She didn’t expect the reporter to ask such a question.
Her hands subconsciously clenched into tight fists, and she was silent.
After a long, tense pause, she finally managed to answer uneasily, “I’m not misleading them.
I am just telling the truth.
I wasn’t the only one who saw Ste and Leo’s video on the set.
”
She paused to gather her thoughts and continued, “That video has had a detrimental impact on the film’s production.
I want Ste to apologize, not for myself but for the entire crew.
We need to move forward andplete the filming smoothly.
Besides, when Leo broke into the vi in the middle of the night, it caused me significant emotional distress.
I want to resolve this matter quickly.
I want to immediately recover and return to filming.
”
“You always im you are doing this for the crew,” the reporter continued.
“But why is your co-star Luka defending Ste despite the huge public bacsh? Luka proves that Ste is a trustworthy person.
Are you implying that Ste was too naive to take Leo to the set?”
This question brought Elizabeth back to her senses.
She regained herposure, shook her head, and answered, “I don’t know.
Honestly, I don’t care about it.
The rtionship between Ste and me is purely professional.
So, I can’t speak to her character beyond that.
What I can say is Leo mistook me for her that fateful might.
And because of that, I’ve been subjected to an onught of unwarranted pain.
If people don’t believe me, it’s their choice.
I cannot force them to change their minds.
In my case, I have evidence to prove that Ste isn’t as innocent as she appears.
Just wait and see.
”
At this moment, Matthew pulled over in front of the venue of the press conference.
Then, he reached and held Ste’s cold hand.
He squeezed her hand and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry.
Just go in there and tell the truth.
”
Ste nodded and took a deep breath.
“Okay.
Then, she opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the building.
Matthew watched Ste’s receding back.
When she was out of his sight he took out his phone and dialed Fernando’s number.
“Bring Rose here first.
Then, wait for my call.
”
As soon as Ste walked in, she saw Luther standing at the side with a stern expression.
He looked at her and said, “Are you going to finally give me and the rest of the cast and crew some answers today?”
In a flurry of nerves, Ste recalled Matthew’sforting words, nodding firmly.
“Count on it.
This time, we’ll see it through to a proper resolution.
”
As she affirmed her stance, Elizabeth approached.
Catching Ste’s deration, Elizabeth’s lips curled with a hint of disdain.
“If that’s settled, let’s proceed inside,” Luther dered, prompting Ste and Elizabeth to follow without a word.
As the trio stepped onto the stage, the cameras below shed incessantly, like a chorus of fireworks.
Luther settled into his seat and addressed the eager crowd, his voice resonating in the room.
“Today’s press conference aims to address recent rumors.
We’re here to provide rity to the public and ensure the smooth continuation of our movie’s production.

With that, he passed the microphone to Ste.
Ste grasped the microphone firmly, meeting the gaze of countless cameras.
Drawing a deep breath, she began, “Leo and I were indeed involved romantically before.

Her admission elicited gasps and murmurs throughout the venue.
Ste’s typically serene eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
Her grip on the microphone tightened almost imperceptibly.
“But we haven’t been in touch for years.
Then, out of nowhere, Leo showed up on set, using Elizabeth’s makeup artist to drug and attempt to assault me.
