There were more than a handful of branches in the media industry-media studies, production,
directing, and arts, to name a few. On one look, it was adequate to say those were not something
that would pique Vivianâs interest.
However, as Kurt lowered his head to browse through the document, he noticed that Susan had
circled the point âscene and costume designâ under the directing section with a red pen.
âWhatâs this?â
âThatâs what suits her. The professor mentioned that other than the actorsâ superb acting skills, the
success of a film is also closely tied to these two factors. For instance, that wildly popular drama
rose to fame because of its costume, props, and makeup.â Susan found some images of that
particular film as she patiently explained.
As an incredibly clever youth, Kurt immediately understood upon seeing the documents before him.
Even his eyes lit up in realization.
Above all, Vivianâs name would be equivalent to a living signboard if she could make a
breakthrough in that aspect of the film industry. When that happened, directing anything she was
interested in, including documentaries, dramas, and fashion shows, would not be a problem.
Sheâll be able to film and coordinate everything by herself. Thereâs nothing she isnât capable of,
right?
With that, Kurt grabbed everything and strode out.
In no time, Susan walked out of the architecture faculty and coincidentally ran into Ian at the
schoolâs central square. As the two exchanged glances from a distance away, the smile on their lips
grew increasingly brighter.
âWhen did you go over there?â
âOh⦠While you two were busy taking photos. Is everything resolved?â
As they strolled along the forested trail, Susan dared not look at the youth beside her. She walked
awkwardly and deliberately kept a distance between them.
It was probably the first time the two walked side by side after their relationshipâs breakthrough.
There was no doubt it was an awkward moment-and also a nervous one.
Susan lowered her head and stared at her toes.
Ring!
All of a sudden, a student riding a bicycle appeared from behind.
Shocked, Susan was about to move aside when a large hand reached out to her shoulder and
tugged at her. In the next second, she found herself landing directly into his embrace.
Susan was so startled her mind went blank.
Her heart thumped so wildly that it almost felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
âAre you all right?â Ian seemed slightly unsettled too.
Vividly sensing Susanâs soft and warm skin resting in his palms, coupled with the scent of her silky
hair lingering around his nostrils, he felt the tips of his ears burning red.
However, he did not loosen his grip.
âI-Iâm fine.â Leaning against Ianâs chest, Susan felt her heart pounding vigorously, causing her to
stutter as she tried to speak.
Nevertheless, it was apparent she enjoyed that situation since she did not try to break free. Even
when there were passers-by along the two stretch of lanes beside them, she merely buried her
head deeper into Ianâs chest.
As she listened to his strong and steady heartbeat, her cheeks began to turn bright red.
The pair eventually left while holding hands, with the young man grabbing onto Susanâs slightly
quivering hand in his warm palm tightly without letting go.
It was a really sweet moment between the two.
Meanwhile, Sasha had once again found Sigrith. She had also brought along Mr. Glenâs recording
with her.
âListen to this.â
She took out the device and played the recording in front of Sigrith.
The latterâs face turned ghastly white at once.
âYouâ¦â
âIâve always thought that you know how to differentiate right from wrong though youâre a little dumb.
That was why I was willing to lend a helping hand when something happened to your family.â
Sitting opposite Sigrith, Sasha appeared relatively calm.
Yet, her expression was slightly different this time. It felt like it was missing warmth even though it
was peaceful- looking, so much to the extent her whole body seemed to be exuding a terrifyingly
frosty aura.
Sigrith clearly felt a chill running down her spine.
âSigrith, youâre an utter disappointment. It turns out youâve attributed your husbandâs death to my
children and my husband all this while. Donât you find your mentality extremely absurd?â Disgust
and rage were apparent in Sashaâs eyes as she coldly snorted.
When Sigrith heard those words, her face lost all colors instantaneously. She sat there, unable to
maintain her composure in the slightest.
â1-1⦠only heard them talking about the situation during then. T-They said Colton wouldnât have
died if not forthat desperate circumstance. He died in their hands in the end.â
âBullshtt!â Sasha could no longer hold herself back and cussed.
âWhat do you mean desperate circumstance? That was because Elizabeth had been bewitching
and misleading him from the beginning. She didnât even reveal his real identity to him and made him
become one of her pawns. Why didnât you direct your resentment toward the Heard family? Why
are you venting your anger on US instead of settling scores with the real culprit?â
Sigrith remained silent.
âAnyway, even if itâs true that my husband and kids caused Coltonâs death, do you not think he
deserves to die? Do you have any idea how many people he killed? There were over hundreds of
children on that name list. Elysiumâs matter drove Kurt mad. That was why he rushed over to the
capital and killed everyone. Everything is Elizabeth and his fault! Does he not deserve to die?â
A wave of fury crashed through Sasha as she threw Sigrith a barrage of questions. She was very
close to serving the latter a tight slap on her cheek to bring her to her senses.
