Chapter 614

Nina was quite surprised by this.
“Director? No, no, no, I don’t know anything about directing!” Nina had not even considered it before.
Nelly responded, “Don’t be modest. You’re always running around, watching, and discussing dramas. Even if you think you’re just a dabbler, you always speak insightfully. Maybe you just have a natural talent for this.”
“You’re flattering me,” Nina said, thinking Nelly was joking.
Initially, Nina had absolute confidence that this drama would be a hit. She wanted to help Penelope find a way out and benefit herself in the process.
At that moment, Penelope was also resting, sitting beside her. She chimed in, “I know you see this drama as very important. After all, this is our chance for a comeback. If you’re interested, you could listen to Nelly. This is part of your career, after all.” Nina was in a confused phase, unsure of what she wanted or what interested her.
Becoming a reporter was a way to seek justice for ordinary people.
Investing in the drama came about accidentally. She knew it was wise to focus on her career, but she felt lost.
“I’ll think about it,” Nina said.
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
“Where have you hidden my son? Did you kidnap him? He hasn’t been home for half a month!”
“Ma’am, you can’t go in there!” The security guards were blocking the way.
“If I can’t go in, then something must be wrong. Scott went missing here, and I’m calling the police!” Yasmine shouted.
Hearing the noise outside and recognizing Scott’s name, Nina realized something.
“Let them in,” she instructed.
Scott’s mother and Yasmine came in, urgently looking for Scott.
“Scott isn’t here,” Nina reminded them.
Scott’s mother looked at Nina, scrutinizing her. “Are you Nina, the woman who often contacts my son?”
Nina had never met Scott’s mother before. Seeing the young girl beside her, she understood, “Scott and I are middle school classmates. You said you haven’t been in touch with him for half a month?”
“Yes, we only know he last saw you,” Scott’s mother said, her expresssion tense. “He never leaves without saying goodbye. Did you say something to him?”
Yasmine stared at Nina, her intuition telling her that this was the woman Scott liked. “How long have you been in contact with Scott? Are you deliberately leading him on? Why else would he be thinking about you all the time? He saw you right before he disappeared. Did you trick him? Tell us the truth, or we’ll call the police!”
“Don’t accuse us falsely!” Angel said. “Scott did visit, but he only treated us to a meal and then left. What does this have to do with us? We’re law-abiding citizens, not criminals!”
Nina recalled what Scott had said before leaving, that he had something important to do.
“Scott mentioned he was going abroad to a dangerous place. Wasn’t he going for business?” Nina asked, frowning.
“Dangerous place?” Scott’s mother was so frightened her heart skipped a beat. “Why didn’t he tell me anything? Where is this dangerous place? Where did he go?”
“Could it be that he really went to the Yaren tribe?” Yasmine suddenly realized, her face turning pale. “Didn’t I say that place was dangerous? Why didn’t he listen? What is he doing going to such a dangerous place?”
