Lyla wanted to respond but was stopped by the headmaster.

He frowned, glanced around the crowd, and finally fixed his eyes on Nancy, “Miss Swift, please tell me about what’s going on.”

Nancy told him everything in detail.

With so many people present, she said it objectively and fairly. She didn’t exaggerate or lie.

The headmaster frowned after he heard all of those, “So, Regina, is it correct that, you think, Priscilla stole the original draft of your design five years ago and tonight she wanted to shake her crime and then frame you again, so you sent Lyla here to steal the draft back. Am I right?”

Regina was stunned.

After a while, she took a deep breath.

She knew that it was useless to argue at this time.

She could only say, “I admit that I did unintentionally mention it to her before. My sister took away my original draft and might use it to frame me, but I didn’t ask her to steal it back for me. I didn’t expect her to do that tonight. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have agr

    Ryan’s face darkened.Regina grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, “I didn’t...”Nancy sneered, “Good acting!”Regina was speechless.As the crowd around became more and more suspicious, she couldn’t stand it anymore.She looked at Priscilla sadly and said in a trembling voice, “I didn’t expect you to say that even now! Well, if you insist that I had set you up, I have nothing to refute. But you can’t prove what you said just by these empty words!” Regina’s admirers around couldn’t bear to see her so sad and fragile.Some of them shouted, “Yes, you didn’t explain it five years ago. Now that it has been so long after that, how can you prove you were innocent?”Nancy was stunned. She had been following Priscilla’s plan all this time, but she didn’t expect this to happen. Seeing this, she glanced at her.With a cold smile on her lips, Priscilla was about to speak.“Who said it can’t be proved?”A cold and calm voice suddenly came from outside.The voice seemed to be wrapped in t

    Priscilla didn’t say anything, she just held the hot milk and smiled.Fredrick said a few words. Looking at her smile, he didn’t complain but also smiled, “Tell me! Have you already planned it for a long time?”She nodded.His appearance today was an accident, but his proposal was similar to her original plan. She also wanted to compete with Regina again.But with Frederick’s help this time, the competition would be easier and fairer.Fredrick seemed to have thought of this as well. He smiled and said, “It seems that I shouldn’t have come here.”Priscilla hurriedly shook her head, “No, it’s good that you are here.” She didn’t speak more. Although she had already made a plan, she was not confident enough.No one knew whether the competition would be fair five years later without a fair judge.So it was good that he was here.It felt like suddenly having someone behind her and she felt more confident!Nancy walked out of the hotel and said with a smile, “Oh, I see something I shouldn’t

    Regina stood there and said proudly, “It took me a lot of effort to draw this work at that time, so I remember it very well. Priscilla, you might have seen my work and it might have a deep impression on your mind, but you can’t possibly remember it better than I do, since I was the one who originally drew it. I think you’d better give up. You can’t redraw it better than me.”Priscilla smiled, “Is that so?”“Of course. You can ask the headmaster if you’re not convinced.”“Mr. Headmaster, is that so?”The headmaster looked at Priscilla in shock, with a strange expression on his face.Regina thought she was right. Priscilla was such a fool that she had already totally forgotten the design draft five years ago. If not, she wouldn’t have come up with such a stupid idea to try to remember the details by redrawing it before the competition.Therefore, the strange expression of the headmaster must be because he had found out that the painting Priscilla drew was different from the draft five

    Anabel quickened her pace to stop Priscilla.Priscilla frowned slightly, “What’s the problem?”“Problem? How dare you to ask? Tell me! What did you do to Regina? You made her like that!”The headmaster had promised to help Priscilla announce the truth to the public, and prove her innocence.But because of Regina’s current situation, the doctor said that she couldn’t be stimulated anymore, or she would be in danger.Although Priscilla didn’t care whether Regina would be in danger, she didn’t want to be charged with murder. She could only agree to postpone the announcement.So until now, Anabel still didn’t know the truth. She only knew that the reason Regina became like this was all because of Priscilla.As soon as she looked at Priscilla, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.Priscilla just smiled faintly. She looked at Anabel as if she was looking at an idiot, “You know what? Having a stupid brain is also a kind of sickness which needs to be cured!”Anabel flew into a rage. “Did you mea

    Priscilla’s face suddenly became sharp.She was really angry. She really couldn’t figure out why this man could say such words to her!“Ryan Smith, I think you have overestimated yourself too much. To a man like you, after we broke up, I do not need to still be loyal for the rest of my life. How shameful are you to have such an illusion?”Ryan had been satirized by her several times, which made him a little restless.“Priscilla, don’t be stupid! Do you know what kind of person Fredrick is? Do you know him well? It’s just impossible for an ordinary woman like you to get engaged to Mr. Lincoln. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if the person who is engaged to him knows about your relationship?”Priscilla smiled faintly, ‘Whether I know him or not has nothing to do with you. And I think, even if we haven’t known each other for a long time, I know enough about him. At least I know his nature very well. He is upright and righteous. He is not someone who can be compared wi

