Alice Turner had been busy all night. Just over an hour ago, she couldn't fight it any longer and fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes from exhaustion.
Why is her big sister sleeping so deeply today? Usually, she would open her eyes the moment I come in, but today there isn't a sound from her.
Lily Turner, not knowing the situation, felt puzzled as she looked at Alice sleeping so soundly. She bent over and touched Alice's forehead; the temperature was normal, no fever.
Her breathing was steady, and everything seemed so normal, not showing any signs of illness.
After confirming that Alice wasn't ill, Lily Turner didn't bother to worry about why Alice was sleeping so heavily. She reached out and picked up the phone lying next to Alice's pillow.
Alice had fallen asleep the moment she closed her eyes, without having time to log off from the forum where she had posted. As Lily opened the phone, she was greeted by the heated posts being discussed.
There were too many responses for Lily to take in at once. She glanced at the original post and realized that Alice had uploaded those photos and videos online the night before and even revealed an affair between two people as an insider, continuously replying to posts and comments.
Turns out her sister was this sleepy because she stayed up late helping her vent and ended up this exhausted.
Sis! Thank you!
Whispering a thank-you to the sleeping Alice, Lily Turner took Alice's phone and walked out, going to her room to make a call.
After dialing Easton Holmes' number using Alice's phone, Lily heard the same "phone turned off" message as before when she used her phone to call.
Unwilling to give up, she dialed repeatedly several times, but the result was the same every time. Even when dialing Luke Crowe's number, it was the same; the phone was still off.
Lily took a glance at the time displayed on the phone—it was already half past seven. What on earth were those two men doing? Could they still be sleeping at this hour?
Deleting the call log she had just made on Alice's phone, Lily picked up her phone again and composed a text message to Easton Holmes.
"Hello! This is Lily Turner. Call back ASAP after turning on your phone, urgent!!!"
To emphasize her urgency, Lily added three exclamation points at the end, hoping that the person on the other end would call back quickly after turning on the phone.
She originally thought she would get a call back in an hour or two, but Lily waited for three whole days without getting any response, causing her significant anxiety.
Due to her worries, she became quite unfocused when acting, leading to dissatisfaction from the director and her co-actors.
Everyone's an actor, and the co-actors might be too polite to say something, but the director wasn't holding back and pulled Lily aside to give her a serious talk.
"Director Zhang! I'm sorry, I'll make sure to pay attention."
Seeing the director so angry made Lily realize her performances in the past few days must have been poor. She quickly apologized to the director.
"You're not new to the entertainment circle; you should be used to dealing with certain things by now. Focus on your acting and let go of those distractions," the director remarked pointedly and turned to walk toward the shooting set.
Just then, her assistant Helena ran over, "Lily, you've got a phone call."
