Chapter 331

Aurelia was pressured to grab the briefcase on the couch. However, as soon as she picked the briefcase up, a bad feeling overwhelmed her,

Although she didn’t know what was in the briefcase, she still held it gingerly. Unfortunately, her caution could prevent accidents, 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 slammed hard onto the ground.

The contents on the inside were tossed out and revealed an expensive looking necklace. The necklace 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 necklace and paled. That necklace was worth 50 million? That amount of money was unimaginable to Aurelia.

Eva darted over to grab the necklace and held each half in her hand. She turned around and glared 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 necklace was borrowed from an anonymous collector on behalf of the magazine for the shoot. You’ve just broken it. How are you planning to compensate for this?” Eva demanded.

Aurelia looked at the necklace, feeling a bit lost. Her mind went blank and she couldn’t recall how it all happened. She had been careful as she was afraid of being accused of being careless. How could there have been a wire by her feet?

Aurelia felt the need to explain. She composed 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? Explain yourself.” She indicated to the spot Aurelia had just passed.

Aurelia glanced 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 black wire on the ground just moments.

ago.

Eva frowned. “Aurelia, even if you wanted to shift the blame, can’t you come up with at better excuse? Are you trying to accuse the wires we used of tripping you? Our shoot wires are all specially marked and aren’t randomly placed. You must be mistaken.”

Upon hearing the mention of wires, the others hurried to distance themselves. They were afraid of being accused of breaking the 50 million dollar necklace.

“Miss, please don’t make baseless accusations. 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 place things randomly. How could there be a wire lying around to trip you?

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

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

had booked the entire venue.