    Priscilla’s face changed drastically.It was Anabel’s voice.Damn it!Hearing the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, she knew those people were about to rush in, and she quickly rushed forward and locked the door.Then she quickly took out her phone and dialed a number.“I can’t open the door.”“How come? Let me try it.”There was the sound of the door knob being twisted from outside, but since it was locked inside, it was impossible to open the door without a key outside.Anabel immediately understood.“Hmp! It seems that the b*tch knows it and thinks that she can stop us with a door. It’s impossible!”She took out her phone and made a call.“Ned, give me the key to room 8823. Cut the crap! If you dare to say one word to anyone, you won’t have to work here tomorrow.”Hearing the arrogant voice outside, Priscilla suddenly remembered that this hotel seemed to belong to the Smith family.She gritted her teeth with regret.Sh*t!Why did she, among so many restaurants, choose a

    David also knew how serious the matter was. He quickly replied, “Mr. Lincoln, we will get there in ten minutes, if we keep the fastest speed.” He had tried his best to make it ten minutes.After all, a car was not an airplane. No matter how excellent its performance was, it couldn't fly over.Fredrick understood this matter. He tightened his lips and didn’t say anything.At this moment, Harold Smith received a phone call from his subordinate and frowned, “I see. I’ll make it clear right now.”After hanging up the phone, he called his son Ryan first.“Ryan, are you at the restaurant today?”Ryan didn’t know what had happened. He asked in confusion, “Yes Dad, what’s wrong?”“Do you know who is in room 8828?”“8828?” Ryan was stunned, and then his eyes widened. “I know. What happened?”“You’d better go there and have a look. I don’t know what happened exactly, but the people there must be safe. If not, the whole Smith family will be ruined!”Ryan frowned with displeasure, “Dad? Is someon

    One of them had already got the key and opened the door.With a click, the locked door immediately opened.Almost at the moment the door opened, everyone turned around in unison.As long as they thought of what might have happened in the room, almost everyone’s face showed an expression of pity.However, Fredrick just stood there quietly without moving.Someone felt something was wrong and looked back in confusion. The next second, he widened his eyes in surprise.In the private room, four burly men were lying on the ground. Their heads were bleeding, and one of them even got one of his fingers cut out. They had passed out, and the blood penetrated the carpet, dyeing the beige carpet dark red with blood.Priscilla curled up on the sofa, with a broken bottle in her hand.She wrapped her arms around her knees. Her hair was in a mess, and her two arms were full of scars. Her fingers holding the bottle were also stained with blood, probably cut by glass.When she heard some noise, wither

    Fredrick finally could not hold back his laughter when he heard her innocent words. He said blandly, “Could you possibly carry me?”“Of course. I might look tiny, my strength is huge.”“Alright, I’ll let you carry me in the future.”“Deal.”Priscilla was brimming with happiness and she felt that it was the happiest thing in the world.To continue walking with her loved one until they grew old, even without extreme excitements and luxuries, as long as they were both healthy and could stay with each other for the rest of their life, it would be enough.They only reached the foot of the hill when it was noon. They were both starving and thirsty.There were several local-looking restaurants at the foot of the hill, they randomly picked one and entered.After having lunch, they took a taxi on their way back. Proscilla did not sleep well last night. She felt exhausted and sleepy the moment she got into the car, and she fell deeply asleep shortly.It was already evening when she woke up.She

    Priscilla glanced at the padlock and seeing his serious and neat writing, her eyelashes trembled a little.Fredrick noticed some romantic words were written on other padlocks after he finished writing the names. He then asked Priscilla for her opinion, “Shall we write something on it?”She asked him in return, “What do you think we should write?”Fredrick felt troubled. He was not the mushy type and he would only say something heart-warming and sappy when he faced her and was brimming with emotions.Yet he truly could not think of any romantic words when they were in the middle of nowhere.Since he had said that, he did not want to give up. After pondering for a while, he took the pen and wrote swiftly on the padlock.Priscilla approached him to take a look, and the words written on top were – “I want to sleep with her forever!”She was speechless.‘Are you kidding me, Mister Lincoln?’Fredrick hung the padlock on the bridge with great satisfaction.Priscilla still had a descendant’s

    “Oh, everything is sold out. We’ll have to get some fresh ingredients tomorrow morning. But I got some bread and yogurt this afternoon. You can have them if you want!”Hannah went to the refrigerator, pulled out the bread and yogurt, and presented it to them.Priscilla immediately waved her hand. “It’s okay, you’re running a business here. How could we take it for free?”Fredrick quickly pulled three notes from his wallet and handed them to her.“What are you doing? These are just bread and yogurt. We are all from the same country before, and we are now in a foreign land. I can certainly afford to treat you this.” Hannah said.Priscilla blushed and felt embarrassed.“No, we didn’t mean it that way.”“In any case, take this! There are no stores or restaurants along the way you’re taking, so this will be your final chance to get food.”“Oh, I see,” Priscilla murmured.“Yes, and don’t stay out too late at night since the tourist attractions are packed with all sorts of people.

