Chapter 924

“Uncover the truth and clear my reputation.”

Her replies flowed smoothly, calculated and airtight. She was fully prepared for questions about the theft.

To her astonishment, the first reporter who approached, holding out a recorder, posed a question she hadn’t anticipated in the slightest.

“Miss Wall, there are allegations claiming you avoided every risky scene by relying solely on body doubles. Some even accuse you of attacking members of the production team. Are they true?”

Briley’s grin faltered. She blinked, unsure if she’d heard correctly.

What on earth did that have to do with the investigation?

The media wasted no time pressing in.

“Can you confirm or deny the accusations, Miss Wall?”

“It’s said you behaved like royalty—arriving whenever you pleased and vanishing just as quickly.”

“Did you physically harm anyone during the shoot? What’s your response?”

Sadie paused briefly, then stepped silently onto the carpet, barefoot. She crossed the room and peered through the peephole.

It was Tina.

Opening the door, she noticed Tina avoiding eye contact.

Tina held a key card, her voice a whisper.

“Good morning, Sadie. They’ve fixed your room’s lock.”

Sadie accepted the key card with a nod, her face unreadable.
