Robin’s face was pale, her expression hollow and dazed. “Celine, this is all because of that big star, Nikki Barnett.”

“She fell during the shoot, and afterward, she accused me. She claimed she saw me cut the wire with her own eyes. That’s why the police brought me in.

“Celine, you have to believe me! I didn’t do it. I would never do something like that. I don’t even know Ms. Barnett personally! Why would I harm her?”

Robin’s bewilderment was palpable. Nikki’s sudden accusation had turned her into a suspect for attempted murder Hailey, standing nearby, looked equally stunned. “Who cut the wire, then? If Ms. Smith didn’t do it, why would Nikki accuse her? As far as I know, Robin shook her head, confusion etched into her features. “Exactly! I’ve never done anything to her. Why would she say it was me?

Nikki shook her head lightly. “I’m fine.”

“Nikki, we just came from the police station. Ms. Smith would never have cut the wire. Are you you didn’t see it wrong?” Hailey said Celine looked at Nikki seriously. “Nikki, Robin is my best friend. I hope you’ll reconsider and change your statement so she can be released ”

Nikki leaned back lazily the pillow. “I’m feeling a bit thirsty,” she said abruptly.

Her assistant, Alice Hum, immediately perked up. “I’ll go get some water,” she offered.

But Nikki’s voice turned sharp as she snapped “I didn’t you to do it!”

Alice froze mid–step, unsure of what to do next.
