    Although she didn’t know what was in the briefcase, she still held it gingerly. Unfortunately, her caution


    could prevent idents, but not against schemes.


    In the next moment, the electric wire by Aurelia’s feet moved and tripped her. As much as she tried to


    protect the briefcase in her hand, it still slipped out and mmed hard onto the ground.


    The contents on the inside were tossed out and revealed an expensive looking ne. The ne


    snapped in half as soon as it hit the ground.


    While Aurelia steadied herself, everyone around her screamed.


    “Ah!” someone shouted.


    The photographer wailed, “It’s over!”


    “We borrowed that piece of jewelry that’s worth 50 million. We could sell everything we owned and it


    still wouldn’t amount to that much!” another staff cried out.


    As Aurelia listened to the staff, she stared at the ne and paled. That ne was worth 50


    million? That amount of money was unimaginable to Aurelia.


    Eva darted over to grab the ne and held each half in her hand. She turned around and red at


    Aurelia.


    “Look at what you’ve done! Are you trying to get us into trouble?” Eva snapped.


    “No… I” Aurelia stammered, only to be interrupted.


    “No? This ne was borrowed from an anonymous collector on behalf of the magazine for the


    shoot. You’ve just broken it. How are you nning topensate for this?” Eva demanded.


    Aurelia looked at the ne, feeling a bit lost. Her mind went nk and she couldn’t recall how it all

    Aurelia felt the need to exin. Sheposed herself and said, “Ms. Hanks, there was a wire on the


    ground just now that caused me to trip.”

    Eva scoffed and retorted, “A wire? Where is the wire? Exin yourself.” She indicated to the spot


    Aurelia had just passed.


    Aurelia nced over and was stunned. It felt like she had just woken up from a dream. There was


    nothing on the ground and there was no wire in sight.


    Where had the wire gone? She had clearly seen a ck wire on the ground just moments.

    Eva frowned. “Aurelia, even if you wanted to shift the me, can’t youe up with at better excuse?


    Are you trying to use the wires we used of tripping you? Our shoot wires are all specially marked


    and aren’t randomly ced. You must be mistaken.”


    Upon hearing the mention of wires, the others hurried to distance themselves. They were afraid of


    being used of breaking the 50 million dor ne.


    “Miss, please don’t make baseless usations. We always organize the wires before the shoot,” one


    staff insisted.


    Another person nodded. “That’s right. Ms. Hanks hates seeing a mess on set, so we’re not allowed to


    ce things randomly. How could there be a wire lying around to trip you?

    Everyone chimed in, all eager to pin all the me on Aurelia.


    Aurelia stood still. She realized she was surrounded by Eva’s supporters as IN Magazine


    had booked the entire venue.
