Chapter 77

Nick Arthur wants to find out who’s behind this whole thing, not just to please Antonia Milton, but also to have peace of mind himself.

He absolutely wouldn’t allow Simone Milton to be exposed to any kind of danger.

Think about it: If Simone Milton, who was wearing the wire harness at that time, hadn’t been stopped by the director, and if Director Pond hadn’t wanted to reshoot the first scene, then Simone Milton would have been the one to suffer the consequences.

Falling from a great height is an extremely dangerous thing.

If anything really happened to Simone Milton by then, Nick Arthur couldn’t even bear to think about how he would have to face such a reality.

And just as Simone Milton said, if this really was meant to target Simone Milton, then the most likely person to have done it would undoubtedly be Katie Adams.

And once it’s confirmed that it was Katie Adams who did it, he definitely won’t let her go.

Even if Katie Adams once had something with Alberta Arthur, that’s in the past. Nick Arthur will never allow anyone to hurt the woman he loves.

And on the other end of the video, Simone Milton felt much better after hearing Nick Arthur’s comforting words.

Finally, a faint smile appeared on her face. It looked much better than her worried expression at the beginning.

“A Yan, if you’re willing to investigate who’s behind this whole thing, that would be wonderful. Thank you for listening to me and for believing in my judgment.” Simone Milton was truly moved as she spoke these words.

She really hopes that someone will confirm her judgment and believe in her.

It’s wonderful to be believed by others like this. It’s truly moving.

Simone Milton’s thanks sounded so helpless to Nick Arthur.

If possible, he really didn’t want to hear Simone Milton’s thanks at all. It only made him feel that he and Simone Milton were too distant from each other.

But at the same time, he also knew that Simone Milton was just that kind of person.

If Simone Milton doesn’t say thank you, it wouldn’t be like her at all.

Thinking of this, Nick Arthur felt nothing but tenderness and helplessness in his heart. As he watched Simone Milton, who had finally regained her smile in the video, he couldn’t help but smile as well.

“Why do we need to say so much to each other? It’s getting late. You should go ahead and rest. I promise, I’ll help you find out what’s really going on.” Nick Arthur spoke in a serious tone.

Hearing Nick Arthur’s words, Simone Milton smiled even more shyly. She nodded and ended the video call, feeling a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because she had received some guidance from Nick Arthur before going to bed, Simone Milton found it less difficult to fall asleep that night than she had expected.

She quickly fell asleep and slept through the night. When she woke up the next day, she was full of energy, completely unlike her previous state of being troubled.

When she arrived at the filming site, she found that a large crowd had gathered at the entrance. Since the filming area was locked down, the paparazzi couldn’t get in at all.

Seeing this situation, Simone Milton naturally didn’t dare to enter through the main door. Instead, she sneaked in through the inconspicuous back door.

It wasn’t until she joined the cast that Simone Milton finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, she thought she was just an exception. But when she saw that other actors and even technical staff were also sneaking in through the back door, she realized she wasn’t actually acting differently from everyone else.

Perhaps the only person who was truly brave was the director.

When Simone Milton saw that the director was inside, it seemed like Director Pound was completely disheveled—not only was his clothing tattered, but his hair was also in a mess.

If this were to happen in an environment where no one knew the truth, it’s even possible for people to think that Director Pond is now a beggar.

Everyone on the set couldn’t help but laugh when they saw how pitiful Director Pond looked.

However, when Director Pond glanced their way, they discreetly held back their smiles, remaining completely serious as they waited for Director Pond to speak.

He clearly knew that everyone found his appearance extremely funny. Even Director Pond knew full well how ridiculous he looked right now. But he just couldn’t stand the idea of others wanting to laugh.

“Tell me, what is this supposed to be? Why did I become like this? It’s all for the sake of our production team!” Director Pond glared angrily at the crew members and actors who were trying not to laugh.

Then he carefully arranged his appearance before clapping his hands to signal his men to come forward.

“Alright, now let’s see who dares to harm someone in front of me!” Director Pond said, glancing at the props supervisor beside him.

Upon hearing Director Pond’s words, the props supervisor immediately perked up. He stepped forward, looked around, and slowly explained the current situation.

“Based on our investigations throughout yesterday, we have identified the suspect, Wang.”

“This person surnamed Wang, being a member of our props team, had easy access to the props used in the production. He used those props to cause damage! We’ve already turned him over to the police.”

“But this doesn’t mean that the matter is over. We have reliable information that proves this isn’t just a conspiracy against one of the actors in our cast, but rather a conspiracy against our entire crew!”

“So I urge everyone here: if you see anyone who seems suspicious, be extremely vigilant! Such scoundrels must not be allowed to get away with their actions!”

After saying those words, the props supervisor instinctively glanced at Director Pond beside him. Only after receiving Director Pond’s approval did he take a step back.

These words instantly caused a stir among the staff and actors present.

Even Simone Milton was stunned.

This is completely different from what she thought. What, is it still directed at the entire crew?

But upon closer thought, it’s not entirely impossible.

So, it’s possible that she misunderstood Katie Adams. Maybe Katie Adams wasn’t actually responsible for this?

Seeing that everyone was uneasy, the director immediately raised his voice and said, “Alright, this matter is now settled for now. Although we still don’t know who’s behind this, I believe we’ll eventually find out who’s responsible! So, we can get back to filming now!”

At this point, he looked at everyone sternly. It was a long while before he finally dismissed the group.

Simone Milton now has no idea what’s actually going on.

All of her previous guesses had been refuted by the director. If that’s the case, shouldn’t she apologize to Katie Adams?

Although she didn’t make it obvious, she indeed suspected Katie Adams.

Not only that, perhaps she should also apologize to Joanne Caroline!

While Simone Milton was struggling with this issue, Katie Adams, who was among the crowd, quietly returned to her own private lounge.

She nervously bit her finger. Most people probably didn’t notice, but she felt that Director Pond’s gaze at her earlier was somewhat strange.
