Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 582

Emily stood firm, her voice steady and exasperated. "Who saw her spiking the drinks? I've already asked around. It was Darius who messed up. He mixed up the bottles, so everyone ended up drinking the spiked drinks."

"No, that's not it!" Linda shook her head vigorously. "Emily, I didn't drink any alcohol last night. I was only having soda. Even if Darius mixed up the bottles, I should've been clear-headed!"

"But I can't remember anything from last night. Clearly, I was affected too!"

"It was Astrid, it had to be Astrid. Call the police and have them check the surveillance footage at the club. She had dozens of bodyguards with guns, ready to kill us!"

"Enough!" Emily's patience was wearing thin. "Dozens of armed bodyguards? Linda, do you think you're in a movie?"

Unbeknownst to them, Chad had already tampered with the footage, leaving Emily and the others with nothing unusual to find.

Seeing the disbelief on Emily’s face, Linda was on the verge of tears. "It's true, Emily! There really were dozens of bodyguards. They filled the entire hallway, calling her 'Miss Astrid!'"

Emily sighed deeply, looking at Linda's frantic demeanor. "I checked the footage. There was nothing out of the ordinary. No bodyguards, but I did see you passed out in the hallway, stark naked."

Linda's eyes widened in shock. "What? How is that possible?"

"It's not possible, Emily! You have to believe me, there really were bodyguards!"

"It was Astrid who set me up!"

Emily shook her head. "Get some rest. This has spread all over the film set. You might not be able to stay here much longer. I'm going to talk to Director York. It's early in production, we can still replace you." She turned to leave, but Linda leapt from the bed, clinging desperately to Emily's leg.
