Chapter 785

Alaric mumbled, "Are you getting any input, waiting? I don't think Charter..."

"We can come back when it gets dark. We might get lucky and catch something unexpected," Alaric amended. I was rare for someone in their line of work to see such a beautiful woman. At first glance, he couldn't help but be attracted. Since his client couldn't see Charles, he figured he might as well take the opportunity to pursue her.

Skylar gave him a cold glance and said, "Love?"

Alaric's expression changed, and his arms froze. Meanwhile, Skylar noticed Freddie studying her. She immediately followed his signal and retreated to a discreet spot.

A few minutes later, a woman dressed in a janitor's uniform entered the building. The security guard let her in without hesitation. The reporters outside barely glanced at her.

A few minutes after that, Skylar appeared in front of Charles. Charles's eyes reddened slightly when he saw her. "I didn't want to worry you. What's with the injuries on your head and hands? Did Jos hurt you? Did he hit—"

Charles's eyes, which had been red, widened in shock upon seeing Skylar's injuries. He was stunned to realize that he was a heartless bastard. This was domestic abuse.

"It wasn't abuse. I was in a car accident a few days ago. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. I was in the hospital for a few days," Skylar explained quickly.

Charles's concern grew when he heard it was a car accident. He scrutinized her. "You were in a car accident? Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Skylar said, "For now, the important thing is dealing with your situation. I've consulted with friends about strategies and am exploring public relations options."

Despite being engulfed in his own troubles and facing potential ruin, Charles was more concerned about Skylar's car accident and her well-being.

Charles's eyes dimmed. "This is Felicia's deliberate scheme against me. The company has already abandoned me. Don't worry about me. I've mentally prepared myself to leave this industry. Besides, I'm able-bodied. I can always find something else to do."

Skylar asked, "What happened between you and Felicia that day?"

Acting was Charles's dream. Since childhood, he had wanted to be an actor. Hence, she couldn't let Felicia ruin that dream. Furthermore, Charles had already endured enough hardships over the years.

Charles recounted every detail of the encounter with Felicia, explaining how she had invited him to a scene rehearsal and what had happened in the restaurant.

In the end, Freddie added, "Felicia approached Charles of her own accord, and he couldn't push her away. I've heard some things about her in the industry. Her public image is that of a pure and innocent woman. But in reality, her boyfriends come and go. I suspect she tried to harm Charles because he rejected her, and she wasn't pleased."

Charles's face was cold. "She's not answering our calls, and there's no evidence of what happened in the restaurant."

Skylar's face grew serious. She completely believed Charles's account. If she hadn't interacted with Felicia, she might have doubted the online gossip and impressions about her, thinking there could be some misunderstanding. But given the circumstances, it was clear that Felicia had deliberately set Charles up.
