A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 302

When Ana, Thomas, and Alex reentered the tent, the production crew had already packed up and left.

The atmosphere in the tent was subdued after Ana ran out crying. The production crew filmed for a few more minutes before finally turning off the livestream.

Ana exhaled in quiet relief. She turned toward Demi, who was sitting cross-legged on a waterproof mat, studying Indorian with Maria.

Taking a deep breath, Ana approached them. "Demi, can we talk outside?"

"You can just speak here," Demi replied without looking up, her tone icy.

Ana froze.

Maria glanced at her briefly before returning to the Indorian lesson, deliberately ignoring the tension.

"I'm sorry," Ana blurted suddenly, bowing her head.

Demi finally lifted her gaze. "What exactly are you sorry for?"

"I shouldn't have thrown your necklace into the trash. I was upset and didn't realize it was yours at the time. But I went back and picked it up again later," Ana said as she straightened up, her eyes red and puffy.

The other cast members exchanged glances. So, Ana really had thrown the necklace away. They knew Demi wouldn't lie about something like that.

Demi scoffed and replied, "Ana, you're lying again. What's the point? After one lie gets exposed, you decide to cover it with another?"

"I'm not!" Ana protested, her eyes welling up with fresh tears.
