Chapter 2139
“Come watch the security footage with me, Ivy. I want to hear a plausible story,” said Colton, his tone a mix of
concern and suspicion.
Ivy’s mind was clouded with confusion, and she followed him to the monitor.
The grainy video showed the inside of Diana’s dressing room. On the screen, someone wearing familiar attire was
opening Diana’s door, glancing around with a furtiveness that didn’t sit right.
Colton tapped the screen, “See anything off about this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking it was some kind of test, Ivy pointed out her observations, “First, that outfit looks familiar. Secondly, why’s
that person peeking around before slipping into Diana’s room? It’s like she’s sneaking in… Did Diana lose
something?”
Colton lit a cigarette, a silent cue for her to look closer.
“Just familiar?” he prodded.
Upon closer inspection, Ivy’s heart sank. The person in the video was wearing the same clothes she had on today!
“I need an explanation, Ivy,” Colton said, taking a drag from his cigarette.
Ivy felt the absurdity of it all. What was there to explain?
She hadn’t been near Diana’s dressing room. What did she know about someone else wearing her outfit in the
video?
To make matters worse, the person had dodged the camera so her face wasn’t captured.
“What do you want me to explain, Colton? Did you call me back here because you think it’s me? But I didn’t do
anything. I have no reason to steal from anyone.”
Ivy’s face twisted in anger. She never imagined she’d be pegged as the set’s thief.
“If it was just a stolen item, that’d be one thing. But Diana’s hurt her foot! A thumbtack was found in her shoe!”
piped up a voice from the crowd, a woman who had always made snide remarks about Ivy.
“Diana’s injured, not just missing stuff?” Ivy sought confirmation from Colton.
“Yeah, she’s hurt. And it’s going to delay today’s shoot,” Colton replied with a frown.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I feel sorry for her injury. But even if Diana’s foot is injured, that’s got nothing to do with me,” Ivy insisted..
“How do you explain the person on camera, wearing your clothes, having a similar build to you?” asked the
cameraman, not out of spite for Ivy but tired of the drama that was disrupting the shoot.
His point was valid. A peaceful set was beneficial for everyone, and yet, here they were dealing with an incident
that had even led to an injury.
“I don’t know what to say. I don’t think I should have to explain because I never set foot in Diana’s dressing room!
How can I explain something I didn’t do?”
Ivy was at a loss, condemned by all around her.
