Seeing Bella turn her expectant gaze towards the onlooker Rhonda, a hint of a mocking, triumphant smile flashed in Farah Garner’s eyes.
Fool, still hasn’t figured out the situation. With this pig brain, thinking she can make it in the entertainment industry, she’s too naive.
The crew members also looked towards Rhonda by the door, a faint smile appearing on their calm faces, clearly familiar with her, "Rhonda, what do you think?"
"Brother Lawson, Sister Acker wasn’t wrong, she really was with us at the gathering just now." Rhonda paused, then suddenly added a twist, "But because everyone was speaking quite directly, Sister Acker didn’t quite like it, so she left after a short while. As for what happened after, I’m not sure."
Upon hearing this, Bella’s eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"
Rhonda’s words seemed to verify what Bella had just said, but actually hinted that she came back shortly and had plenty of time to do other things. Like stealing Farah’s expensive Jade Buddha.
Though Bella was an orphan from a young age, everyone in the orphanage, whether the headmistress or the helping caregivers, were good people. Though life was a bit poor, she never encountered the dark side of human nature.
Later, following Damian, she had even less exposure to those disgusting people and things. Even when Cecilia occasionally tried to stir up trouble, Damian was always there to back her up, never letting her feel isolated and helpless.
But now, as Bella looked around at the crowd gathered in the room to watch the drama, regardless of whether it was Farah, Rhonda, the crew members, or other new actors, they were all looking at her with malicious speculation in their eyes, already seeing her as a thief.
So many people, and not a single one stood up to speak for her; they were all pressing her to make a fool of herself, wanting to see her joke.
Bella clenched her hands tightly, feeling extremely wronged, but at this moment, she must not show weakness. She no longer had anyone to rely on; in the future, she might meet many more people like Farah and Rhonda, and she had to rely on herself to deal with them.
"What’s going on? Why is everyone gathered here?" Sharon’s voice rang out from outside the door.
The impatience on the crew members’ faces diminished considerably after hearing her.
Sharon was different from these newbies; she was already a veteran in the circle. Even though her fame was not what it once was, in the entertainment industry, she was considered somewhat outdated, but her qualifications were still there. Even the director had to give her some respect.
The crew members walked out with a smile, politely saying, "Ms. Cheney, sorry, it’s just a small matter, sorry for disturbing your rest."
"It’s okay." Sharon smiled, "Lawson, what exactly happened?"
Seeing Sharon pressing for answers, the crew members had no choice but to explain the whole story they heard.
Sharon nodded, "I see. But I trust Bella’s character; she’s not the type to have sticky fingers." With that, she already walked into the room.
The newbies gathered at the door quickly made way, not daring to easily offend a veteran in the circle.
Farah gritted her teeth secretly, casting a subtle glare at Sharon. She just hoped this old woman wouldn’t ruin her plan.
Sharon intentionally looked at Farah and Rhonda before walking up to Bella, saying, "Bella, you’ve been wronged. But since we’re upright, we need not fear shadows; can you let Ms. Cheney take a look at your luggage?"
