Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Trapped in the Mountains

Lucas Shaw’s doting on Serena Summers far exceeded their expectations.

They had originally thought that with a status and identity like Lucas Shaw’s, he would never fancy Serena Summers, who was nothing more than a pretty face. But who could have imagined... the normally abstinent and aloof man, was now blatantly displaying affection in his eyes when facing Serena.

They exchanged glances and secretly made up their minds.

It seemed they had to be more cautious in the future, or else they might not know when they’d be fired.

Serena was carried by Lucas Shaw to the upstairs couch.

Exhausted from a long day, and feeling the softness beneath her, Serena couldn’t help but sigh.

Lucas Shaw sat down beside Serena, his eyes filled with sympathy, "Tired? Do you want to go to the bed and rest for a while?"

"No need, I’m just a bit sleepy," Serena yawned, her watery eyes shimmering as she glared at him fiercely.

"It’s all your fault!"

Last night, Serena was extremely sleepy, but a certain man remained overly spirited, clinging to her without letting go.

Lucas Shaw knew he was at fault and sheepishly touched his nose.

Recalling last night, Lucas Shaw felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

He coughed lightly and gently massaged Serena’s neck, "It’s not just because our Serena is too sweet, I couldn’t control myself."

Lucas Shaw leaned closer, his warm breath caressing the skin behind Serena’s ear, causing her to shiver. She shrank her neck, and her little face blushed, "Don’t talk nonsense!"

Lucas Shaw chuckled, his chest vibrating slightly with the laughter.

He leaned in and gently kissed Serena’s tender cheek, unable to stop smiling.

Just then, the ringtone of a mobile phone suddenly rang out. Serena, smiling, blocked his lips and picked up her phone to answer the call.

Lucas Shaw was pushed aside but wasn’t annoyed; he just nestled his face into the crook of the girl’s neck and gently rubbed.

After answering the call, Serena’s expression grew increasingly ugly. She quietly instructed, "Keep me updated at all times, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Lucas Shaw lifted his face from her shoulder, "What happened? Why do you look so upset?"

Serena hugged his neck, "Honey, I need to go out for a few days."

"Where to?"

"C City, Prosperity Hill."

Lucas Shaw frowned deeply, puzzled, "Isn’t that place currently experiencing a heavy downpour?"

"Yes, a film crew is trapped in the mountains there; I need to lead a team to check on them."

Lucas Shaw’s frown deepened.

Although he knew Serena was no ordinary person, hearing this still weighed heavy on his heart.

Lucas Shaw suddenly had a flash of insight, and blurted out, "Starfare Entertainment, does that have anything to do with you?"

Serena didn’t expect Lucas Shaw to think of the key point so quickly; she touched her nose somewhat sheepishly, "It’s, it’s not really related."

Hearing this, Lucas Shaw slowly sighed in relief.

If he remembered correctly, Starfare Entertainment was an entertainment company under the Horizon Group, which had recently become very prominent, entering the ranks of the top entertainment companies in the country within just three years.

Adrian Shaw, was an artist under Starfare Entertainment.

Speaking of which, he and the mysterious president of Starfare Entertainment had some minor grudges.

Initially, Adrian Shaw wanted to escape Elena Ryan’s control, resolutely wishing to enter the entertainment industry.

His private company owns an entertainment company that is relatively well-known within the country.

Worried about Adrian Shaw facing setbacks in the entertainment industry, he decided to have that company sign Adrian Shaw.

Initially, Adrian Shaw agreed, but was poached by another company halfway.

Fortunately, Starfare Entertainment provided Adrian Shaw with substantial resources, and he has not suffered much over the years.

But Lucas Shaw still remembers this incident vividly.

Serena Summers naturally knew about this, too.

Because it was three years ago when Starfare Entertainment was officially established.

In order to grow the company quickly, Serena instructed her subordinates to poach talent everywhere.

Who would have thought, just a few days later, her subordinates had successfully poached Adrian Shaw and came to her proudly to take credit.

Lucas Shaw had sent his subordinates to find her, hoping to let her allow Adrian Shaw to leave, and he was willing to pay any amount of penalty fee.

However, at that time, she simply did not meet with Lucas Shaw.

Serena looked at Lucas Shaw and suddenly felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

After some thought, Serena still did not tell him about this.

The next morning, Serena got up early, skipped breakfast, and went straight to Starfare Entertainment.

Frank Lane, the president’s assistant, was waiting at the entrance to greet her. Seeing Serena, he immediately came forward and respectfully nodded, "President, the helicopter is ready and can take off at any time."

Serena changed into casual sportswear, her long hair tied high behind her ears in a ponytail, exuding a youthful vitality.

Having been founded for over three years, Frank Lane had seldom seen this president, but every time he did, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

Their president was even more beautiful than the female artists in the company.

If she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely overshadow others!

"Are the rescue materials ready? Also, regarding the filming accident, someone has already uploaded it online, get in touch with the PR team immediately to minimize the negative public opinion from fermenting online," as Serena walked into the company, she instructed Frank Lane.

If Lucas Shaw were here, he would definitely notice that Serena now bore no resemblance to her soft, playful self who liked to cuddle in his arms in the past.

Frank Lane efficiently handled everything Serena had instructed.

Serena sent a message to Lucas Shaw and then boarded the helicopter directly.

Prosperity Hill was currently experiencing a severe storm.

Located in a remote mountainous area with steep terrain and poor transportation and communication conditions, but with excellent natural surroundings.

Frank Lane spoke confidently, reporting everything he had gathered, "According to what we know, Director Vincent Carter is filming in Prosperity Hill, and many well-known actors are trapped in the mountains with him."

"Have you contacted Second Senior Brother? What’s the situation in the mountains now?" Serena’s face was grim as she nervously clutched her phone.

Vincent Carter, Serena’s Second Senior Brother, is the youngest film director in the country, and every film he has made since entering the film industry has won international awards and received critical acclaim.

This time, the film Vincent Carter is shooting is a Republican-era themed film.

To achieve the best effects, Vincent Carter proceeded to Prosperity Hill for location shooting.

Three days ago, Prosperity Hill started experiencing heavy rain, and it’s been said that several severe landslides and mudslides have occurred.

Frank Lane pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his expression turning solemn, "Not yet. The signal in the mountains is weak, we’ve tried to contact Director Carter, but his phone has never gone through."

"How many people are trapped there?"
