Chapter 148 What’s Wrong With Her?

Even though it was probably the wrong time for this thought, Claudia looked exactly like a murderer coming back to the crime scene to check out the aftermath.
She and Sterling gave off such a perfect villain vibe!
Tilda had come out later and somehow ended up next to Alice.
Since both of them had played key roles in tonight’s drama, they’d actually grown pretty familiar with each other over the last few hours.
Tilda covered her ears to block out the screeching.
“What’s wrong with her?”
Still glued to her phone, Alice said, “Nothing really. She just snapped after all that shock.”
Tilda nodded thoughtfully.
It makes sense. Lydia spent 20 years in her career, and now it’s gone. Anyone would lose it after that.
After tonight, there was no way Lydia could stay in the dance industry.
But her name would never be forgotten. She’d go down in history as a negative example and cautionary tale.
“But…” Tilda craned her neck, “Why are you taking pictures of Ms. Claudia and Mr. Romero?”
Wasn’t she worried about getting caught?
Alice just grinned.
“You don’t get it. If I were taking pics of Sterling by himself, maybe I’d get in trouble. But these are a couple of pics–maybe I can use them to score some favors with him later.”
She dared to say even the best professional photographers couldn’t do better than her.
After all, she was determined to become a celebrity.
She figured Sterling would love those photos of him and Claudia looking so perfect together.
Even if he denied it, Alice did not doubt how love could turn a man into a total pushover, especially after seeing how he had taken care of Claudia–cleaning, cooking, making the bed,

Even if they both denied being a couple, her years of experience told her these two were bound to end up together.
Tilda suddenly looked inspired.
If she worked harder at dancing and managed to get Ms. Claudia to come and watch more performances at the theater, maybe the Romero Corp would keep pouring in more investment.
They exchanged a knowing look, feeling fired up for what might come next.
The police car pulled away, and the black Maybach slipped into the night right behind it.
The fallout from the scandal would take time to play out. By the time Lydia and the Lancasters woke up tomorrow, they’d realize their nightmare was just the beginning.
But for now, with all her plans set in motion, Alice could enjoy her victory in peace.
The driver dropped the two off by the river, then left to buy food and drinks for them.
He never really understood why these two liked this kind of down–to–earth fun, but if that’s what they wanted for their night, he wouldn’t argue.
At this hour, there were hardly any people out. Claudia and Sterling found a patch of grass by the water and sat down together.
Sterling had brought his suit jacket before getting out of the car. He laid it down on the for Claudia, so her dress wouldn’t get dirty.

That suit probably cost more than 10,000 dollars, and it would be ruined by tomorrow.
Claudia looked at the jacket, then at his crisp dress shirt and slacks, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“I thought a neat freak like Mr. Romero would never go along with my idea.”
