Chapter 1379 - 1418: What Happened in the Lounge

"Okay, I will be careful." Mabel Quinn said, and then she hung up the phone. It was Kyle who called just now, saying he probably wouldn’t be able to rush back to J City to pick her up after work to go back to the Quinn Family tonight. A few projects were merging over at G City, the meeting was in a deadlocked state, and it’s impossible to know when it will finish.

At the same time, Kyle also reminded her over the phone to be mindful of Alessia Quinn, saying that she might have some tricks up her sleeve.

Alessia Quinn... Mabel Quinn glanced over at Alessia, who was not far away having a conversation with the production team. These days, Alessia had been quite active around the set, but she didn’t have much interaction with Mabel. For the most part, Alessia was communicating with the production team and director, seeming quite concerned about the daily progress of the shooting.

At a glance, Alessia Quinn seemed to be genuinely just caring about the TV series.

But would it really be that simple? Mabel knew in her heart that her arrival, especially becoming the legitimate eldest daughter of the Quinn Family, had likely made Alessia hate her to the core.

Just as she was contemplating this, Alessia seemed to notice her gaze and looked up to give Mabel a slight smile.

This smile actually gave Mabel a worse feeling.

Today, Atlas Shaw had a few scenes, and after filming, Atlas went to the dressing room to remove his makeup and change his clothes, while Mabel was organizing her things. A crew member came over and said, "Ms. Quinn, Mr. Shaw asked you to go to his dressing room."

"Okay." Mabel replied, then walked towards Atlas’s dressing room.

She knocked on the door twice, but no one opened it, so Mabel pushed the door open and went inside.

Just as she stepped into the room and took two steps forward, the door behind her suddenly closed. Mabel was startled, and when she tried to open the door, she found it had been locked from the outside.

She couldn’t open the door at all!

What’s going on here?! Mabel was pondering as she already noticed Atlas curled up on the sofa.

At this moment, Atlas’s condition seemed abnormal; he appeared to be suppressing something, and as soon as he saw her, he yelled, "Get out, don’t come in, leave immediately, don’t let anyone in!"

Mabel smiled wryly; she could somewhat guess the reason behind Atlas’s condition, after all, she had been caught in a similar situation before.

Was this a setup by someone? But who would set them up?

As Mabel speculated on this in her mind, she also considered her next move. Right, the crew member who asked her to come to the dressing room, upon reflection, had a rather unfamiliar face. Just that he was wearing crew attire, she instinctively assumed he was part of the team.

Could this be Alessia’s design? Mabel remembered the smile Alessia had given her earlier.

"We can’t get out now, the door has been locked from outside." She said to Atlas, "I think we’ve been set up."

Atlas wasn’t stupid; upon hearing Mabel’s words, he quickly realized the situation, "It seems I’ve been too careless... to let others use such a method to trap me... You can find something to tie me up, I... won’t hurt you."
