LOGINWhat on earth was his boss doing?He had looked furious just moments ago, yet now he was calmly replying to messages with a faint smile on his face.It was obvious.He looked almost smitten.No, wait. Was that even the right word to describe his boss?Desmond felt like the world had suddenly become something he no longer recognized.“Let’s go. We’re heading to the hospital now.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Desmond snapped back to his senses.This wasn’t the time to linger.Before leaving, Lucas added, “Make sure the online news is suppressed as quickly as possible.”“Don’t worry, I’ve already given the instructions. They know what to do.”Lucas didn’t say much more, only letting out a quiet “Mm.”At this point, they still didn’t know exactly what had happened.The only thing that had to be ensured was that no one died at the completion ceremony.As for everything else, they could investigate it slowly afterward and find out who was behind it.Lucas was certain of one thing—the incident at the
Lucas had always felt that Desmond lacked potential.He had been by his side for nearly five or six years—didn’t he even understand something as basic as reading the room?Today, Lucas was in a hurry to deal with matters and head over to Aurora.And yet, at such a critical moment, Desmond chose to come and bother him.At that thought, Lucas’s gaze turned even colder.But Desmond was anxious. “Mr. Carter, I really do have something to report today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare disturb you at a time like this.”“I know you’re busy with Miss Walton’s situation, but what I have to report is just as urgent—it concerns her.”Lucas’s interest was piqued.He instinctively lifted his head to look at Desmond. “What nonsense are you talking about?”“Mr. Carter, take a look at what’s happening online. It’s everywhere. They’re all talking about Miss Walton.”Desmond handed his phone over and said seriously, “If this isn’t handled properly, Miss Walton is finished. The company might not even survive.”
“Wasn’t he supposed to go up as our representative to speak at the completion ceremony today? If he’s injured, that means something’s gone wrong with the ceremony too.”Aurora nodded grimly.She and Megan were thinking the same thing.Daniel getting hurt was just the trigger. The people behind it were really trying to sabotage the completion ceremony.This was the first project their studio had ever secured.And now, right when the project was about to wrap up, someone resorted to such underhanded tactics.It was obvious they were targeting the studio itself.Aurora took a deep breath, the confusion in her eyes fading into something heavier.“So we need to get back there as soon as possible. We can’t waste any more time here. The longer we stay, the more chance they have to make a move against the studio.“You know, Megan, right now the studio is all I have left. I really can’t afford to lose it.”As she spoke, her eyes glistened faintly.But this wasn’t the time to show weakness.Mega
“Alright. I already booked a ticket back the moment I knew filming would end today.”“Good. Then change it. We’ll take the earliest flight back.”Just as she finished speaking, Jason walked over to them.Seeing this, Aurora’s expression softened slightly.She remained polite when facing him.“Miss Walton, what’s going on? You look in a hurry.”Hearing that, Aurora shook her head helplessly.“Mr. Smith, I need to head back. I can’t stay here any longer.”“Is filming paused now? I remember I have a week off.”The director nodded.“That’s right. This period is yours to manage. You don’t have to stay here wasting time.“If you have something urgent, go ahead and leave. No need to hold yourself back here.”Hearing this, Aurora didn’t want to waste another second.Staying here would only cost time, and she had no idea what condition Daniel was in.On top of that, things at the studio couldn’t be delayed either.Right now, Ian was the only one there holding things together.If someone took ad
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be talking to me like this.”Ian felt that Aurora truly understood him.“Boss, you really do know me best.”At those words, Aurora’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed the completion ceremony really had gone wrong.No matter how carefully she had told Ian to keep watch, it was impossible to guard against people with bad intentions.Things like this were simply too outrageous to prevent completely.“Alright, back to the point, what exactly happened?”Hearing Ian keep circling around the topic only made Aurora more anxious.The moment Aurora said that, Ian felt even worse.“I don’t even know where to start. The situation is a complete mess right now. Boss, I really need you to come back as soon as possible. Don’t stay in Lakeshore City. I can’t handle this on my own.”Hearing this, Aurora couldn’t help but take a deep breath.“Alright, just tell me clearly first. What’s the situation now?”“At first, someone spread rumors saying there were problems with our company’
Because Megan had always been a sensitive and gentle girl, whenever something truly happened, she would be the first to step forward and comfort others.But in truth, she was the one who felt the most afraid.Two sensitive and tender girls, understanding each other like this, supporting one another all the way, it had not been easy for them to come this far.In the end, under Aurora’s uneasy gaze, Megan still chose to answer the call.Even if something had really gone wrong, it would have to be faced sooner or later.There was no point in the two of them hesitating here.“Hello, Ian.”Megan’s gentle voice carried through the phone.In truth, she felt just as uneasy inside, unsure whether picking up the call had been the right decision.But just as Aurora had said, no matter what happened, it had to be faced.Avoiding it would not change anything.So why dwell on it? Living peacefully and happily was what mattered most.“Miss Quinn, have you and the boss finished filming?”Ian’s voice s
“Then in that case, Miss, I think I know what kind of place would suit you,” the agent suddenly spoke with more certainty.“But this courtyard house… it won’t be easy to arrange.”Aurora looked at her, not quite understanding what she meant.“Isn’t it just a rental? What’s the difference?” Megan ask
As long as she had him, that was enough. Lucas would always stand by Aurora’s side, never against her.Hearing Aurora’s explanation, Megan also felt it made sense, so she quickly shifted the topic. “But tell me, why is Tessa here at the banquet too?”Aurora’s heart skipped a beat at the question, an
Ian’s eyes also carried excitement.He knew that as long as he followed Aurora, he would never suffer any losses.Over the years, the benefits he had gained were obvious to everyone.More importantly, he had truly learned something from her.Ian always believed that the knowledge he gained was more
“I’ve just worked with Aurora for a long time. We know each other well. Do you have to control even this?”Leonard showed no sign of backing down.The two of them were at each other’s throats, sharp against sharp.Caught in the middle, Aurora couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. “Alright, we
