"Anna, how are you doing? Do you need to call an ambulance?"
Mary was truly frightened by the scene just now.
Fortunately, Conrad Sterling and Anna both indicated they were fine.
The person splashed water, not acid. Thank goodness.
But rembering that scene, Mary still couldn’t calm down.
If it had been acid, Anna’s face might have been ruined, and Mary might have died on the spot.
"What exactly is going on? I, I, I... I’ll call the police right away!"
"Let’s talk inside," Anna said, still wrapped in a towel.
Mary hurried back to the room to find clothes for Anna to change into.
Later, Florian Hollis also ca in, shaking his head with a sigh, indicating he hadn’t caught the person.
Anna noticed Florian limping as he entered and couldn’t help but ask, "What happened to your leg?"
"I accidentally misstepped when chasing down the stairs and sprained it."
Anna: "...Really!"
"By the way, why did you suddenly co back?" Anna asked him again.
"I saw soone suspicious outside the elevator earlier and couldn’t shake off my unease, so I ca back to check, and it turns out they were after you."
After finishing, Florian suddenly let out a painful howl: "Ah, miss! Won’t you co and help , considering I broke a leg for you?"
Wasn’t it just a sprained ankle a mont ago?
How did it turn into a broken leg?
But seeing Florian indeed unable to stand, Anna went over to support him.
Florian took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Anna’s shoulder.
Conrad Sterling noticed this little gesture and squinted slightly.
"Where exactly did you hurt? Is it necessary to put your full weight on ? Aren’t you made of bones?" Anna struggled to support him.
"No, I really can’t stand! My coccyx hurts, my spine might be damaged, every bone in my body feels like it’s being dismantled."
"Then how did you walk back just now?" Anna asked him.
"With the determination to see you, I crawled back even if I had to, but now I can’t crawl any further."
Anna: "..."
Florian, hailed by fans as the most anticipated human puppy waiting to grow up, was adept at playing the victim and acting cute. What more could he do in the future?
However, in Conrad Sterling’s eyes, these tricks only resulted in the man’s displeased frown.
Anna helped Florian sit beside the bed, but he refused to let go of her hand: "This is the first ti I suffered such a severe injury. Miss, do you think I’ll die?"
"If you stop courting death, you probably won’t," Anna glanced at Conrad Sterling’s face, withdrawing her hand. "Since you’re so delicate and fragile, don’t take reckless actions for . Your agent might find trouble with if he sees this."
Speak of the devil, Kevin Jacobs arrived.
Originally, Kevin had left with Florian, but after Florian had been in the car for a short ti, he wanted to return to the hotel to check things out, and Kevin refused to turn back.
If the dia captured a man and woman eting privately at a hotel, who knows what rumors would spread, especially given Anna’s bad reputation.
But it should be known, from his rebellious phase onwards, Florian had never listened to his agent.
Refusing to turn back, Florian simply got out of the car and ran back on his own.
Don’t ask why one ran and the other drove, with Kevin Jacobs being so slow?
Florian used a ride-hailing app halfway, while Kevin Jacobs drove slowly while worrying, fearing his young star would be snatched by a wild wolf in the suburbs.
No one expected Florian would move so quickly.
Upon arriving, Kevin saw Florian injured and imdiately jumped in place, "Oh my, Florian! Let see what happened!"
However, he looked at the face first: "This face is insured, thank goodness there’s no damage."
Then Kevin looked at the foot: "Oh my! This delicate ankle is swollen bigger than a bun! Poor thing, it must be painful!"
Kevin was so concerned that even his elegant hand gestures weren’t perfect: "Don’t worry, I’ll call the ambulance imdiately."
Calling an ambulance for a sprained foot, truly a top-tier celebrity world... Anna couldn’t understand.
She didn’t want to understand right now; all she wanted was to quietly vanish and not be caught as a target.
Coincidentally, after calling the ambulance, Kevin approached Anna demanding an explanation: "Anna Thornton! What were you thinking? It’s the first day Florian cooperates with you, and you let him get injured like this?"
Kevin turned to criticize Anna but was surprised to find Conrad Sterling: "President Sterling, why are you here too?"
Conrad Sterling didn’t answer, just looked at the information on his phone and said to Anna, "They caught the person."
"What person?" Kevin, arriving late, was puzzled.
Only Mary patiently explained to him, "Soone sneaked into Anna’s room earlier intending to cause harm but was discovered. Florian injured his foot due to chasing that person."
"Oh my! Was there such a thrilling scene?" Kevin covered his mouth in fright, "Then you shouldn’t have let Florian chase the culprit alone. He’s the most popular. What if the person’s target was him?"
Mary was resigned, knowing Kevin Jacobs could always find a reason to bla her and Anna.
But when facing Conrad Sterling, Kevin Jacobs changed his tone for deep self-reflection: "President Sterling, I apologize; I didn’t expect such an incident today. You must be angry, that the company’s pillar, Florian, got injured under my watch. As a mature agent, I pride myself on diligently caring for every aspect of the artists, yet today’s lapse is my fault. I shouldn’t have let Florian run on his own; a teenager has good stamina, but I truly couldn’t catch up."
Kevin Jacobs thought the displeased look on Conrad Sterling’s face was due to concern for Florian.
After flattering President Sterling, he didn’t forget to glare at Anna and Mary: "Where did you encounter such a person? It’s terrifying."
Feeling wronged, Anna couldn’t accept responsibility for the incident.
Though she initially didn’t want to escalate the matter, she wasn’t willing to take the bla.
Therefore, Anna asked Conrad Sterling, "The person is just a young girl, right? She should have confessed everything at the police station by now?"
"Yes."
"Did she reveal the reason?"
"Because she couldn’t stand seeing you too close to her idol, she snuck into the room intending to scare you with mice. The bottle indeed only contained purified water, and the label was torn intentionally to intimidate you."
Considering Anna’s current closeness to soone, wasn’t it Florian?
It was obvious whose fan wanted to scare her away.
Kevin Jacobs turned his eyes and imdiately understood, suddenly unable to say anything, compelled to sigh, "Kids these days... Really can’t fathom their thoughts."
"However, I suspect there are more of them! They sent threatening photos during the day and placed glass shards in my shoes," Anna added.
Upon hearing about these incidents, Conrad Sterling’s frown grew deeper.
