Chapter 46: First Meeting
The doctors wouldn't let them in the VIP room, asserting she needed rest. Amelia had rushed to the hospital from the studio, leaving her work in the middle. No one knew where she had gone. Her manager had been calling her like a madman, finally forcing her to switch off her cell.
"I don't know. The doctors said that the injury wasn't that serious. They have stitched it up. She lost some blood. Might have caused her to pass out. She should have woken up by now."
"About Caroline Anderson..."
"I've already contacted my family lawyer. We have evidence. I won't let her off for hurting our Jazmine." The Frank family had one of the top lawyers in New York. He was trustworthy, so he definitely couldn't be bribed, and all his family lived abroad, making it impossible to threaten him.
Amelia nodded, though she knew it would not be enough. Caroline Anderson belonged to the Anderson family, the number one in the city. At most, they could harm her reputation. But to do more than that... was impossible. She had already tried when Caroline had slandered her. But she couldn't even touch her reputation.
The two talked about how to deal with Caroline, and as they did, they didn't notice a man intentionally dressed in casual attire quietly standing in a corner, listening to their whole conversation. After the doctor's assurance, Amelia left while Frank snoozed off in the waiting room.
"We have run the tests. Ms. Jazmine's condition is not caused by her head injury. The head injury is only superficial. Instead, in her system, we have found a rare lethal drug. The drug has no odor and is barely detectable. It starts to take effect in just twenty minutes. It was lucky she was brought here instantly, otherwise, she might have suffered permanent damage to her organs."
The director paused for a second when he saw an unsettled expression unfolding on Sebastian's face. Scary.
This morning, he had planned to take a day off after a week of night shifts. At 4 AM, he received a call. The person claimed that he was Sebastian's secretary. The doctor laughed. Haha! Such a nice prank. But to be safe, he checked the official number.
