Chapter 361
When the mighty clashed, the small fry got crushed.
Not wanting to get caught in their crossfire, the director gave a quick nod and a polite smile before hastily making his exit.
Stepping away from the noisy crowd, Olivia snapped at Aria, “What did you want to talk about?”
Aria suddenly halted in her tracks and released her grip on the crate.
The crate slammed down hard onto Olivia’s foot.
“Ah!” Olivia let out a piercing shriek, clutching her foot as she dropped to a crouch. When she looked up at Arla, her eyes burned with venomous hatred.
She shrieked, “Aria! I’ll kill you!!”
Hearing the commotion, the director came running and called out anxiously, “What happened? Is everyone okay?”
Seeing the intricate simulated limbs scattered on the ground, director
out a piercing shriek. “Oh no! The props!”
He immediately crouched down to inspect, his hands trembling slightly.
These were worth a fortune, an absolute fortune.
Even if these two women were going to fight, they shouldn’t joke around with these things.
The director was totally overwhelmed.
Olivia anxiously searched the crowd for Russell, her face twisted in pain from her injured foot. “Russell…”
She seethed with rage, inwardly vowing to kill Aria.
“Oh dear, how did I let it slip?” Aria crouched down, her tone perfectly composed. “My deepest apologies, Ms. Remar. I seem to have accidentally
dropped it right on your foot.”
She was apologizing, yet her expression remained eerily calm, showing not a hint of guilt.
Olivia ground her teeth against the pain, her voice seething with rage. “Aria! You should know who I am, and you’ve heard of the Wolfshade Syndicate.”
Olivia snarled through gritted teeth, her voice dripping with venom. “Killing you and everyone you love would be child’s play for me.”
Aria tilted her head slightly toward Olivia, the faintest curve playing at her lips. “Ms. Remar, I just had a sudden thought… and, well, my grip slipped.”
Russell approached slowly, taking in the scattered props on the ground. He pressed his lips into a thin line as his gaze, cold and edged with menace, swept over Aria.
Seeing Russell, tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes as she shouted, “Russell! Aria did this on purpose. She meant to drop it on me!”
Russell’s expression darkened as he strode forward
“It just occurred to me. When I first met Sara, she had quite a few old scars on her body.”
Aria’s voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, yet every word cut through the silence, reaching Olivia with razor–sharp clarity.
Olivia’s face instantly paled. She whirled around to face Aria, stammering, “W… what did you say?“.
“Ms. Remar, do you happen to know how those scars got there?”

At that moment, Russell had approached. He caught the tail end of the conversation, but missed what came before.
Olivia struggled to maintain her composure, but Russell, who knew her all too well, immediately noticed something was off
Russell glanced between the two and asked coolly, “What are you two talking about?”
Aria’s lips curved into a sly smile. “We were just talking about…”
“We were talking about the damaged robotic limbs!” Olivia cut in sharply, her voice laced with warning and her gaze guarded.
Aria smiled, lifted her gaze, and said, “Indeed, Ms. Remar is right. I… accidentally damaged the crew’s props and ended up injuring Ms. Remar’s foots
She added calmly, “I’ll cover all her medical expenses.”
Olivia took a deep breath, her voice icy. “Keep your damn medical money. Try this again, and I’ll snap your arm off.”
She turned to Russell, reaching out with a plaintive yoice. “Russell, it hurts so much. Take me to the hospital, please. My foot feels like it’s completely ruined.”
She wanted nothing more than to kill Aria on the spot, yet she dared not make a move against her.
Russell crouched down, but instead of immediately comforting Olivia, he turned his head, his gaze locked intently on Aria.
“Are you two… really just talking about this?” Russell asked, his tone laced with suspicion.
