Micaela didn’t want to let any of them get away either, but the rules of the game were like that.
She observed her surroundings, although it was a hospital, but after all it had not yet been officially opened, so the air was clear and there was no pungent smell of sterile water. Then he asked suddenly:
-Can I go back to my own room in the villa?
The discomfort was broken and Alba went to ask the doctor, who came over and after a careful examination and discovered that Micaela was only a little weak and had no other discomfort, agreed to Micaela’s request.
They then immediately returned to the villa.
At the villa gate, seeing Valery’s assistant and the make-up artist dragging their suitcases and preparing to leave the villa, a few security guards suddenly approached and surrounded them, saying in harsh tones:
-No one is allowed to leave until the person is found!
Alba and Olivia breathed a sigh of relief. They could not leave in peace until the killer was caught.
Valery’s assistant and the make-up artist were instantly annoyed, were they being treated as suspects?
Everyone ignored the discussion and went straight in.
Eric went to find the person responsible for this accident, Alba and Olivia accompanied Micaela upstairs.
Micaela lay back down, although the pain in her stomach was no longer there, perhaps the pain was too strong before, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
Alba covered Micaela with the blanket and looked at her still somewhat pale face, she said:
-Micaela, you guessed it, didn’t you?
-I guessed it too! -It was definitely Adriana who instructed Eliana did that! Her reaction was so perverse -Olivia also said.
-Adriana is so hateful! -Alba said angrily.
-But the question is, we all went through strict security checks, and one of the models couldn’t even carry sleeping pills. So how did Adriana get the pills in, and when did Eliana do it? We had gone for a morning run and returned together that morning, she hadn’t even touched Micaela’s breakfast! -Olivia expressed her disbelief.
Alba was about to speak when there was a knock at the door.
Olivia went to open the door and it was Eric.
He walks in and announces:
-We’ve found a clue! The drug was put in the milk, because it just fuses with the milk so it can’t be detected. The person in charge is already examining for surveillance and anyone who has been near the milk can be identified.
-Mr. Eric.
Micaela called softly.
Eric immediately stood in front of the bed.
-You must know very well that this has to do with Eliana, right? -Micaela said.
-I think you’ve all seen it, she was behaving strangely, and in the morning, she was the only one who touched that glass of milk of yours? -Eric admitted.
-Will this be reported today and will it affect Brillantella’s fame?
Micaela stated what Eric was concerned about.
-Of course. The moment you fell was caught on tape and couldn’t be cut. The original plan was for this street shoot to end and immediately be a one-on-one interview, but now a bunch of reporters came out and the interview was put on hold for this one.
-It’s okay to postpone the interview for a bit! -said Alba.
-About this, the director’s side is still discussing. Now, the size of the impact on Brillantella, depends on what Eliana says, if she is willing to confess that she was given orders, it is fine, but if she says she did it all herself, it is problematic -Eric nodded.
As they were talking, the staff approached and knocked on the door.
Eric opened the door and it said directly:
-The culprit has been caught, you can come down and see.
Micaela rushed to get up, but was stopped by Alba:
-Micaela, have a good rest, in case you have to give an interview this afternoon, I’m going to see her!
Micaela obliged and obediently went to bed.
They closed the door and went out.
The soundproofing was so good that no movement could be heard downstairs, and Micaela fell asleep in a daze. In a blur, she dreamed of Carlos, who held her tightly and his voice lingered in her ears:
-Little girl, do you want me to worry about you? You promised me you would take care of yourself!
Micaela hugged him back tightly, and just wanted to tell him that she missed him a lot….
-Micaela is sleeping soundly, don’t disturb her. Let’s go first…
“No, don’t go, I haven’t talked to you yet.”
Micaela opened her eyes with a start and realized that what had just happened was just a dream and that the person talking was Alba.
Seeing that she was awake, the three of them came together again.
-After two hours of sleep, are you feeling better? -Alba asked with concern as she sat on the edge of the bed.
“I slept for two hours?”
“It seems like it was only two minutes when I dreamt about Carlos…”
Micaela immediately thought of them going downstairs and hurried to sit up, asking:
-How did it go, did Eliana name Adriana?
Eric sighed and said:
-She took the blame for everything, without naming anyone. She said she only hurt you because she was jealous of you. She was an A-list model who had signed with Brillantella for three years and had waited three years for a chance to get into the contest, while you, a newcomer, were able to get in and had a very smooth process. You have the feeling that there will only be one model left on this stage. With you, there definitely won’t be her.
Micaela was surprised and after a long while asked:
-And how do you explain the drugs?
-She said she had been planning it for a long time. She had brought the poison with her when she had been promoted to twenty-five. She’d hidden it in the public toilet outside, and only went to get it out after she’d moved in this time,” said Alba.
It was a little hard for Micaela to believe:
-Although she and I don’t know each other very well, I can tell she’s not an unscrupulous person. She’s clearly hiding the main killer!
Eric shook his head:
-But we just watched the surveillance. Everything she said was clearly captured, from the hiding of the drugs, to the taking of the drugs, to the poisoning in the morning.
That image that she spilled the milk in the morning flashed through his mind of Micaela?
-It was clearly captured on video, that she dropped the little pills into her glass of milk, moving so fast we didn’t notice.
Micaela sighed, still unwilling to believe it, thinking that she must have been instructed by Adriana.
It was quite possible that she had successfully poisoned her if it had been the same person she had shot and attacked that time.
Then Micaela asked:
-So, where is Eliana?
-She is already under control,” answered Alba.
Micaela looked complicated. At this moment, she wished Carlos was around to test her. But he, who never did anything but talk, would take care of things right away before telling her.
-Besides, Micaela, we’ve decided that we’re going to let Olivia stay.
