However, Kenneth was sure she wouldn’t actually do it.
“Your parents’ graves…” he said.
He still had information she needed.
As he had expected, Fanny gradually calmed down.
She couldn’t kill him by removing his oxygen mask. Being a criminal because of him wasn’t worth it.
She had to make him bear the judgment he deserved for being a murderer, under the jurisdiction of the law!
So angry she was, her fingers trembled. She suppressed her fury as best as she could.
“Tell me.”
Kenneth went on, and there was not a single trace of guilt in his voice. “Their graves are in City East Graveyard.”
That graveyard…
Fanny’s eyes lit up. “I’ve been there before!”
Kenneth was stunned. “You have? When did that happen?”
It was a few years ago, when she just started acting. She wasn’t famous at that time.
The Channings acted as her backer and paved her way in the industry with their money. While no one dared to do anything to her, many gave her the cold shoulder.
When she became the supporting actress of an A-list celebrity, their treatment of her worsened.
At that time, said celebrity was a top-notch star paid handsomely just to appear in a feature and say a few words.
As her supporting actress who shared a few scenes with her, Fanny performed very well despite the high expectations. The director even praised her.
When the crew was packing up, that actress gave direct orders forbidding everyone to give her a lift home. Not even Fanny’s own company car.
She had to walk home.
Back then, no one dared to go against the actress.
Fanny had no choice but to walk home. She didn’t expect the journey to be so long. Despite the many hours of walking till the sky turned dark, she saw absolutely no cars passing by. It was winter, and her body was almost frozen stiff.
