only did the audience feel stunned, but even the celebrities on set paused.Because Amelia’s app
The third passerby was a middle-aged man with glasses, looking quite ordinary in terms of appearance and height, but his experience stood out. According to the profile, he was a surgeon.[Right now, 2nd and 3rd passersby are the best choices!]Next, the profile of the fourth passerby appeared—Carrie, majoring in media.But the key part was the extra line: “If Kina picks me, I can help you win!”Her bold statement immediately drew the attention of Sebastian.Killian commented with subtle sarcasm, "Sebastian’s fans are really enthusiastic. Most people can’t even make it to the show’s recording."With these words, everyone started to feel like the production team was favoring Sebastian.The trolls in the chat started to rise:"An idol with no academic qualifications should stay away from variety shows. It's already unfair, but soon enough, they’ll expose their low IQ. That’s going to be fun!"The tension was quickly building.Then the fifth passerby’s profile popped up, and it was like t
"Mutual selection of passerby! It’s finally here!"The passersby selected for the show were randomly chosen by the system, but the production team would still screen them carefully.After all, Ultimate Survival had complex storylines for each location, often based on real events but modified for the show. Accurately recreating these stories was difficult and required some specialized knowledge.This time, the filming location was the abandoned children’s hospital.The team would definitely need medical professionals in the mix.The live chat exploded with guesses about who the passersby would be."Teachers, there are five passersby in front of you. Only through mutual selection can you pair up successfully. On the big screen, you’ll see their profiles. Two of them are medical professionals, while the other three have different specialties. You can choose based on your experience and preferences."The director’s voice echoed as the guests’ expressions varied.Especially for Morgan, who
In the show, each celebrity was assigned a different position.They all wore blindfolds, and only upon arriving at the location would they remove them one by one.The selected passersby, however, were brought in by the staff and had the chance to see the full view of the venue.Carrie stood before the scene, her eyes shaking wildly.As Mia had said, the location for this episode was indeed an abandoned children’s hospital!Although she was from New York, she had never known about such a hospital in the nearby suburbs!The hospital looked worn down, suggesting it had been abandoned for years, with grass growing all around the outside.The show was filmed in real locations, and the production team had spent a lot of money to recreate the layout from the time.But the exterior hadn’t been renovated, so it looked especially aged.Among the celebrity guests, actress Vivienne was the first to arrive. She took off her blindfold and joked, "Is the production team trying to get new guests to q
With a soft click, Amelia took off her helmet and noticed the cameras overhead. She raised an eyebrow.Elijah hadn’t mentioned that there was a filming crew nearby.He was still excited on the other side of the wall.Amelia, considering whether to ask the staff for more information, noticed the camera’s focus.In the shot, the director and the viewers could see the girl with long legs leaning on her motorcycle, one hand on the handlebar, the other typing a message.It seemed she hadn’t received a reply.Her slender, graceful fingers tapped the handlebar in slow rhythm, and her cool demeanor was simply mesmerizing.The camera panned over, and it was impossible to look away.Her face was flawless, ethereal yet not overly seductive, with deep eyes and a beauty mark just below her eye.When she looked up, the comments exploded."One minute, I need to know everything about this girl!""Which agency is this new girl from? I’ve never seen her before!""I just searched her up, and nothing cam
