In this critical moment, she only saw a figure swiftly passing by, and then with a bang, she did not even see how the man flew out. But when she ran to Chase, she found that the dagger did not pierce him.Her whole body went limp, and only then did she look up at the man standing beside them, a resolute and majestic figure.Elliot?How could he be here?Wasn't he taken hostage?The tremendous surprise, coupled with fear, made Sophia's eyes instantly turn red, and her voice carried a hint of a sob, "Elliot!"Elliot, still with lingering fear, hugged her to his chest. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Are you okay? Let me get a look at you."He examined her from head to toe.Sophia said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Chase is seriously injured.""Take care of him.""Yes. How did you come over?""The live broadcast was interrupted."He did not say much. His purpose in participating was to protect Sophia, and he was keeping an eye on her. When the live broadcast was interrupted, he guessed th
The police went to apprehend the criminals, and the production crew's staff arranged for a yacht. The show naturally could not continue under the circumstances.Meanwhile, another group of people approached, unaware of what had happened. Sebastian already arranged the public relations work and was in a good mood. Later, he checked Facebook and found that there was not much uproar among the netizens due to timely handling.As for the viewers who were watching the live broadcast, he could easily come up with a reason to explain the interruption in the next program. The entertainment industry never lacked fresh topics. When something came up, it would be quickly stirred up, and his matter would not be important by then. However, he had only focused on resolving the current issue."What's going on? Why are the crew members all here?" He grinned and joked, "Are you planning to admit defeat?"Mary also asked, "Yeah, it's been so long. Why are you still here?"Wylie, for once, refrai
Just as Elliot was trying to figure things out, Daniel walked in, looking anxious. "Sophia, how are you?"Sophia, who had just closed her eyes, opened them again, weakly saying, "I'm fine."Daniel scrutinized her from head to toe. "How did you get such serious injuries?"He spoke while placing his fingers on Sophia's wrist, checking her pulse.Elliot remained silent as he stared at Daniel's hands.He should not have come to this hospital.Chase was also awakened by the commotion. He alternated between looking at Daniel and Elliot, finding it oddly amusing.It seemed like Elliot viewed Daniel as a rival.Otherwise, why would Elliot wear such a scowl? He could turn fresh milk sour with that face.Daniel released Sophia's wrist and looked at her. "Look at how weak your body has become.""It's okay. I'll be fine after a few days of rest!""You always say that. When will you start taking care of your own body?"Daniel stood up and checked the IV, making sure the medication was c
Chase laughed while watching the recording. He was confident they could bring Sebastian down with this footage. He reached out to several influencers and had them share the video. Initially, fans were skeptical of Sebastian's explanations, finding them far-fetched and full of loopholes. However, with the live broadcast footage surfacing, fans turned against him. Haters reveled in their triumph, genuine fans were disappointed, and onlookers enjoyed the drama.Within an hour, the topic skyrocketed to the top of the trending list."I knew someone must have recorded it! Look, Sebastian’s fans, this is the naked truth! Still want to call me blind? Who's the blind one now? You just got slapped in the face!""I defended him, and he turned out to be a scumbag.""Exactly! He was building an image of a tender, caring guy, damn it! Couldn't even hold it in for one night!"Fans began unfollowing Sebastian in droves, causing a loss of millions of followers within a day. All collaborations
Wylie closed the door behind her and looked at him. "I am covered in injuries, and you're not even going to ask what happened?""I'm not interested!""You’re heartless." Wylie smiled. "What if I tell you this amulet is mine?"Elliot immediately said, "Impossible!"Wylie stared at him, her expression serious. "Why is it impossible? Am I not from Waybill? I also have this amulet. I know you've been looking for me, and not just you, a group of people is looking for me. I followed my biological mother to Phoenix, changed my identity, just to avoid being hunted down. Why is it impossible?"Elliot sneered.He looked at her calmly. "Fine! So, what did I say to you at that time?"Wylie fell silent for a moment. "It's been so long, I've forgotten."Elliot coldly laughed. "You can't even answer that. Tell me, where did you get this amulet, and what do you want to do with it?"Wylie gave up. "Alright! I know you're not easy to deceive, and I don't want to lie to you either. But if you wa
Wylie frowned. "I want to work at your company."Elliot replied coldly, "That’s impossible! Sophia won’t like it."Wylie thought to herself that's precisely why she wants to do it. "Then I won't tell you."Elliot's face darkened, his tone icy, "Are you threatening me?"Wylie smiled, "Threats are an option, but let me remind you, if I don't contact her in 24 hours, she will find Edmund. You know the consequences if she falls into his hands, unless you can find her within 24 hours."Elliot was so infuriated, he grabbed her throat. "Don't test me."Wylie instinctively grabbed his hand, managing to say, "It's because you're not sincerely trying to save her."Elliot threw her to the ground. "Speak, what else do you know?"Struggling to breathe, Wylie said after a while, "I also know that Edmund intends to kill her!"Elliot said nothing.Wylie laughed, "Are you so obsessed because she's Dr. Ridge’s daughter?"Elliot suspiciously stared at her. How did she know about this?"Now te
Sophia withdrew her gaze, secretly smiled, and stepped out of Elliot's embrace. "What were you doing today?"Elliot glanced at her, feeling a bit hesitant. He vaguely replied, "There were some matters to look into at work.""Don't worry, that person at the police station won't be able to escape. You can take your time to heal, and we can interrogate him later."Elliot felt somewhat sorry that she thought he went to investigate the assassination, when in reality he had gone to see Wylie. Somehow, he did not feel very comfortable about it. He did not want to lie to her, but he also could not risk telling her the truth in case she decided to step back for his sake. So, he just casually asked, "What grudge does your uncle have with your family?"However, this sentence aroused Sophia's suspicion. She looked at Elliot with surprise. "Why do you ask?""I just haven't seen him visit Grandma."Sophia snorted. "He doesn't know the meaning of family. In his eyes, it's all about
Sophia looked at Elliot. "In fact, my grandparents are very remarkable. They are academicians at the hospital. Numerous patients come from far and wide every year. The medicinal herbs they grow are directly supplied to the hospital, and their students are spread across the country. Daniel is just one of them!"Elliot smiled. "No wonder your grandmother can say such wise words. Do you remember the time when your grandmother said that we shouldn't actively hurt others, but we should also have the ability to counterattack when we're hurt? I'm thinking that your grandmother's perspective doesn't seem like that of a frail old woman lying on a sickbed. They are really impressive."Sophia proudly said, "Exactly, everyone in the Ridge family, except for Gilbert, is very remarkable."Elliot asked, "What does your second uncle do? Why haven't I seen him come to see your grandmother?"Sophia replied, "He is a special forces soldier, and my second aunt is stationed in the military all year
