Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 514

Thinking this way, Nell told Gideon about this matter.

When Gideon got the news, he also thought that Nell’s idea was feasible, so he sent people to Country F overnight to contact the local Chinese Association.

On the other side, Lucy had returned from the hospital.

As soon as she returned to the crew, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The hostile and scrutinizing gazes were heavier than before.

At any rate, she had been in the circle for many years. The reason why she had refused to let Carina call the doctor to the crew was that she was afraid of being too high-profile and attracting gossip.

At this time, how would she still be ignorant of what had happened?

Coincidentally, Susan Reed’s call came in at this time. Lucy knew that it would not be good to hide the truth from Susan, so she told her the current situation.

She also talked about what had happened yesterday and today.

Susan was also surprised after listening to the entire story.

“Astrid Lindt? She has no relation to you. Why is she targeting you for no reason?”

Lucy sighed and lay down on the bed.

“If I knew the reason, I wouldn’t be so passive.”

Susan hesitated at her words. However, even after thinking about it, she could not recall when Lucy might have gotten in Astrid’s way.

After all, Lucy was still young in her early twenties. She had only been popular for a year or two and belonged to the flowing little flower type which was steadily rising.

As for Astrid, she had been in the business for ten years and was already thirty. Whether it was in terms of appearance, temperament, route, style, and so on, they were in different directions.

In that case, why did she deliberately target and even frame Lucy?

What Susan did not say was that in the circle, Astrid’s evaluation was quite good.

Unlike the arrogant and bad-tempered Jada Swanson whose only explosive thing about her was her temper, Astrid was a true actress and had a strong character. The reason she did not rise to popularity over the years was because she was unwilling to submit to the hidden rules.

Otherwise, with her capabilities, she should have been extremely popular.

Thinking of this, Susan asked Lucy for more details.

Lucy was also confused about this matter. No matter how hard she tried, she could not figure out when exactly she had offended the other party.

She could only shake her head and sigh helplessly. “Sister Susan, don’t ask me. I really don’t know. Why don’t I take time off my schedule to ask her in person?”

The corners of Susan’s mouth curled and she rolled her eyes.

“Come one, she’s already up in your face targeting you. Aren’t you afraid of being snubbed if you ask?”

Lucy laughed. Susan saw that she could not get anything more out of Lucy, so she stopped asking and hung up the phone.

The next day, the scene management side sent someone early in the morning to remind Lucy that she had to leave early because there would be a shooting scene in the mountains today.

Lucy climbed out of bed bleary-eyed. After a night’s rest, her fever had subsided and her body felt much better, so there was no problem.

Carina also yawned as she came over. The two packed their belongings and went out with dark circles under their eyes, climbing the nanny van prepared by the crew.

Since they were chasing daylight and time was tight, it would be too late to get her makeup done after reaching the venue.

Therefore, the makeup artists had already been waiting in the van. That way, they could do her makeup while rushing there.

Fortunately, Lucy had already washed her face before she came out. Except for the last stretch, the road from where they were to the shooting location was also on relatively flat concrete roads, so it was not bumpy and makeup could be applied without difficulty.

It was only half-past six when they reached their destination.

Dawn was about to break and the sky was still a hazy line of white. The entire world was still trapped in a deep sleep.

The wind was strong on the mountain and the temperature was even colder, so Carina took a jacket from her bag and draped it on Lucy.

The props team came in another car earlier than they did. By this time, all the lighting machines and other props were already prepared.

Levi had also arrived and was directing the team who would be lighting the scene.

Turning around and seeing Lucy arrive, he said, “Go and familiarize yourself with the dialogue and lines first. The weather is bad today and we’re expecting rain later, so we’ll finish filming early and call it a day. It’s not safe to stay on the mountain.”

Lucy nodded and agreed, and walked to the side to recite her lines.

The truth was that she already memorized her lines but since everyone was busy, she could not just stand on the sidelines and watch.

The actor who would be playing against her today was a rookie. He would be playing the role of a prince’s attendant.

In this scene, the female lead Lucy played would walk across the suspension bridge to meet the man on the other end.

The man would be kidnapped by the enemy and she had to trade her own life to keep him safe.

However, the man was not the true male lead but an enemy imposter who had lured her into a trap.

Although it was not a climactic scene, it was quite dramatic because the female lead already guessed that he was not the real male lead.

However, the only way to catch a tiger’s cubs was to go into their den. She wanted to go and find out what was going on.

Although the plot sounded complicated, it was relatively simple to act out.
