"Andrew inquired about the whereabouts of the young actor, Francisca. Despite searching through dressing rooms and the rented photography studio, Francisca remained elusive. Fearing the worst, Andrew urgently instructed his assistants to conduct a separate search. Eight assistants scoured the studio and nearby areas. Concerned, Amanda suggested to Francis that they return, suspecting Francisca had completed his audition. Francis agreed, and they headed back."Following that, Amanda rushed back to the photography studio. There, she spotted Andrew frantically scanning the surroundings. Concerned, Amanda inquired, "Drew, where is Francisca?" Andrew took a deep breath, attempting to compose himself, and replied, Mandy, please try to stay calm first." Anxious and persistent, Amanda pressed, "Drew, where is Francisca? Are you hiding something from me? Tell me now!"Seeing Amanda's distress, Andrew couldn't bring himself to keep the truth hidden. He confessed, "Francisca had an audition here

After Stella ended the call, Patrick inquired, "What was Stan's response?" Stella scoffed and rebuked in a shrill tone, "What else could Stanley say? How could he take Amanda's daughter away? Amanda failed to care for her daughter, and now she's bad mouthing Stanley like crazy! What a terrible situation. It would be convenient if Amanda's daughter had been abducted. Oh, right. I heard there are people specialising in kidnapping children. Those traffickers purposefully harm children, abandon them on the streets, and force them to beg for money. Haha. It would be fitting if Amanda's darn daughter was taken by those traffickers!"Patrick frowned and remarked, "You're being malicious. Amanda is a good person, and her child is Terry's Child too . How can you curse Francisca like that?" Stella retorted, "Oh, Amanda is now good to you. What about Amelia? Amelia wouldn't be in her current state if it weren't for Amanda. And now you're still defending Amanda!"Patrick insisted, "I'm not defend

The bodyguard had to gently pry open Francisca's small hand before lifting her up.Three hours earlier, Stanley covered Francisca's mouth and nose, causing her to lose consciousness. Placing her in a trash bag, he carried her to the roof and tossed her into the cistern. Upon hitting the water, Francisca woke up, feeling the coldness around her.Thankfully, Amanda had enrolled Francisca in swimming lessons from a young age. Despite being a child with limited stamina, Francisca managed to stay afloat by clinging to a water pipe for three hours. The bodyguards eventually succeeded in rescuing her."Here she is! She's safe!" exclaimed one of the bodyguards. Amanda, propelled by a surge of energy, rushed forward like she was on steroids.Francisca, wet and pale, stared in fear, seemingly too shocked to speak. Amanda, in a mix of relief and emotion, embraced Francisca and sobbed, "Francisca, it's mommy!""Mommy?" Francisca, stunned and scared, eventually burst into tears after a moment of s

Exhausted, Stella exclaimed, "Must you involve the police in this? It's not a big deal."Amanda, taken aback and infuriated by Stella's comment, countered, "Not a big deal? You're downplaying it; Stanley committed intentional homicide!"Stella argued, "Your daughter is alive! At most, it's a prank. Why go to such lengths to send my cousin to prison?"Unwilling to prolong the argument, Amanda stated, "I don't want to continue this conversation. Let the police decide. They'll judge whether Stanley played a prank or committed a crime."Turning away, Amanda prepared to leave, dismissing Stella and Stanley. Stella, desperate, yelled, "Don't walk away from me!"Amanda firmly responded, "I won't engage with you." Realising Amanda's seriousness, Stella grew anxious.Amelia, feeling uneasy, remarked, "Intentional homicide? Stanley could face attempted murder charges even if he didn't take a life. In that case, he'll still be sentenced."Stella, dismissing the gravity of the situation, retorted

Dickson looked at her from head to toe. His hawk-like eyes seemed to be seeking credit.Amanda took a deep breath and swiftly breathed in and out.She didn’t want to say anything now–not a single word.Seeing she was still silent, Dickson arrogantly pursed his lips and confidently approached her from the opposite side of the bed."Your daughter might have been dead without me! Don't you think you should express your gratitude?" he said. Facing Amanda, Dickson remained shamelessly self-assured, as if his actions were entirely expected.Amanda took a deep look at Dickson and had mixed feelings.She was naturally grateful to him. However, after hearing what he said, the gratitude suddenly turned into ashes."Say something!" Dickson insisted, reaching out to encircle her shoulder."What are you after?" Amanda questioned, her pupils narrowing, revealing a subtle sharpness.“Judging from his expression, he probably wants me to compensate him with that again!” Amanda thought. The last bit of
