Episode 651: Who Took This Photo?
Kaleidoscope was the first to break the news about Richard's
latest scandal. The moment the story reached Emma, she could only look at Eliza
with concern. Eliza, oblivious at first, grew pale when she saw the photo on
Emma's phone. She immediately tried calling Richard, who, having spent the
night caring for Bridget, was passed out on her sofa.
"I can guarantee this isn't what it seems," Emma
reassured her, but Eliza could only stutter, pointing at the photo. "Trust
me, this must be a misunderstanding," Emma insisted, guiding Eliza to the
sofa. Eliza was more concerned about Bridget than anything else; her daughter’s
safety and well-being came first, not her public image.
Eliza couldn't understand why this was happening, especially
after signing a promising job contract. She knew Richard well enough to believe
he wouldn't betray her trust. Emma's confidence helped calm her down, but doubt
still lingered. Seeing Eliza suffer troubled Emma deeply; she couldn't just
watch from the sidelines. She called Louise to get the names of the producers
and directors of "The Savage Wars."

Richard, meanwhile, was abruptly awakened by Annie's voice.
She handed him her phone, showing the notification she received. Realizing he
missed dozens of calls, including several from Eliza, he rushed to the bathroom
to splash water on his face and regain his composure. It dawned on him that
only one person could have taken the photo. He confronted Annie, accusing her,
but she denied it, maintaining her innocence.
"If I find out you did this, I'll spread as much
nonsense about you as you did about us," he warned. Annie's sincere
expression made him second-guess his accusation, but he remained wary. Bridget,
sensing the tension, asked what was going on. Richard, picking up his jacket,
suggested she ask Annie and left, advising her to stay inside.
Bridget, puzzled, turned to Annie, who tearfully denied any
involvement. Bridget feared the scandal could ruin her career. She questioned
Annie's integrity but was met with plausible excuses. Annie claimed she was
also sick and unaware of any wrongdoing, thus unable to vouch for Richard.
Bridget, determined to support Richard, attempted to leave
but was stopped by Annie, who pointed out the reporters swarming the building.
Bridget, skeptical, wondered how Richard managed to leave unnoticed. Annie,
changing her stance, offered to vouch for Richard, emphasizing there was never
anything between them. Reluctantly, Bridget agreed to wait for Richard to
handle the situation.
Annie retreated to her room, while Bridget, distrustful,
called Emma for advice. Emma laughed at Bridget's plan to have Annie vouch for
her, pointing out Annie's testimony would be worthless to the public.
Episode 652: An Industry Style Lesson
Emma suspected Annie was behind the scandal and warned Bridget that keeping her close only gave her more opportunities to cause harm. Bridget, unused to such underhanded tactics, felt out of her depth. She didn't want people to slander Richard, whom she might have treated unfairly in the past.
Emma, sensing Bridget's defensiveness, advised patience.
Acting rashly would only make things worse. Bridget considered various
aggressive approaches, but Emma dismissed them as ineffective and likely to
backfire.
Bridget decided to investigate methodically. She realized
the photo's angle indicated it was taken from Annie's doorway. Confronting
Annie with this observation, she took a comparison photo from the same spot.
Annie, initially silent, eventually admitted to taking the photo, justifying
her actions with grievances about Richard's favoritism toward Bridget.

Annie's confession revealed her resentment towards Richard,
who she felt had treated her unfairly during the casting of "The Savage
Wars." Bridget, shocked by the extent of Richard's efforts to support her,
realized the depth of Annie's jealousy.
In a moment of rage, Bridget nearly attacked Annie but was
interrupted by two bodyguards who violently restrained her. Annie gloated,
recounting how she had sabotaged Bridget's career opportunities. Despite the
beating, Bridget vowed revenge.
Annie's actions stemmed from her belief that Richard had
manipulated situations to favor Bridget, leaving Annie feeling betrayed and
undervalued. Bridget's realization of Richard's support and Annie's betrayal
marked a turning point in her understanding of the industry's ruthless
dynamics. She resolved to navigate this new landscape carefully, seeking
justice for herself and Richard while contending with Annie's malevolent
schemes.
