Chapter 2265
He had become nothing more to her than a convenient tool.
Balfour escorted Diana to the precinct, and the officers who had last dealt with the drama crew were shell-shocked.
How could one acting troupe be plagued by one incident after another?
This time, it had even escalated to an attempt on someone’s life!
The motive and methods behind Diana’s actions sent shivers down their spines. Was she really capable of such brutality towards a fellow actor, all for her selfish gains?
Even as she arrived at the precinct, there was not a hint of remorse in her demeanor.
One look at her, and the interrogating officer knew they were in for a tough battle. In contrast, Kael seemed like a man whose defenses had crumbled; he would likely be
easier to handle.
Balfour took a seat outside the interrogation room, waiting for the outcome.
Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. If they had not caught Diana, he would never have been able to rest easy about Ivy’s safety.
“Diana, why did you suddenly show up in the lounge tonight? According to other crew members, production has been halted for over two days. What do you have to say for yourself?”
Diana offered a carefree smile. “Colton always encouraged us to treat the set like our own home. Do I really need a reason to be at my home?”
The officer was not buying it. “Cut the act, Diana. This is a police station, not a theater. Spare me the theatrics.”
Her smile slowly faded. “Then I’ve got nothing else to say. I want my lawyer. I won’t speak a word until my lawyer gets here.”
The interrogation had stalled the previous night at her sealed lips, only making progress thanks to a strategy suggested by Balfour.
Maybe it was best for everyone to rest up and come back prepared for the fight ahead.
Balfour’s next move was to meet with the bigwig at Starlight Entertainment. He was curious to see if they would dare go head-to-head with the Howard Group to save their troubled actress.
The CEO of Starlight Entertainment was rattled; he had never anticipated that an actress they had signed, whom they thought had a promising future, would cause so much
trouble.

Their headhunter had raved about her, not just her talent but also her ambition. But they had not expected this kind of ruthless ambition.
The very thought of confronting Balfour made him shiver.
Actresses were a dime a dozen; they did not need to cling to her.
Only Diana was left hanging by a thread, unsure if anyone would come to her rescue.
She had just joined the company and had not made significant contributions yet. But that headhunter had been very optimistic about her prospects, suggesting that stardom was within reach if she kept her nose to the grindstone.
She hoped that the company would consider her potential and save her career.
Otherwise, she really did not know who else to turn to.
Who would have thought that man would catch her red-handed?
But it was Ivy she despised the most for slipping through her fingers.
In the end, it was her moment of weakness that allowed Ivy to escape.
Diana was filled with regret. If it were not for Ivy, she would be basking in the glow of a bright future.
In the crew, her word was law; no one dared to challenge her. How had she ended up in this mess, her fate now in the hands of others?
And all of this was thanks to Ivy, the novice who had appeared out of nowhere!
Diana let out a cold laugh. Life was so unfair. Why did Ivy get to have all the good fortune? She had only wanted to level the playing field a bit. Why could these people not understand her?
She felt like the whole world was against her; no one understood her struggles, not even Kael.
