Rebirth of a Hopped Actress, Career First Love
Chapter 390: Just Had Soup Noodles with the Thug
Brody and Paul exchanged uneasy glances. As they entered the hospital room and saw Liliana on the bed, they were utterly shocked. Her legs were encased in thick casts. Her usually delicate face was unrecognizable, bruised and swollen like a battered pumpkin. In an instant, Brody and Paul were dumbfounded. Was this really Liliana?
Elowen entered the room, and upon seeing the half-dead Liliana, her tears flowed freely.
โYou two, as brothers, what are you even good for? Itโs only now you show up! Do you know Elowen was almost beaten to death by a thug in her own companyโs garage today!โ
Brody and Paul were both silent. They not only knew; they had just finished having soup noodles with the thug. Brody had thought Olivia was joking when she said she had beaten someone until they vomited blood. But nowโฆ Brody truly realized. He and Paul were the naive ones. What Olivia said was all true.
โHow is Liliana now?โ Brody asked.
Elowen replied, โThe doctor said itโs lucky her brain wasnโt injured. She should recover with some rest, butโฆ what kind of suffering has Liliana ever endured? Iโm telling you, no matter what, you must find that thug!โ
Brody and Paul were speechless. Normally, knowing who had hurt Liliana, they would have immediately sought vengeance without a second thought. But nowโฆ knowing it was Olivia who had done this, and with Liliana lying tragically before them, they felt no anger or displeasure towards Olivia. Instead, they worried whether Olivia had been caught on camera at Starlit Entertainment, possibly facing legal trouble.
Almost instantly, they were shocked by their own thoughts. In just one day, how had their hearts inexplicably sided with Olivia? The one lying in the hospital bed is their sister, whom they had doted on for twenty years! What is going on?
As they were startled by their own thoughts, Liliana in the hospital bed suddenly made a sound. Elowen quickly summoned the doctor and nurses to check on her. Liliana woke up. She felt intense pain all over, her head buzzing. Her mouth was full of the taste of blood. Oliviaโs threat of โleaving no witnessesโ echoed in her ears as she suddenly opened her eyes, relieved only when she saw Elowen, Paul, and Brody by her bed.

Chapter 390: Just Had Soup Noodles with the Thug
โLiliana, youโre awake?โ โLiliana, who did this to you? Tell Paul and Brody so they can avenge you!โ Elowenโs face lit up when she saw Liliana conscious.
Echoes of Oliviaโs voice and the pain wracked Lilianaโs body, fueling her hatred to new heights. She opened her mouth, ready to name Olivia. But the next second, the name โOliviaโ seemed to stick in her throat. She dared not let Olivia appear before any member of the Kenneth family. Even knowing it was Olivia who had attacked her, she absolutely couldnโt tell the Kenneth family.
โIโฆ I donโt knowโฆโ Liliana instinctively hid Oliviaโs name. But as she spoke, she felt a draft in her mouth. She touched her face. Hold on, where is my tooth?
