Bella's eyes narrowed, sharp as glass. She stepped forward, her chin raised. "I can prove it," she said, her tone calm but filled with icy determination. "Take me to the CCTV control room."
Her words silenced the crowd, her gaze locked on Alexa and Stella with a dangerous fire. Her calmness only made them shift uneasily, like prey caught in a snare.
Alexa's lips trembled before she quickly masked it with anger. "You think you can bluff your way out of this?"
"I don't bluff," Bella said flatly. Her eyes glinted, cold and merciless as she stared them down.
Leo's gaze focused on her, the faintest flicker of curiosity breaking through his icy calm. What are you planning, Bella? he thought.
