The call with Andrew was taken off hold."Madam, are you still there?"Grace sighed deeply before explaining the matter to Andrew, then she added, "...patch her up and send her to the hospital. We'll find a story to cover up everything that follows. She won't dare talk to anyone about it.""Understood, Madam."Andrew hung up and hurried forward to announce, "Turns out she was telling the truth. I knew something was off from the start.""What are you talking about?" Officer Mark asked, sharpening his blade, "I was just preparing to continue..."Without hesitation, Andrew explained to Officer Mark what Grace Ainsworth had told him. Serena had been drugged, but she wasn't a victim in the way they had assumed.Serena, who lay quietly on the floor half awake and half unconscious, could clearly hear what they were discussing, and the realization slowly crept into her heart.When footage appeared at the launch event, she had thought about it but she had brushed it off since she didn't appear

Elijah Langston's steps were unhurried as he moved closer and looked at those who were left."Are those who electrocuted her dead yet?" His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to put immense pressure in the room.The foam around her lips from convulsions and the burn marks on parts of her skin were evidence that electricity had been used on her. How could they have the heart to do this?The two burly men looked at each other and back to Elijah before slowly revealing the highly charged stun rod they had. What better answer did Elijah Langston need?The two men charged the rod to its maximum with electricity that could stop someone's heart on the spot if touched.One took a step and snorted coldly. "What if we are responsible? What are you going to do today?"The other stepped forward with a sly smirk that almost reached his ears. "I enjoyed putting electricity into her body and hearing her scream just now. Do you want to get a feel of electricity?" He brandished the stun rod, an e

Elijah did not answer, nor did he make any immediate movement. He simply stood there, his back to them.Under the dim green emergency light, his figure appeared calm… too calm to be real. The officers couldn’t see his face, only a silent silhouette standing in the middle of the wrecked room with his back turned to them.Officer Sophia gritted her teeth. “I’ll say it one more time,” she warned loudly. “Step away from her and kneel with your hands on your head.”Still, Elijah Langston remained motionless, as if he had not heard her at all.A faint tension spread through the team of officers, causing them to tighten their grips on their rifles. All they needed right now was the order to take this person down.“You!” Sophia raised her voice. “Kneel—!”Before she could finish, Elijah Langston flicked his sleeves back without warning.The movement was clean, sharp, and so fast that some officers didn’t even see

Serena let out a long sigh. "Mom, I'm just saying Anthony might have capitalized on something else.""But he didn't." Margaret clenched her fist. "I don't even think Anthony Lancaster is involved in this. It's that despicable officer and that so-called high-profile media person who can't keep their dogs in their pants. They see my beautiful daughter and decide to come up with a plan to do something despicable. I've seen Anthony on screen—he's a reserved man. Those two only used his name to carry out evil. If this useless person hadn't assaulted Anthony, that officer wouldn't have found an excuse to arrest you."Serena let out another long sigh.Only she knew what she now knew about Anthony Lancaster.She definitely couldn't tell her family that she had lost her purity to the man being scolded in the corner of the room. Margaret would surely tear him apart in their presence.Moreover, she had her pride and image to protect in Brooklyn Heights.For that reason, she had only told the po
