Chapter 1981
In the movie, the stage lights shone on her face, while her entire body remained in the shadows as if it was trying to tell the
audience something.
The scene then rewound to thirty years ago, and it focused on the hands that poison the roommate.
The hands were large with popping green veins, and there was a yellow female headband on the wrist. It was identical to the
ones that the girls wore during their final dance on stage.
Then, the movie ended abruptly.
As for who the culprit was, the movie left it to the audience's speculation.
The cliffhanger immediately made the audience discuss who the culprit was. Some said that it was Ralph, who was played by
Leighton because the hands looked like they belonged to a man.
Others thought that it was Georgia, who was portrayed by Stella because Stella's hands were not small in real life.
Stella could not help but lower her head and glance at her hands.
'Are they really that big? They're okay, I guess,' she thought to herself.
However, that pair of hands actually belonged to the director himself. Stuart was way too good at creating mystery. What he
wanted was the feeling that no matter who the audience guessed, it would still make sense.
The awards he had won from the suspense films he directed were well deserved. He had a thorough understanding of his
audience.
The audience started leaving the screening hall one after another, but Stella remained in her seat. She was waiting for everyone
else to leave first so that nobody would accidentally bump into her.
Unexpectedly, before she could leave, spencer sat down next to her and said, "Hey, we're old classmates, after all. Why didn't
you even say hello? I can't believe you're so heartless."
Stella replied nonchalantly, Don't start anything."
"Tsk," Spencer clicked his tongue. Then, he said, "I gave you a plan, and you had someone else to do it with you. You're such an
ungrateful person. Are you avoiding me because you feel guilty?" "Yeah, yeah, you're right. Now, please go away. You're making
me feel extremely guilty," Stella could not look any more annoyed, as she spoke.
Spencer squinted and smiled. "Really? Then, I can't let you off so easily.
Come on, look at my face for a bit longer."
After he said that, Spencer purposely leaned closer to Stella.
Stella was speechless. "How childish can you be?”
Spencer scoffed, "Is this your first day of knowing me?" "What do you want?" "I gave you a plan when Keegan was still missing,
after all. You should at least treat me to a meal, don't you think?" "I don't have any money on me." "What about your phone?” "I
have no money in my phone either. My boyfriend is very strict with me.”
Spencer's expression changed, feeling somewhat upset after Stella mentioned Keegan.
Then, he said through gritted teeth, "He doesn't even give you pocket money. Why do you still love him so much?" "Because he
has good looks."
Spencer felt annoyed, as he stared intensely at Stella. It made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Stella Hall, let me ask you something. When we were dating, did you like me or did you see me as someone else?"
Stella was confused by his question.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Spencer continued glaring at her. "Quit pretending. You were just treating me as Keegan Kane's substitute, weren't you?"
