Melody looked around in a daze. The expressions of the crew members varied. Swere of mockery, others were unable to bear witness to such a scheming. However, they had all concluded that she was the culprit.

What else could she say at that point? Even Shaun believed that she needed to provide an explanation. Melody hid her emotions; she did not want to use pity to evoke sympathy from those people. She had not done anything wrong, and she needed to stand tall.

"So, what's the plan? Are you going to call the police and arrest me?" Shaun hesitated. To be honest, he did not want to offend Melody too much, considering she was Lucas' wife. Crossing the Riveras was not something he could afford. He was in a real dilemma. SeaR*ch the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

On one hand, it might set a precedent for similar incidents to occur within the crew if he did not address the issue, and that would jeopardize the entire film. On the other hand, disciplining Melody would be a challenge, considering her influential connections.

In the midst of this dilemma, Shaun tried to find a balanced approach.

"Melody, we called you back hoping to resolve this matter internally. It's just a minor incident, and there's no need to bring in the police. Doing that won't benefit our film. Apologize to Tracy, cover her medical expenses, and we'll put this behind us." Ultimately, whether Melody was innocent or not did not seem important to the crew. They already concluded that she was the culprit based on the surveillance footage.

What they were discussing was merely to minimize the impact of this incident. Nobody cared whether Melody was guilty or not; they just wanted to handle it discreetly.

"I disagree. You can call the police if you don't believe me, and I'll cooperate with any investigation. But I will not apologize for something I didn't do." Shaun did not quite understand why Melody was being so stubborn about this matter.

The surveillance camera clearly captured her sneakily entering Tracy's dressing room. What else did she have to defend herself? "Melody, we hope you can calm down and consider this from the production's perspective. We want to minimize the impact of this incident since there's a good chance all of us will be working together again in the future." There was a subtle hint of a threat in Shaun's words, causing Melody to bite her lip in response.

"I'd rather not work together again in the future if you're trying to forceto admit to something I didn't do!" Melody's straightforward declaration caused a stir among the crew members. They had never seen a suspect maintain such assertiveness.

"Mister Shaun, this isn't just an issue of attitude anymore; it's a matter of character. How can she feel no remorse at all at hurting her colleague? I don't think we should keep such a person as the lead in our movie." After someone took the lead, others followed suit and agreed one after another.

"Yeah. The female lead should be someone with good character, which is the complete opposite of her. Has she no shame?" In no time, everyone seemed to have reservations about Melody continuing as the female lead.

As a newcomer, Melody stood out from a group of well-known actresses, making in many people feel like she was undeserving of the female lead role. Thus, having caught onto Melody's weakness, they would not easily let it go. 'Heh. The entertainment industry sure loves a good witch hunt,' thought Melody defeatedly.

"I'm willing to leave the cast ilf the investigation results point toas the culprit. But I'll never never admittan being a culprit based solely on surveillance footage that doesn't even show the person's face clearly!" Shaun extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stood up. "What do you all think? Do you really believe that this surveillance footage can be considered conclusive evidence that Melody is the culprit?" he asked.

He was reminding everyone that the surveillance footage only showed a person wearing the exact sclothes as Melody, and it was more crucial to find out what the person looked like. X
