Nell had no idea how Gideon convinced those people to not reveal to the public that she had been found. Since he did his part, she must pour in more effort to make this plan work.
At night, when it was quiet, Nell asked Nancy to help her with a simple disguise so that she could escape the hospital while the doctors and nurses were not looking. Then, she made her way back to Leith Manor.
Gideon did not say anything because Nell had only suffered flesh wounds and there was also a doctor at standby in the manor, who was as good as the doctors in the hospital.
After they came home, Gideon sent more than half of the servants back for a week’s off. He only kept Aunt Joyce and another long-time servant who was in charge of the kitchen.
Aunt Joyce did not know anything about their plan but she was not a busybody. Since Gideon did not utter a word, she did not ask.
Rumors about Nell being abducted went wild. Everyone was guessing who had abducted her and for what purpose.
Some said it was because Nell had offended someone at work; some said the abductor was jealous of her popularity.
Some even said it was because of love.
After all, in the past few months, Nell’s love life became the focus of the spotlight several times and occupied the search trends for quite a while. The mysterious plot behind her story was too confusing for the public to understand.
Regardless of which, no matter what the mass said, everyone was able to come to a common opinion at her encounter, which was curiosity and sympathy.
She had just made her debut recently and yet she was abducted. Even if it was someone else, if something really happened in the process, it would be a pity.
Strange enough, despite the tons of speculations online, no one had suspected Celine to be the mastermind behind the abduction.
Maybe because her image of being a simple and soft girl had rooted itself in people’s minds. Despite all the scandals about her in the past year, everyone simply thought she was not as simple and soft as she was in front of the camera. As for something as serious as an abduction, no one believed she would do it.
Until the second night, a famous verified entertainment page released a recording clip online.
The recording was quite long, almost 10 minutes in length. Even though the voice was altered, it was obvious that the owner of the voice was a girl.
The voice explained in detail how Celine had instigated her to hurt Nell.
Not only did the voice say she filmed Nell in secret and stalked her, she even confessed that she tried to drug Nell and Director Tim, and framed them having an affair.
Aside from that, the voice also revealed some other trivial matters that had happened among the crew members like buying the catering staff to give Nell the worst food, preparing only cold drinks for her during her period, and giving excuses like the water heater was broken when she asked for warm drinks.
Even though they were all trivial matters, they sounded disgusting when added up together.
When the recording was released online, it shocked the entire fan circle.
The fans did not expect the polite and kind Celine would bully Nell and do something this scary, especially the attempt of drugging her food and drinks. Nell had confessed about that incident during an interview but back then, only a handful of people believed her.
Now when the incident was talked about by someone else, the credibility was a lot higher.
Despite that, there were quite a number of people who had suspected the validity of the recording itself.
After all, a recording was not as convincing as a video. No one knew who the owner of the voice was. If someone wanted to use the recording to frame others, anyone speaking in the recording would do it.
