Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 510

In the end, Levi Fernandez gave her some time to adjust her condition before continuing the shooting, and the actress’s state was obviously much smoother.

The scene was finally finished successfully.

Lucy was worried that the actress might be mentally burdened and walked over to her with a smile. “Sister Astrid, you acted quite well earlier. Don’t be stressed.”

Astrid looked at her with a complicated gaze. Her face did not show the gratitude that should have been there.

Instead, she said indifferently, “I’m not stressed.”

Then, she coldly turned and left.

Lucy was somewhat embarrassed and bewildered by the cold treatment.

However, she did not think much about it. Astrid was humiliated in front of her juniors, so she might just be feeling upset about it.

After a short break in the middle of the scene, they quickly moved on to the next scene.

It was an action scene, also featuring Astrid and her.

Lucy played the female lead who discovered that her partner, played by Astrid, was an enemy spy, which caused a fight to break out.

In the fight, she would stab Astrid with a sword, and Astrid would flee after being wounded.

Of course, the stunts were all set up beforehand and no one would get hurt. They would just be acting.

“Take one, action!”

With Levi’s order, the crew quieted down. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two outstanding actresses.

Lucy did not have any problems with her makeup today, but the costume on her body was a little big so she was unable to perform her movements.

Fortunately, she practiced her moves very well before, so there should be no problem.

As long as Astrid could actively cooperate with her, she believed that they would be able to pass the first take itself.

Unfortunately, it was only Lucy who held such thoughts.

Astrid, who was acting opposite her, did not look at her at all. Lucy did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was something off with Astrid’s state.

Her eyes suddenly became sinister, like a snake spitting out venom. At first, it was just the continuation of the fight scene, but a new situation soon emerged.

Both of them were holding prop swords, but even swords without a blade were not light in their hands.

Some of the stabbing scenes in costume dramas were filmed through misdirection. Lucy prepared to follow the steps and stab Astrid under her large sleeve, just like how she learned before.

At that point, Astrid would quickly cover her armpit and break the blood pack placed there beforehand, thus creating an illusion that she had been stabbed.

However, Astrid suddenly smirked.

Then, disregarding all their rehearsed moves earlier, she turned to the side and jumped on Lucy’s sword.

Lucy hurriedly withdrew her sword, but she could feel that it had already pierced the other party.

With a soft shred, the sword cut through flesh and scarlet blood welled up.

A scream sounded, and cries started to emerge from around.

“Astrid, are you alright?”

“She’s injured.”

However, before she could speak, Astrid smiled self-deprecatingly.

“I was too dense. Earlier, you said a couple nice things for me so I thought you were thinking of me and our old friendship. It seems I was too naive.

“However, Lucy, whether you want to play the generous and considerate persona in front of others or you really have a problem with me personally, you shouldn’t have hurt me by stabbing me with a sword. It doesn’t matter if you hurt me, but what if you delay the filming?”

Astrid pushed all of the blame onto Lucy. In addition, she even cleverly deflected the anger of everyone present, as if she had nothing to do with this matter.

Levi became even angrier after hearing Astrid’s words. He had gone to great lengths to get sponsors to serve these pampered actresses, but now he had to deal with these trivial matters on the set too.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Lucy froze completely.

She never thought that the senior who had helped her would one day use such a despicable technique to frame her.

However, on second thought of everything that happened since she entered the group, she seemed to understand something.

She did not even bother shooting a disdainful look at Astrid and turned to Levi instead.

She just wanted to see what the director would say.

The staff at the back could not help but whisper. Everyone knew that the relationship between actresses was not good, and cases of them pulling down and oppressing each other happened in the news occasionally. However, there were only a few who would act that way while in the public eye.

Astrid’s assistant had already helped her to a chair. The wound was much better after treatment and only a little blood had oozed out, so there did not seem to be a problem.

Lucy responded to the director’s anger with silence.

It was not that she did not dare to tell the truth, but Astrid had the upper hand now, so she was watching for the director’s reaction.

“All of you shut up. What are you all blabbering about? Do you think this is a vegetable market?”