    “There are so many lovely places! If you go east from here, you will see the Smoking Sea. It is close and offers the finest view. The sea is misty, giving it the appearance of a paradise. If you walk north, you’ll notice a mysterious temple on top of Mount Praia. Make a wish, and it will be granted. Nine out of ten visitors will visit the temple, and many couples like going on dates there as well. If you’re interested, you could go tomorrow because it’s a little late today. Climbing to the peak takes at least half a day.” Hannah explain.“Oh, I heard there’ll be a meteor shower here tomorrow, right?” Priscilla inquired, her eyes wide with curiosity. She looked up tourist attractions and weather forecasts before coming, and it’s been predicted that there would be a meteor shower tomorrow.“Meteor shower?” Hannah shook her head and frowned, “I’ve never heard of that, but you may have a look. Even without the meteor shower, there are plenty of places to visit around the mountain.”Prisc

    “I’m not always free, and don’t you want to go on vacation?” Fredrick said sternly.Priscilla’s eyes twinkled, “Of course I do.”She quickly started going over the material and deciding where she wanted to go.As she looked over the documents, she asked if there was any place he wanted to go to. Fredrick was fine with everything because he knew she would start shooting soon and he wouldn’t be able to visit her every day as he was busy, so they would be apart for a short time.So he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her now that he was free.Priscilla was fast to choose a location. After all, she had travelled to numerous locations in the last several years.She chose a few less popular spots and showed him her choice.“These are the locations I had wanted to go when I was alone. They are perfect for this season.Priscilla swiped on the tablet. These were all spots with gorgeous landscapes, ideal for a couple on vacation. He felt satisfied and chose a spot after thinking fo

    Her fans did not know what was going on, but they’ve noticed that her Twitter account had not been updated much lately.It also seemed that she had not appeared in many activities recently, let alone dramas.The president of Mika’s fans club had access to her schedule, but at this time, when she went to ask for it, the answer she got was that she had no schedule lately.Everyone was confused.Immediately afterwards, the official account of Anderson International released a statement. The gist of the statement was that Mika’s activities had been suspended for an indefinite period as she had broken her contract.As soon as this statement was posted, there was an uproar on the internet.Anderson International did not give much detail as to what she did. Some media had tried to poke around, but they could not find anything.As a result, speculation grew.As soon as the speculation started, some people got her into more trouble.As a result, all the shameful things that Mika had done in t

    “Enough!” Andrei spoke out to interrupt him. “I know that it’s not easy for you either. Things have already happened, and the damage caused cannot be undone, I don’t blame you for that, but...” He paused for a while and looked at him with a stern gaze, “You should be able to investigate something like reporting a false crime thoroughly, right!”The officer was shocked.Logically, it could not be considered as a false report as they indeed found the drugs at the scene. It was just that they still needed to find out the real owner of the drugs they had found. As he was thinking, Andrei’s voice came out again.“The drugs do not belong to Gwyneth, so they must belong to someone else. The drugs appear out of nowhere, so you must find out their source.”The officer hurriedly nodded, “Yes, please don’t worry about it, we will find out the truth.”Only then did Andrei nod in satisfaction, “So, can she go now?”“Of course. Mr. Nixon, this way.”Only then did Gwyneth leave with Andrei.As expec

    “Yes! If you still don’t believe me, you can give me a urine test and check if I have a history of drug use. If I don’t have a history of drug use, why do I bring it here? I know how important this occasion is. Isn’t it that I’m asking for trouble bringing such things in? I don’t take drugs as well! It’s obvious that someone had framed me and wants to ruin my future.”The officer thought for a moment.Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her.“So, who do you think would have framed you?”“Naturally, the one who had reported it should also be the one who had framed me!”The officer sneered. He suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, “Nonsense!”Another officer next to him also sneered, “The one who reported you was an ordinary waiter. Why did he frame you? If you want to clear yourself, you better find a better excuse first!”Gwyneth was stunned.Before she could do anything, she saw the officer waving his big hand.“Alright, don’t talk nonsense with her, bring the stuff and cuf

    “That’s right, she dares to insult you so unruly and openly now. If she gets famous one day, won’t she bully you?”“Right, you are her senior by years. She is being disrespectful to you by behaving like this.”Mika looked over at them, “Do you guys mean that you want me to deal with her?”The crowd hurriedly nodded unanimously.She sneered suddenly, “You guys think that I’m stupid? She’s now under Mr. Nixon’s protection, but you guys want me to mess around with her? Do you guys want me to completely offend him, or do you want me to be forced out of the circle?”At the moment these words came out, the women’s faces instantly changed.“Mika, we didn’t mean that.”“You guys know exactly what you mean!” Mika sneered, “I’ve been in this circle longer than you, so don’t expect to tackle me using that kind of provocation. Trying to make me a gun? You’re still a bit too young!”After saying that, she gave a heavy cold snort and turned around to leave.Priscilla and Gwyneth were pulled by Andr
