“You can’t just let her go like that! As long as you’re willing, I have a hundred ways to make her talk!”
Nell turned to look at Nancy with an apprehensive gaze.
“Nancy, don’t act recklessly!”
Nancy was no ordinary female bodyguard. This was something that Nell knew very well.
Her skills and finesse had far surpassed the security guards she had seen before. Gideon had transferred only her to Nell’s side to protect Nell, so it could be inferred that Nancy had remarkable qualities.
Nancy saw Nell’s wary expression and rubbed her head in slight annoyance.
“That’s not it. I just don’t understand. It wasn’t easy to grab her, but you’re just letting her go now. It’s such a waste!”
Nell shook her head.
“It’s not a waste.”
Nancy was stunned.
“I know Celine too well. She’s suspicious by nature. Since she already knows that you’ve taken Kylie, even if she goes back now, Celine won’t believe her.
“Celine doesn’t treat Kylie well but Kylie was willing to help her guard her secrets so fiercely. Maybe there’s some sort of leverage or threat that Celine holds over Kylie.
“If we force her like this, not only will we not be able to get the truth out of her, we may also push her to a dead end. It’s better to let her go.
“If Celine really doesn’t trust her now, she won’t keep Kylie by her side anymore. When that happens, it won’t be impossible for us to make another move.”
Nancy’s eyes widened, suddenly understanding Nell’s plan.
Now that everything was clear, Nancy could not help but admire Nell’s meticulousness.
She exclaimed, “So that’s it! That’s brilliant!”
Nell smiled. “It’s just a little trick, nothing to be impressed about.”
When they reached the set, sure enough, before long, Tim signaled for them to start.
Nell’s makeup remained unchanged. She only needed to touch up slightly before continuing the shoot.
Celine was the same but perhaps she did not study the scene thoroughly or she was too restless today, she was not able to pass the scene despite multiple takes.
Even if the lines were delivered smoothly, they always felt wrong. In the end, Tim had finally lost his patience.
Even if they continued like this, the shoot would not be completed, so they let her rest for now and continued to shoot something else first. This part would be included in the end product afterward.
Celine’s mood grew even fouler at this. When she saw Kylie, who had returned at some point, her eyes almost burst into flames.
“Where the hell have you been? Why are you only back now?!”
Kylie avoided her gaze, not daring to look at Celine.
Her voice was as low as a fly. “I-I didn’t go anywhere.”
“You didn’t go anywhere?” Celine looked at her with suspicion. “Why did I hear that you were taken away by Nancy Murray?”
Kylie’s body trembled imperceptibly.
Even if it was only a subtle subconscious reaction, Celine keenly caught it.
She immediately sneered.
“Looks like you told her everything.”
“I didn’t!”
Kylie hurriedly denied, but how would Celine believe her?
“You didn’t? Then, where have you been for hours today since this morning? Don’t tell me that you went out and got lost and couldn’t find your way back! You really think I’m that easy to fool?!”
Kylie was on the verge of tears.
“Sister Celine, I really didn’t say anything. I was indeed taken away by Nancy Murray but no matter how much she asked, I never said anything. You have to believe me.”
Celine looked at her coldly.
Kylie was helpless and sobbed. “Even if you don’t believe in my loyalty, my mother is still counting on the money you’ll give me for her surgery. I haven’t gotten the money yet, so how would I dare to say anything?”
Celine seemed to find that believable.
Even so, she still stared with suspicion. “You swear?”
“I swear!”
“Fine, then I’ll trust you for now.”
She had hated Kylie for what she did before but now, she could not help but have some mixed feelings.
“It’s quite pitiful.”
“Has Celine given her the money?”
“Not yet. She was asked to help with another task.”
Nell’s expression revealed that she knew this would happen.
“Did you hear what she was asked to do?”
Nancy frowned and shook her head. “I didn’t hear them clearly. They were too far away and they spoke in low voices.”
Nell was not surprised.
“It doesn’t matter. We’ll know at night.”
After returning to the hotel, she naturally took a shower first.
Although their location was somewhat off the beaten path, it was economically prosperous as there were various drama crews stationed there all year round.
There was a snack street not far from the hotel. Nell was in a rare and good mood today, so she took Nancy and went to the snack street for a stroll.
After they went out, a sneaky figure appeared at the door of their room.
The figure was relatively thin and glanced left and right, confirming that there was no one around before pulling out a card and opening the door.
Upon entering, she saw that the room was empty and sighed in relief, and started rummaging around.
“Where is it?”
Kylie frowned deeply. She remembered that Nell and Nancy did not stay here for long. Apart from taking a shower, they did not have much time to focus on hiding things, so that item should not have been hidden securely.
Could it be that they brought it out with them?!
No, that was impossible.
They went out for supper and it would be troublesome if they took something like that out and ended up accidentally losing it. It definitely would have been left in the room.
Thinking about this, Kylie became more focused on finding it.
