Chapter 844: Chapter 846

Olivia had a worried look. “Does that mean Eugene’s currently in police custody?” Brian replied, “Yes. Curtis and the others went to the police station this morning, but the higher-ups mentioned that it was their police superintendent, Mr. Walsh, who invited Eugene to visit him at his house. As for what this home visit means, I’m not too sure. Curtis said he has already contacted our men in the area to find out what is happening. Once they do, they will get back to us as soon as possible.”

“Is Eugene familiar with those higher-ups?” “I’m not too sure about this either, but I reckon they should be. After all, the subsidiary company of Nolan Group is quite influential in Nambahd. Those people of position would not dare to make life tough for Eugene if they had their country’s economy in consideration.”

Olivia grunted in response and hung up the phone woodenly. Although Brian’s words made sense, she could not contain the uneasy feeling that rose within her.

If they’re close, then how could the people of authority possibly allow this negative piece of news to persist and fester? What does the superintendent want from the home visit? Eugene can’t actually be a guest at the superintendent’s house, can he?

Could it be....

Could it be bad news?

Jewel noticed her stricken look and hastily. asked, “What’s wrong? Is there still no news on Eugene?”

“Nope. He was invited to the home of one of the higher-ups. What’s your opinion on this?” Jewel was slightly taken aback for a moment. “Generally, he’s either a guest or under confinement.”

As soon as Olivia heard that, the uneasy feeling within her intensified. “Why would they hold Eugene captive? Could the accident be plotted? No way! I need to get there right now.”

As she said that, she rose to her feet abruptly and was about to leave when Jewel hastily stopped her. “Don’t panic and get into a frenzy just yet. Eugene can’t operate a company in Nambahd without having some influence there. Besides, Nambahd is just a tiny country, so they would not dare to do anything to him. Let’s wait and see how things progress.”

Olivia remained uneasy and worried the entire time as the day went by. She was preoccupied with her thoughts and could not seem to focus at all.

During her final scene, she had several outtakes and performed worse than a child. Fortunately. for her, Director Norris was respectful toward her. Despite his annoyance, he did not end up yelling at her.

Finally, she succeeded in her scene and quickly headed toward the door hand in hand with Carter. Suddenly, there was a yelp.

‘Be careful, Olivia!”

She instinctively looked up and saw Avery running toward her. At that point, she sensed something hurtling down above her and her initial reaction was to swap hands to move Carter away like how she swapped her purse. This way, the kid could avoid being the center of impact.

As she attempted to deflect the falling prop, she did not manage to do that in time and a gash formed on her forehead from the descending stone prop. At that moment, blood. gushed out from her wound.

It was not a serious injury, but she bled profusely and continuously. ‘Olivia!” Avery ran over in a hurry and instantly withdrew a handkerchief from his pocket. before pressing it against her forehead. “Why didn’t you dodge?”

As soon as Carter saw the blood, he yelled out anxiously, “Mom, how are you feeling?”

Subsequently, the cast and crew on set rushed over to check on her. Olivia hastily waved to brush them off. “I’m fine. Don’t panic, guys. It’s just a minor cut from the prop. It’s okay.”

Director Norris came over too. “Olivia, hurry up and get the wound treated at the hospital.” She smiled in response. “It’s fine.

There’s no need to kick up such a big fuss.”

Meanwhile, the wicked smile, generally seen on Avery’s face, was now strangely gone. “Let me take a look.” He stopped applying pressure on the wound and withdrew the handkerchief.

The wound was not deep but long, leaving a slit of about two inches on the right side of her forehead.
