As tears rolled down her cheeks, the beautiful woman wept silently.
Nylan blamed herself and knelt in front of her publicly, “Kate, Sasha’s disappearance is my fault. I didn’t take care of her. Please, I beg you, let go of Juliana.”
Juliana, not only a top female star in the entertainment circle but also carrying the title of the Lara family’s young master’s fiancée. If Kate actually harmed her, it would mean offending the Lara family.
Even with Master Glenn backing her, the fact remained that killing Juliana would not only ruin her years of hard work in the showbiz but also land her in jail!
Yet Kate, at the moment, couldn’t care less about the consequences. She only wanted to find her Sasha.
With eyes burning like a devil, Juliana stared at Kate, “Will you speak up? If you don’t, I’ll strangle you for real!”
“I-I don’t… know!”
Juliana was losing patience, the director was getting anxious, rushing over with the script from behind, trying to pull Kate away.
“Kate, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk this out nicely for my sake, okay?”
The director was introduced by her husband, a senior in the industry. He treated Kate well, and Kate respected him as well.
Hearing Alonzo’s words, Kate calmed down slightly and slowly released her grip.
Unexpectedly, Juliana, holding a grudge, took advantage of Kate loosening her grip and grabbed a clothes rack hung on the wall, suddenly attacking Kate.
“You bitch, you’re the reason I lost face.”
The stick landed squarely on Kate’s head, splattering blood and staining her pristine white dress with crimson.
“Ah! Murder, murder!”
The sudden twist, the blood-soaked scene, frightened everyone; even some timid actresses screamed outright.
Chaos ensued.
Before Kate could react, she felt a darkness creep in, and then she lost consciousness.
Before slipping into a coma, she softly murmured her daughter’s name.
“Sasha… Find, find… my daughter!”
“Kate!”
Nylan knelt on the ground and crawled towards the fallen figure.
The director also fainted, suffering a sudden heart attack out of shock.
Soon, the sound of an ambulance siren rang out – beep… beep…
In a single day, the director and female lead of this drama met with accidents. With the loss of these two pillars, how would the drama continue?
After snapping out of her anger, Juliana stared dumbfounded at the bloodstain on the ground.
“It’s… it’s over, sis, what should I do now?”
Her agent, being older than her, managed to stay calm. Taking a deep breath, she advised:
“Juliana, quickly call Mr. Lara. Take a break from the crew for now and stay at the Chambers family, don’t go out.”
Whether Kate lived or died, Master Glenn would surely seek revenge. Only with Mr. Lara’s intervention might there be some hope.
The Chambers family, being a prestigious literary family, could offer Juliana some shelter, and even Rex, due to their blood ties, wouldn’t stand idly by.
The upcoming battle would be a tough one!
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Cheyenne found herself in an inexplicable crisis.
The exam papers had been marked the previous day, and the results were announced in the morning. The top three were Sean, Cain, Maria.
If everything went as expected, these three would become her named disciples, whom she would lead through the internship assessment.
However, the results were only released at nine in the morning, and by ten at night, a slanderous post aimed at Cheyenne appeared out of nowhere.
She was accused of “helping students cheat,” “abusing power,” “accepting bribes,” and “corruption” as the director of Hopedale Hospital. The situation escalated, even the disciplinary department got involved.
At this moment, in an office, Cheyenne sat on a chair like a criminal, facing three people dressed in black suits – two men and a woman. The woman, whom Cheyenne was familiar with, was Jaelynn Weaver, Elsa’s aunt from the Weaver family. Jaelynn was approaching forty but looked younger due to good maintenance, appearing in her early thirties.
She had a military background, sporting a sharp short haircut, a face resembling Elsa’s by five points. Her skin, tanned from years of being outdoors, sharp eyes like knives, exuded a tough and competent woman leader vibe.
Cheyenne had only seen her once – at a congressional awards ceremony four years ago. Jaelynn, in her green military uniform, stood out at the leadership table with her shining medals, symbols of her accomplishments. Cheyenne admired this military beauty; in her eyes, a woman capable of being a soldier was admirable.
Reflecting on herself, Cheyenne acknowledged her admiration for the female general but knew that a soldier’s life was not for her. She was accustomed to a lazy lifestyle, waking up whenever she pleased. However, the female general’s gaze towards her was far from admiring. It was penetrating, disdainful, even contemptuous – the disdain of a strong towards the weak!
Cheyenne found the stare irritating, rolling her eyes publicly. “Ask your questions quickly. I’m busy and only have ten minutes; I have to go back to work.”
“Do you compensate me for the wages deducted from delaying my work?” She challenged.
The two men seemed wary of Cheyenne as her identity was extraordinary – the president’s acknowledged foster daughter, the miraculous healer who saved millions four years ago. Not to mention her lineage – granddaughter of old Mr. Edwards, daughter of the Lucas family’s head, wife of the billionaire Kelvin.
Both Cheyenne and those behind her were untouchable.
Truth be told, when the report arrived in the morning, everyone was surprised. The chief even considered quietly letting it go. But then a chief inspector, Jaelynn, arrived from above, determined to personally investigate. Faced with this member of the Weaver family, a decorated female general, they, mere underlings, had no chance to refute. They could only put on a face of distress.
They hoped General Jaelynn wouldn’t be too harsh. This way, they, as middlemen, could maintain their standing.
The office atmosphere sank to its lowest point, everyone feeling immense pressure, as if sitting on pins and needles. Someone wiped off cold sweat silently.
Was this the vibe of a big shot?
