Ste, on the other hand, couldn’t shake a sense of unease.


    Seizing the moment, Elizabeth began, “Elin, please tell Luther what you overheard.


    Your testimony will prove my innocence.


    ”


    Her voice dropped to a near whisper, but Elin felt the implicit threat.


    Looking up at Elizabeth, she sensed a veiled warning in her smile.


    Luther only cared about one thing: to end this farce.


    “Just tell us, Elin.


    What did you hear?”


    Elin flinched, meeting Ste’s gaze with a flicker of guilt.


    “I was in the bathroom.


    I didn’t see anything.

    Elizabeth frowned, her eyes betraying her dissatisfaction.

    Under Ste’s unwavering gaze, Elin stammered, “I…I can’t say.

    Luther intervened, too impatient to watch any longer.


    “Enough.


    Don’t let this dy things.


    We’ll address it after the filming is done!”


    As Luther’s directive was issued, the set sprang into action, everyone focusing on their tasks.


    Elizabeth, aware of Luther’s firm character, knew she must wait to deal with Ste, despite her eagerness.


    Luther barked orders at the makeup artist.

    We have a scene with her and Luka today.

    After a brief nce at Elizabeth, he departed, hands sped behind his back.


    Meanwhile, Luka encountered Ste alone in the bathroom.


    Having heard about the incident from the staff, he approached her with a look of concern.
