With a loud bang, Madeleine let out a painful cry, her furrowed brow indicating her agony, and her entire body fell backwards.
Shortly after, there was an explosion at the entrance of the mansion, and a massive fire broke out, exceptionally fierce.
Giancarlo hesitated for a moment and muttered, "But why is the fire so big?"
Zoey's pupils shook, "No, that was a real gun!"
She grabbed a blanket and ran towards the mansion.
Giancarlo stood there, looking confused. He picked up the walkie-talkie and anxiously asked, "Can the staff inside please respond? What's the situation in there now? Why is the fire so big?"
He did not wait for someone to answer, and many people with fire on their bodies rushed out of the mansion.
They wailed in agony, rolling on the ground repeatedly.
People outside the mansion, upon seeing this scene, were initially startled and then began to rescue the individuals.
At that moment, the director realize
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor when a doctor hurriedly walked out and said these words.Brodie stepped forward and said, "I am Brodie, a cardiologist. Madeleine is my sister, and I could perform the surgery on her."The doctor had naturally heard of Brodie, the world-renowned expert. Whenever he intervened, the success rate of surgeries increased from fifty percent to ninety percent.The doctor nodded, "Then please let Prof. Keller personally perform the operation."Brodie nodded, "Prepare the operating room, there is no time to waste."Doctor, "Okay."Because Zoey was not seriously injured, she was transferred to a regular ward.Russell guarded her and let Troy follow Royce and Lola to wait in front of the operating room, and if there was any news, they would inform him immediately.Russell looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed. Although the doctor said there was no ma
Russell maneuvered his wheelchair to the small window by the door of the ward and saw Leanna sitting in front of the bed, muttering to herself.Leanna had already heard about the incident on set an hour later because she had been secluded, working on making the competition clothes.It was only when Toby personally came to Galaxy Studio to find her that she found out.All the way, she was regretting that if she hadn't given Zoey a day off, or if she had come to the set today, Zoey wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.Leanna wiped away her tears and held the fair hand of the girl. "Zoey, when will you wake up? You said, why are you so foolish, rushing in to save people even when it's so dangerous. But if you didn't help, it wouldn't be your character. I guess if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the ability, let alone the courage to save someone. I believe Madeleine will be fine, you have to wake up quickly, okay?"The person on the sickbed s
After hanging up the phone, Russell asked Troy to check Nathalie's recent communications and then returned to the hospital bed.He held Zoey tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.At this moment, he had no sleepiness, and his eyes gazed into the pitch-black night.Whoever hurt Zoey, he would never let him go.Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce was driving on the way to the apartment.Leanna glanced at the man gripping the steering wheel and coughed lightly, "I wanted to go back to the design room, the direction of this road is wrong."Toby remained unfazed, "It was already past twelve, are you planning to stay up all night?""The designers in the design studio were busy until around 2 am before they went to rest, it feels a bit unfair for me to sleep so early."Toby looked ahead and said softly, "So, is it unnecessary to pay them such high salaries when you become the boss and work so hard?"Leanna pursed
Toby slept lightly and instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.When Leanna rushed to the bedside, before she could say anything, she was grabbed by the man and pulled into his arms.The man flipped over and pinned down Leanna."Considering all night long, in the end, couldn't help but burst out?"Leanna's mouth twitched, "I didn't come to pounce on you..."The remaining words were all blocked by the man, and Leanna made a whimpering sound from her mouth, continuously patting the man's shoulders with her hands.However, she was soon melted by the man's burning temperature. She weakly clung to the man's neck with her hands, and a soft moan escaped from her throat."Is it possible?"Toby gently inquired, and these three words also brought Leanna to some extent of clarity.She trembled her eyelashes and looked at the exceptionally handsome face of the man above her. Suddenly, she pushe
The crowd heard the words and were all a little puzzled.The forensic asked, "Isn't it normal for a suicide victim to willingly choose death?""Not normal. Even in the case of suicide, the deceased would have a struggle process, it's impossible to leave no trace at all. Hailey didn't have any. I suspect she was hypnotized by someone, then wrote a suicide note before dying."The crowd couldn't help but be startled, as if they were all contemplating this possibility.Zoey said, "Hailey and I did have conflicts, but it never escalated to the point of wanting to kill each other. Besides, she had no reason to write about plotting against herself. It is obvious that someone intentionally did it, in order to set up a scapegoat for this shooting incident and prevent the police from further investigation."Russell naturally had full confidence in Zoey, "There was a high possibility of this."The director nodded, "It was indeed suspicious, so let's co
This recording pen confirmed Zoey's conjecture, so Hailey was not a suicide at all, but a murder.The man in the recording pen was crucial. As long as he was found, we could follow the clues and find the "treasure" he mentioned.By then, everything would be revealed in the truth.Russell said, "We investigated the surveillance thoroughly, both on the set and around this building, but the other party was very professional and didn't leave any clues at all."Zoey thought for a moment, "The fact that Hailey had time to press the recording pen indicates that she knew this man, so Hailey was not suddenly chosen as a scapegoat, but she was involved in the explosion on the set. I suspect that she was also involved in the gun swap and the planting of explosives. It's just that the surveillance was cut off and didn't capture it."Russell nodded, "This speculation is reasonable. We investigated Hailey and found no abnormalities, so it is highly likely that s
