"The Brooks family must have offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. Otherwise, how could a super group go bankrupt in just two hours?" another added.

Speculation ran rampant as people tried to make sense of the unthinkable collapse.

"Who could the Brooks family have offended?" asked a bewildered netizen, echoing the questions on everyone's minds.

Lilah remained unaware of the firestorm raging online, where a frenzy of theories and rumors erupted. After her shower, she settled onto the bed, browsing the news on her phone. Only then did the full extent of the situation unfold before her eyes.

Another breaking story caught her eye. The deputy director of the police station had been suspended, pending investigation. However, the details remained shrouded in mystery.

A small, knowing smile played across Lilah's lips as she was well aware of what happened.

A month later, Lilah was busy dealing with some documents when her phone rang. Effie's excited voice filled the line. "“Lilah, my shooting's wrapped up, and the new one's already begun!"

“That's fantastic, Effie! Congratulations!" Lilah exclaimed, genuinely pleased to hear of Effie's rising success in the entertainment industry.

“Thank you, Lilah. If you're free tomorrow, could you drop by?" Effie asked, her voice brimming with anticipation.

Lilah laughed. "Sure, I'll come by tomorrow."

"Deal!" Effie exclaimed, her voice bursting with enthusiasm. She loved sharing good news with Lilah, who was always so kind to her.

"Okay, great," Lilah replied, ending the call and getting back to her work.

The next morning, just as Lilah was heading out, her phone rang. It was Effie. "Hey Lilah, are you free this morning?"

“Yeah, I was just about to call you," Lilah replied, grabbing her keys and heading to her car.

"Perfect! Just get here quick. Buzz me when you're outside and I'll come down. Sending you the address now."

"Gotcha."

Lilah started her car and, within seconds, the address popped up on her phone.

She put her phone down and focused on the drive.

About an hour later, Lilah pulled up at the address Effie had given her. She got out of the car and called Effie. "Hey, I'm here. Where are you?"

Effie replied with a burst of excitement "Already? Great! Just wait there; this place is huge. I'll find you."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lilah took a look around. It was a pretty big spot.

She took a few steps forward, and it didn't take long for her to spot Effie, who was dressed in a period costume and waving like crazy, shouting, “Over here, Lilah!"

Lilah walked over. “Have you got a shoot today?"
