A Film Queen

Chapter 141 Call the Police

Joy almost threw up right in front of her as soon as she heard those words.

How could someone be so pretentious? Acting all innocent and pure, looking pitiful on the outside, but speaking so aggressively, as if not agreeing with her would mean they had no compassion.

If she wasn’t worried about bringing trouble to Milly, she would’ve slammed the door in her face.

Joy, what’s wrong?”

A clear voice came from inside the room–it was Milly.

Holding back her disgust, Joy briefly described the situation. “Milly, Ms. Stephanie said she lost something valuable and wants to check our lounge.”

Milly stood up and walked to the door, glancing at the crowd outside with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She had thought Stephanie might wait until she wrapped up filming to make a fuss, but it seemed she couldn’t hold back and had come to stir up trouble already.

And bringing so many people with her–it was clear she was determined to find something incriminating in her room.

Curling her lips into a smile, she said, “Ms. Stephanie, since you’ve lost something so important, I suggest you call the police. After all, this is their job, and given its high value, they would take it seriously.”

Stephanie persisted, “But calling the police would definitely have a negative impact on the crew. If word gets out, all of Mr. Hawkins’s effort on this film would be wasted.”

Those who were eager to curry favour with Stephanie because of her status as the Burnetts now began to side with her, criticising Milly who was blocking the door.

“Ms. Milly, just let Stephanie take a look. If you have nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear. Stephanie is just anxious.”

“Yeah, that expensive bracelet is really important to her.”

“Whether it’s expensive or not, it’s still her property. Isn’t it normal to look for something lost? Why call the police for something that can be resolved on our own? That would just waste public resources.”
