Chapter 424 Getting the Evidence
She would rather let everything go back to the past, for the last thing she wanted to see was that the thing was exposed and Layton was in a terrible situation...
Layton had never told Mollie the plan for the whole thing, so Mollie could only rely on her guess. Due to this reason, she didn't suspect the authenticity of the call.
That night, Mollie left the hotel alone and drove to a late-night bar.
But even after waiting for a long while, she still didn't see Layton, but when she was about to leave, she received a call from Robert.
"I am being pestered by a few reporters and can't go. You can go back first and wait for my call."
Hearing this, Mollie became very scared and didn't suspect the call at all. Then she hurried back to the hotel even without noticing anyone following her.
The person who was sent by Jack to follow Mollie was very sophisticated. After confirming that Mollie had returned to the hotel, two people returned to the late-night bar. Soon, they learned that Layton and Mollie often went there on dates, and they also got their records of checking into the nearby hotel rooms.
The hotel only allowed its private members to get rooms, and its confidentiality work was done quite well, but if money was offered, some staff members were willing to take out a few photos to sell. After all, there are no walls without ears in the world, so there was always someone who would leak those photos.
At the same time, Bill had found the place where the suspected evildoer had recently been to and believed that he could catch the man in one day.
Anna was relieved only after getting these pieces of evidence.
"Anna is really smart!" Mary said admiringly beside her.
"Could the evidence be gained without my acting skills?" Robert frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.
"Now I'm waiting for Bill to catch that person." Mary did not quarrel with him but joined her palms before her, praying sincerely.
Robert simply took her and walked out. "Well, I have nothing to do here, so I’m living now."
Mary had to wave her hand to Anna. "Anna, if you need me for something, please come to me at any time! Hey, take care."
Robert had been resting recently, so he used different ways to make Mary stay with him every day. Over time, Mary had become used to this way of getting along.
Since Jack had taken the responsibility to protect Anna, the problem would be resolved smoothly.
It had been three days since the late-night attack that day. It was unknown if he was worried that Anna would find more evidence, but the situation was that Layton had announced to hold a press conference to disclose the attack that day.
Since many people were involved in this incident and this also had connections to Anna and Dahlia Entertainment, the reporters were very curious about the truth of the matter. Before the time for the press conference to be officially held, the site was already crowded with reporters from the major media.
When Layton was pushed into the press conference site in a wheelchair by his assistant, countless cameras were pointed at his face. In fact, only sitting there was enough for him to prove everything.
Layton's agent took the lead to speak. "Dear friends from the press, thank you very much for being here. In fact, it was indeed a helpless move for us to decide to hold this press conference. The truth
that Layton was attacked really makes us feel very sad!"
"Now the police are still investigating the case, and we can't make wild guesses. Next, let Layton himself talk about the whole process of the attack." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
At this moment, Layton was sitting in a wheelchair with gauze on his head. His health seemed not as good as before, and he didn’t have much energy. Even when he took the microphone, he still seemed to be hesitating. Only when he faced the camera flashes did he barely give a small smile.
"To be honest, now I feel that I'm dreaming."
"I didn't even know what I did wrong, and then I was suddenly attacked."
"When it happened, my assistant was taking me home. Before we reached the door, we were surrounded by a group of men wearing masks. They all had weapons in their hands, looking ferocious. I have been practicing Sanda and martial arts since I was young, so I could barely handle them, but my assistant who was with me had no ability to fight. In order to protect him, I was exhausted, and then I was stabbed with a dagger and hit on the head with a long stick by them."
"Later, my assistant found a mobile phone while avoiding their attack. There was only one number in it, which was the phone number of Anna, the artist of Dahlia Entertainment."
"I will not frame anyone without evidence, but I believe the police will give us an answer."
"It's just that someone on the filming location saw that this person had been to Anna's lounge... I don't know if there is any connection between them, so I can't say if my wounding experience today has anything to do with that woman."
Layton held the microphone tightly as if he was very angry.
His agent and assistant were by his side, and the scene was recorded by the reporters with their cameras.
Layton's agent took the microphone and continued, "Even if the conclusion the police will have reached can’t make the culprit behind the scenes succumb, our company will not swallow the insult because of the pressure from any forces within the circle!"
"If this incident indeed has connections to Anna, no matter Dahlia Entertainment is the big shot in showbiz or not, we will have to ask them for an explanation! And we will ask Anna to apologize publicly."
"Whether they had a marriage upheaval or not, Anna should be responsible for what she did! And now we can see Layton's wound. Is it that he should be attacked or even pay the price with his life only because he was interviewed by reporters and told some truth that was not good for someone?"
Sitting next to his agent, Layton was very satisfied with these words.
What they wanted was not only Anna's apology but also Dahlia Entertainment's attitude!
And he also pointed out that the reason why he was attacked by those evildoers hired by Anna was that he had told what he saw and heard in the crew as a bystander. This was why he was maliciously targeted by Anna. But why did Anna act so fearlessly? The only explanation was that Jack protected her and connived at her!
The reporters raised their microphones, wanting to interview Layton further.
Now Layton could guide the development of the situation by merely saying a few simple words. Since he had completely shown that he was a victim, then who could connect the culprit behind the scenes to him?
But the price was so high to have made such a trick of having himself tortured to win public trust.
But now everyone had overlooked one point that Layton himself was an actor with great acting skills, and it was not difficult for him to act like a poor wounded person...
"This is really big news. Now, what attitude does Dahlia Entertainment hold? Does it still want to protect Anna?"
"Can those who have power step on human lives at will? Dahlia Entertainment used to have a good reputation, but why has the news content become so intolerable to the eye since Anna became its contracted artist?"
"And Anna was also reported earlier that her marriage was in upheaval and she was bedded under the unspoken rules, and now she hired evildoers to attack her colleague. The stars in that circle really have a disorderly life!"
"She was able to force Jack to marry her at the beginning because she used unscrupulous means, right? Time reveals a person's true heart. They've just announced their marriage for a short time..."
