Upon hearing Sandy's conversation with Jones, Anthony glanced at her. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a minor issue. Just take me there directly," Sandy whispered.
Anthony acknowledged and instructed Hiruma to drive them to Blueocean Apartment.
During the journey, Sandy kept her head down, chatting with Jones through her phone.
Apparently, a few days ago, while Sandy was filming, she encountered a male fan who wanted her autograph. Feeling uncomfortable, Sandy declined the request. Unfortunately, the paparazzi misunderstood the situation, and now there was a video circulating of Sandy dressed as a man, holding hands with someone and running wildly through the streets.
Sandy hadn't mentioned the reason for coming here tonight to anyone, not even Stella, and had even lied in front of her.
The only ones who knew about Sandy and Anthony coming here were Anthony and Hiruma.
But obviously, it couldn't be them in the video.
Because the video also captured Hiruma chasing after them.
"Got caught on camera?"
Just as Sandy was watching the video attentively, Anthony's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
After hearing Anthony's words, Sandy glanced at him and didn't hide the truth. "There were paparazzi over here, but... I'm curious how they recognized me."
Anthony's gaze fell on Sandy's phone. "Can I see it?"
Sandy handed him the phone.
Anthony took it and replayed the video. "This person seems to be ahead of us."
"And there are photos too."
After hearing Sandy's words, Anthony exited the video and glanced at the photos.
"They've been following you since you left home?"
Sandy nodded. "It seems like it. And they must have been waiting outside my building, otherwise they wouldn't have been so sure it was me."
Sandy was well aware of her disguise.
So the person taking the photos must have been staking out the building for more than one day.
Anthony handed the phone back to Sandy. "Does it affect you a lot?"
"It does have an impact, but I don't know if it's significant," Sandy replied, not paying much attention to such matters.
However, her biggest concern was that innocent people might get involved.
Especially Anthony and the others.
Sometimes, what you fear the most comes true.
As this thought crossed Sandy's mind, Jones called again.
Sandy answered the call, but before she could speak, Jones's voice rang out, "Sandy, do you know Aaron? Are you dating him?"
Upon hearing Jones's words, Sandy was taken aback. "Don't you know who I'm dating?"
"That's what they're saying online. There are even photos of you together, especially from the past few days, and each one looks very intimate."
"Jones, we're just friends."
"I believe what you're saying, but others won't."
After saying that, Jones paused for a moment. "And tonight, were you two together? Did a fan confess their feelings to you?"
Sandy acknowledged Jones's words with a soft "Hmm." "So you know everything?"
"That man who confessed to you tonight is dead."
As soon as Sandy heard Jones's words, her face instantly changed, and her tone involuntarily became heightened. "What are you saying?"
"That person who confessed to you tonight is dead. He was pressed into the water in a small river on the outskirts and drowned..."
Sandy didn't hear anything else Jones said after that.
"Sandy?"
Jones called her name twice on the other end of the phone before Sandy snapped out of her thoughts. "I'll come to your place right away... Actually, I'll go straight to the company. Let's meet there."
After ending the call, Sandy looked pale and turned to Hiruma, who was driving.
