Ivy, Miranda, and a photographer were taken to the police station. After giving their statements, Miranda was detained on suspicion of assault.
However, several hours later, Miranda's private lawyer secured her release on bail.
As soon as she left the station, Miranda rushed to the hospital.
It was already late at night.
Seeing Rong Jingyang slumped in the hallway, an unnamable rage ignited within her.
It was all this scumbag's fault!
If it weren't for him, Xin Jie wouldn't have gotten into trouble!
She so desperately wanted to spit on him twice, kick him a few times.
But seeing Doudou asleep in Rong Jingyang's arms, Miranda ultimately refrained from acting. She simply spoke in a low, venomous tone, "Stop your crocodile tears and feigned pity here. You scumbag, Xin Jie is disgusted just seeing you."
Rong Jingyang: "…………"
Miranda entered the ward.
Du Ruoxin and Christiano were watching a movie. Miranda glanced at the man lying on the sofa and walked directly to Du Ruoxin, "Xin Jie."
Seeing her good friend safe and sound, Du Ruoxin's heart was greatly relieved. "Miranda, how are you?"
Miranda sat on the edge of the bed, relaxed and self-assured. "Hey, in New York, who can do anything to me?" She reached out to Du Ruoxin's belly, "Is the baby startled?"
Du Ruoxin sadly lowered her eyes and held her friend's left hand. "It's gone."
Miranda: ...Huh?
Gone?
Miranda's mood plummeted. She wanted to lash out, to roar, "I'll go beat Ivy to death!" But Du Ruoxin's low, almost relieved voice echoed in the air:
"It's for the best, that way Rong Jingyang won't bother me anymore."
Du Ruoxin pulled Miranda into the bed. "Don't leave tonight, stay here and sleep with me."
Miranda: ...
Why did she feel that Xin Jie was too calm?
She had many questions, but looking at Christiano, Miranda didn't ask a single one. "Okay."
Du Ruoxin: "Brother, turn off the TV, I'm sleepy."
Christiano: "…………"
Why did hearing that make his heart feel so uncomfortable?
How much—
Did she guard against him?

Ivy went to the hospital for an examination. She kept complaining of headaches, dizziness, and nausea. The doctor diagnosed her with a mild concussion.
She lay alone in the hospital bed, resting.
Late at night, the police left.
But Ivy was too excited to sleep.
She knew Miranda's family background was powerful, and it wouldn't be easy to deal with her. However, not easy didn't mean impossible.
Although Christiano refused to help, she still had other connections.
She hadn't wasted her years studying in the United States; she had some connections.
Ivy asked a friend to help her investigate Miranda's specific background, social connections, and any dealings.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As long as she could find a breakthrough, Ivy could make Miranda regret crossing her.
【Du Ruoxin……】
With Christiano protecting her, she couldn't afford to provoke her and would naturally avoid her for now.
But Miranda, Ivy was not someone who would swallow her pride and endure humiliation. So she wanted to gauge whether she could move against her.
Surprisingly, she did get some information.
Miranda had a flamboyant personality, fiercely competing for scripts with a certain company, engaging in fights and brawls, and aggressively poaching talent from that company, disrupting their business, no, completely cutting off their livelihood.
She had thoroughly offended the boss of that company.
Ivy immediately contacted that person. After a mutual conspiracy, Ivy staged the incident where she "asked to be beaten."
She also handed over that video to that person.
All she had to do was wait for tomorrow morning, when that person would release the video online, making headlines and letting public opinion run wild.
Even if it couldn't destroy Miranda, a year or two in prison, ruining her film and television projects, and snatching her opportunities – this revenge.
Heh heh.
A fierce glint flashed in Ivy's eyes.
Since she couldn't deal with Du Ruoxin, she would vent all her anger on Miranda.
But…
Thinking of Du Ruoxin, Ivy frowned.
The police said Du Ruoxin had a miscarriage. Although it wasn't clear who caused it, if Du Ruoxin insisted it was her, would Christiano retaliate against her?
Ivy shivered.
No matter what Du Ruoxin said, after the incident blew up tomorrow, she would visit the hospital to probe the situation.
