Chapter 113
Cassie replied, “I’m going over to the set. I have a feeling that if the prop issues hadn’t been detected early, my mom would have ended up being hurt.”
Gently placing his hand on Cassie’s head and looking down at her, Marcus said, “Don’t worry. If you start inquiring about this matter, the person responsible will be alarmed. I’ll send someone to look into it.”
With Marcus’s reassurance, Cassie calmed down a little.
She nodded and agreed.
Marcus gently stroked Cassie’s cheek and made a phone call.
While waiting for the result, Cassie was visibly anxious and couldn’t sit still.
As soon as Marcus’s phone rang, she immediately leaned in closer.
As expected, it was the person Marcus had sent to check the props for Crew B calling.
Marcus put the call on speakerphone.
The man reported, “Mr. Anderson, the problem involved a very large chandelier. I mentioned casually that, fortunately, it didn’t injure any artists. However, the stage manager immediately informed me that if the shoot had gone ahead, the chandelier would have been positioned directly above Anne’s head.”
Hearing this, Cassie gritted her teeth hard.
She was right!
Marcus ordered sternly, “Find out who has manipulated it.”
The person replied, “Yes!”
With that, the call ended.
Marcus looked at Cassie and said, “Good thing you
noticed it.”
Cassie sighed and rubbed her temples. “I’m not a seer,” she said. “I can’t anticipate every danger. Three incidents have

Marcus stated, “There’s one possibility.” He paused briefly before continuing, “Maybe he only has two days to take action.”
“Anyway, I need to find this person soon,” Cassie said, standing up again. She added, “I’ve already sent the bodyguards away,

Marcus grabbed Cassie’s wrist and pulled her into his arms, saying, “Where are you planning to run off to this time?”
“I’m going to the police station,” Cassie said, struggling.
However, Marcus’s grip was tight, and Cassie couldn’t get free at all.
“I’ll go with you,” Marcus said. Before Cassie could refuse, he continued, “If you go like this, the police won’t let you see the madman from last night. Using the Murphy family’s name will definitely alert Mrs. Murphy. Think about it, wouldn’t my

Cassie playfully pinched Marcus’s cheek and said, “Look at you, clever head!”

Marcus smiled slyly.

“I’ll listen to your instructions,” Cassie conceded.
Marcus was delighted.
Half an hour later, Cassie met the lunatic, John.
As soon as John saw Cassie, his eyes lit up, and he asked, “Did you come to get me out of here?”
Cassie really didn’t want to see John. Just looking at him reminded her of those photos and his actions.
“Are you okay?” Marcus bent down and whispered in Cassie’s ear looking genuinely worried about her.
Cassie nodded.
John wasn’t pleased and asked, “Who are you? Stay away from her! Don’t touch her!”
Marcus looked up at John.

The loudmouthed madman felt deflated the moment he met Marcus’ gaze, immediately lowering his eyes and bowing his head.
“Who brought you here?” Cassie asked directly.
John raised his eyes. Then he shook his head and replied, “I came by myself.”
Cassie sneered, “You kept saying nice words to me. I thought you actually cared about me, but it turns out you’re protecting someone who wants to hurt me!” She stood up, ready to leave with Marcus.
John cried out anxiously, “Don’t go! She’s a good person. She won’t hurt you! You must be mistaken.”
‘She!’ Cassie thought.
Cassie stopped and looked back at John, asking, “Who is she?”
John avoided Cassie’s eyes and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “I can’t say. There are malicious b***s out to get her. I mustn’t say anything.”
Cassie asked in a rigid tone, “Alright, let me ask you something else: when did you meet her? Was it before or after your father passed away?”
This time, John was a lot more forthcoming. “When Dad got sick, she sent money for the medical bills. Later, she even helped arrange Dad’s funeral!”
Cassie felt her heart sink once more.
In fact, since last summer, Anne had been planning her comeback.
Cassie only found out about it recently.
If that woman had been secretly plotting against Anne, she was likely the first to know about Anne’s comeback plans.
Another possibility was that the person didn’t care whether Anne returned; she had been scheming since the end of last year, planning to use John to create the perfect opportunity to eliminate Anne.
However, the only chance to get close to Anne was when she left home
to

Cassie exclaimed, “Idiot! Do you even know how you ended up like this? It’s all because of her! Did she tell you to kill those

John shouted with excitement, “No! Those women deserved it!”

