“Isn’t that too ridiculous? Why don’t we follow them and take some photos? Hasn’t Bai Yu been bothering Emma a lot lately? If news of this gets out…” Yadanar immediately tried to follow the couple, but Zephaniah stopped her.
“Silly, there are security cameras…Go home and get some rest. I’ll handle this matter.”
“Awww…but, it’s so exciting,” Yadanar couldn’t hide her excitement.
Zephaniah looked at her in a helplessly doting way. After escorting her to the car, he made her wait half an hour before they returned home. As soon as they walked in through the front door, Yadanar immediately pounced upon Zephaniah and wr*pped her arms around his neck, “Did you get the evidence?”
“What do you think?” Zephaniah asked as he pinched her on the bottom.
“Why don’t we do something exciting too?”
Zephaniah knew what she was thinking, so he immediately rejected her, “You’re still young…”
“I’m already 20-years-old…”
“Go get some rest. I’m going to speak to Emma about what to do with the security footage of Bai Linlin cheating with her brother-in-law.”
“Fine, you have serious matters to tend to. Bai Yu is going to suffer…” After speaking, Yadanar slid off Zephaniah’s body.
Zephaniah patted her on the head as a bitter smile appeared on his face. This woman didn’t seem to understand the dangers of r*bbing against his body. Worst of all, he was finding it more and more difficult to control himself. If he could no longer endure one day and actually slept with her, what would he do?
Zephaniah sighed and turned around to return to his study room. He then gave Emma a phone call. But, the person to pick up was Eric.
“Errr…I didn’t mean to call Emma so late at night, but there’s something that I really want to share with her.”
“Uh huh, I guess you’re a qualified girlfriend of hers,” Eric said as he raised an eyebrow.
Zephaniah held his head helplessly. Although he didn’t want to admit that he was like a woman in Eric’s mind, in front of Eric, he had to admit defeat.
“Keke, well…Yadanar and I attended a celebration dinner today. But, we ran into Bai Linlin and Bai Yu’s husband having an affair at the hotel. Due to the fact that Bai Yu has been clinging to Emma, I thought this information would be of use to you guys. So, I went to the security office and secured a copy of the surveillance footage.”
“You don’t need to make a phone call about something like this,” Eric said coldly.
Zephaniah could have said that he had things to tell Emma that he didn’t want Eric to know about. But he didn’t.
Above all, it wasn’t his responsibilty to catch the adulterous couple. Couldn’t Eric at least be thankful?
If this was in the past, he would have questioned Eric. But now, due to guilt, he could only stare at Eric and let him be right.
“What did Zephaniah say?” Emma was actually standing by Eric’s side feeding the babies.
“He discovered Bai Linlin having an affair with Bai Yu’s husband,” Eric said as he put down his phone.
Emma was a little stunned but quickly accepted it, “It doesn’t really come as a surprise. Bai Linlin is young and beautiful, whereas Bai Yu is ambitious and ruthless. Any man would go for the first option.”
“I wouldn’t,” Eric looked at Emma seriously. “My every choice is you.”
Recently, Emma discovered that she had turned into Eric’s fangirl. She had become a lot more obsessed with this man. Everytime she discovered something new about him, she would wonder if there was anything that he couldn’t do.
After putting down her babies, Emma tugged on Eric’s shirt and pulled him closer to her, “I still have a debt to collect.”
Eric smiled as he followed Emma into their bedroom.
“How many other things have you not told me?” Emma asked as she p**ssed Eric against the wall. “After marrying you for so long, I’ve realized that there is still so much to discover about you. Mr. Roberts, you sure know how to surprise and delight me.”
“Doesn’t it make you more attracted to me?” Eric asked with a smile. “But that can’t be right Mrs Roberts, I feel like the thing that attracts you the most about me is something else…”
“You…” Before Emma could finish talking, Eric lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bed.
“Mrs Roberts, I can’t hear a word you’re saying at the moment. All I can think about…is having you.”
Throughout their day of filming, especially when they acted alongside each other, the majority of their scenes were heartbreaking. It was a combination of love and hate; of being in love, but not being able to be together. Everytime she experienced scenes like this, Emma would reflect on herself and be even more grateful for the man before her and their family.
…
‘The Forensic Concubine’ ended up filming for a good few months and remained under wr*ps the entire time. At this point, there were still a few big scenes that had not been filmed yet.
Perhaps to speed up the progress, after causing trouble bet**en Kaleidoscope and fans of the novel, Bai Yu went under the radar for a while and placed her focus on ‘Concubine Emma’. Actually, when it came to acting, she really wasn’t bad. However, she acted kind while playing vicious tricks, which was much too disgusting.
