Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 4

Jonathan asked Millard to investigate the woman who jumped out of the window that day, so Millard immediately checked the surveillance footage of the Sapphire Hotel.

Oddly enough, there was a blank space in the footage between 7 and 9 PM. Even the hotel's security personnel couldn't explain. They could only guess that the internet connection might have been lost at that time.-

But Millard still found someone---Hattie.

Hattie was a small-time actress going for an innocent and gentle image, never quite making it big. She was seen entering the Sapphire Hotel at 6:50 PM yesterday, heading towards the Pearl Place. After that, there was a gap in the surveillance footage, so it wasn't clear which room she went to.

At 9:05 PM, Hattie's agent helped her exit from the Pearl Place. She was limping with a pain-filled expression, clearly injured.

Since the footage after that was gone, Millard took some time to find out which hospital Hattie was staying at. She had undergone surgery on her left leg the night before.

Millard had also checked her medical records: it was a fall injury.

Hope Hospital

In VIP room 706, the woman lying on the bed clasped her hands together, looking uneasy at Jonathan sitting on the sofa across from her. "Mr. Lamont, may I help you?"

"How did you hurt your leg?" Jonathan asked nonchalantly.

Hattie, with her leg in a cast, hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"You don't have to hide it. I had someone check the surveillance footage. Last night around 9 o'clock, your agent helped you get into a car and leave. Your leg was already broken at that time. You're the one who jumped out of my room that night, right?" Jonathan's tone was as indifferent as ever.

Since there were no cameras facing the guests' room windows in the Sapphire Hotel due to privacy concerns, it was unclear where Hattie had jumped from. However, her movements were consistent with the events of that night.

Hattie was momentarily stunned, then glanced over with confusion in her eyes, her mind already working on a plan.

Her agent, standing beside her, didn't dare to interrupt.

Jonathan crossed his legs and said calmly, "Don't be afraid. As I've said before, if you help me, I'll make it up to you."

Millard put a bank card on the table, with a straight face. "There's 10 million in it. Don't ever mention that night again."

Biting her lower lip, Hattie hesitated for a moment before responding, "I don't want the money. I um... I wanted to do that... And please rest assured, Mr. Lamont, I won't say anything to anyone."

"I always keep my word. If you don't want the money, you can make another request." Jonathan spoke up.

Seeing her agent giving her a signal with the eye, Hattie squeezed her palms tightly and cautiously said, "I don't want anything. If, if Mr. Lamont don't mind, just treat me as a friend."

Jonathan interrupted her coldly, "I think it would be better if you made a more practical request!"

Hattie's face turned a shade paler, looking awkward and embarrassed. After some thought, she said, "I don't want to stay in my current company anymore. Can Mr. Lamont help with that?"

Jonathan paused before responding, "Would you like to join Lamont Group's Firefly Media Group?"

The agent's eyes lit up. Firefly Media Group was one of the top entertainment companies in the country, which had produced countless first-tier stars. Once they joined Firefly Media Group, resources wouldn't be a problem!

Hattie's eyes softened, and she nodded gently. "Thank you, Mr. Lamont."

Jonathan stood up. "I'll have Aaron from Firefly Media Group contact you regarding contracts. As for the penalty fee with your current company, he will help you sort that out as well."

Hattie thanked him again, her voice soft and gentle. Her pale face from the injury made her look even more pitiful.

As Jonathan was leaving, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Why did you go to my room last night?"

Hattie was taken aback but quickly replied, "I was supposed to go to the room next door for an audition, but I got the wrong room."
