Chapter 191
Madison only found out what happened last night when she woke up the next day.
However, she did not get all the details.
Madison only knew that the police brought two people back to the station last night.
One was arrested for committing offenses with a knife.
The other person's offense was premeditated murder. It was said that this person was involved in other illegal acts. Hence, his wife and their children left, and even his biological parents were unwilling to acknowledge him.
Madison was not interested in this person's other crimes. She only wanted to know why he wanted to kill Antoine and how Antoine and the others caught him.
Hence, while everyone in the production team was gossiping about this matter, Madison pestered Joe to tell her more about what had happened.
"It's actually very simple. Antoine's safety equipment was prepared separately, so we coated a substance that Jason sent over onto the equipment. That substance could burn a person's hands. That thief was also stupid. He heard that after that scene was filmed, he would be identified as the thief, hence he tried to escape. However, he got caught instead."
Madison's eyes widened. "Oh my god! Jason didn't tell me anything, and you think it is fun to keep me in the dark! Didn't you think that I would be worried?"
Joe felt guilty as he looked at Madison's pitiful and aggrieved gaze. "I did not intend to keep it a secret from you. I just... forgot."
Madison thought, 'Forgot?'
She was hopping mad.
She could not believe that Joe thought that it was a good excuse.
Without waiting for Madison to flare up again, Joe quickly apologized. "It's all my fault. You can do whatever you want when we get home this time."
Joe actually should not be blamed. Antoine sent the substance from Jason overnight. They had little time. If Madison saw Antoine, who was still sick, she would be very worried. Antoine should actually be resting.
Hence, everyone decided to keep it a secret for now, not even mentioning the change of plans.
After that, Joe really forgot.
Now that things had come to this, Madison naturally wouldn't keep harping on it.
Moreover, she had some leverage against Joe. Hence she did not feel embarrassed.
Everyone did not stay around in Mountain Fog for long. After this matter was settled, they informed Terence Finley that they were leaving.
Before they left, Madison gave a generous amount of money to the production team, but their condition was that the main lead had to be an artist from XR Entertainment. Terence would be in charge of the audition.
Not only did she invest her money, but Madison also brought a young apprentice to the production team.
It was a child who was adopted by the Rose Garden management. He was quite talented, but his culinary skills were not good enough to be a chef in Rose Garden yet. Hence, they sent him here to be an apprentice.
Terence originally wanted Madison to stay for a few more days. He wanted her to polish her skills and to change the script.
However, as she was Antoine's sister, and Antoine was the movie's investor, Terence did not dare to make any demands. He just asked for Madison's WhatsApp contact. Terence almost cried with gratitude when Madison brought the apprentice.
The production team was very efficient.
On the same day, the production team officially announced the news of Antoine leaving the production team due to an accident. At the same time, it was made known to the public that a replacement actor had been chosen after the audition.
This series of news immediately caused an uproar among the netizens.
Now the rumor had become a fact. Antoine had left the production team. Many fans immediately started to come up with conspiracy theories. They thought that the background of the replacement actor was to strong. Hence, the netizens focused on insulting the production team and XR Entertainment so badly that they forgot that Sally and Leo had just announced their upcoming wedding.
Fortunately, XR Entertainment saw what was coming and had already made preparations.
When the matter was about to blow up, the police were informed, and they issued a statement. In that short period, the news died down but brought publicity to the movie.
Although the police's announcement did not specify any details, it could not hold back the curiosity of netizens and the production team's desire to share gossip.
In just one night, Sally Hale appeared on the trending searches again.
She was being insulted.
The fans were angry that their idol's career was destroyed and wanted to take revenge on others, causing the main lead to be injured and almost lose his life. The production team had suffered heavy losses after a few days of shutdown, and all the blame fell on Sally.
Even if the two criminals did not know each other at all and had different motives, Sally became the scapegoat.
As for XR Entertainment, Antoine released a photo to ensure his fans that he was all right, and hence, the company and the replacement actor were free from any harassment.
The photo that was released was a photo of him with gauze around his head. Madison took the photo with him. Joe stood behind them, with a comical expression on his face. It was very eye-catching.
The netizens did not know about their relationship, but those in the entertainment industry knew that Joe was XR Entertainment's CEO. The fact that the three of them were in the same frame and took such a photo was enough to show that they had a good relationship. The rumors that they were forced to replace Antoine and support XR Entertainment's artists were also dispelled.
Because of this photo, many fans even asked online if Antoine wanted his sister to get married. They even analyzed Joe's intentions.
The netizens knew that Joe founded the company at a young age. He must come from a good family background. Moreover, the company had produced extremely good movies over the past few years. More importantly, although Joe was handsome and rich, he did not have any scandals with female celebrities.
In short, Joe was the ideal man to marry.
Madison was speechless when she saw the posts that encouraged her to choose the ideal man. She looked disgusted.
"How can anyone be so blind to think that Joe is the ideal man? They should be able to tell that there's a problem with him because he has been single for so many years. He must be very glib. Fortunately, he is my biological brother!"
"Jessica, are you looking for trouble?"
Joe who was driving in front, could not help but roll his eyes. He told himself fiercely in his heart that he would not hit his biological sister.
Madison and the rest were laughing, but there were unhappy people somewhere else.
Initially, Sally thought that marrying Leo would make her presence known online. She did not expect that the trending topics were all negative remarks about her.
Sally was so angry that she smashed her phone. "Idiots! Where did so many idiots come from?"
She clearly didn't do anything, but in the end, she became the topic of insult.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Not only did the fan harm others, but he was also caught. How could Sally have such a stupid fan?
Sally thought, 'Madison and Antoine are fine. He only hurt his forehead. What about me? I am being scolded by anyone who goes online!'
On top of that, she did not even have the chance to explain herself!
"Oh dear! Sally, you've already smashed a few phones this month. Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this."
Ramona's heart ached when she saw that her daughter was angry. She hugged Sally and comforted her, "Why are you angry with these lowly people? You're going to marry Leo. After the wedding is held, you can get whatever you want. Let's just live our own lives. Who cares what these poor people say?"
Sally leaned against her mother. "But I feel terrible when I read their insults."
Ramona coaxed her, "Then don't read anything online. You just have to be very nice to Leo in the future. Don't worry about these things online. By the way, have you tried the wedding dress and ring that Leo sent over? Do they fit you well?"
It would have been better if Ramona hadn't mentioned it. When she mentioned the wedding dress, Sally's expression turned ugly.
She could not wear the wedding dress sent by Leo at all. It was clearly tailor-made for Madison. It was not Sally's size!
There was also the ring, which was also not her size. It could only fit her pinky.
Everything was completely different from what she had imagined!