Perhaps this topic was too heavy, when the two embraced and fell asleep, in fact, neither of them slept.Zoey knew that many things had changed with her rebirth, but she couldn't predict what else had happened.She had a vague sense of unease, always feeling that something would happen in the near future.And Russell confirmed tonight that the two of them had indeed had the same dream, such a vivid dream that he couldn't ignore it.He felt that Zoey seemed to be hiding something very painful from him.She didn't speak, and he didn't force her.He would be a knight, silently guarding her, preventing her from getting hurt.The night was so long.Both of them remained motionless, gazing at the cold and clear moon in the sky.Davis, Tabitha, and Landyn Jaelyn also learned about Madeleine's accident and at the same time, they also found out about Zoey's heroic act.So when Zoey came to see Madeleine with scar removal c
Zoey squinted her eyes and looked at the confident Jayleen, who appeared to have the victory in her grasp.Leanna sneered, "Look at her smug look, I never expected her to go to Dream Studio. Honestly, can Dream Studio really accept someone like her? After all, she's in cahoots with Ariana, I refuse to believe they didn't know about her plagiarism last time."Zoey said, "She might have known a little, but she probably didn't expect Ariana to completely plagiarize. However, she is not innocent either, she used to give me a hard time when we were at Born Beauty. I guess she won't be working as a designer at Dream Studio, at most she'll be an assistant. Dream Studio has high standards for designers. After all, reputable design studios are very protective of their reputation, and they won't hire designers with a history of misconduct."Leanna crossed her arms and nodded noncommittally, "Indeed. I wonder what this Dream Studio will be like. I heard that the sketches f
Nancy looked at one portrait after another of Craig, and tears kept falling from her eyes.She held onto those paintings tightly, "Craig, I'm sorry..."If it weren't for her, Craig would have definitely found a beautiful girl, gotten married, had children, and lived a life that followed the usual routine.She was the source of all Craig's tragedies, and she was immersed in deep self-blame.Three days later, Dalton and Russell came back, unfortunately they did not bring Nacy with them.The village experienced a riot, and the villagers fled in all directions. Many people managed to escape, while others were captured by the rebels and sold to various parts of the world. They were too late to leave.It took some time to find Nancy, so they came back first.Dalton noticed Nancy's abnormality and took her for a psychological test, discovering that she had depression.After hearing about this, Zoey still recounted the matter that Nanc
Susie was not surprised to see Nancy, as Emmett had sent someone to deliver a message to her after finishing these tasks.She knew Nancy would definitely come to find her, after all, Nancy's child was gone and Craig was also dead, everything unfolded according to her plan.Originally, she also wanted Nancy to die, but later she changed her mind. The most tormenting thing for a woman is nothing but the inability to conceive again and the tragic death of a former lover.She wanted Nancy to suffer a fate worse than death!Compared to death, the living are the ones who suffered the most!Susie burst into laughter, her face twisted with a wicked and malicious expression, "Do you hate me so much?"Nancy said calmly, "I hated you because you disrupted my peaceful life. However, I must tell you that your plan did not entirely succeed."The smile on Susie's face froze in an instant, "What do you mean?"Nancy faintly curved her lips and
Your own mother?Last words?Difficult to conceive?A series of information overwhelmed Nancy, and she almost couldn't bear it and fell down. The tray in her hand also almost slipped.She closed her eyes, steadied her mind, held the tray, and held onto her last bit of dignity.Taking a deep breath, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen, placing the tray on the counter.The servant asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, didn't you bring it up?"Nancy forced a smile and said, "I just tripped on the stairs earlier and spilled some."The servant took a glance and indeed, it was true. She said, "In the future, leave this kind of rough work to us, you take good care and rest."Nancy thanked and said, "It's okay, I will repackage and deliver it again. If I stay at home and do nothing, I will become moldy and grow hair."The servant didn't say anything more, but watched as she filled two bowls of poached snow pear with hone
When Nancy woke up, it was in the middle of the night. She stared at the white ceiling, tears streaming down her face.Upon hearing the suppressed crying, Dalton, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins. "Nancy, Nancy, are you awake?"Nancy looked at him and pointed to her small belly, "Gone, right?"Dalton struggled to force a smile, "There will be more in the future, Nancy. We will have children again in the future."Nancy cried out, "Why did he survive the fire, survive the kidnapping, but couldn't survive that glass of orange juice? Why treat my child like this? What did he do wrong? That glass of orange juice was personally delivered to me by my mother, does she even know?"Dalton was worried about Nancy's postoperative bleeding and quickly grabbed her hand. "She is unaware, Nancy, what you need most now is to recover your body. You must not get emotionally excited, otherwise it can eas
Leanna noticed that Nancy didn't look too well and asked with concern, "Nancy, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe it was just my imagination."Leanna knew that there was tension between Nancy and the Eaton family, so her bad complexion must have been a result of a recent unpleasant encounter with Reina.She didn't think much about it and came to the entrance of the banquet hall with Nancy.Zoey had just finished directing Roland to move the roses when she saw Nancy and couldn't help but ask, "Nancy, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy curved her lips, she didn't want everyone to think she was too fussy, so she shook her head."It's okay, I was fine, just a little nervous."Zoey held onto her arm and said, "Today, you were the most beautiful bride in the world, and Dalton was ready to welcome you."Nancy turned around and didn't see Craig's figure.He had promised her befor
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
