She persisted, “Stella, this isn’t very professional of you. It would be best if you had managed my wardrobe, yet here you are, tardy. Do you realize Luther is quite displeased?”
Elizabeth watched Stella’s expression closely, deriving pleasure from any sign of discomfort.
As long as Stella was unhappy, Elizabeth felt content.
“Stella, could it be that returning the lead role to me has made you resentful, prompting you to create problems?” Elizabeth continued with a smug smile, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
Stella took a deep breath, attempting to quell her rising anger.
“Elizabeth, did you orchestrate what happened to me on the road?”
Wearing an indifferent expression, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and replied, “You were cornered by Luca’s fans. What does it have to do with me? If you’re not involved in any shady business, then why would anyone criticize you, right?”
She then glanced meaningfully at Luka.
“I didn’t disclose the details to you. How do you know so much?”
Stella fixed her gaze on Elizabeth, her tone insistent. “Are you still going to deny it?”
Elizabeth’s face paled as she recoiled from the intensity of Stella’s gaze.

Stella’s frown deepened. “Stop making excuses. I know it was you.
Elizabeth, consider this a warning-if you dare to pull another stunt, be prepared for the consequences. I will uncover the truth, and it won’t bode well for you.”
While they were talking, Stella’s attention was drawn to Luther’s voice, signaling the imminent start of the next scene.
Stella ceased wasting time on Elizabeth. Instead, she donned a professional smile and hurried to do her work.
Observing Stella’s facade of composure, Luka couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her. Simultaneously, he made a firm decision.

The clamor gradually subsided as the crowd noticed Matthew approaching.
“This is Mr. Clark, CEO of Prosperity Group,” Breck announced, introducing Matthew’s identity to the gathering. “Mr. Clark is here today to provide you all with an explanation.”
After the introduction, Breck turned to Matthew. Seeing him nod in agreement, Breck continued, “We offer each of you $50, 000 in compensation for the inconvenience caused by this situation. If you have no objections, the funds will be disbursed upon signing the contract later today.”
Before Breck could finish, a resident named Killian Hewitt was the first to voice his dissent. “This project encroaches upon our family’s ancestral graves. Do you understand the significance of that?
How can mere money suffice? I don’t believe your offer demonstrates sincerity in resolving the issue.”
