She turned to Stella with a sorry look.
“You don’t have to go in, Stella. I’ll figure something else out.”
“It’s fine. I’ll get the diamond,” Stella replied casually.
“Don’t,” Luka quickly said, stopping her.
“You don’t need to go in.
It’s too cold.”
He took off his coat, handed it to Stella, and then jumped into the pool in just his shirt.
“Ah!” Ashley gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
Surprised by Luka’s action, Stella stood by the pool, shouting, “Luka, get out! We’re about to start filming.”
Luka never appeared and continued his search in the pool.
He soon found the diamond underwater and got out. His agent rushed over, wrapping him in a bath towel.
“What in the world are you doing? Look at you, all made up and now soaking wet! It’s freezing out here. You could catch a cold.”
Luka just shot him a displeased look, and the agent fell silent.

Stella was stunned. Suddenly, they heard Luther’s angry voice.
“Who let Luka jump into the pool?” Luther demanded furiously.
“We have an important scene to shoot soon. Do you get it?”
Ashley was scared of Luther. She looked down, trying to avoid his stare, and said meekly, “It was just a little mishap.”
“Here’s the diamond,” Luka said, his voice sharp. He handed the diamond to her.
Ashley was too frightened to think straight. She took the diamond carefully and thanked him.
“Thanks, Luka.”
“Someone get Luka’s makeup fixed, quick! And his costume, is it okay?”
Luther quickly got everything in order.
Alina, who had been quiet beside him, suddenly said, “Hold on a second.”
Narrowing her eyes, she looked at Ashley with suspicion.
“This doesn’t look like an accident. The bracelet is a high-end brand and was going to be used in the shoot, right? Shouldn’t it have been thoroughly inspected? How could it have such a big problem Like a loose diamond? Is the brand trying to ruin its own name?”
Alina’s accusation made Ashley’s heart race.
The truth was, the bracelet was fine. Ashley had tampered with the diamond to create trouble for Stella.
Visibly nervous, Ashley stuttered, “I… I’m not sure, but the diamond seemed loose when I got the bracelet, so I asked Stella to check it.”
“Is that so?” Alina didn’t buy it.
Though Ashley tried to sound firm, her face betrayed her guilt.

Familiar with these petty tricks, Alina was fed up.
“We have cameras here. Let’s look into this thoroughly,” Alina proposed, after eyeing Ashley and turning to Luther.
“And if we find the culprit, they should be kicked off the set.”
Luther, who despised conflict and plotting, quickly agreed.
“Review the footage immediately.”
Ashley’s face went pale. She was in a panic, realizing that the cameras would expose her.
This film was crucial for her career in show business.
“Wait…” She finally decided to come clean.
“I did it. I set Stella up on purpose.”
