When Daisy Ginger received the news, she was at home having dinner. Hearing the call from Helen Hyde's agent, she almost thought it was some kind of April Fool's joke.
She didn't even finish her dinner, put down her chopsticks, and rushed to the police station.
Helen Hyde at Royal Entertainment was considered a medium-level celebrity, holding three or four second or third-tier brand endorsements. All of which had contracts stating that any scandal or personal stain during the contract period would cost Royal Entertainment dearly in breach penalties.
At 11:30, Daisy Ginger, panting heavily, arrived at the police station. February weather in Tsing City was still freezing, and she wore a layer of thin sweat, her breath causing the air before her to blur.
