Chapter 470 Defender of Souls
Lucy didn’t think she was in the wrong at all. “Do you know how vicious showbiz is? How will I work if I have a child with me? How do you expect me to work and care for a child at the same time?
“Do you know how many actresses are vying for my roles? They’re all waiting for me to screw up so they can steal my thunder!”
Abandoning her golden–girl image, Lucy seethed. “If that child had wanted to be born, then she could have at least made it worthwhile for me!
“I had to pull strings to get an ultrasound done. Can you imagine how disappointed I was to find out I was carrying a daughter? The family of the man I was seeing wanted a son!”
She clenched her fists tightly. “They kicked me out because of that wretched baby!”
Lana laughed maniacally at Lucy’s show of anger. “What did I say? Grown–ups are selfish liars!”
There was a loud crack as the camera lenses split and shattered.
Lana wrapped a hand around Lucy’s neck and lifted her into the air, her eyes filled with hatred. “Since you refuse to apologize, you shall die!”
With the cameras out of commission, the audience could not see what was happening now. The show cut off right after Lucy admitted to having an abortion and refused to apologize for it..
At once, the topic of Lucy’s former pregnancy and subsequent abortion began trending online. However, before the audience could learn more about the scandal, the screen went black. The audience flew into
panic.
“What’s going on? Is it a technical issue?” one of them typed.
“Can the production crew do something? We’ve only just gotten to the good part!” another viewer demanded.
But the production crew was panicking harder than the audience. They would be held responsible for any casualties on set regardless of the cause. To make matters worse, there was a criminal among the guests.
Dexter was close to barging into the building and clamping a hand over Lucy’s mouth himself. He couldn’t believe she would rat herself out and put his and the show’s reputation at risk.
Inside the children’s hospital, Lana tightened her grip around Lucy’s throat and hissed, “You would have made a terrible mother. If the world is as cruel as you, we don’t want any of it!”
Lucy’s feet had been lifted off the floor, and she was flailing her arms wildly in the air.
Yvonne screamed, “Lucy! Someone help her!”
Lana gazed at her with bloodshot eyes and hissed, “Are you going to stop us too?”
Lana’s hateful voice suddenly changed. When she spoke again, it was as if multiple children were crying
