The two policemen who followed quickly covered their faces with their hands when they saw Elva’s half-naked outfit. Gosh! She was sleeping in a coffin in this outfit! One of them asked weakly, “Miss Gold, do you sleepwalk?”
“Sleepwalk? Not at all! Can’t you tell me that I was tricked here?”
The policeman’s words pissed Elva off. She had been set up by Hazel. How could she be sleepwalking?
“I indeed couldn’t tell…” The policeman nodded honestly.
Tricked into the coffin and slept there? That didn’t make sense.
“Bullshit logic!”
Elva was so angry that she cursed and pointed at her assistant, “Come and be my witness. Tell them what happened.”
“Let’s go back first. Drink some tea.”
The assistant was very embarrassed. She pointed at Elva’s sexy dress, then took off her coat and draped it over Elva. Elva should take a hot bath and have a rest before everything else.
On the way back, Elva suddenly woke up. She turned to her assistant and asked, “What happened? Why are the police here?”
She thought it was because she disappeared last night, so the assistant called the police.
“It wasn’t me; it was Leonel.”
The assistant had a bitter expression on her face. She felt complicated. She couldn’t tell Elva that she was rejected by Leonel last night.
“Leonel is not interested in me at all. I suspect that he is into men.”
Elva’s assistant described Leonel as gay.
“Is it because you are not good-looking enough?”
Elva was very suspicious that if it was she, things would be different.
The assistant curled her lips. It was dark. If the lights were not turned on, who could see her face? It was fine as long as it was a woman. Moreover, her chest was bigger than Elva’s.
“If Leonel likes men, why would he even call the police?”
Elva narrowed her eyes. There was no need to worry about the police. Wendy would handle everything.
“To cover up the fact that he is gay.”
The assistant suddenly felt that she was telling the truth.
Maybe Leonel enjoyed being harassed by the male zombie. He acted like the victim and made a big fuss just to cover up his guilt.
After a short break, the police gathered everyone on the program team together and began to ask questions.
Nevil was embarrassed. Someone leaked the news on Weibo. Now, large numbers of reporters were on their way to Gikalle Village. Nevil felt a pain in the neck.
“Officer, this is all a misunderstanding! No one here called the police?”
Nevil smiled mischievously and asked for a compromise. It was fine to hype it up appropriately, but it would be troublesome if the competition took advantage of the loophole.
“This is not a misunderstanding. Even if the police don’t come, I will call the police.”
Elva thought of a good way to put all the blame on Hazel.
Early in the morning, the rain stopped. It was even colder after the rain. Hazel was wearing a warm coat, dozing off. She was not interested in Elva’s words at all.
“What are you doing?”
Nevil’s head was about to explode.
“I slept in a coffin last night.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
“Why?”
Nevil was anxious and shouted, “The coffin should be in the cemetery. No wonder no one responded when I knocked on your door last night.”
“It was Hazel who framed me.”
Elva suddenly looked aggressive. She pointed at Hazel as if she wanted to tear her apart.
Framed by Hazel and slept in the coffin? People didn’t understand.
Hazel yawned and said with sleepy eyes, “Elva, are you awake? Do you have any evidence? I can sue you for slander?”
Hazel never looked weak in the team. The corners of her lips curled up as she said, “Everyone knows that we’re at odds. Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Don’t you know whether you’ve done it or not?”
Elva’s face was pale after staying in the coffin for a night. She sneezed and her face turned red. “Where were you last night?”
“In my room. I’m scared. I only fell asleep at dawn.”
Hazel spoke very calmly. On the contrary, Elva was even more suspicious. She had seen Hazel’s back yesterday. Based on the familiarity she had for so many years, she was pretty much sure it was Hazel.
After waking up in the morning, she found her mobile phone in the woods. Looking at the battery, no one should have touched it. There was a screen lock. It wasn’t her birthday or phone number. Hazel shouldn’t be able to unlock it.
“What do you mean you are framed?”
Nevil tried his best to divert the topic to Elva sleeping in the coffin. This had the potential to become a trending topic.
“In the middle of the night yesterday, I was in front of the window and saw Hazel alone…”
“I was wondering why she went out at such late hours. It’s not safe in the village.” Elva looked down and pondered.
After saying this, Elva also felt that she was acting too much. So she added, “I have a conflict with her, but I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
Those were the most hypocritical words of this century.
Hazel lowered her head, playing with her phone. She took advantage of the signal and quickly told Baron that she was safe.
“And then?”
Nevil guided Elva patiently and arranged for the cameraman to record this part.
“Then, I saw her walk into the grove and the cemetery, at this time…”
Elva described the scene at that time with lingering fear. After being scared unconscious, she should be lying beside a big tree. Why would she sleep in a coffin?
The police and assistant could prove that when they arrived, Elva did sit up from the coffin. At that time, the policemen were freaked out. They thought that she was a ghost.
“Mr. Grossman, what do you mean by that? Did Elva mean that I lured her over?”
Hazel blinked in confusion and said that she had never left the room last night and that Nevil and the two staff members could prove that.
“Well…”
Nevil was in a dilemma. He had indeed gone to persuade Hazel. He didn’t want to offend either side.
“Goodness, is Elva possessed by some ghost?”
Aliyah shook and asked the program team to leave this damn place immediately. She wanted to quit the reality show.
“I also want to quit.”
Bob was very clear that last night was not a coincidence. It should be that Elva failed to prank Hazel but was teased instead. His mood was very complicated now. If it was before, Hazel would have secretly shed tears. Now that she had changed, she did not need his protection. He felt useless.
The reporters that had rushed over captured the quarrel and posted it on the Internet. Almost everyone sided with Elva and criticized Hazel, a newcomer, who wanted to succeed by stepping on her good friend and thought that she was despicable.
Elva’s fans went on protest on the street, pulling up demanded to kick Hazel, this vicious woman, out of showbiz!
