Chapter 513

Lucy forced herself to sit up and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little dizzy.”

Carina saw that Lucy did not look too good and curiously reached out to probe her forehead.

“Ah, Sister Lucy, you have a fever.”

Lucy was stunned. She also reached out to touch her forehead in surprise.

However, since she was having a fever, her entire body was hot, so she did not feel anything off when she touched her forehead.

She only felt dizzy and everything she saw seemed to turn blurry.

Carina grew anxious and was just about to call the doctor when Lucy stopped her.

“Don’t call yet.” She weakly reached out to stop Carina and said, “Help me ask the director for a leave of absence. Just tell him that I won’t be returning to the crew tonight. Go privately and don’t let too many people see you. We’ll go to the hospital by ourselves.”

Carina was still unsure. “But your condition...”

“I’m fine, it’s not a big deal. At most, I just fell into the water and caught a cold. I won’t die.”

Carina bit her lips, but in the end, she could only go as she was told.

Carina explained the reason to Levi in private and Levi was also reasonable. However, he did have some opinions about Lucy hiding the fact that she was uncomfortable and not saying anything about it.

It felt like Lucy had inadvertently made him a wicked person.

Carina also did not bother saying much with him. With his attitude toward Lucy yesterday, he should think about why she did not dare to say anything.

She hurried back and called a taxi, and soon accompanied Lucy to the hospital.

On the other hand, although Carina did not disclose it, news that Lucy was admitted to the hospital after filming the drama was leaked.

It was not a good idea for everyone to know when a lady’s time of the month came.

Therefore, the only thing everyone knew was that Lucy shot a water scene and was in the water for only one to two minutes, but she was admitted to the hospital.

Some people could not help but shake their heads and sigh.

“Tsk, a pampered girl is a pampered girl. How delicate.”

“Hopefully, the taxi drives faster. Otherwise, she might be cured before she gets to the hospital.”

This was because in the afternoon, Astrid also had a water scene. However, what was different was that it was a scene where she bathed at the water’s edge.

The advantage of this was that there was no action needed. She just had to sit inside without worrying about big movements.

The bad thing was that she had to stay in the water for a longer time. Furthermore, the scene was shot outdoors, so it would still be cold as time stretched.

However, Astrid still finished the scene perfectly. She even forced herself to ask for a few more takes, wanting to pick out the best one.

This was a far cry from Lucy’s performance in the morning where she only barely managed to pass after several failed takes.

In an instant, Lucy’s image changed from being a pretty little flower with a beautiful heart to a manipulative and scheming white lotus who could not bear any hardships.

On the other hand, Astrid, who had always been mediocre in the entertainment circle, suddenly became a goddess of dedication in everyone’s eyes.

Everyone could not help but sigh in private. The entertainment industry was unreasonable. Some people worked hard for ten years, but were still unable to match up to another person who had an attractive face.

It was too bad that the era now only looked at faces.

The thought that a certain someone was not unworthy of her position emerged and soon spread throughout the entire crew.

Negative news about Lucy acting snobbish, bullying her fellow actress, and making a mountain out of a molehill spread in just one day, and even the filming crew next door knew about it.

It just so happened that during this time, Janet Hancock was filming a scene for a historical drama next door.

She was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

It was because she knew that Lucy was an artiste under Nell. Furthermore, the two of them had met several times before because of their relationship with Nell.

Although they did not have any personal relationship with each other, they could be counted as ordinary friends.

It was not good to ask Lucy about something like this face-to-face, so she naturally mentioned it to Nell.

Nell completely retired after giving birth.

She used to think filming was fun but after having Viemond, she preferred to stay at home so that she could see her son at any time compared to the unpredictable life of being on set.

Therefore, during this period, she stayed at Fengqiao Villa and only went to Anning International and Xinghui every day, clearly only moving behind the scenes.

She was still surprised when she received Janet’s call, but she could not help but frown when she heard what had happened.

That was because she knew very well about Lucy’s professional ability and influence.

Her popularity was also rising and she was now in a steady development stage where there was nothing much she had to worry about.

Nell also had to take care of business on Anning International’s side and the amount of energy she could allocate was limited, so she gave full authority to Hannah and Susan Reed.

She had never expected something like this to happen.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “Alright. I’ll have someone follow up on this matter.”

With that, Janet also did not say anything else and hung up.

Then, Nell immediately called Susan.

Susan was shocked to hear about this and promised to immediately investigate the matter before reporting back to her.

After all, it was just a little gossip. Nell did not take it to heart.

During this period, there was some news from Country F, saying that an eyewitness when Old K died was found.

The other party claimed that they were passing by the accident and did not see Old K die with their own eyes, but they saw a man in a black leather jacket coming out of the building.

Since it was dark and there were no street lights around, they did not see the man’s face too clearly.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 512 Barely Finished There was just the vague recognition that the man was Oriental, not a Westerner.

Although this clue was not very useful, it at least gave Nell some direction.

In Country F, the group with more Orientals than the Bauhinia Clan was the Dragon Regiment.

However, there was another group in Europe that was easy to overlook.

That was the Chinese Association.

This group was established at the beginning of the last century. It was originally an organization formed by a group of people who took refuge abroad at that time to keep each other warm.

Later, after the war died down and it gradually became safe, the group was not disbanded but instead changed from a mutual protection organization to a local organization leader.

However, the group usually acted in a very low-key manner, so few people would notice it.

Furthermore, they had a large number of members. The Chinese Association was present almost everywhere there were Chinese. Although they covered a lot of land, it was a very loose net.

To put it nicely, they were a group and to put it badly, it was just a name.

Due to this, people cared about them even less.

It was rare enough for anyone to mention this organization that had been founded more than a hundred years ago and if it were not for this incident, Nell would have forgotten that such an organization even existed.

She frowned and fell deep into thought.

Although she was not sure if this incident had anything to do with the Chinese Association, if that murderer was an Oriental, it would be better to search from the Association instead of looking for a needle in a haystack.