After Zephaniah handed the evidence of Bai Linlin cheating with Bai Yu’s husband to Eric, Eric was in no rush to put it to use. After all, Mr. Roborts had always been black-bellied. He knew that good things should be used where they made the biggest impact because that was the most effective way to utilize a resource.
Before anyone knew it, the time of year with the most award ceremonies came around again.
As ‘Concubine Emma’ reached its completion, Bai Yu began to attend many promotional events. Of course, she continued to appear in front of everyone with her fake smile and spoke words of fake kindness. But, everytime she went out at night, ‘someone’ would help her ‘take good care’ of her husband.
“‘Concubine Emma’ is scheduled for the 15th of the new year. Their aim is to be released before ‘The Forensic Concubine’. Whenever two ancient dramas are released around the same time, the one to be released first always holds the advantage. Firstly, viewers always favor whoever comes first. Secondly, when two similar things follow each other, the viewer will easily get bored. Moreover, ‘Concubine Emma’ has secured a place on the best channel and is due to be broadcast during primetime. This is definitely not beneficial for us.”
During a meeting at Kaleidoscope, an executive in charge of operations began to voice his opinion.
“Bai Yu has always had a good relationship with the public and her image has been well-maintained. Even though she previously had a falling out with us, when we look at the bigger picture, the crew of ‘Concubine Emma’ has kept everything under control.”
“Most importantly, we have yet to reveal our male lead. After the first round of promotions, the anticipation for ‘Concubine Emma’ has doubled in comparison to us.”
“Mr. Roborts, ‘The Forensic Concubine’ hasn’t finished filming yet. What should we do? Are we going to vie for a vacation release instead? If that’s the case, we will miss out on this year’s Sky Honor Awards.”
“Who said that we will have a later release date than ‘Concubine Emma’?” Eric asked the people in the room. “‘Concubine Emma’ has indeed secured a place on the best channel during primetime, but they are merely occupying the weekday time slots. What about Saturday and Sunday?”
“Weekends are ruled by variety shows…”
“What about after the variety shows are over?”
“Is Mr. Roborts trying to say that we will take the weekend time slot?”
Eric was going to let ‘Concubine Emma’ promote in whatever way they wanted. After all, he had plenty of explosive information in his hands. If he was to reveal it, ‘Concubine Emma’ would become nothing. Most importantly, he had evidence that Bai Linlin was cheating with Bai Yu’s husband. But the thing was, since Bai Yu was the victim, he couldn’t reveal it to the public; he had to deal with it in private. Because, he knew that if he was to reveal it to the public, Bai Yu would end up gaining sympathy.
It was during this decisive stage that something big happened to the crew of ‘The Forensic Concubine’.
Due to the weather and the negligence of the production crew, Director Ferdinand ended up getting into an accident during filming and was sent directly to the hospital.
Soon, news of this was leaked and a variety of speculations began to form.
“I heard that Director Ferdinand fell off a cliff and died…”
“I heard that the location where ‘The Forensic Concubine’ was filmed is cursed. There have already been multiple deaths there.”
“Oh no, how unlucky…”
“I also heard that when Director Ferdinand died, his head was separated from his body. How terrifying!”
Regardless of the rumors, one thing was for sure: ‘The Forensic Concubine’ would need to be suspended and its progress delayed.
Actually, regarding a matter like this, all Kaleidoscope had to do was step forward and clarify the situation and the truth would be revealed. But, the distressing thing was, Director Ferdinand’s legs were currently not very convenient to do so.
…
“Even God is on my side,” Bai Yu sneered after reading the news. “Let’s see how long this tattered crew can hold on.”
“There’s actually no need to be worried, Yu Jie. The ratings will eventually prove who the real winner is,” her assistant comforted.
“In that case, help me keep a close eye on the competition. ‘Concubine Emma’ is almost due for release, I don’t want any accidents to happen,” Bai Yu instructed coldly.
As Emma was aware of the history bet**en Bai Yu and Huangfu Shuo, she decided to tell him that Bai Linlin and Bai Yu’s husband were having an affair to help him relieve his anger. But, after Huangfu Shuo finished listening to Emma, he did not feel as satisfied as he would have before. It wasn’t because he didn’t hate Bai Yu, it was because he understood one thing: no matter how badly Bai Yu treated him in the past, he had to control himself. He knew that everything Bai Yu owed him would eventually be returned.
Due to the accident on the set of ‘The Forensic Concubine’, Eric gave the entire crew a break. During this time, Huangfu Shuo came across Bai Yu at a hotel. As he looked at her husband standing beside her, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of ridicule.
