NovelEnglishChapter 562 The Investigation "Oh? Do you remember who it was?" the officer inquired.
Margot thought carefully, then looked at Zelena and firmly stated, "It was Zelena's assistant, Celeste." What was meant to happen would happen-it was unavoidable.
All eyes turned toward Zelena.
Zelena forced a smile and asked, "What? Really? Are you sure?" Margot's tone was unwavering. "Yes, I am sure. Why would I lie in front of the police?" Having changed her clothes, Celeste entered the room and made her way through the crowd. She quickly surveyed the room, sensing that something was wrong, but maintained a calm facade as she said, "There's a commotion outside!" Zelena subtly glanced at her, exchanging a look.
"You're here. We were just talking about you." Celeste played along. "Talking about me? What about?" Zelena questioned, "Why don't you explain why your clothes match the ones in the video?" Celeste feigned surprise. "Huh? What video? That can't be true." Polly remained silent, simply watching Zelena and Celeste with a scrutinizing gaze.

Celeste pretended to suddenly realize. "Oh, you mean that! I haven't worn that plaid shirt in ages. I accidentally got it wet when I was getting water for Ms. Blake, so I took it off and changed it into something else. I've already thrown it away. Oh no! Could someone have worn my shirt to do something bad?" Zelena chimed in, "What? How could this happen? You're so careless. Why did you throw away the shirt?" Celeste replied, "It was an old shirt, dirty and wet-no point in keeping it." The two of them were putting on quite a convincing act.
Meanwhile, Gilbert was more concerned about the situation outside.
He anxiously asked, "You said there's a commotion outside? What's going on? Are the fans causing trouble?" Celeste nodded and replied, "Indeed! There's already a commotion.
They're saying if the event doesn't start soon, they're going to leave They've also recorded a lot of They've als videos on their phones, and it looks like they're planning to post them online to complain." Gilbert roared "That's unacceptable! We need to start the event immediately! Officer, you can continue your investigation, and we'll fully cooperate. But the event needs to start now! We can't delay any longer." Gilbert urged for the event to begin as soon as possible.
Celeste insisted that she had changed her clothes and that the ones she was wearing now weren't the sas those in the video.
The officer only needed their cooperation for the investigation and had no strong opinion on whether the event should proceed. Now, it was up to Polly.
If Polly was willing to let the matter slide and allow the event to proceed, the officer wouldn't have any reason to delay things further. Gilbert and the other staff members all looked expectantly at Polly.
Polly knew that continuing the investigation on-site would be the ideal opportunity to expose the truth. However, Zelena and Celeste vehemently denied any involvement. While the video on Polly's phone could clear her name, it couldn't definitively prove that Celeste was the one who planted the necklace.
As the victim, Polly had every right to request that the police continue their investigation on the spot.
But...
After all, she was a guest this brand event and had a partnership as friend of the brand.

If the event ended before it even started because of her she would gain a rather undesirable reputation in the fashion world. Although she didn't intend to make a significant impact in the fashion industry, she was still an artist.
Offending the brand wouldn't benefit her in any way.
As Polly weighed her options,
Zelena's eyes flashed with a dark gleam, and she said, "Perhaps we should continue the investigation ver This matter concerns a lot of people, especially Polly's reputation. The person who framed others is truly despicable and must be caught." Polly frowned slightly.
What was Zelena up to? Was this a trick?
Gilbert immediately objected, "No way! If we delay any longer a call the preparations for the event will be for nothing, and it will be a fatal blow to the brand's reputation."
