Genevieve wondered, ‘Did he cut off his whole finger?” She tried to look at Anthony's hand, but he blocked her. “I'm worried it might scare you. There's a lot of blood.” Genevieve ignored his words. She tried to pull Anthony’s other hand away but saw his finger was still attached.
Genevieve frowned at him.
Anthony gestured toward a minor wound on his hand’s back. “Look, it's bleeding!” Genevieve stood up speechlessly and sneered. “Hurry, let's get a close-up shot before it heals!” Upon uttering those words, she exited the room and noticed a doctor standing at the doorway.

Everyone was conscious of how they appeared on camera but returned to their normal selves when it was off.
Lauraine thought about it and went over again.
Maybe her lack of acting talent made her seem pretentious.

But Lauraine wouldn't give up such a good opportunity.

Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from far away.
Ximena won the game.
Without hesitation, Lauraine pressed “Genevieve” underwater firmly, not allowing her head to emerge.
People started to climb out of the pool to leave. 30 feet, 20 feet from where the two were...

Lauraine smiled weakly and coughed, her face pale. “I'm not healthy enough for intense exercise. My doctor only allowsto soak in the water for a while, but I'm happy with that.” Being aware of her health situation, Stella chose to remain silent, simply looking around in curiosity. “Where is Wette? She didn’t cto snatch it from me. This is strange!” Lauraine’s smile suddenly solidified as her heart skipped a beat. An inexplicable sense of foreboding washed over her.
