Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Why Not Say It?
"Seriously, how could the ladder just break?" Charlotte Thompson bit her teeth tightly.
Such a critically important prop should have been checked repeatedly by the prop team at the set. How could something unexpected happen?
Oliver Hudson was also aware of this, so he immediately asked his assistant to investigate.
He stayed by Annie Anne’s hospital bed, looking at her pale, bloodless face, his palm tightening constantly beside him until his knuckles turned white.
"I know who it is! It’s Mia Carter! I saw her!"
Suddenly, Annie Anne’s young assistant spoke up in the hospital room.
Charlotte and Oliver immediately turned their heads to look at him.
The assistant was startled by their gazes, and the cellphone in his hand nearly fell to the floor.
"I saw Mia Carter enter the prop room and tamper with the ladder... Yes, I have evidence, I took a photo of it!"
Nervously, the assistant unlocked his phone and shakily showed the photo, which fell out before he could hand it over. Before he could offer it, Charlotte had already walked up to his side.
Charlotte saw the photo on the assistant’s phone.
Although it was only a profile shot, it was enough to prove the person’s identity.
Before Charlotte could speak, an arm reached out and grabbed the assistant’s neck.
The assistant was lifted off the ground, and his phone fell to the floor and shattered.
The sudden action startled Charlotte.
She turned to see Oliver Hudson, his face cold as he gripped the assistant, his words coming out coldly one by one,
"Since you’ve known for a while, why didn’t you speak up?"
The assistant grasped tightly at Oliver’s wrist; his face was flushed red, and his legs flailed involuntarily.
"I... I..."
His lips trembled, but he couldn’t complete his sentence.
"Just calm down for a moment."
Seeing the assistant struggling to breathe, Charlotte tried to intervene.
But Oliver ignored Charlotte and kept his focus and grip on the assistant.
"Oliver Hudson!"
Charlotte’s pupils dilated and her voice raised in alarm.
Just then, the hospital room door opened, and Justin Battleson walked in and saw the scene.
Upon seeing Justin, Charlotte immediately signaled for him to stop Oliver.
Understanding her, Justin stepped forward and grabbed Oliver’s arm.
Oliver solemnly turned his head, glanced at Justin, and then released his hand.
The assistant collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath, clutching his neck and coughing wildly. His already thin frame shook uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing this, Charlotte immediately knelt down and patted his back.
The assistant was clearly terrified, and Charlotte’s touch made him flinch.
"Oliver, you were too impulsive," Charlotte said reproachfully.
She wanted to know what was really going on, but she naturally disapproved of Oliver’s almost lethal actions.
"What happened?"
Justin had gotten a call from Charlotte knowing that something happened to Annie at the set, so he rushed to the hospital.
He looked at Oliver’s face, and knowing Oliver’s personality well due to their long acquaintance, Justin was well aware.
Such a calm and self-contained person, why would he suddenly attempt to kill someone?
But the next second, as Justin looked at Annie lying on the hospital bed, he couldn’t help but feel a shock.
