Chapter 455 It’s a Wrap!
“This? It was given to me by a friend.” When Veronica noticed the odd expression on Stephen’s face, she quickly followed up, “Does this bangle have an interesting backstory or something?” “I have seen it before. It—”
Stephen seemed like he was about to say something, but when he raised his gaze from the bangle to meet Veronica’s expectant eyes, he immediately looked away while he shook his head. “It looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I saw it.”

After his eyes darted away, he tilted his head to look out the window. His change of expression in that split second was all she needed to confirm that the bangle had a story behind it. Her suspicion of Hendrey only deepened with that.
Deciding she didn’t want to ask any more questions, she changed the subject. “Crazy, I will go to the crew earlier tomorrow. Remind me of things to watch out for before the shoot, okay?”

Unbeknownst to her, he had come out of the elevator again after she went into the room, and had quietly stayed outside to keep guard.
Veronica only replied, “Don’t worry about it. He happens to be on leave today.” She didn’t want Yvonne to feel burdened.
“Still, I feel bad about it. After all, Mr. Crayson isn’t young anymore and yet, he has to take care of me. It pricks my conscience. But again, I am getting discharged tomorrow.”
“Discharged?”
Her sudden mention of dischargement surprised Veronica.
And so, she told everything that happened today to Yvonne before adding regretfully, “That is why I can’t pick you up to leave the hospital tomorrow. I am really sorry.”
“Oh my God, you are starring in a movie? Am I friends with a future best actress?”
As though she was the one who was going to film tomorrow, Yvonne was elated after hearing Veronica bring it up.
Veronica didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her friend’s antics. “It is just a small and unimportant supporting role. Stop with your nonsense. Alright, get some rest soon. I have to go back to prepare. I am going to the filming location early tomorrow morning.”
She saw the other two bodyguards guarding the corridor when she entered the ward just now.
Needless to say, Yvonne’s father must have been the one who arranged these mercenaries to stay by Yvonne.
But in order to not make it too conspicuous, they only stood by the corridor instead of sitting directly outside the ward’s door.
Furthermore, they probably were bigger than a team of two who could work in shifts. It would be safe to leave Yvonne to them.
“Okay then. I wish you success tomorrow!” Yvonne cheered Veronica on.
She got up to take her child and carefully held him in her arms. Right about then, the boy woke up and started crying.
“Goodness, my little nugget. Why are you awake again?” Yvonne then waved at Veronica. “Hurry up and leave. I need to coax my honeybun.”
Veronica couldn’t help but laugh before she turned around and walked out of the ward.
She walked up to one of the mercenaries in the corridor and informed him, “You must be extra vigilant these days. Yvonne may be in danger these two days.”
Conrad is such a scary man. We have to be careful.
“Yes, Miss Murphy.” The mercenary, who was already familiar with Victoria, nodded and said nothing more.
Afterward, she brought Crayson for ramen, and then some alcohol before she finally went home.
After returning home, she had a video conference with the person-in-charge at Vincere Games. It went on until late night but when it was done, she began to search for action movies for reference.
Veronica only went to sleep in the dead of the night, and then woke up the next day to repeat her training yesterday.
Exhausted, she went home to take a shower and after changing into fresh clothes, she set off to the filming location.
When she found Larry among the crew, she asked him for his advice on things she had to pay attention to.
