The show is going to begin. Keep a careful eye on the situation."The two watched intently as a middle-aged woman and her bulky male companion emerged from the elevator.There was a scream, then tears, and the middle-aged woman went to her knees.Before their eyes, a scene from a dramatized soap opera from the 1990s was set up, with Laura Stevens lamenting the enormous sum of money she had wasted and the sudden collapse of her tasteful Baby Violet product launch.Taylor and Martin also saw a man who appeared feminine try to sneak out, only to be stopped and beaten to a pulp by a gang of bouncers.Martin Lewis exclaimed fiercely, "So he's the culprit, an executive in Tony Ma's family!""I had no idea that Elijah Ma would betray us and sell the formula that

A lone human being hobbled into the building's foyer. He had a mask over his face, revealing only his eyes, and was dressed in a heavy coat and cap.
