Annie Anne’s tone was very light, with her head slightly tilted, giving off a sowhat nonchalant deanor.
However, there was a hint of interrogation in her words.
Facing Annie Anne’s scrutinizing gaze, Riley Thompson tightened her grip slightly, but instead of answering Annie’s question, she countered with her own:
"Annie, are you suspecting that I knocked over the props?"
There was a trace of hurt in Riley’s eyes.
Initially, everyone was very surprised to see Riley proactively greet Charlotte Thompson.
On the internet, there were many comparisons between Charlotte and Riley. Moreover, encountering soone who looks so much like you in real life would likely make anyone feel sowhat awkward at first eting.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Riley and Charlotte chatted pleasantly, seeming very familiar with each other.
Just when everyone thought there was no more drama to witness, they heard Annie Anne’s conversation with Riley, which imdiately drew their attention.
At this mont, whispers among the crowd began to stand out amidst the music.
"What are they talking about now? What props fell over, an accident happened?"
"Didn’t Riley and Annie Anne previously film the sa TV series? Maybe it has sothing to do with events within the crew."
"But why hasn’t the dia reported anything about this?"
In fact, when Justin Battleson got injured on set, the director imdiately blocked all information from going public, so that incident was never disclosed externally.
Now they could only guess a thing or two from Annie Anne and Riley’s conversation.
"Annie, I don’t know what I did wrong to make you suspect like this, but regardless, you can’t falsely accuse without any proof."
Riley paused at this point, then turned her gaze to Charlotte Thompson’s face.
There seed to be a fleeting complex expression in Riley’s eyes, but the change was so swift that Charlotte didn’t catch it.
"Or is it that Miss Thompson, you also think I intentionally tried to harm you because I wasn’t where you two saw?"
Upon hearing Riley’s words, Charlotte’s brow furrowed slightly.
She clearly hadn’t said anything, but now Riley seed to be setting the narrative.
Charlotte’s silence looked like a guilty conscience to Riley, giving her enough confidence to imdiately say to Charlotte,
"If I did anything before that made Miss Thompson and Miss Anne dissatisfied, I apologize here, but I also hope such accusations of framing won’t appear again."
This solo act by Riley left the clueless onlookers with their own speculations, and naturally, the balance tipped in Riley’s favor due to her one-sided story.
Charlotte looked at Riley in front of her, who slightly lowered her eyes, appearing to have suffered a great grievance in a delicate manner.
This made Charlotte chuckle to herself.
During their ti in the crew, she didn’t notice Riley’s acting skills standing out, but now it seed as if she had beco a different person altogether.
"Miss Riley, the one slandering others is you."
Annie Anne fiddled with the ring on her finger, the silver band reflecting a faint gleam under the party lights.
"I didn’t say anything, so where are all these words coming from?"
