The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy

“No,” Damian Brown said, “it must be something important.”

“What could be so important that it takes so long to discuss?” James Collins murmured.

“I don’t know. Be quiet.”

James Collins: “Oh.”

The office on the rooftop.

Charlotte Lane sat on the table, and Luke sat in a chair more than three meters away from her.

Charlotte Lane appeared calm, but Luke’s brows remained furrowed.

The two were quiet for a while before Luke said, “Big Boss, I still hope you can reconsider.”

Charlotte Lane made an affirmative sound.

Luke could sense her perfunctory response, but he did not dare to say more.

“How’s the girl?” Charlotte Lane suddenly asked.

“Her mental state is still not very good. She often isn’t very conscious,” Luke said. “The psychologist has been with her all the time.”

Some time ago, the Hundred Demons Pavilion had a confrontation with Edward Kirsten’s people.

Luke rarely went on missions to the M Continent, but when he did, he happened to clash with Alice Eugene.

At that time, Luke had completed his mission and was preparing to return to the Mountain Sea Continent with the cargo when he encountered a convoy halfway there.

There were many forces in that area, so it wasn’t surprising to encounter people, organizations, or alliances.

If neither side wanted to fight, they would both pass by without incident.

If they wanted to fight, they would have a skirmish.

That was just the way of life.

It was just a convoy carrying seemingly nothing of value, so Luke didn’t pay much attention to it.

However… they didn’t make a move first, but the other party began to attack.

It seemed like a spontaneous decision, wanting to intercept their cargo.

Thus, the two sides quickly started fighting.

The other party knew that they were from the Hundred Demons Pavilion, but they didn’t know who the other party was.

Luke didn’t care who they were either. He just wanted to finish the battle quickly and return home.

But during the fight, a girl suddenly ran down from the other party’s car and rushed into the battle scene, clutching her head and running around while screaming.

Luke felt that the girl’s scream at one point was louder than the sound of gunshots.

It quickly captured his attention.

He looked over and, upon seeing the girl’s face, instinctively charged out to bring her back.

Just as he reached the girl, he heard someone from the other side shout, “Lady Alice, that girl has run away.”

Soon, a masked woman came over and began fighting him, trying to take the girl away.

Although he had never seen Alice before, Luke was all too familiar with her name.

He had planned to take the girl away, but now that Alice wanted to snatch her away, he couldn’t let her go even more.

The two sides fought, and neither Luke nor Alice gained an upper hand.

However, Alice’s side ran out of firepower, so they had to withdraw.

After all, the Hundred Demons Pavilion had cargo in its car, and in terms of firepower, they were far better than Alice’s side.

Some people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion were captured, and some escaped.

But because they were carrying cargo and had just experienced a battle, they didn’t pursue the fleeing figures, as it would be too easy for an incident to occur on the way. So, Luke brought the girl back with him.

The girl’s mental state was very poor, and whether it was in the car or in the room at the Hundred Demons Pavilion, she kept hiding in corners and screaming.

In one day, Luke used up all his patience on her.

Then she stopped screaming.

However, she sat in the corner hugging her knees, calling out “Brother Yabez” over and over, transfixed in her gaze.

It was like she was practicing. Each “Brother Yabez” she called out seemed to have subtle differences, as if she was constantly practicing and approaching a certain voice.

The next day, Luke found her a psychologist.

Within a week, the girl regained her consciousness for a short while.

But her speech was still intermittent.

From her illogical words, Luke pieced together some of her story.

Someone had locked her up and forced her to continually call out ‘Brother Yabez.’

Each time she did, the other party would say it wasn’t right and ask her to change her tone and call again.

So, she practiced over and over.

If she resisted, she would be beaten.

The doctor did find traces of beatings on her body.

Who knew how long this had been going on to drive her insane?

After much consideration, Luke finally reported the matter to Charlotte Lane.

Charlotte Lane sat on the table, thinking about the report Luke had given her. After a moment, she asked, “Is the resemblance strong?”

Luke looked at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, “The temperament is not similar, but the appearance… there’s at least a 50-60% resemblance. When I first saw her, I thought I had found a relative for you.”

Charlotte Lane did not respond.

“Big Boss, do you want to meet her?” Luke asked.

The girl had been at the Hundred Demons Pavilion for two days before Luke arranged for her to go elsewhere.

One reason was for better treatment.

The second reason was that she had spent time with Edward Kirsten, and Luke didn’t dare trust her completely; that’s why he sent her to another location.

He would visit her whenever he had time.

Charlotte Lane shook her head, “Do your best to treat her.”

“Got it.”

“Have you found any news about her family?” Charlotte Lane asked.

“Not yet,” Luke replied. “We found some missing persons reports in the M Continent, but none of them were her. We’re expanding the search range.”

Charlotte Lane nodded.

Luke said, “She’s very quiet when she’s conscious now, and she doesn’t say anything when we ask her questions, so it’s hard to find her family.”

Charlotte Lane was quiet for a while before saying, “I’m a bit worried that there may be more than one victim like this.”

Luke remained silent.

Because the possibility was enormous.

This girl was targeted because she looked like her. So, Edward Kirsten forced her to mimic her voice.

Up to the point of driving her insane.

If there were others with similar personality, voice or appearance to hers,

then the number of victims would be countless.

She even began to suspect-

Edward Kirsten might have intentionally driven the girl mad and then had Alice Eugene send her to her in order to pressure her.

After all, Alice started the confrontation.

Losing the battle was uneconomical and not to his advantage.

It was hard for her not to think more about it.

But Edward Kirsten shouldn’t know about her connection to the Hundred Demons Pavilion.

But he might know…

Because there was an informant in his home.

She had never mentioned the Hundred Demons Pavilion at home, but James Collins, Robinson Scott, Gael Easton, and others often visited her home.

After all, they were all close to each other, and their conversations were casual.

It’s quite possible that someone mentioned the Hundred Demons Pavilion inadvertently, and someone else overheard it.

Edward Kirsten then sent the girl to the Hundred Demons Pavilion.

Charlotte Lane pressed her temples with her hands, deep in thought.

Edward Kirsten was always hiding in the shadows. He had thousands of ways to escape and tens of thousands of places to hide.

He didn’t even have to show his face to infiltrate her circle without making a sound.

His enemies lurked in secret, enjoying various advantages and knowing her very well, knowing how to deal with her.

Charlotte Lane clicked her tongue softly, cursing, “I used to think he was just crazy, but now… he’s definitely a pervert.”
