Jenny York's deliberate words, extremely clear through the phone, drilled into Lily Turner's ears. Only then did she realize that Henry Thompson was now with Jenny York, and she immediately understood that these two were provoking her.
"Henry Thompson! Tell that bitch next to you that if she likes what I've discarded so much, she can have it. Lastly, I wish you two dogs a successful departure from humanity." After angrily finishing, she hung up the phone without hesitation, and then, without stopping for a moment, she added that all-too-familiar number to the blacklist.
What Lily Turner never expected was that, because of her impulsive words, Henry Thompson withdrew his investment from the film she was currently shooting, without any reason or explanation.
The film was at a critical shooting stage, and withdrawing funding at this moment undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the production team.
Henry Thompson was the main investor in this film, and with his withdrawal, the film immediately fell into a standstill. Because both the male and female leads were top stars, the film had garnered significant attention even before shooting began. Its progress, too, was closely watched by all parties.
The sudden change in the film's situation made various paparazzi very sensitively perceive something unusual, and they began to use all means to gather information, all wanting to get the first-hand details first.
Whether it was the paparazzi, the fans, or the film production team, the first reason that came to mind for Henry Thompson's withdrawal was Lily Turner's wedding escape, making her the target of public condemnation.
Since the incident of Henry Thompson's withdrawal, the company Lily Turner was with, the Turner Family, and even the vicinity of her personal residence were frequented by paparazzi and fans.
Worried about causing trouble for her family, as soon as she learned about Henry Thompson's withdrawal, she had Freya Yeager book a hotel room. Fearing being recognized by hotel staff, Freya Yeager used a friend's ID to check in.
"You stay here first, I'll go back to the company to check things out." After settling Lily Turner, Freya Yeager left the hotel, as she knew about Henry Thompson's infidelity. Having suffered similar pain, she empathized with Lily Turner and decided to return to the company to see the situation and find a good solution.
After Freya Yeager left, Lily Turner collapsed onto the sofa, took her phone out of her bag, and just as she turned it on, the text message ringtone sounded, but she ignored the messages and dialed Alice Turner's number.
"Lily! Where are you now? Are you okay?" As soon as the call connected, Alice Turner asked anxiously from the other end.
"I'm in a hotel, sis! I'm fine, don't worry about me." Lily Turner knew well that the person most worried about her in the family was Alice Turner. For so many years, the person who truly cared for her was always this sister, who cared more for her than even her biological mother did.
Although Alice Turner didn't know exactly what happened, she knew that there must be something fishy about Henry Thompson's sudden withdrawal of investment. "Lily! What exactly happened between you and Henry? Why would he suddenly withdraw his investment?"
The situation had become so serious, there must have been very severe issues between the two of them.
"Sis! Nothing happened between us, it's just a minor misunderstanding." Lily Turner spoke with extreme ease, but her heart was unbearably heavy.
