Carl followed Summer's gaze and saw a few men in flat caps sneaking around and whispering.
"Don't be afraid of them!" Carl raised his eyebrows and walked straight towards the journalists.
Summer had no way but to follow him.
As Carl approached, the journalists who were talking happened to look up. One of them whispered to
his companions, "Mr. Carl from Tip Top Media Company...."
Carl pointed at their cameras with his chin, asking, "What did you get?"
One of the journalists replied, "We didn't get anything. We just arrived. Now, all the major media are
desperate to find out why Jessica was injured."
As they knew nothing about the accident, Carl didn't ask any further and turned around. All of a
sudden, there came a camera shutter clicking from behind him.
Carl turned to look at Summer, and Summer whispered, "They're taking pictures of me."
Carl walked to the man who took the shot and slapped him on the head. He scolded, "What are you
doing? How dare you shoot her? You don't want to be a journalist anymore, do you?"
"I ... I didn't take anything. I'll delete them immediately," the journalist said in fear, his face pale and his
hands trembling, he began to delete the pictures.
Tip Top Media Company was a leading enterprise in the entertainment industry. If Carl wanted to block
him, a journalist, to work in the industry, it would be as easy as pie. The journalist couldn't afford to
annoy him.
Carl patted the journalist's shoulder and looked into his eyes, saying, "Delete all of them, OK?"
The journalist nodded repeatedly, "I know!"
Then, Carl turned to Summer and said, "Let's go."
Summer followed him and walked to the place where Jessica was injured.
The staff inside saw them and wanted to stop them.
However, Carl opened his eyes wide and said, "I am Carl, from Tip Top Media Company. How dare you
stop me?"
"Mr. Carl...." although the staff dreaded to stop him, they did not intend to let Carl in easily.
But before they finished speaking, Carl had made his way through them.
Because the shelf fell down and hurt Jessica yesterday, all the events today were cancelled
temporarily.
Some of the arrangements were still in place, but Summer and Carl did not see the shelf.
Summer walked around the stage and said, "I don't know which the shelf Jessica's agent mentioned is.
Why was it taken away so soon? The people behind the matter must have a guilty conscience."
Standing at the center of the stage, Carl said in the face of the auditorium, "You are right. I just came
back this morning. Those idiots in the company didn't come over to investigate themselves and only
asked the staff here. Now, the scene has been cleared. "
Carl pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. All
of a sudden, he kicked away a chair that failed to be removed in time.
Summer asked, "What kind of activity is this? There should be photos and videos, right?"
"I heard it was just a rehearsal. I'm not sure if there are videos or photos." Carl walked back and forth
on the stage, looking very anxious.
After a while, Carl took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back to the company and find out if it was
someone who are in competition with Jessica did."
"It's unlikely. Jessica's agent hasn't mentioned that Jessica made an enemy recently," Summer paused
for a moment and continued, "As Jessica's enemy, he or she must be in competition with her, and thus
they must be on the same level. However, how could such an artist be able to bribe the staff here and
hurt Jessica?"
Hearing Summer's words, Carl considered for a while and said, "Summer, go on."
"Since you have cooperated with the organizer for a few times, they must know that Tip Top Media
Company thinks highly of Jessica. They don't dare to snub her, let alone hurt her. However, Jessica
was indeed injured yesterday. Anyone behind the matter must have a high social status, or the
organizer wouldn't hurt Jessica openly."
"At the very least, anyone who was bribed must have gained a lot of benefits. Thus, the staff was
willing to hurt Jessica at all costs, including offending Tip Top Media Company."
The further Summer analyzed, the weirder she felt.
Carl sneered, "That makes sense. I don't know when Jessica offended such a big shot who even don't
care about Tip Top Media Company."
Summer muttered, "Perhaps Jessica did not offend anyone, but...."
"What?" as Summer stopped talking, Carl asked, "What happened?"
Summer remained silent and shook her head with a thoughtful expression.
Carl didn't ask further, "I'll go check videos and photos of the scene and see if I can find out what
happened back then."
"Alright," Summer replied and walked out, looking absent-minded.
They spilt up at the door.
After driving for a while, Summer stopped at the roadside.
She sat in the car for a moment and called Eliza.
Eliza was in a quiet place and teased Summer, "It's strange! You are taking initiative to call me!"
Summer asked her, "Do you know Amber's phone number?"
Eliza sighed and asked, "It turns out that you want Amber's phone number. Why do you want it? Last
time, you asked for her address. And now, you ask for her phone number. Do you have a crush on
her?"
"Forget it if you don't know," Summer said and was about to hang up.
"When did I say that? I know her phone number. It's on my phone!" Eliza said. As she was walking,
there came the crisp sound of her heels on the ground. She continued, "You are asking me for help. Be
gentle!"
Summer scratched her hair irritably and tried her best to say in a calm voice, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Alright. Never mind." Eliza checked the phone book for a while and saw Amber's number, "I've found
it. I'll read it to you ... But why are you looking for her?"
"Something comes up. Thank you," Summer replied. To avoid Eliza's further questions, Summer
directly said, "Goodbye. Sorry to bother you."
"I'm not busy...." Summer hung up before Eliza could finish her sentence.
Summer looked at Amber's number that had just been saved with a serious expression.
These years, Jessica got a lot of good opportunities of her acting career, but few people could see it.
She didn't get any negative comments from the public. Although she didn't have many leading roles,
she performed lots of charming characters.
There were actually quite a few people like her in the entertainment industry. They weren't very popular.
It was unlikely that others would be jealous of them.