“Let someone else handle the questioning. Stop talking to him,” Marcus said and, stepping in front of Cassie, took her away quickly.
John cried, “Don’t go! You’re my only family left in this world. You can’t abandon me! Come back!”
Behind Cassie and Marcus, John was shouting as loudly as he could.
Cassie gritted her teeth, her fists clenched, as she forged ahead.

“Cassie, do you want to have dinner with me?” asked Anne.

Cassie felt as though something had struck her hard on the head. It hurt, and her reactions were a bit sluggish. “Mom,” she said, “I went to the beach for fun. I’ll be back soon, so please wait for me in your room. We’ll have dinner at the hotel.”
“Did you go to the beach by yourself?” Anne sounded worried.
“I have bodyguards with me,” Cassie replied briefly, then hung up.
After that, Cassie looked at Marcus and waved at him.
Marcus leaned closer.
Cassie hugged him, pressing her cheek against his chest, and said, “Just let me hold you for a moment.”
Marcus gently patted her head and said, “Okay.”
Cassie hadn’t been holding Marcus for long when Marcus’s phone rang.
It was the person who was investigating the crew.
“Yeah, I’ll be right there,” Marcus said simply and hung up. Then he said to Cassie, “Cassie, we’ve found out who manipulated the props.”
“Take me with you!” Cassie responded immediately.
“Okay!” Marcus agreed.
This area wasn’t that big.
Soon, Marcus’s car pulled up in front of a small villa. Cassie eagerly jumped out and rushed inside.
Marcus caught up in just a few steps.
In the living room of the villa, two men were tied to chairs, bruised and battered, crying like they were in serious pain.
“Sir! We honestly don’t know anything!” they pleaded.
Joe, now visibly tanned, looked at the crying men and warned, “Quit whining! If you keep it up, I’ll cut your tongues out!” At this moment, Cassie rushed in from outside.

“Hello, Ms. Murphy, Joe greeted her politely.
Cassie nodded at Joe and asked, “Is it these two?”
Joe confirmed, “Yeah. You two, explain to this lady what you’ve done.”

One of the men said, “We were told by someone that he held a grudge against the production manager of this crew, and we were paid to disrupt the filming schedule. We only tampered with the chandelier a bit. Our intention was simply to delay the filming, nothing more!”
Cassie said coldly, “Just delaying the filming? If the manager hadn’t spotted an issue with that chandelier and had the situation rechecked, that tampered chandelier could have fallen right above my mom’s head, and she would have been killed for sure! And you think that’s just a délay? Killing a lead actress would definitely delay the filming!”
“We didn’t know!” The two men cried even more fearfully when they heard someone’s life was involved.
“Who told you to do this?” Cassie asked.
“It was another crew member!” claimed a man.
“Where’s the person?” Cassie looked at Joe and asked.
Joe said, “We’ve looked for someone who matches the description they provided, but we couldn’t find anyone. We also reviewed the surveillance footage from the location they mentioned, but there’s no record of it. It appears that someone may have cleaned it up beforehand.”
“Quite good at hiding, isn’t it?” Cassie sneered. “Was it a man or a woman?” she asked.
The two men said in unison, “It was a man!” Then one of them added, “Not tall, with small eyes, seemed really naive. But who knew he’d turn out to be such a jerk, causing us so much trouble for just 2,000 dollars!”
“Send them to the police station,” Cassie ordered. She knew that person had come fully prepared, with no intention of being caught.
Leaving the villa, Cassie seemed noticeably down.
Marcus consoled, “We’ve only been investigating for just over an hour. Give them a little more time, and they’ll surely find that person.”
Cassie nodded and said, “Yeah. Thanks for being with me all the time.”
“Isn’t this still the trial period? I need to work hard,” Marcus said with a sigh.
Cassie finally cracked a smile and said, “Alright, I’ll head back now. You should get back to work too.”
“Okay, I’ll leave Joe here. If you need anything, just ask him,” Marcus said. He knew that staying here might put pressure on Cassie.
“Okay,” Cassie replied, giving Marcus a quick hug, and added, “Take care of yourself, and don’t get hurt again.”
Feeling reluctant, Marcus gently kissed the top of Cassie’s head and said, “Alright, you should go now. Mrs. Murphy must be waiting for you.”
“Okay.” Cassie nodded and got into the car.
Marcus watched as Cassie’s car drove off, his expression gradually turning somber.
