It was like a scene from a thriller!”

As she glided past the photographers, Meghan was stone-faced. “She didn’t crack a single smile,” a fellow guest said. “Everyone was trying to catch her eye, but she looked straight ahead. It was eerie. People started whispering that she seemed offended by something.” The red carpet turned into a pressure cooker, with insiders buzzing about how she “refused to engage” with the glitterati around her.
**The Tension Explodes**
