Beatrice had been living on earth longer than the young people did, so she was quite confident in her judgment of people.


    ...


    Ste quickly ran to fetch her own bag.


    Her assistant was not around, and with such a big bag, it was a bit difficult to find a small pack of tissues.


    Lucas walked up to her when he saw her rummaging through the bag.


    Ste thought he was going to help her, so she smiled to reassure him.


    "Please give me a moment, Lucas. My assistant usually helps me with organizing my bag. I don''t know where she put the tissues, so it''s a bit difficult to find them. But don''t worry, I know there''s a pack of tissues in my bag. I''ll find them right away!"


    Lucas watched her, and while Ste lowered her head, he reached around from behind her and gave the bag a little push.


    The bag, already heavy, became a bit unwieldy for Ste, and with that sudden movement, the entire bag fell to the ground.


    "Ah-"


    Things scattered everywhere, and Ste was startled.


    She was about to crouch down to pick up the items when there was a sudden gasp from around her.


    "Did you guys see that? The outfit in Miss Ste''s bag! The one captured on the surveince camera that day. Isn''t it the same as Melody''s outfit?"


    Someone keenly spotted the same set of clothing as Melody''s had fallen out of Ste''s bag.


    A subtle smirk appeared on Lucas'' lips; this was exactly the effect he wanted.


    "Hey, you''re right! Not only the color, but the style is exactly the same, too! If I remember correctly, Miss Ste never used to wear this kind of clothing, right? Do you guys think..."


    The crew members exchanged suspicious nces with each other. Ste had always embraced vibrant and morous styles, never opting for simple and understated colors. How could an outfit identical to Melody''s, which was simple and unadorned, end up in her bag?


    "Do you think it''s possible the person on the surveince footage wasn''t really Melody? After all, she did keep insisting she didn''t do it..."


    Some people started to waver.


    After all, the surveince footage from that day captured the outfit but failed to show the person''s face. The person had been extremely cautious, skillfully avoiding any cameras that could capture their face, and they even wore a mask.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Ste started to panic at the ensuing discussions around her.


    She had no idea how that outfit ended up in her bag. She distinctly remembered leaving it in the coatroom at home.


    What frightened her more was the possibility that Lucas would start to doubt her upon hearing the discussions.


    She quickly crouched and hastily gathered all the scattered items back into her bag.


    As she did, Ste awkwardly exined to Lucas, "Hold on, Lucas! I might be out of tissues, so I''ll go elsewhere to find some... Oops! Everything fell out. Huh? Where did this piece of clothinge from? It looks so familiar! That''s strange. How did this outfit end up falling out of my bag? It''s not mine for sure!"


    Ste tightly clutched the clothing, raised it, and scanned the surroundings. "Did one of you identally drop your clothes into my bag? The zipper on my bag wasn''t closed just now. Maybe someone mistakenly ced their clothes in my bag?"
