The sudden news shocked Master Glenn, causing his body to tremble. His steps faltered, and he fell onto the cold chair.
His eyes turned red, gradually tinged with tears.
“Kate… almost… almost died, along with our child.”
Cursed by the Weaver family, men couldn’t live past the age of thirty. He had believed that he would leave this world on his thirtieth birthday and had thus never dared to respond to Kate’s feelings.
But then, he encountered that mysterious girl from the Miller family, who used Praying Magic to extend his life.
This incredible spell naturally came with a price. He borrowed his extended life from someone else, and Kate willingly gave him thirty years of her own lifespan.
It meant that he would live a maximum of sixty years in his entire life.
Neither he nor Kate coveted the dream of living to a hundred years old. All they wanted was to be able to accompany each other for the remaining days.
When it came to having children, Master Glenn believed that it didn’t matter whether they were boys or girls. Seeing the painful look on Kate’s face when she gave birth to Sasha, he decided that having only one child would be enough in this lifetime.
He never expected that Kate would become pregnant again!
And it was in such a dangerous situation that they discovered it.
Master Glenn, overwhelmed by self-blame, raised his hand and gave himself a slap, dejectedly saying, “Miss Lawrence, you’re right. I’m truly useless!”
Cheyenne, seeing that her slap had turned his face red, frowned and said, “Enough of your self-pity. I want to know why Kate became like this!”
Wasn’t she busy with filming recently?
In fact, Master Glenn was not entirely clear about what had happened. So it was Nylan who filled him in on the details.
“Miss Lawrence… Kate, it was because she found out that Sasha was missing that she had a confrontation with Juliana. Then Juliana attacked our Kate…”
“What did you say? How could Sasha be missing?”
Cheyenne was very fond of Sasha, treating her almost like a future daughter-in-law. Even if she and Oliver grew up and weren’t together, Sasha would still be her goddaughter.
As a godmother and a future mother-in-law, she was also very worried upon hearing the news of Sasha’s disappearance.
As Nylan answered, tears streamed down his face. “I’m not sure either. I saw Sasha playing in the dressing room while Kate was filming, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone.”
“When Kate and I returned, we found everything in a mess. Only Juliana was in the dressing room, so Kate thought it was her.”
Cheyenne had some impressions of Juliana, who was just an eye candy and regarded herself highly. It was hard to imagine her doing something as serious as kidnapping Sasha.
“If she went missing on the set, have you searched around?”
Nylan shook his head, tearfully explaining, “But Kate was covered in blood, and I was too panicked to search. We had to call 911 and bring Kate to the hospital first.”
Master Glenn had slightly more time than Nylan. He had heard about the argument between Juliana and his wife on the phone and rushed to the hospital without going to the set. He met up with Nylan there instead.
In other words, he hadn’t been to the set and had come straight to the hospital.
Iker, who had listened to the entire ordeal, had a serious expression. “This matter seems to be more complicated because there have been several cases of child disappearances recently.”
He came from Onistead to here because Gordon had requested assistance from higher authorities.
“For now, we should quickly go to the set and look for any clues. I’ll call Mr. Murillo.”
Cheyenne’s words awakened Master Glenn, who took one last look in the direction of the emergency room before entrusting Kate to her care.
“Thank you, Miss Lawrence, for looking after her. I’ll be back soon.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll have Kate transferred to a VIP ward.”
“Thank you.”
On the film set.
In the afternoon, an accident occurred involving Juliana and Kate, temporarily halting the production. All the actors went home to wait.
The director and the investors were frantic. Just as they were thinking of going to the hospital to check on Kate’s condition, Master Glenn arrived.
It was no secret that Master Glenn was behind the largest entertainment company in the country. He invested a billion dollars in just this production, with his wife as the lead actress.
Master Glenn exuded a strong presence. Even Mr. Holmes couldn’t manage to speak a complete sentence in front of him today when he came to demand answers.
“Master Glenn, you’re here.”
Master Glenn didn’t even spare him a glance and, under the protection of his bodyguards, headed straight to the scene of the accident – the dressing room!
“Mr. Holmes, what should we do now? Everyone knows that Master Glenn is notorious for doting on his wife. With Miss Zamora being beaten like that on the set, he might even want our lives.”
The one speaking was the producer, responsible for selecting suitable actors for the production. It was he who had introduced Juliana to the crew in the first place.
Mr. Holmes scratched his head in annoyance. “Who should I ask when you’re asking me? I told you before that Juliana wasn’t a good fit, but you persuaded me to give her a chance. Now, look, she’s caught up in a murder case!”
Leaving behind those complaining words, Mr. Holmes hurriedly followed Master Glenn.
They arrived at the dressing room, where everything remained as it was before everyone left. Master Glenn immediately noticed scattered lipstick, BB cream, makeup brushes, and other items on the floor.
The costumes on the hangers also lay dirty on the ground, trampled upon. There was a large puddle of blood on the floor, which had turned from bright red to dark purple over time.
Seeing this blood, Master Glenn felt even more self-blame and anger, as this blood had flowed from Kate’s body!
“Where’s Juliana?”
Upon hearing Master Glenn’s voice, Mr. Holmes trembled and stammered, “Miss Chambers also left. She must have gone back to the Chambers Residence.”
In fact, from an outsider’s perspective, Juliana couldn’t really be blamed for this. Everyone witnessed Kate pinning her against the wall and going crazy.
Later, Kate ended up being injured by Juliana.
“Fine, she harms my wife and child, and she wants to escape the consequences? She’s delusional!”
“Call the police first!”
Master Glenn picked up Kate’s phone, which had fallen to the ground, its screen shattered like a spider web. He pressed the power button, and the screen displayed two similar smiling faces – one big and one small – causing his eyes to well up.
“Kate, Sasha… It’s my fault for not protecting you.”
If he had called Kate earlier, maybe Sasha wouldn’t have gone missing, and she wouldn’t have been in trouble.
As Master Glenn knelt on the ground, silently shedding tears of immense pain, he noticed a toy watch that had fallen just beneath the wardrobe.
