Let Me Stay The Night

Once Christina and Victoria settled on their initial plan, Victoria did not linger at Scenic Garden Manor for too long before leaving.

After a brief afternoon nap, Christina headed to the hospital to pay a visit to Timothy as usual.

Timothy’s health showed slight signs of improvement. Although progress was slow, Christina still considered it good news.

Just as Lyle had predicted, Anya was indeed granted bail in the afternoon by a mysterious individual.

At the same time, the person Christina had sent to keep a close eye on Anya fell victim to her cunning tricks, ultimately losing track of her.

Anya’s escape would not have gone as smoothly if she had not received assistance from someone behind the scenes.

In the meantime, Christina beefed up the protection around Timothy, doubling the security personnel stationed in the shadows in the hospital.

To be on the safer side, Christina did not stay too long in the hospital, and when she left, she went straight back to Scenic Garden Manor.

Christina immersed herself completely in the ongoing renovation process of the studio. She spent the entire afternoon engaged in online discussions with Rayne, and she felt fulfilled.

On the other hand, the circumstances grew increasingly challenging for Emilia. Anya’s arrest did nothing to alter her own future prospects.

Upon receiving insider information that Emilia had been abandoned by the company, her manager shamelessly arranged various “reception” gigs for her. Every day, Emilia found herself either accompanying CEOS for social drinking or acting as their female companion during recreational outings.

However, Emilia refused to surrender easily. She convinced a big shot to let her participate in a live stage event for a small makeup brand. Keeping it a secret from her manager, she attended the event.

Melissa only found out about it when the event came to an end.
