Chapter 139 Dad Said Kids Shouldn't Play with Fire
The third public performance would start soon.
Five hundred spectators had successively entered the venue.
Ebony was sitting on the seat for celebrity recommender and the staff was testing her radio equipment.
At the moment, several mentors appeared one after another.
Ebony sneered when she saw Belinda.
She had thought that Belinda would not participate in the recording as she said.
She was spineless.
After everyone was here, the host made a prologue to heighten the atmosphere of show. Then the show started.
The first team was Stella's team, the champion of the second public performance.
The dance of Stella's team was striking and thrilling. They made everyone there so excited.
Several teams finished their performance.
Lorena's team went on the stage.
As expected, her team's performance was nothing to write home about.
After her team finished their performance, Ebony took out a sign for challenge.
That meant Ebony's team would challenge Lorena's team.
It seemed that Lorena had expected it. There was a disapproving look on her face but she did not say anything.
Ebony's team won the challenge as expected.
Lorena's team was all eliminated.
To Ebony's surprise, it seemed that Lorena was not so angry.
Even Belinda and Victor reacted calmly.
Ebony sat on the recommender seat and felt something strange.
Belinda was in a bad mood. She didn't say a word during the recording. Ebony could understand it.
But why did Victor also not say a word? Had he undergone a genetic mutation?
After a day's recording, Ebony had five eliminated trainees again at night.
She stepped off the stage and just came out of the backstage supporter.
A strange worker stopped her. "Miss Gibson. We have a party later. Will you attend it?"
Ebony was stunned. She looked at the worker and was silent for a while. Then she said, "Yes."
The worker said, "It's held in the 'Charm' box of Diadem Restaurant. Do you know how to get to that restaurant? It's just across the street."
Ebony said, "Um, I know."
The worker said, "Miss Gibson, can you go to the restaurant by yourself? I should inform others."
Ebony smiled. "Okay."
Diadem Restaurant was in a conspicuous place.
When Ebony arrived, she saw Belinda getting of a car on the gate.
Seeing Ebony, Belinda's face suddenly darkened. Then she walked in.
Ebony slowly followed behind her.
Before them was the Charm box. But after Belinda entered it, she immediately closed the door.
Ebony didn't take it seriously and walked over to open the door.
However, to her surprise, it was dark inside.
The next moment, a few people suddenly appeared in the darkness and attacked her...
In the backstage supporter, Stella couldn't find Ebony. When she saw her father talking with the general director in the corridor, she ran over there.
Darryl saw her daughter and touched her hair. He praised her. "You danced well."
Stella opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But she shut her mouth at the sight of the general director beside them.
The general director took the hint and said, "Mr. Quinn, I'll leave you to it. I will change the list later. And from next period of the show, Belinda will be no longer a mentor and we'll invite Rosa to be the fourth mentors, ok?"
Darryl nodded.
The general director left.
As soon as the general director left, Stella immediately looked at her father. "Dad, have you seen aunt?"
Darryl looked around and said, "I haven't seen her. Did she go back first?"
Stella frowned. "No. Usually, aunt will see that the trainees distribute their lyrics and dancing parts before she leaves. I just came from the training room of No.1 recommending team. They said they didn't see aunt. And I can't get through to her."
Darryl was shocked. "Can't get through?"
He was silent for a while and called a director of the program team.
The director asked many people and after a while he came back and said, "A worker heard that someone told her there is a party tonight. And Miss Gibson went to attend it. But it's strange that our program team don't hold a party tonight..."
Darryl's expression instantly changed.
He asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where they have the party?"
The director said, "The worker heard that it may be Diadem Restaurant, the Chinese restaurant across the street. We sometimes order takeaways from it... Hey, Mr. Quinn..."
Darryl kept walking all the way to the entrance of the elevator.
Seeing that the elevator was still in the upper floor, he went into the stairs.
Stella followed behind him and looked pale. She asked nervously, "Dad, will aunt be all right?"
Darryl pursed his lips and did not say anything.
He took out his phone and called the bodyguards who were guarding outside the TV station.
When Darryl reached the first floor, seven bodyguards had already been there.
As Darryl walked out, he said, "Diadem Restaurant, it's nearby, in..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stopped.
He looked at the two people who were getting off a car across the street.
Darryl blurted out. "Llo?"
In the Charm box of Diadem Restaurant, Ebony was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
She was playing a folding knife in her hand.
Her delicate fingertips were stroking the tip of the knife.
"Hmm..."
There was a muffled voice of struggle before her.
Ebony looked up.
She saw Belinda, Victor and four strong men who was tied to six chairs respectively and whose mouth was sealed by her.
They were staring at her angrily.
Ebony stood up and walked up to them.
At the same time, she tut-tutted and shook her head. "Don't blame me. The ropes, tapes, candles, knives and whips are all prepared by you."
While she was speaking, Ebony put down the folding knife.
She took the whip!
After she unfolded the whip, she cracked the whip in the air.
Ebony used the whip once and then raised her hand again.
This time she whipped Victor's face.
"Hmm--" Victor was instantly agitated in pain.
He wanted to scream out but he couldn't!
Ebony raised her hand again and whipped Victor's other half of face!
This time she whipped with greater strength. Victor's face was instantly smashed and the whip was stained with blood.
"Let's try the candle." Ebony discarded the whip and lit the candle with a lighter. Then she held the candle and walked to Belinda.
Belinda was so frightened that she shook her head violently at her in fear.
Ebony grinded and said, "It was your dressmaker who told me to attend this party. Did you think that I don't know her? Sorry, I recognized her when I saw her."
Ebony shook the candle from side to side so that more wax oil would trickle down.
Meanwhile, she said, "When I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw nobody except the waiters. Hey, it's a party, the party of the program team, hundreds of people. Even if I came here early, it was impossible that on one was here. It was too quiet. Miss Bowman, your acting skill is bad"
At the time, she got enough wax oil.
Ebony licked her lips and trembled her hands. Then a hot wax oil dripped onto Belinda's hand.
"Hmm..." Belinda screamed out in pain.
Ebony muttered. "It's funny. But dad said that kids can't play with fire, or they'll wet the bed."
