Chapter 383


    ?


    Connor''s voice was cold and indifferent. "I warned you before, if you pull any more stunts or hurt anyone, I won''t let you off the hook."


    Kalh raised her voice, "I didn''t do anything!"


    Connor''s tone was calm but firm, "Then why did those two horses go wild today?"


    Kalh froze for a moment, as if realizing something. "What does that have to do with me?"


    Just then, the riding instructor walked in. He approached ire with respect and said, "Ma''am, we reviewed the surveince footage. Juliet and Shakespeare went mad because Miss Kalh gave them banned substances."


    These horses were racehorses and needed daily training. Next to the stables was a specialized hospital stocked with various medications for treating any injuries. The instructor had even given tours of the facility before.


    Kalh''s eyes widened in disbelief, "You''re framing me! I didn''t do it!"


    ire seemed uninterested in her defense. She waved her hand dismissively. "People like her should be sent back and handed over to the police. We live in a society governed byw, where evil deeds must be paid for. Before thew, everyone is equal; we must always abide by the rules and not harbor ill will towards others."


    Kalh was dragged away, screaming that she was being set up. Connor listened to ire''s righteous speech and suddenlyughed. The person who most disregarded thew and treated lives as expendable was now lecturing about legal equality.


    At that moment, Diana''s fork ttered to the floor. She quickly bent down to pick it up. Connor nced at her again. Diana''s fingers were trembling slightly as she retrieved the fork. Connor''s eyes shed with sternness.


    Chloe remained indifferent, as if none of this concerned her. She knew deep down that this situation was far from simple. Kalh''s involvement with the drugs couldn''t be so straightforward; there had to be someone orchestrating things from behind the scenes. It was likely a case of the pot calling the kettle ck.

    The atmosphere at the meal grew even more tense. Ruben was visibly nervous. Out of eight guests, two had already encountered trouble. How could they continue filming under these conditions?


    The meal ended with everyone lost in their own thoughts. After lunch, it was time for a break, and everyone retreated to their rooms. Before heading back, Chloe made a quick stop at the restroom. As she stepped out, she was blocked by two bodyguards.


    "Ms. Chloe, Ms. ire invites you to join her for a y," one of the bodyguards said.


    Chloe looked around, realizing they were alone. She tried to resist, "Do I have to go?"


    The bodyguard''s expression remained cold. "If you can break free from us, then you don''t have to go."


    ire''s bodyguards were clearly top-notch; Chloe had seen their skills when they subdued the mad racehorses bare-handed. She knew she couldn''t take on one of them, let alone two. Sensing the futility, she sighed and said, "Fine, I''ll walk on my own."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Chloe followed the two men out of


    the vi, where a ck sedan was waiting. After she got in, the car drove away from the estate. About half an hourter, they arrived at a peculiar location with architecture resembling a birdcage. Chloe récognized it from the map; it was the ind''s grand theater.


    Once out of the car, Chloe followed the bodyguards inside. The theater was grand and decorated in an ancient style, resembling a magnificent pce. In the center was a huge stage, currently hidden behind a massive red curtain. Sitting in the center of the audience was ire. Content belongs to


    Chloe''s eyes darkened slightly, but she approached ire nheless. ire sat still, holding a porcin teacup. She took a sip of tea and then said, "Ms. Chloe, please take a seat. The show is about to begin."
