Brooks Entertainment was one of the top entertainment companies in the country, a direct competitor to Star Entertainment. Marcel’s eldest brother was the CEO of Brooks Entertainment.
“Oh yes, we’re all fine. Luckily, we weren’t at the center or too close to it. One director was injured, but he’s being treated at the hospital now. Since we can’t continue the shoot, the rest of us are heading back p>
“That’s good news, then,” Annabel said, relief loosening her voice.
As if he had only just noticed the bodyguards, Marcel looked at Annabel with curiosity. “What are you doing here, Annabel? Did something happen?” Then his gaze shifted to Anika, his brows pulling together. “Anika, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale p>
Anika’s eyes immediately filled with tears. “My boyfriend is in Bushedge p>
“Shit! That’s the heart of the earthquake!” Marcel blurted out. “Your boyfriend? The one who broke up with you? But isn’t that p>
He snapped his mouth shut when Annabel shot him a lethal look.
“Shut it, will you?” Annabel warned.
“Sorry,” Marcel muttered. Then he brightened again and said, “Are you going to Bushedge for the rescue? Let me come with you p>
“No. You should go back to Douburgh as planned,” Annabel said quickly.
She didn’t want anything happening to Marcel on her watch.
Marcel ignored her completely and trotted after them, cheerful as ever. “The more people, the better. Who knows? I might be the one who finds Anika’s boyfriend p>
They boarded a helicopter and headed for Bushedge.
Noticing how pale and hollow Anika looked, Marcel tried to lighten the mood. “Anika, let me tell you a joke p>
“I’d appreciate it if you stayed quiet, Marcel,” Anika cut in. She wasn’t in the mood. Her mind was consumed by Jared.

Marcel let out a sigh. “Okay, okay, fine. I’ll shut up.” Then he added, more seriously, “But you shouldn’t worry too much. With our numbers, we’ll find your boyfriend. And if he dares to bully you, he’ll have me to deal with p>
In the Norman family’s villa, Heather lay limp on the sofa, sick with humiliation as she watched the news about her and that damned pimp explode online.
No matter what Hooper did, he couldn’t stop it from spreading.
“Look at what you’ve done!” Hooper’s voice shook with anger. “You’ve disgraced the Norman family!” His disappointment was unmistakable. Being caught fooling around with a pimp in a lounge—at a public event—was outright humiliating.
“Do you think this is what I wanted?” Heather snapped, choking on frustration. “You have to believe me. I had a perfect plan. How was I supposed to know Rupert would p>
“Don’t you dare finish that sentence!” Hooper cut her off, furious. “You’re the eldest daughter of the Norman family, for God’s sake. How could you stoop so low? I can’t even imagine how angry Grandpa will be when he finds out p>
“What else was I supposed to do, Hooper?” Tears welled in Heather’s eyes, her voice cracking. “I really love Rupert. You wouldn’t understand—you’ve never been in love. That’s why you think you get to judge me. You have no idea how I feel p>
Hooper stared at her, stunned. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
