I picked up my phone, hesitating whether to call the police, when the bodyguard's phone rang first. Then, he respectfully said, "Miss Morgan, the president requests your presence."
That was quick, I'll give it to him.
Clayton Blackwood truly exemplifies a domineering CEO, especially in his ability to act swiftly and decisively.
Anticipating my return to the real world soon, I couldn't hide the excitement on my face, and quickly followed the bodyguard into the car.
Yet, when we arrived at the hospital, the chaotic scene in front of me was astonishing.
Clayton sat authoritatively at the head, a row of people lined up in front of him.
A quick scan from left to right revealed Eleanor, the female lead; Zack Morris, the secondary male lead; Valerie White, the villain; and her faithful sidekick, Dr. Shawn Webb.
The whole crew was present, not a single one missing.
"Clayton, please believe me, I thought I was really sick. Who would fake such a thing to frame someone else?"
Valerie White was on her knees, crying pitifully in front of Clayton, as if she would swear on her life she never intended to hurt Eleanor.
Dr. Shawn Webb, ever the loyal lackey, couldn't bear to see Valerie distressed and insisted the misdiagnosis was his fault alone, absolving Valerie of any wrongdoing.
"Miss White, are you telling me you can't tell if you're sick or not? What are you, an idiot?"
Disgusted by the schemer and her sycophant, I couldn't resist a jab at Valerie, then turned my attention to Shawn.
"Dr. Webb, if you can't diagnose such a basic illness, you really shouldn't be a doctor. Maybe selling sweet potatoes is more your speed."
These two were nothing but toxic obstacles on the path of the main characters' romance.
Although their schemes were exposed for now, who knows when they might try again. To ensure a stable happy ending for the leads, I pressed on to ensure these villains were thoroughly dealt with.
Clayton was previously blinded by his past friendship with Valerie, but he was no fool. At my prompting, he coolly gestured with his hand.
In an instant, bodyguards stepped up, took hold of Valerie White and Shawn, and escorted them out.
