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 .
