She persisted, “Ste, 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 Ste’s expression closely, deriving pleasure from any sign of difort.


    As long as Ste was unhappy, Elizabeth felt content.


    “Ste, 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.


    Ste 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 nced meaningfully at Luka.


    “I didn’t disclose the details to you.


    How do you know so much?”


    Ste 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 Ste’s gaze.


    After a tense silence, she tried to defend herself.


    “This morning, rumors about your affair with Luka circted on numerous gossip sites.


    Even with my eyes closed, I could foresee today’s events!”


    Ste’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, Ste’s attention was drawn to Luther’s voice, signaling the imminent start of the next scene.


    Ste ceased wasting time on Elizabeth.


    Instead, she donned a professional smile and hurried to do her work.


    Observing Ste’s facade ofposure, Luka couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.


    Simultaneously, he made a firm decision.
