Seamus finally turned to look at Rudy, his face devoid of emotion.

Rudy looked innocent as he said, “This morning, when I was holding the elevator for you, I overheard some passing guests talking about these actors who play extras. They said they were amazing.”

He had believed them and had gone to the agency the guests had mentioned to hire a few extras.

In the distance, Kate looked like she was about to buckle and collapse. Cynthia, as an elder, wanted to say something to comfort her. However, she couldn’t find the words.

Kate fixed her eyes on the banner instead of Cynthia. She said, “I’m sorry for ruining your good mood, Mrs. Snider. Maybe you should get some rest. I’ll come keep you company when I have time.”

Kate slowly turned to look at Seamus. “Everything you’ve done reminds me of my father. You’re just as despicable, selfish, and venomous as he is.”

Seamus couldn’t believe that she was comparing him to someone like Connor. He knew that he

Are you going to use love as an excuse to commit every crime under the sun?”
