Rita gripped the railing and screamed at the top of her lungs. Her maddening cries displeased several wardmates. It was midnight, and Rita disturbed their rest.One of the ladies in a patient gown sprung into action. She got off her bed and sprinted toward Rita. Then she grabbed her hair and shoved her head onto the metal railing. “Eek! Eek!” Rita’s head hit the railing and made a ruckus. The ear-piercing noise annoyed the rest of the ladies, and they took their frustrations out on Rita.People out in the corridor heard the loud commotion, but none of them did anything. They pretended not to hear it. “I’ve sent her to your hospital. Do you know what needs to be done?” Fischer glanced at Rita’s room as he said this.“Don’t worry about it. You can count on us, Mr. Fischer. We know the order comes from Mr. Cedric. We’ll look after her real well.”Fischer nodded, pulled down his hat, and left the hospital swiftly. Rita’s voice could be heard throughout the entire building. “Eek!
"Trade location."Cedric calmly uttered these two words. Just two words were enough to make Mark break into a cold sweat. It took Mark a while to recover, and only when he heard Baz shouting at him did he regain his composure. Then, Mark lifted his trembling hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead."Mr. Cedric, I'm only responsible for bringing them over. I really don't know where the specific transaction happens, and the location will keep changing. They are very cautious, as if they have learned from past experiences. I heard their previous doctor suffered, and not only that, he lost his life!"At the moment Mark finished speaking, Cedric gave him a cold look. Baz quickly grabbed Mark's hand and, in a swift motion, acted as if to break it.Mark wailed in pain, "Ah—ah—I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth, spare me, Mr. Cedric..."Cedric watched Mark beg for mercy without any emotion. His peripheral vision focused on the slightly ajar basement door. When Mark w
She wished she had openly listened, then she could have heard more clearly without so much effort. She would have been discovered either way. He indulged in a smile, gently tapping her nose with his finger. Maia held onto his fingers, looking serious and earnest as she spoke. "Although you had Baz catch a middleman, he doesn't know the internal affairs of the organization. All we know now is that the trading location is at Mount Xavier. We have no information on what drugs the organization is developing or its internal structure. Knowing just the trading location is completely useless."Then, with a delicate frown, Maia voiced her confusion. "I really can't understand. The man became a middleman for money, so what about Elena? She's not hard up for money, so why would she become a middleman?"Cedric looked at Maia, who was puzzled, and his lips curved slightly. He reached out to stroke her silky hair. "Maia, what does it feel like to be betrayed by someone close to you?" As he sp
Cedric coldly snorted, "What you see can be deceiving too." Even if you see someone with your own eyes and touch them, it does not necessarily mean that is the truth. Someone can wear a mask for so long that the mask becomes a part of them, and they can no longer take it off. He has always presented himself with that mask, and everyone sees only the mask. However, what lies behind that mask, no one knows.The death of Celia, the drugs in the suitcase, the intermediary Elena — these were all related to him. Coincidentally, Errol's wine was sold on the market under the name 'Lamenting Raven.' If the names Lamenting Raven and Roth coincide, then how does one explain this renovation document?The winery had not changed at all, but the funds used for the renovation amounted to tens of millions. Errol, as the owner of the winery, was too suspicious. What people are most likely to overlook are those they think are impossible, but often it is these people who surprise others the most."
Maia looked at Taylor and responded with a smile of her own, but her voice remained cold. "A trivial matter? This is not trivial, it's already trending on social media."Taylor, upon hearing this, smiled hypocritically. "Oh? Really? I haven't noticed. But with my popularity, trending is not a difficult task. However, regarding this matter, it's indeed a shortcoming on the part of Starlight Entertainment. I've helped your company to trend, and I also want compensation for mental distress!"Maia knew that Taylor was not an easy person, much like her husband who was an investor. They were cut from the same cloth, as the saying goes. Maia had mentally prepared herself for this."You're right. Starlight Entertainment has its shortcomings, especially in the way we shouldn't have used a diplomatic tone with you," Maia calmly stated.Upon hearing this, Taylor's expression changed, and her smile instantly stiffened."What do you mean by that?""After all, when inviting you as a judge, Starlight
"Paige, are you very close to Celia?" Maia turned her head slightly towards Paige after hearing her previous words.Feeling a bit nervous, Paige responded, "Ms. Maia, Celia and I don't interact during working hours...""Paige, I'm not accusing you of anything. Just answer honestly."Nodding, Paige replied truthfully, "Celia and I know each other. It was when she first joined the company. Since we are from the same hometown, we became friendly. At that time, I had just returned to work after giving birth to my child, and there were significant changes in my mindset. "Due to Celia's family situation, she treated me like a sister. She shared a lot with me. Once, Celia came to my house for dinner, and we talked about Taylor and her husband, Jackson Emery.""What was the situation?" Maia asked again."Celia's parents abandoned her, showing no concern for her. They left her at an orphanage, never acknowledging her as their daughter. Celia was discovered by a talent scout while she was
“There’s nothing much to say about Celia, really. She grew up in an orphanage and she was the prettiest girl in high school. The talent scouts saw her and sent her to my company. It just so happened that my husband is one of the shareholders. “I took pity on her and looked after her. Little did I know the whore would seduce my husband on several occasions. She had him in the palm of her hand! Heh heh. I guess she did everything necessary to shoot herself to fame.” The disdain in her tone was unmistakable when she spoke about Celia.“To stop her from sleeping with my husband, I rented one of my houses to her. I bought the house across the hallway and installing a smart doorbell there. This way, my husband wouldn’t dare meet her there, and I’d be able to monitor if the whore goes back home on time. “She didn’t know the house belonged to me. So, she was happy to live there too. Hahaha. Oh. That reminds me of something. Her stuff is still in the house. I own too many properties, so
Maia surmised that taking this book into the film set was easier than her diary. The others would simply assume it was just an ordinary book. No one could imagine it’d contain the details of Celia’s life. Perhaps she could find some clues in this book from Celia’s handwriting. Her lips curled into a smile, “I found a clue.”“Huh? You just said we were too late a minute ago. How did you find a clue by picking up a random book?”Buck followed after her, feeling even more perplexed. Maia smiled at him, held the book tightly, and left the apartment. Little did she know that someone was watching her every move.…In a high-end residence, a lady received first-hand news about Maia’s actions. She sat on a luxury leather couch and chuckled, “Did Maia go to Celia’s apartment?”“Yes, Ms. Lauren.” Her butler, Jimmy, answered. “Heh. She’s a smart one.”Jimmy nodded and said, “With her sharp wit, it wouldn’t be long before she starts to suspect her own brother. Should we give Mr. Errol a
