Chapter 44
That was Interesting!
The driver, startled and jittery, blurted out, “Mr. York, that’s the Young family’s son. We should call 911, right away!”
Tyrone cast a glance that was as cold as ice, his gaze sharp as a blade pressed against the jugular, chilling to the bone with its lethal intent.
“What Young family’s son?” Tyrone said dismissively, “I don’t see anyone.”
“The one lying there,” the driver replied.
“Do his life and death concern you?” Tyrone asked with a thin smile.
“No.”
“Turn around. Let’s go home.”
“Yes, sir!”
Arriving home, Mrs. York noticed that Tyrone seemed to be in a rare good mood.
She debated whether to discuss Rachel’s situation with him but barely started when Tyrone interrupted, “Mom, I’m in a good mood right now. Let’s not spoil it with unpleasant
matters.
Mrs. York chuckled nervously, “Alright, alright. I won’t bring it up.”
Back in his room, Tyrone made a phone call, “Hey, Eric, I heard you got transferred to the RTA. I need a small favor.”

The next morning, Violet arrived and said to Quintessa, “Get ready; we’re heading to the studio to shoot some test photos.”
Quintessa, browsing the news on her phone, asked nonchalantly, “Oh? The show hasn’t been canceled?”
After the way she clashed with Tyrone, she thought for sure he wouldn’t let her off easily, yet here she was, still in the cast?
Violet playfully flicked Quintessa’s forehead, “Can’t you ever be positive?”
Quintessa laughed, “My bad.”
“You seem cheery today.”
“Yeah, I feel pretty good/
Violet glanced at the news on Quintessa’s phone, expecting gossip, but it was just a regular news piece, “Young people today, driving like they’re invincible.”

Quintessa scrolled past the story, “I know, right? The things money lets them get away with.
The news reported, “Last night, around 11 PM, a young man on a motorcycle was speeding and ran a red light, colliding with a passing SUV. He was thrown from his bike, suffering multiple fractures and is
in a coma, critical but stable. A reminder to all citizens: please drive safely and obey traffic laws. Do not speed in urban areas.”
Quintessa turned off her phone as Manny arrived at 8 AM to take her to the studio.
Director Cooper’s project was a contemporary drama with a niche genre – a modern supernatural tale. Quintessa landed the lead female role after discussions between Violet and Director Cooper.
Director Cooper had remarked Quintessa’s looks were so striking that they were almost aggressive. Even if she played the second lead, her beauty would overshadow the main star, so it made sense to have her as the lead.
The character was supposed to be sexy, sharp–tongued, and haughty – a perfect fit for Quintessa.
After getting into costume and makeup, the photographer directed Quintessa through various poses for her solo promotional shots. Then it was time for the paired photos with the male lead.
The male lead was a newcomer named Reuben Laurier, a fresh–faced young actor who seemed a bit nervous. When he was asked to wrap his arms around Quintessa’s waist for some intimate shots, she could feel his muscles tense up, leading to a couple of retakes.
The director teased, “Reuben, are you just trying to hold onto Quinn a little longer because she’s so pretty?”
“No, no, that’s not it.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“Are we done here?” A cool, detached voice suddenly asked.
Director Cooper turned to see that visitor and quickly greeted him, “Mr. York, you’re here.”
