“Why? How could this be?!”
Bella threw another tantrum in the changing room.
This latest audition had completely humiliated her. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Not only did the executive director give her the cold shoulder and insult her, but she also lost to an inexperienced girl who had not even played a side character before.
With her strong sense of pride, how could she accept this?
When she remembered what Dustin said before he left she burned with even more anger.
“In less than three months, you’ll become a no–name actress. You won’t even be hired to play a small, background character.”
“I won the People’s Choice Award, and he says no one will hire me even for background characters? Impossible!” Bella muttered with a grim face.
Suddenly, someone asked, “Are you Bella Wyatt?”
Bella was shocked. It was only then that she noticed someone had shown up in her changing room.
“Who are you?” Bella demanded warily.
“A Hell Messenger from the Verdant Gang,” the person said coldly.
Bella’s face froze.
A Hell Messenger from the Verdant Gang? She had heard rumors that when a Hell Messenger showed up, someone’s family was going to be destroyed.
“What… do you want?” Bella’s voice quivered as she asked.
She was worried that the Hell Messenger had come to kill her. After all, she was involved in Harold’s disappearance.
“Don’t panic. I’m not here to kill you,” said the Hell Messenger coldly. “I’m here on orders from the Verdant Gang’s top elites to look into what happened to Mr. Grant.”
Bella was deep in thought, and her face changed.
She immediately gave the Hell Messenger an exaggerated account of what had happened.
“Are you saying that Dustin Fox set up a trap for Mr. Grant and his group, and he’s the reason they’re all missing?” The Hell Messenger frowned.
How could anyone have made two hundred elites of the Verdant Gang disappear without a trace?
“That’s exactly what happened!” Bella said firmly. “And I know where he is! I’ll take you to him!”
With the Hell Messenger in tow, Bella drove to the Langley family villa.
“Dustin lives here,” she said darkly..
The Hell Messenger got out of the car and observed the Langley family villa.
A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to go in, but his face suddenly changed, and he stopped.
He stared at the gate and scowled.
Dustin had shown up at the entrance and staring at them indifferently.
“That’s Dustin Fox, Sir!” Bella said hurriedly.

The Hell Messenger stared at Dustin but could not see anything special about him.
“So, you’re Dustin Fox. I have some questions for you,” he said icily. “If you lie, I’ll cut off your tongue, dig out your heart, and make you beg for death!”
The Hell Messenger’s murderous demeanor could terrify plenty of common people.
But Dustin only spared the Hell Messenger a glance before he raised an eyebrow in amusement.
A Hell Messenger from the Verdant Gang, huh?
There was such a saying in the underground: If a Hell Messenger was dispatched, someone’s family was going to be destroyed.
“Are you involved in Mr. Grant’s disappearance?” the Hell Messenger asked coldly.
“He definitely is! No! I’m entirely sure he made Mr. Grant disappear!” Bella shouted. “Stop asking him questions and just punish him!”
The Hell Messenger shot her a cold look. His killing intent made Bella’s face turn pale with fright.
“Are you trying to tell me what to do?”
Bella shook her head and stepped back in fear.
“You haven’t answered my question.” The Hell Messenger turned around with a fierce gaze.
“Dustin, you better admit to it! If you dare to lie to a Hell Messenger from the Verdant Gang, you’ll die!” Bella pointed at Dustin and threatened him.
She tried to reason with Dustin to make him understand the seriousness of the situation so that he would give himself up.
