Chapter 513 Found Some Leads
Evelyn sat up with difficulty and shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy."
When Carrie saw that Evelyn didn't look too well, she curiously reached out her hand and touched her forehead.
"Alas, Evelyn, you have a fever."
Confused, Evelyn was a little surprised. She also reached out to touch her forehead.
But because she had a fever, and her body temperature was high too, she didn't feel much when she touched it.
It was just that she was feeling really dizzy that she couldn't even see anything clearly.
Carrie got anxious and wanted to call the doctor, but was stopped by Evelyn.
"Don't call first." She reached out her hand weakly to stop Carrie. After thinking for a while, she said, "Help me ask Wes for a leave. Tell him that I won't go back to the set tonight. Make sure you go to him in person. Don't let too many people see you. We can go to the hospital by ourselves."
Carrie was still worried. "But your current state..."
"It's okay. It's not a big deal. At most, I just caught the flu because I was in the water just now. Besides, I'm on my period. It won't kill."
Carrie bit her lip, and finally, she had no choice but to listen to her.
Carrie explained Evelyn's condition to Wes in private. Wes was being quite reasonable, but he was not too happy that Evelyn had tried to hide fact that she was feeling unwell from him.
He had the feeling that Evelyn had tried to make him look bad.
Carrie didn't bother to argue with him anymore. Judging from his attitude towards Evelyn yesterday, why didn't he think of the reason Evelyn had deliberately kept him in the dark?
Carrie came back in a hurry and called the driver over. Soon, she accompanied Evelyn to the hospital.
On the other side, even Carrie had not tell anyone else about it, everyone still found out that Evelyn went to the hospital after she finished her filming.
But it was not appropriate to let everyone know that Evelyn was on her period.
Therefore, what everyone heard was that Evelyn went to the hospital after filming a water scene today and staying in the water for only one or two minutes.
Some people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Look at how pampered she is. Is it all because she is an A-lister?"
"I'm afraid that the driver had to drive faster, otherwise, she would be recovered before she arrived at the hospital."
Because Rita also had a scene in the water in the afternoon, but the difference was that it was bathing scene.
The advantage of this kind of scene was it was not too tiring as it did not involve any fight scene. You just needed to sit in the water.
The downside was that she had stayed in the water for a long time. Moreover, it was an outdoor scene. It would still be very cold over time.
However, Rita still perfectly completed the filming. After that, she even requested for filming another few takes, hoping to choose the best one among them.
This was in a stark contrast with Evelyn who had only completed a scene after a few takes.
In an instant, Evelyn turned from a kind-hearted beauty into a scheming b*tch who was pampered.
Rita, whose popularity had been mediocre, suddenly became a perfect angel with strong work ethics in everyone's eyes.
Some people secretly lamented. The entertainment industry was indeed an unreasonable place. Some people worked hard over a decade, but they were still unable to hit it big compared with those with stunning appearance.
After all, this was a world where appearance mattered the most.
The rumor that Evelyn wasn't deserving of her role quietly spread in the crew.
As for the news of Evelyn putting on airs and bullying the female actors of the same series and making a fuss over the trifles, it only took one day for even the crew next door to know about it.
Coincidentally, during this period of time, Lauren was filming on the set beside. It was also a woman centric historical series.
After hearing this news, Lauren was a bit surprised.
Because she knew that Evelyn was a celebrity who worked under Clarissa, and because of Clarissa, they had met each other several occasions.
Although they rarely talked to each other, they could be counted as friends.
Since it was not appropriate to ask Evelyn face to face about such a matter, she had told Clarissa about it.
Ever since Clarissa gave birth to her baby, she had retired from on-screen work.
In the past, she always thought that the filming was fun. However, ever since Mart was born, she preferred to stay at home and look after her son rather than to live on-set.
Therefore, during this period of time, she had been staying in Starbay Villa. She just needed to drop by Energence International Corp and Starlight every day, since she had began to work behind the scenes.
When she received Lauren's call, she was a little surprised. After hearing what Lauren had to say, she couldn't help frowning.
That was because up till now, she was very familiar with both Evelyn's status and her capability.
Her popularity was high too. Now, Evelyn was making steady progress, hence, there was not much for Clarissa to worry about.
Clarissa was busy with managing the Energence International Corp. Therefore, she had delegated all her power to Millie and Marissa to be in charge with Evelyn's career.
But Clarissa had not seen this coming.
She thought for a moment and said, "I got it. I'll send someone to follow up."
When Lauren heard this, she didn't say anything more to her and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Clarissa immediately called Marissa.
Marissa was also very surprised when she heard about this. She told Clarissa that she would immediately look into the matter and report to her later.
After all, it was just a rumor. Therefore, Clarissa didn't take it to heart.
During this period, there was news from F Country, saying that they had found a witness to Mark's death.
The witness claimed that he happened to pass by at that time. He did not see Mark die but instead saw a man in a black leather jacket coming out of the corridor.
Because it was very dark, and there were no street lights around, he couldn't see that person's appearance too clearly.
He could only vaguely recognize that the other party seemed to be a foreigner.
Although it was not a particular useful lead, at least, it had given Clarissa some directions.
F Country had a few associations, in addition to the Sapphire family, there was the Lost Vanguard.
However, there was another group in Uqobia, which could be easily overlooked by everyone.
That was the Icarus Association.
This organization was established in the last century by a group of people who went abroad for refuge, which had the objective of supporting each other.
After the war was put to a halt and it was safe, the association did not disband. Instead, it had turned into a social organization.
Because the members had always been low-key usually, only a few people would notice it.
It was also because it had a large number of members that it had branches everywhere. Despite that, they lacked connections to each other.
To put it nicely, it was an association; to put it bluntly, it was just a mere title.
Because of this, no one paid any more attention to it.
Usually, very few people would mention the Icarus Association albeit it had been established for more than a hundred years. If it weren't for this incident, Clarissa wouldn't have thought that such an organization existed.
She frowned and lost in her thoughts.
Although she was not sure that this incident had anything to do with the Icarus Association, if the murderer was a foreigner, the Icarus Association could be a starting point of their investigation rather than finding a needle in a haystack.
