Chapter 465 Separating Chloe and Donovan
That night, someone removed Paisley's oxygen tank.
The next day, when Lori went to the ward, she saw that there was no exhaled air in Paisley's oxygen mask. Lori felt something was wrong. When she touched Paisley's body, it was cold, and the caregiver was not there.
The doctor had said that Paisley was not in immediate danger, so how could this happen overnight...
Could it be Donovan's doing?
Lori collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant, and then she started crying loudly. "Poor Paisley, how could you leave me alone and pass away so early? Paisley! Donovan is a bad person!"
It was still early in the day, not yet time for the nurses' rounds. Upon hearing Lori's cries, the nurses and people from the surrounding wards came in to check out the commotion.
The nurse quickly checked Paisley, handled the body, and apologized to Lori.
Lori wouldn't listen to any persuasion and wanted to file a complaint against the hospital for inadequate care.
Lori cried even louder. "Paisley, you only loved Donovan in this life, but he is a bad man. Not only did he not come to see you, but to avoid paying your medical bills, he even pulled out your oxygen tank. I want to call the police."
Someone quickly handed Lori a phone, and she dialed the police.
After a detailed investigation, the police confirmed that Paisley was murdered because they checked the video and saw someone entering Paisley's ward last night.
"What?" Lori was shocked.
She had initially intended to use Paisley's situation to tarnish Donovan’s reputation, hoping that he would be compelled to cover the medical bills. However, with Paisley's actual murder, Janet was now filled with fear and reluctant to confront Donovan.
The police launched an investigation into Paisley's murder.
However, Donovan had a clear alibi, and the police couldn't interrogate him, so they had to focus their investigation on other suspects.
Donovan thought, 'If I had known Paisley would die so soon, I wouldn't have agreed to Janet's request to find a foster family for Jake. My main goal was to uncover who Jake's father is, to provide Chloe with an explanation."
On Pamela's side, she had just announced the filming of a new drama, "Queen." It was a historical drama where the female lead aged from twenty to eighty, unlike most dramas that focused on romance. This script was personally reviewed by Pamela, and she had added many personal elements. She had never married and devoted all her energy to her career, and she would never let her female lead get entangled in love.
The role of "Cecilia Cooper," the leading lady, became highly coveted among top actresses.
Naturally, Barbara was eager to secure the role, and she felt that being part of Pamela's agency gave her a good chance of getting the role.
However, Pamela told her that in order to secure the role, Barbara must ensure that Chloe and Donovan break up. Otherwise, she wouldn't even land a minor a role as a maid in the production.
Barbara found herself in a difficult position. While she was interested in Jeffery, she was unwilling to use him to sabotage Chloe and Donovan’s relationship. She now faced the challenge of figuring out another way to fulfill Pamela’s demand.
"You always make things difficult for me. Even if they break up, I might not get the role," Barbara cursed.
At this moment, she was still in a hotel in Pearl Peak City, with the school play nearing its end of production.
"Calm down, I'll get your dad to help," Betty said.
"My dad?"
"Yes. Let him talk to Chloe about Amelia. I don't believe Chloe is that heartless." Betty also wanted Barbara to get the lead role, so she called Daniel.
