Chapter: 842
Her group chat was abuzz, awash with a flood of messages. It seemed Betsy found the whole scenario uproariously funny,
evidenced by her cascade of laughing emojis. The news was just too juicy to keep under wraps!
Sarah added her two cents, “Hey, you’ll never guess what happened? A pile of resumes Landed at the studio today, and guess
who they’re from? The same folks who opposed us tooth and nail back in SJ Entertainment.”
Betsy couldn’t help herself, “The tables have turned, haven’t they?
Those who reveled in making our lives miserable are now tasting their own medicine. It’s deliciously ironic! They pranced around
the company like they owned the place, thinking they were untouchable because they were in Jasper’s good graces. Now they’re
running around like headless chickens trying to secure employment.”
Ariana felt a sense of satisfaction, reading her friends’ unleashed feelings on the chat. She opted to keep her thoughts to herself,
however.
In showbiz, choosing your allies wisely was crucial. Donna had backed the wrong contender, and those who had been in
Jasper’s inner circle were now reaping what they had sowed.
But that’s the world for you — some rise, others fall.
Suddenly, Sarah steered the conversation towards Ariana. “By the way, the premiere of Tyler’s movie is tomorrow. Fancy going
together? Mr. Spears sent a handful of invites to the studio. Betsy and the rest of the gang are gearing up to attend.”
Ariana was torn for a moment, her health issues and potential to be a nuisance weighing on her. Yet, her eagerness to witness
the result of Jayson and Tyler’s endeavors tipped the scales, and she decided to accompany them.
Sarah dropped another message into the chat, “We’ve kept a seat for Theodore at your end. Feel free to bring him along.”
Ariana paused at this, considering Theodore’s character. She doubted he would relish the event. With her uncertainties in mind,
her answer was ambiguous, “I can‘t say for sure. We’ll see.”
When Lunch rolled around, Theodore showed up at Ariana’s hospital room like clockwork.
As Ariana relished her meal, she nonchalantly proposed, “The premiere of The Missing Body is tomorrow. Sarah snagged us
some tickets. Fancy joining me?”
Ariana was taken aback when Theodore agreed so readily to her invitation. “Sure,” he responded casually.
“Really?” Ariana couldn’t trust her own ears.

Unruffled by her surprise, Theodore calmly added a juicy piece of meat to her bowl. He reasoned that since he had financially
backed the film, it only made sense to view it-especially if it meant spending the time with Ariana.
After their meal, Theodore moved on to his usual routine of preparing a selection of fresh fruits for Ariana. He carried the fruit
basket to the bathroom to rinse them while Ariana Lounged on the couch, leisurely leafing through a book.
As Ariana turned a page, a loud crash from the bathroom jolted her.
Ariana’s heart skipped a beat, figuring Theodore must have dropped something. She called out in alarm, “Everything okay in
there?”
No answer came from the bathroom. Feeling a knot of worry tighten in her chest, Ariana called out again, “Theodore?”
Yet, the silence remained. Ariana bolted toward the bathroom, swung the door wide open, and was met with the chilling sight of
Theodore sprawled unconscious on the floor.
Fear gripped Ariana as she took in the sight of Theodore’s unconscious form. She hurriedly ran to his aid and held him.
“Theodore, can you hear me?” she whispered, her voice barely audible in the silence of the room, her hands trembling as she
held him. “Don’t scare me Like this.”
As the gravity of the situation set in, Ariana hollered for Horace, who had been lingering outside the room. “Horace, help!” Her
cry for assistance echoed through the ward.
Horace was quick to react to Ariana’s distressed cry. As he dashed inside, the sight of an unconscious Theodore held by a frantic
Ariana filled his eyes. The alarming scene jolted him, and without a moment’s delay, he rushed out to fetch a doctor.
A whirlwind of medical personnel descended upon the room, and Theodore was swiftly wheeled away for emergency treatment.
