Chapter 244
That night, Karen suddenly collapsed at home, sending the Will family into a frenzy. Vincent was out at a social event, and Amber was the only one home. The servant immediately wanted to take Karen to the hospital, but Amber stopped her.
Amber insisted that, since the cause of Karen’s fainting was unknown, it wasn’t safe to move her. Instead, they should call an ambulance and try some emergency measures at home to stabilize her condition first.
The servant hesitated to obey Amber’s instructions. However, with Karen unconscious and Amber now taking charge as the lady of the house, they reluctantly followed her orders. One of the servants, trained in basic first aid, performed a traditional procedure, bloodletting, as Amber directed.
Amber, recalling that sudden fainting in elderly individuals was often linked to cardiovascular issues or strokes, also instructed them to administer emergency medication she had retrieved from Karen’s personal medical supplies.
The group anxiously waited for the ambulance to arrive. But the ambulance was nowhere in sight. When Vincent got the news, he immediately called Amber, asking about his mother’s condition.
Amber tearfully explained that they had already performed emergency measures and given Karen the necessary medication, but Karen still hadn’t regained consciousness. The ambulance had been called but still hadn’t arrived.
“Get my mother to the hospital already! Stop waiting for the ambulance!” Vincent shouted in panic.
“It’s been half an hour. The ambulance should be here by now,” Amber insisted, her voice firm. “We need to wait for the paramedics–they’re professionals and know how to handle this better.” She refused to take her to the hospital, repeating her point with unwavering determination.
Everyone was at a loss and couldn’t do anything against Amber’s insistence.
Amber had made sure that there were some obstacles on the road to delay the ambulance. At this rate, they might arrive until midnight.
As expected, even after Vincent rushed back home in a panic, the ambulance still hadn’t arrived. He called to inquire and learned that two ambulances had been involved in accidents on the way and couldn’t make it. A third one had been dispatched.
Vincent couldn’t wait any longer. He instructed the servants to carry his mother, who had been unconscious for nearly two hours, into the car and take her to the hospital.
Amber followed them, her mind racing. She had just checked–Karen was still alive. A surge of fury coursed through her veins.
‘Did I not add enough poison today? No, that can’t be it,‘ she thought. This time, she had used as much as she had in the last ten attempts combined. Karen should’ve been dead by now. She clenched her fists, her thoughts swirling with frustration.
What Amber didn’t know was that Elvira’s spies in the Willis mansion had already given Karen the antidote. Even if Karen didn’t wake up, it wasn’t so easy to kill her.
Otherwise, Karen would have been dead already.
“What’s wrong with you? You see my mother suddenly collapse, and instead of taking her to the hospital, you wait for the ambulance?
“What the hell are you trying to do?” Vincent’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Amber, he wanted to tear her apart.
his gaze burning with anger as if
“Don’t get me wrong! I did this for her own good. I thought the ambulance would arrive faster, but then there was an accident. Who could have predicted that?” Amber defended herself, but deep down she was still puzzled as to why Karen

hadn’t died yet.
“You better pray my mom is fine. If anything happens to her, I won’t let you get away with it.” Vincent snarled, his fury palpable.

Amber sneered and thought, Vincent always takes his mom’s side. If Karen dies, he won’t amount to anything. When Judy cries before him and he softens, I’ll be just fine. Amber completely dismissed Vincent’s threats.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Karen was rushed into the emergency room, and several doctors worked on her. After some time, they managed to stabilize her condition.
Though she still hadn’t regained consciousness, the doctors confrmed that she wasn’t in immediate danger.
When the doctor came out to give an update, Amber’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. She couldn’t believe Karen was still alive. ‘How is Karen’s life so tough? I should’ve added more poison,‘ she thought.
The doctor’s diagnosis was cerebral thrombosis, though there might be other underlying issues that required further examination. For now, Karen needed to be hospitalized for observation, and it was uncertain when she would wake up.
Vincent was anxious but had no choice. This was the best hospital in Jersten, and he had to trust the doctors. Karen was transferred to a regular ward. However, it was strange. Though the treatment was finished, Karen still hadn’t woken up.
Elvira was aware of the situation at the Willis mansion, realizing that Judy had completely lost her composure. Elvira had already sent Louver to the hospital to save Karen’s life. As long as Louver was there, Amber wouldn’t have the chance to kill
Karen.
‘So Judy decided to give me this ‘gift‘? Fine. I’ll return the ‘favor with interest,‘ Elvira thought to herself.
It was said that Judy’s show was progressing rapidly and was aiming for a prime–time slot. Given the timeline, it should have been completed and entered post–production by now. Next, Judy would have to face the storm. ‘Hopefully, Amber and Judy can handle the pressure, Elvira thought.
The male lead of Judy’s drama was Carter Stewart, one of the most prominent and influential idols in the industry. Originally starting as an idol, his career skyrocketed last year when he starred in a wildly successful adaptation of a boys‘ love novel, firmly cementing his status as a top–tier star.
He became an overnight sensation, his fame soaring to nearly a billion followers–an astonishingly impressive feat.
The production’s allure didn’t end with its captivating female lead, a former child star at the pinnacle of her career. It also featured a supporting cast of top–tier A–listers, creating a dazzlingly glamorous ensemble.
If Judy hadn’t resorted to underhanded tactics, Elvira’s drama wouldn’t have been the most talked–about in the nation by now. From investment to cast, Elvira’s production couldn’t compete with Judy’s.
However, Judy’s lack of integrity and repeated misconduct only backfired, ironically propelling Elvira to the top tier. Meanwhile, Morris‘ movie hadn’t even been released yet, and his popularity was already on the verge of surpassing Carter’s.
In a luxurious villa, Carter scrolled through recent trending topics. The headlines were dominated by Morris, and Carter’s face darkened with anger.
In a fit of rage, he smashed his cup and cursed aloud. “A washed–up nobody is now overshadowing me? What kind of damn talent does he even have?”
Carter lived in luxury, attended by three assistants. Two of them were in the house, tending to him and watching his outburst in tense silence. They dared not make a sound.

To the public, Carter was seen as a humble and gentle man, but

reality, his temper was anything but. He frequently smashed objects, and it was even rumored that he could get physically aggressive,
However, Carter was shrewd enough never to lay a hand on his sistants. Any visible injuries would attract unwanted attention and cause trouble.
The two assistants exchanged nervous glances. Finally, the female assistant mustered her courage and stepped forward, attempting to calm him. “Carter, Morris can’t even compare to you. He’s only gaining sympathy by playing the victim this time.
“You earned your fans through sheer talent and hard work. You have actual projects under your belt. What does he have? He is just a nobody. There’s no need to lower yourself to his level.”
“What do you know?” Carter snapped. “Even the TV dramas we stared in are similar. He’s obviously doing it on purpose, trying to steal my luck by mimicking me! Who the hell is he, anyway?”
“This isn’t going to fly. I won’t let him take what’s mine.” With that, Carter picked up his phone, ready to make some calls to deal with Morris.
