Chapter 2225
The production team had to call an ambulance for one of the actors, and the incident didn’t even require the paparazzi to get involved – bystanders had seen everything and uploaded photos to the internet.
[Hey guys, can anyone tell if this is the same crew from that bullying scandal a while back? I was on my way to work when I saw an ambulance taking someone away again. Did they run into more trouble?]
It was like dropping a stone in a pond, the ripples spread fast – too many witnesses to be a hoax.
This production was really going from one crisis to another.
Then, some well-connected gossip columnist managed to find out it was Ivy who had been taken away.
[Ivy in trouble again? I always said she didn’t have the look of a bully.]
Regardless of why Ivy was hospitalized, it looked like she might finally clear her name from the scandal of bullying a fellow actress on set.
[Is Colton jinxed or what? How does his crew keep getting hit with all this bad press? Honestly, I’m hesitant to watch a movie produced in such an environment.]
[LOL, what’s that got to do with the director or the ‘environment’? Are you saying you’d support a bully if they finished the filming peacefully? Remember, your ticket money is lining the director’s pockets. And Ivy probably is just sick; it doesn’t mean she’s off the hook for bullying. She never spoke up about the whole Diana thing, did she?]
That comment got a lot of nods online.
The few who stood by Ivy were labeled as irrational super fans.
Colton rubbed his temples, exasperated. This was never-ending!
“I initially believed that with Diana still working with us, this nonsense would’ve gradually faded from the public’s attention. I never expected that people would take it so seriously. Would an actress who was really bullied by us choose to work with us again?”
If it weren’t for the fact that he was in a hospital, the producer would have lit up a cigarette and taken a long, hard drag.
“Let it go,
up.”
the more you engage, the more they’ll escalate. Right now, we need Ivy to wake
Their response had been swift, the ambulance prompt, but he couldn’t understand why Ivy hadn’t emerged from the ER yet.
Balfour’s return was faster than anyone anticipated, flying straight from M state, dropping

all his commitments to hop on his private jet.
Yet, even the jet couldn’t keep up with his impatience, The man wished he could fly the damn thing himself!
Quinton, worried sick about his boss, left a pile of unfinished business to come back with
him.
Balfour might not openly show it, but he cared for Ivy more than anyone realized. With her life hanging in the balance, he must’ve been frantic!
Quinton, always by Balfour’s side, had long picked up on the special place Ivy held for him, though Balfour himself still appeared to be in denial.
Balfour hit the ground running as soon as the plane touched down, not wasting a second before speeding to the hospital where Ivy was admitted.
Bursting through the hospital doors, he raced towards Alyssa and Dean, barely catching his breath, “Grandpa, Grandma, how is Ivy?”
Seeing his grandson like this, Dean felt a pang of sympathy and gestured for someone to bring Balfour a glass of water.
“Take a breath first. Ivy hasn’t woken up yet, and the doctors… they don’t have a clear
answer.”
Balfour’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked up, then composed himself and approached
Colton.
