Chapter 492
Esther wasn’t an ordinary celebrity, and her popularity had doubled. Her relationship status also garnered significant attention, especially given her involvement with her co-star in the upcoming film.
Who would doubt that these two were framed?
Besides, Esther had previously publicly confessed her feelings for Mobius. Her public image would suffer if she were to be misunderstood as two-timing. This could lead to losing popularity among fans, a defection of her dedicated followers, and potentially an upsurge in Hanzel’s fanbase. In this case, Esther’s career in the entertainment industry could be seriously jeopardized.
This person wasn’t merely trying to get publicity. They clearly intend to push Esther into a dire situation!
Pearl’s heart raced as she took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not worry about this right now. I’ll handle it.”
No matter what, Esther’s reputation for sleeping with someone had been completely solidified. They had to figure out a way to salvage the situation.
“Alright, let’s go in and ch*ck on them,” said Mobius, his fists clenched. Despite his uneasy mood, he hadn’t forgotten Esther’s current situation.
“Hold on.” Pearl cleared her throat. “Esther… uh, she’s in quite a mess now. I should help her change first.”
Richard narrowed his eyes and asked, “Does that mean even Hanzel is…
He didn’t want his girlfriend to see another man’s b*dy. Perhaps Hanzel hadn’t been
exercising since he had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and was out of shape!
Pearl rolled her eyes. “At a time like this, do you think it’s appropriate to get a male assistant when we want to protect a young lady’s reputation?”
“Well, we can get a female assistant.”
Pearl immediately showed an exaggerated expression. “A female assistant? Aren’t there enough people who know about this matter already?”
“Alright then, just this once.” Despite Richard’s discomfort, he had to endure it. After all, if they waited any longer, things would become even more complicated when the two woke up.
Pearl entered the room and quickly helped Esther put on her dress. Then, she carried her and promptly moved her to another room.
As for Hanzel, Pearl briefly glanced at him for a few seconds as she pulled Esther out. She didn’t intentionally look at him. Honestly, there wasn’t much to see. He was like a decorative pillow, more for show than substance.
Ahem, she didn’t really mean it that way.
Esther woke up after eight in the morning, while Hanzel had already been awake.
Seeing three people in front of him, Hanzel’s face revealed a subtle expression. He looked down and realized he wasn’t even wearing any clothes, and he instantly felt embarrassed.
“Guys… what happened?!”
Pearl spoke first, “You’re finally up, Hanzel! Please tell us what happened last night.”
She was genuinely concerned. After thinking about it last night, she found it increasingly suspicious and even suspected who was behind it.
“Last night…” Hanzel thought carefully and realized, “I sent Mobius and Esther back to the hotel. But on the way, we came across someone who had collapsed on the roadside, and we decided to help. As soon as we got out of the car, someone dragged Esther away. Then, about four people at the intersection took me away. Only Mobius was left, and then we were knocked unconscious. After that, I don’t remember anything else.”
Hanzel touched the back of his neck, which was still hurting.
“That means those people knew exactly where to get them. They figured out that Esther and Hanzel were in the same car.”
Hanzel thought about it and agreed, “It does seem like that.”
“There’s no need for further investigation. I pretty much know who’s behind this matter.” It couldn’t be anyone else but Jenny who could plan this well and quickly send people over.
