Worse yet, the studio staff came to ask whose car was parked in the parking lot near the freight elevator downstairs as soon as Dina left.
Since the car blocked the entrance, the owner needed to move it.
When Rini heard the license plate number, she knew it was their car.
In desperation, she could only follow the staff's directions to move their car.
Both of Lilia's assistants weren't really worried, they felt safe because Lilia was accompanied by Harold.
But who would have thought that the enormous board would fall on Lilia?!
This accident was a huge shock!
...
At the same time, at the Genesis Company, Jean was seen having a national executive video conference in the president's room.
The director of the planning department was currently reporting on the plans for the next quarter. The heads of several other branches were also shown on separate screens.
At this time, Jean was sitting holding a pen and writing the contents of the report in his notes.
The pen was strong and his handwriting flowed like water.
Suddenly, a small crack came from his pen.
The tip of the expensive pen was broken by his weightless hand.
The man saw the broken tip of the pen, his heart unknowingly pounded so hard that it was difficult for him to calm down.
The pen shards on the paper with ink stains were just as complex as his current confusion.
This feeling was very strange, inexplicable and turbulent.
His face gradually stiffened as he tried to maintain his neutral expression, his thick eyebrows veiled faintly.
The planning department director who was reporting in front suddenly noticed the president's gaze, and so he felt a hint of doubt in his heart.
Was the president not satisfied with his reporting job?!
It shouldn't be. All opening plans were arranged according to company's policy. He had reviewed this report many times and he thought nothing would be wrong!
The planning director remained calm even though he smiled bitterly, and he planned to continue reporting.
But as soon as those words were spoken, he saw the man put his pen on the table without any weight. Then he seemed to have woken up from his daze in the next second. His expression was indifferent and his eyes were deep as he said, "Take a ten minute break."
After he finished speaking, Jean walked out of the meeting room.
The executives in the room were so confused. The meeting had just started and they were already given ten minutes off!
But after all, it was an order from the president, so they just needed to obey!
After Jean returned to his office, he walked slowly to the window. He held his waist with one hand and looked down at the street below, his brows furrowed.
His forehead creased, then he turned around and took a few sips of the herbal tea on the table. But this still could not get rid of his anxiety.
As he took out his cigarette box and tried to smoke a cigarette to suppress this strange emotion, his phone suddenly rang. His cold expression turned gloomy once he heard the words from across the line.
The man's two eyes bulged, he immediately threw the cigarette box on the table and picked up the coat on the back of the chair. He wasted no time and immediately left the office.
No wonder he was feeling restless. Apparently, his bad feeling concerned Lilia!
...
On the afternoon of the same day, the news that Lilia and William were injured became a hot search.
At the same time, William's actions in saving Lilia's life received a good response among fans.
Everyone gave a variety of praise and criticism, but there were some who felt that William still loved Lilia so that when he saw her in danger, William was willing to sacrifice himself to protect her.
For some reason, William's somewhat 'heroic' action to save Lilia left a good impression on many and so his reputation was restored.
Netizens discussed excitedly, the media crew also went to the hospital to hunt for more updates and reported the current situation.
Media reported that when two were rescued from under the background board, Lilia collapsed and had blood flowing from her head, while William was seen to be severely injured in the back.
Someone took a picture of the incident, and on the fallen background board, the steel rod used to link it coincidentally scratched William's entire back.
It wasn't hard to understand that had he not run towards her and protected her from behind, Lilia would have been the only person gravely injured by the incident.
At Minerva Hospital, the media jammed up outside the ICU building. The journalists kept trying to enter, but they were all stopped by security at the door.
By 3:30 pm, the news on the Internet was spreading like a great fire.
Many people took the opportunity to stir up trouble and start talking nonsense.
Some said that William died from his wounds, some others said that Lilia's face was damaged, some even boasted that they were at the scene and saw William giving up his life to protect Lilia, and that they were moved by his action.
At 3:40 p.m., Jean had arrived at the hospital.
In front of the ICU, only Harold and a few staff could be seen roaming the hall.
At that time, in the corner of the corridor not far away, Jean looked coldly at Dina and Rini.
The two of them lowered their heads in shame, they didn't dare to look at Jean in the eyes.
The air near the corridor seemed to be frozen, everyone could feel Jean's terrifying chill.
"Young master, this is our fault! We've failed to protect madame!" Dina said with her head still down.
The man narrowed his eyes and looked at them. After a while, he replied sharply, "The guardians of the Widjaya family have been trained from early ages, how come are you guys still making a mistake like this? What skills have you learned so far?"
His words pierced the heart, and at the same time, made Dina and Rini lower their heads more from embarrassment.
If their actions were found out by the other guards, they would probably laugh at both of them for the rest of their lives.
This kind of error shouldn't have happened.
"Young master, we are willing to accept punishment," Dina nodded and blamed herself.
The man turned around, and before he stepped towards the ICU room, he said in a cold tone, "After Lilia recovers, you don't need to follow her anymore!"
"Young master, we... Can we stay by Miss Lilia's side?"
Deep down, the two of them didn't want to leave Lilia alone.
The man's steps paused for a moment, he looked to the side and his handsome silhouette stopped over his shoulder. "She does not need you to be negligent in your duties! I will give you two a day to investigate everything. If you find out, you two can stay. If you can't find anything, take your suitcases and leave!"
"Yes, young master, we will do our best!"
...
Outside the ICU room, everyone was still waiting anxiously.
Harold's face looked ugly. He stood in front of the Moonlight Studio staff and asked in a very aggressive tone, "Didn't you guys check the safety of the podium you built? How did that big background board fall? You all should've known it could kill people so easily!"
The staff from the prep team looked down, they had nothing to say and could only nod and bow to apologize.
This was purely an accident.
They had worked with many events and they had never seen an incident where the backdrop fell down.
When Harold was about to curse a few more words, calm footsteps could be heard in everyone's ears from the other side of the corridor. Accompanied by a low, gentle voice, a man approached them and asked, "What's the situation?"
Harold shifted his gaze upon hearing that voice, he suddenly ran into Jean's line of sight. He blinked a little stiffly and answered, "Still unclear."
Jean stared at him for three seconds without saying a word, making Harold feel more depressed.
