Chapter 570 Web of Deception

Zelena returned to her seat, letting the makeup artist start removing her makeup.

Since time was tight, she didn't even get a chance to review the photos from the shoot before she hurriedly left with Celeste.

When they arrived back at the company, the police immediately took Celeste away for questioning.

The police showing up at the company caused quite a stir, even reaching the CEO of Marina Media.

The CEO, Marlon Brewer, and the higher-ups were all in the middle of a meeting when they saw Celeste being escorted out.

Zelena stood there, feeling their eyes on her.

Clifford showed up late. "Lena, what's going on?"

Zelena forced a smile. "I'm not sure. I think it's about the missing jewelry from that last event. They're probably just asking Celeste for some details. She should be back soon. I'm exhausted from the shoot, so I'm going to rest for a bit." With that, Zelena quickly made her exit.

Clifford followed her.
