Upon hearing Camilla's words, Eleanor showed no reaction and calmly walked to the locker, asking, "Water or coffee?"
Camilla tapped her fingers and replied straightforwardly, "Coffee, please."
After searching for a while, Eleanor finally pulled out a pack of instant coffee from the back. She tore open the packaging, - poured it into a cup, and added hot water. Instantly, the aroma of coffee filled the entire room. After handing the coffee to Camilla, Eleanor sat down across from her and got straight to the point. "What did you meani by?"
Camilla stirred her coffee with a spoon and replied with a smirk, I meant exactly what I said. Gloria wants to collaborate with me to frame you during tomorrow's livestream and tarnish your reputation. As for the reason..." She sincerely glanced at Eleanor and added, "I guess she must be jealous."
After listening to Camilla, a cold glint flashed in Eleanor's eyes as she thought, 'I know Gloria dislikes me. It's not surprising that she plays little tricks behind my back, but to ruin Samuel's birthday livestream just to get revenge on me is unexpected. Eleanor looked up at the relaxed Camilla and frowned. "Why are you telling me this?"
With one hand resting on her chin and eyes fixed on Eleanor, Camilla smiled pleasantly, "Because, compared to her, I find you more likable."
Eleanor raised an eyebrow, feeling confused. In her impression, Camilla should dislike her and should side with Gloria. However, Camilla revealed the truth, which puzzled Eleanor.
It seemed that Camilla sensed Eleanor's distrust, smiled again, and explained, "To put it bluntly, I don't really like you since you took my role. But I come from the Byron family, and I was taught from a young age to be open and honest.
"So, even if I dislike you, I wouldn't stoop to scheming against you. That would lower my status. Instead, I prefer to defeat you fairly."
Camilla's sincerity actually made Eleanor feel a bit fond of her.
Eleanor thought, "That does seem to be the case. I did inadvertently take Camilla's role before. While she attacked me on Twitter openly, she didn't use her connections to push me out, showing she has integrity. However, people like her who act boldly and honestly are rare in the entertainment industry. Most are like Gloria, who would stab others in the back.
Eleanor smiled perfectly, looking at Camilla with appreciation. "Is that so? Then I look forward to you defeating me.
Camilla met her gaze defiantly, responding, "I will."
The wheels of fate began to turn as if, at this moment, it signified the budding camaraderie between two rising stars. Eleanor asked, "You said Gloria wants to collaborate with you to set me up. What's the specific plan?"
Camilla pulled out a bracelet encrusted with jewels and diamonds from her clothing pocket and placed it on the table, explaining. "She wants me to find a way to put this bracelet in your assistant's bag and falsely accuse her of stealing it
"At that point, you would surely protect her. Samuel will then embellish the story, making it seem like you and your assistant colluded to steal it."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor couldn't help but let out a scoff, thinking. I have to admit Gloria has quite a clever mind when it comes to framing someone.
She knows that if Camilla gets close to me and puts something in my bag, it will raise suspicions, Even if she managed to slip it in, Cloria wouldn't be able to explain herself to Andrew. After all, Andrew is at ny beck and call right now have no

reason to steal a necklace.
'But Grace is different. Andrew definitely wouldn't care about an assistant.

'And Grace is my assistant. We're in the same boat. As long as Gloria hints at something, the fans in the livestream will surely be misled. If Gloria hires some online trolls to slander me, I would undoubtedly be labeled as a thief.
'Gloria is pretty formidable. She considered everything thoroughly. I can't help but admire her meticulousness.
Seeing that Eleanor remained silent, Camilla asked, "Do you want me to throw this bracelet away as if nothing happened?"
Eleanor smiled and picked up the bracelet from the table, examining it in her palm while thinking, 'It's quite valuable.
A cold smile crept onto Eleanor's face, her eyes flashing with a hint of malice. "No need. Since she has declared war, if I don't fight back, wouldn't that make me a coward?"
She then lifted her head to look at Camilla, her gaze no longer sinister but filled with warmth. "Didn't you just say that you disdain scheming behind someone's back? Then, let me handle this bracelet."
Camilla didn't expect Eleanor to actually accept it, so she panicked for a moment. "You need to think this through! Tomorrow is the live stream, so you better not mess it up with so many fans watching. If you are really branded as a thief. you cannot survive in the entertainment industry."
Eleanor smiled gently, resembling a blooming poppy, exuding immense allure. For a moment, Camilla was stunned by her presence. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. She went to great lengths to set this trap. I can't discourage her enthusiasm, can I? Just relax and wait for the show."
Eleanor didn't care at all about Gloria's petty schemes. She thought, 'Since she wants to target me, I'll play along to the end and see who the winner is.'
Camilla wanted to persuade Eleanor further, but seeing her confidence, she decided against it, thinking, 'Forget it. I've done my part. What happens next is no longer my concern.
Victor had arranged for a temporary outdoor set to be built specifically for the live stream, demonstrating his commitment to the event. Early the next morning, he called several of the main actors together to tell them the important matters for the upcoming livestream. The gist of the message was to make the most of the heat generated by the livestream to promote the movie and create some buzz, but they must not leak any plot details or confidential information.
Everyone listened respectfully without much expression except for Gloria, who looked joyous and excited. Eleanor pretended not to notice.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a motorhome came to a steady stop at the entrance of the film set.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
