Polly remained oblivious to the impending disaster even after returning from the restroom.
It wasn't until she saw the diamond necklace fall out of her makeup bag that she felt as though she had plunged into an icy abyss. She had been framed! Had it not been for Violeta's prior warning, Polly's career and life would have been utterly ruined.
With trembling fingers, Polly extracted the tiny memory card from inside the plush toy.
She exclaimed with a shaking voice, "This recorded everything that happened in the room earlier! "I also have a backup video on my phone, but I haven't had a chance to check it yet.
"You all accusedof stealing the necklace, callinga thief? "Fine, let's see what really happened in the room just now!" Gosh! Polly actually had this up her sleeve! Margot was elated. "Thank goodness, Ms. Tillery, we're saved!" Zelena, standing at the doorway, froze for a split second.
"Ms. Blake-" Celeste panicked.
Zelena quickly regained her composure and said sternly, "Don't panic. Let's leave first." The two discreetly exited the room and stepped into an empty corridor.
"What should we do?" Celeste was frantic, looking anxiously at Zelena.
She was the one who had done it. If she was discovered, she would be finished! Zelena's expression was grave as she carefully considered their options. "When you went in, you did wea the mask and hat like I told you to right?" Celeste nodded. "Yes." "Then there's no need to worry," Zelena assured her.
"But Polly caught it on video," Celeste said.
"So what?" Zelena countered. "As long as your face isn't visible, she can't prove it was you." Even so, Celeste was still extremely nervous.

"But what if they investigate the fingerprints on the necklace " "So many people just searched the room, and many touched the necklace," Zelena interrupted. "Are Swnove you sure your fingerprints are still on it? "Besides, you're my assistant. If you were helpingwith the necklace and your fingerprints were on it, would that be strange?" Hearing Zelena's words, Celeste calmed down a bit.
"What were you wearing when you went into her dressing room?" Zelena inquired. "The soutfit you have on now?" Celeste shook her head. "No, I was worried about being caught on the blind spot of thecamera, so I took off my jacket in There were blind spots in the surveillance, but there were still areas that weren't.

Celeste had been cautious enough to remove her jacket in the blind spot, enter to plant the necklace, and then put her jacket back on. Additionally, Zelena had instructed her to wear a hat and mask. "If that's the case, then even if Polly did capture something, it wouldn't prove it was you." Zelena was much calmer than Celeste. "Don't worry, I doubt she'll make a big deal out of this." After all, Polly was a celebrity.
The event had already been delayed, and the fans outside were getting impatient.
Today's headlines were set.
