“So, it’s true that Eviette Robins wanted to harm Veronica Murphy and then frame you?” Sean Ludwig put his phone into the inner pocket of his suit and took out a cigarette. He lit it up and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Yes, it must be her,” Mia Stuart nodded vigorously. Sean Ludwig ran his hand through his hair and sighed in distress. “Eviette Robins is not only a star but also has significant influence in the business world. She is incredibly powerful. Even if she is behind this, you must not confront her face-to-face, or else you’ll only end up dead sooner.”
“Okay, okay, I understand,” Mia Stuart nodded, but then she hesitated, “But… what about Veronica Murphy? Will she think it was me who wanted to harm her?” If that’s the case, she might become a target of Veronica Murphy’s revenge.
What should she do if Veronica Murphy wants her life?
“I will explain everything to Veronica Murphy. After all, she is still my artist. I can handle her,” Sean Ludwig said confidently.
With the cigarette between his fingers, he flicked the ashes and wore a slightly displeased expression. “I even suspect now that when you were acting with Veronica Murphy, the props being switched might have been a deliberate manipulation by Eviette Robins, as a setup for this framing and accusation against you.”
He deliberately reminded Mia Stuart.
Mia Stuart was beautiful but had a simple mind and a strong physique. If no one reminded her, she wouldn’t have thought of these issues on her own. But after Sean Ludwig’s words, she suddenly realized, “Yes, it’s very possible.”
“Alright, let’s not dwell on the past. Rest well tonight, as you still have to work tomorrow,” Sean Ludwig picked up some documents and walked towards the door. Just before leaving, he reminded her, “Keep Eviette Robins’ involvement to yourself. Otherwise, no one can guarantee your life!”
Click.
The living room door locked. For a moment, the spacious living room was filled with the mournful sound of the wind. outside, like a ghostly howl.
Mia Stuart, who had narrowly escaped death, walked to the sofa and sat down, hugging a pillow to her chest. She buried her head and cried in pain, “Wuwuwu… Wuwu…”
She couldn’t understand why fate had dealt her such a cruel hand, making her bear so much alone.
But then she thought, wasn’t it because of her grudge with Veronica Murphy that Eviette Robins framed and accused her? And she didn’t have any deep hatred with Veronica Murphy, to the point that she could let go of their past grievances.
If Mia Stuart had peacefully coexisted with Veronica Murphy back then, none of these things would have happened today. Mia Stuart regrets it so much that she almost regrets it to the point of despair. Meanwhile, on the other side.
Veronica Murphy and Sean Ludwig appeared at the night market. The two of them were enjoying sushi and beer at the night market, having a heart-to-heart conversation.
After Sean Ludwig learned about everything, he felt some sympathy for Veronica Murphy, but he didn’t say much. He just held a glass of beer and clinked it with her, saying, “Be careful of Eviette Robins in the future.”
“Okay.” Veronica Murphy raised her head, finished her beer, put down the glass, and used a fork to pick up a piece of lamb to eat.
“Mia Stuart, she…” Sean Ludwig hesitated. Veronica Murphy smiled helplessly, “Don’t worry, I don’t hold any deep grudges against her. Besides, she is now under your management. I won’t do anything to her. Let bygones be bygones.”
She picked up the beer bottle and poured beer into Sean Ludwig’s and her own glass, then raised it, “Thank you for today.”
