By now, he had not slept for two days and nights. Even with the top makeup artist’s work, the dark circles under his eyes were still visible.
He leaned against the wall, half-listening to Anthony’s report, pressing his fingers against his temples, utterly exhausted.
“Is Callie still not found?”
“Our people in the Ellison family are still looking, but Ahmad is missing. We don’t know if it’s related.”
Nelson opened his eyes.
Not far away, Mollie glanced at the man in the corner listening to the report, then at the sweet documentary playing on the screen, and cursed under her breath.
At this moment, Callie felt that the wedding had concluded without any unexpected events. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, along with her expectations.
… There should have been no expectations.
“Mr. Ellison, it’s about time. Whether you want to kill me or let me go, please hurry.” Callie’s gaze fell on her bloody wrist as she whispered, “It hurts too much…”
Her voice was soft but Ahmad heard it.
He frowned, took out his phone from his pocket, and was about to call someone in when the background music on the TV suddenly changed from melodious to intense. The images on the screen also underwent a dramatic transformation-
Everyone looked over.
The big screen suddenly started showing solo photos of Charlotte!
She was sitting in a cafe, drawing by the floor-to-ceiling window, and attending a banquet with Sienna and Ahmad. She looked like a perfect socialite, embodying all that is beautiful in the world!
Charlotte stood there stunned. She didn’t know who took these photos, and they were not part of her documentary!
How could this be!
The photos were shown quickly, even timed perfectly. After the socialite photos, there were pictures of her dressed provocatively, following Jaquan closely, trying to please him to the utmost-
Then there were candid shots from her university days, looking fresh-faced and youthful, followed by high school photos where she appeared as innocent as a young fruit on a tree.
The crowd began whispering among themselves. The rapid succession of photos made it clear that she had undergone plastic surgery!
The transformation was too drastic!
Charlotte stepped back in shock, dropping her cup to the ground. What was happening… how could this be!
In front of the screen, Callie stood up excitedly. Unlike Ahmad’s confusion, she was thrilled. This was the MV she had prepared in advance. It had been released; the plan had succeeded?
The media were the first to react on-site. They quickly captured the unfolding story and immediately broadcast it live online!
The photo sequence continued, tracing back to Charlotte’s photos in middle school, elementary school, and even kindergarten. Those in the know could see that her childhood photos were completely different from those of the missing Maevelyn.
After the photos, various certificates and exam records of Charlotte from childhood to the present began to play, and without exception, the name on them all read-Holly!
When this name was revealed, in stark contrast to Ahmad’s confusion, Sienna’s heart almost stopped. She realized that the truth was about to be unveiled-
The music intensified as the exam certificates finished playing, and then footage of Charlotte entering and exiting a hospital in Japan appeared, with large text stating, “Plastic Surgery Hospital.”
Tobias leaped to his feet, realizing that the plan was unfolding and becoming aware of his own role.
