Chapter 551 Glued Lock "Got it. You can leave now." "Alright." Once the makeup artist left, Zelena was left alone in the dressing room, scrolling through Twitter.

Suddenly, the lights began flickering erratically, and with a loud bang, the door slammed shut, plunging the room into darkness. "Ah!" Startled, Zelena leaped from her seat and dashed to the door, only to find it firmly jammed. No matter how hard she pulled, it wouldn't open. She grabbed her phone and dialed her assistant.

With her assistant out for a meal, Zelena was left in darkness, and the seconds dragged on painfully as she waited for the call to connect. "Hello, Ms. Blake?" Finally, the call connected.

Zelena quickly said, "You need to cback immediately. The lights have gone out, and I can't get the door open!" Her assistant, who had barely touched her meal, set down her utensils and replied, "I'm on my way right now. Just hang tight, Ms. Blake." The call stayed connected as the assistant hurried back to the dressing room and struggled with the door. "Ms. Blake? Ms. Blake?" Hearing her assistant's voice from the other side brought Zelena srelief. "I'm here. Can you check what's wrong with the door? Is there a power outage on set?" The assistant answered, "There's no power outage. Just hold on; I'll get someone to help open the door." Soon, the assistant arrived with a crew member carrying a flashlight.

They discovered that the door's lock had been glued shut, preventing the key from fitting. The only option was to dismantle the door.

The power outage in the dressing room was due to someone cutting the wires.

Zelena's confinement caused a twenty-minute delay in the night shoot.

Being locked in a pitch-black room had left Zelena shaken. When she finally emerged, her face was ashen.

The assistant draped a coat over Zelena and angrily said, "The wires were cut and the lock was glued shut? This was clearly deliberate!" The director, frowning, turned to the crew member. "What happened here?" The crew member, looking puzzled, replied, "This is unprecedented. Could a disgruntled fan have sneaked in?" The director snapped, "Conduct a thorough investigation!" The crew member nodded. "Understood." However, resolving such incidents proved challenging.

With so many people-formal staff, informal workers, extras-coming and going, identifying the culprit was nearly impossible.

In a law-abiding society, most people wouldn't dare commit such acts.

Those who would are likely adept at covering their tracks, making them difficult to trace.

Among the crowd, Jenny, observing Zelena's distress, couldn't hide her satisfaction. She smirked before heading into Evelina's dressing room.

As Jenny turned, Zelena spotted her.

wn Zelena's expression darkened, and she muttered through gritted teeth, "Evelina?" How dare that b*tch cause such trouble on set! Is she crazy? What kind of person would sabotage a shoot like this? The assistant asked, "Ms. Blake, what did you say?" Zelena adjusted her coat. "Nothing. Let's just go into the dressing room." "Alright, I'll get you a glass of water." The incident of Zelena being locked in the dressing room for twenty minutes quickly spread and trended online that evening, with hashtags such as #Suspected HaterIntrus ase and #Zelena Trapped In DressingRoom.

After a six-month hiatus, Zelena was in desperate need of publicity.

This trending topic sparked widespread discussion among netizens.

"A hater? That's more like a terrorist! This is outrageous!" "Cutting wires and gluing locks? That's terrifying."

"To think something like this could happen on a set. Being a celebrity! isn't something just anyone can handle. I'd be scared out of my mind." "Lucky Zelena doesn't have claustrophobia, or the crew would be in big trouble."

"There's no sympathy here. If I were making that much money, in @day, I'd endure being locked up, haha." Elsewhere in Jasonville, Aster remarked, "Ms. White, it's frightening that Zelena was locked in a dressing

room and had the lock glued shut.

These haters are going to extrет lengths en
