Elinor wasn't phased, nor did she buy what Balfour was saying.

How could she have been caught on tape doing something she'd never done? Was it some sort of illusion?

"Where's this video? Let me see it," she said coolly.

Balfour nodded subtly at his secretary, who turned on the TV in the room.

Then he started fiddling with his phone, casting the video onto the big screen for everyone to see.

The video showed a female influencer standing by the rails on the Bund, live streaming with her selfie stick.

Seeing herself on the screen, Elinor frowned awkwardly and asked, "Isn't that just me?"

Balfour turned to her and said, "So, Ms. Mendoza, you admit that the person sitting on the bench in the corner of the frame is you?"

Elinor shrugged. "It's me; where's the bad guy you mentioned?"
