“No, you did!”
As the blame game intensified, the scene turned into mayhem. Theodore shielded Ariana instinctively

Once the crowd thinned, Ariana and Theodore retreated backstage. They found Tyler nursing a bruised
forehead, which stoked Ariana’s fury.
“Those goons had the audacity to throw punches and wield cameras as weapons! What if they’d hit
your eye? Could they live with the consequences?” she vented.
Tyler, surprisingly calm, tried to comfort her. “Easy there, it’s not as bad as it looks. I can handle it.”
“We need to treat this quickly,” Ariana insisted, concerned about the swelling on his forehead. After all,
an actor’s face is his fortune.
Theodore, feeling a hint of displeasure as he watched Ariana and Tyler interact, stepped forward. He
took a cotton swab and some antiseptic and began attending to Tyler’s wound.
Ariana was taken aback by Theodore’s sudden display of care, leading her to wonder when he’d grown
so considerate.

Jayson promptly took to the Internet, unveiling the script’s creative journey, the timeline for BRD
Group’s investment approval, and an early sneak peek into the film’s onset. All these events occurred
before “Deep Burial” even got off the ground. Despite his efforts, many remained unconvinced. They
staunchly believed that “Deep Burial,” having been released first, had garnered the upper hand and
won the hearts of the public.
With the recent unfortunate demise of Brielle, the public seemed more sympathetic and forgiving
towards “Deep Burial” and its cast. To make matters worse, invisible hands behind the scenes were

“How shameless of Edgar!” Sarah blurted out, after reading Edgar’s statement.
