Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 152. Is She Dead?

“No!” Hailey’s fingers trembled a few inches in front of her cheek. Her eyes were horrified, as if she was seeing a ghost in the mirror.

Everyone furrowed their brows together. No one dared to approach, except Barbara. She touched Hailey’s shoulder, asking, “What’s wrong, Hailey?”

When her friend turned around, Barbara gasped. Her feet

spontaneously stepped back, as if she didn’t want to get infected. What’s wrong with your face?”

“I’m the one who should be asking! What’s wrong with my face? Why is my skin like this?”

Hailey turned to face the mirror. She grabbed a sheet of tissue and rubbed her cheek. A second later, she grimaced. “Oh, it hurts so

“Mercury? How is that possible? The powder was still sealed earlier,” one of the make-up team said.

He turned to the next person. “Call Wela. Tell her what happened. Ask her and Rony to rush to the medical room. Do it cleanly.”

“Yes, Sir!”

While the three men were carrying out their duties, Philip turned to face the make up and wardrobe team.

“Before I take this case to court, you better confess. Who put the mercury in it?”

The women shook their heads together.
