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

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

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?"
