Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Draven Is under Suspicion

As soon as William finished speaking, he became more serious. “Do you remember the specific situation at that time?”

Coby shook his head. “I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly what happened, but I’m sure that there’s nothing wrong with my protective equipment before it dives into the water. Moreover, someone dragged me into the water after I was washed into the water.”

His head got hurt and he choked on water. The doctor’s diagnosis was that he had a slight concussion, so it was normal for his memory to be chaotic.

He couldn’t remember how many people entered the water, who was closer to him, and when the accident happened. He only vaguely remembered that someone was pulling him, trying to sink him

into the water.

The production team had the investment of XR Entertainment, and Jaquan also said that he could help them if they lacked money. All the protective equipment was bought with a lot of money, and it was impossible for there to be quality problems.

Moreover, before he went into the water, he and the director had repeatedly checked all the

equipment. A person might miss one or two pieces of clothes. Would there be an accident since they had checked over and over again?

What was more, Coby’s equipment was placed separately, He was the protagonist and had a high social status. Safety protection was the most important thing. It was impossible for the protective rope to be broken on his body.

In addition, Coby said that someone had dragged him in the water after the rope was broken. It could be concluded that someone in the production team had been bribed and was targeting him.

“Leave this matter to me and Jaquan. You’re injured now. Have a good rest.”

William’s face was grave, and he restrained his lazy attitude.

Coby nodded as well, and then he revealed a weak smile. “With my current state, I’m afraid it’s impossible to deal with it.”

He had been sinking in the water for too long, and there was water in his lungs. Moreover, his head was hit. Fortunately, there were many people that night, and it didn’t rain for a long time.

But this also served as a reminder for him.

“By the way, don’t tell Cierra about this thing,” Coby coughed weakly and raised his eyes to give instructions to William.

To avoid Cierra to know it, he deliberately asked Cierra to go out just now.

There were two reasons. Firstly, he didn’t want Cierra to worry. It was better for natural disasters to happen than for human hearts to be unpredictable.

Secondly, although he had encountered fierce competition from his peers in his career for so many

years,

he had never encountered such a fierce competition, which was almost aimed at his life.

If they looked further into it, the people he had recently offended in the industry was Aleah and the

Trevino Group.

The Boyle family wasn’t much of a threat, but the Trevino family clearly had the guts and financial

resources to do so.

Although he couldn’t say that the Trevino family had done it before there was any evidence, according to the current analysis, the Trevino family was the most likely culprit.

Coby didn’t want to speculate Draven. However, that Cierra was followed and almost died had something to do with the Trevino Group.

He had to suspect the Trevino family firstly.

Outside the ward, Cierra and Harold were sticking to the door. Their faces turned deathly pale.

Although they listened through a door, they could hear clearly. At the very least, they were sure that Coby’s injury was not an accident.

Cierra stood at the door for a while. It was not until Harold called her that she came to her senses.

She did not rush straight into the ward as Harold had expected. Her face was calm, but her red eyes were particularly serious.

After letting out a sigh of relief, she turned around and said, “Let’s go.”

Harold was surprised, but he followed her obediently. “Aren’t you going in to ask Coby?”

Cierra shook her head. “Since he specifically sent me away to avoid me, why should I rush up and make him worry? Besides, we haven’t eaten yet. Health is more important. So, let’s go buy something to eat first.”

It wasn’t on a whim for Cierra to eavesdrop outside the door.

Her brothers treated her very well. This time, she had come all the way from New York. Normally, Coby would not want her to go out again and would want her to rest in the ward.

This time, she was asked to go out and buy some food. Although she called Harold along, she still felt that something was hidden from her, so she did it with Harold.

As for why Coby wanted to avoid her…

Cierra’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and a trace of hostility flashed across her bright face.

“Cierra, what’s wrong?”

Harold also stopped.

Cierra shook her head and forced a smile. “Nothing, I just thought of something. I was about to tell you, but I didn’t know what to say.”

Harold stroked his head and said, “It’s normal. I’m often in the same situation.”

Cierra smiled at him. When he stepped into the elevator, the smile disappeared from her eyes, replaced by a serious expression.

If Coby’s injury was really because of Aleah, she would never let them off!

Because of his serious injury, Coby had to stay in the hospital for a few days.

The wound on his forehead was not light. The doctor had stitched a few stitches and said that there was a high chance that it would leave a scar.

In such a situation, it was obvious that he could not enter the production team to finish the rest of the scenes. It was still unknown when he would recover. The production team’s various sites and employees would have to wait with huge cost. Even the biggest investors, XR Entertainment and the Barton family, could not delay it like this. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

On the day when he was discharged from the hospital, Coby had also communicated with the director that he had to quit the production team because of his illness, and the male lead should be replaced as soon as possible.

Fortunately, this movie had just started, and many scenes had not been shot with the face of Coby. It was all about fighting. So his shots could be used directly.

Coby didn’t care about it. His accident slowed down the production team’s work.

It was good to make up for it.

However, there was no way to confirm that it was a man-made accident in the water. The police had also investigated it. The protective suit that Coby was wearing had been washed away by the water.

Judging from the video that night, it could only be concluded that it was an accident.

Coby didn’t tell the director that he thought it was man-made. They chatted it casually in the ward and sighed with emotion at that time.

“Something like this has happened a lot in the past. At that time, we were poor, and we were required to film real scenes. Many old actors were injured. Now we have all kinds of safety equipment. I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to Mr. Birley. I feel uneasy!”

The director’s name was Markel Frost. He was an old director who started his career in the martial arts theme. He hadn’t shot a movie for several years, and his previous works were all classic.

This new script in Mount Mist was also a dream that he wanted to fulfill in his later years. From the script to the selection of actors and the costume ceremony on the spot, he personally did these works. It could be said that this movie was also his final work.

He attached great importance to it. The outside world was also talking about it. The lineup was powerful and the investment was not small. Since the establishment of the project, it had been watched by various companies. He didn’t expect that such a thing would happen during the shooting.

“It’s unexpected. Since the police said it was an accident, let’s deal with it in this way.”

Coby had been prepared for this result, so he didn’t show it on his face.

The director also sighed with emotion.

Without such a good actor, the score of this movie would be much lower.

What a pity.

He got up and was about to leave when Cierra stopped him.

“Hello, Mr. Frost. I need your help with something.”
