Chapter 372
Beatrice might not be the most gifted actress, but she knew drama off-screen. Hamish was already
weary of her antics. So when she complained, he tersely responded, “Mamie’s a star with top-tier
acting, and she makes mistakes too. Learn from her, instead of playing the victim”
Beatrice was fuming at his words, her expression stormy. Yet Hamish noticed Mamie’s deliberate
provocations. He sharply told Mamie, “Enough games, Mamie Focus on the job”
Mamie smirked, “Understood, Hamish.”
Beatrice felt a brief relief, thinking Mamie would back off. But she had underestimated Mamie’s
stubborn streak. A simple slap scene went on for twenty retakes, with Mamie’s slap growing harsher
each time. Beatrice’s face began to swell, and Mamie showed no signs of holding back.
On a break, a distraught Beatrice confronted Mamie, “What did I ever do to you, Mamie, to deserve
this?”
Mamie leaned in with a sly smile. “What makes you think you’re innocent in my eyes?”
“You may be a star, but that doesn’t give you the right to bully others! I could go to the media,” Beatrice
retorted.
Mamie laughed, “And tell them what? That I’m a bully? That’s already my brand. you try to expose me,
you’ll look like you’re just trying to gain fame through me. Be my guest”
Beatrice’s heart sank. Mamie was right. There were celebrities who seemed immune to scandals, with
loyal fans defending their every move. Mamie was one such untouchable icon.
Fighting back tears, Beatrice pleaded, “What do you want for this to stop?”
Mamie pondered for a moment. “How about you leave the show? If not, trust me, I can find countless
ways to make your life hell”
The weight of the decision pressed on Beatrice. Getting a role in Hamish’s project had been a dream
come true. As a newcomer, this was her golden ticket, and her peers envied her for it. Walking away
would make her the subject of ridicule. But how much more could she endure from Mamie?
Plus, after this show, her value would skyrocket compared to ordinary film school students.
No way she’s giving up.
Beatrice gritted her teeth, “I won’t quit. I don’t believe you can do whatever you want on set”
“I certainly can. Not just on set, but throughout the whole entertainment industry” Mamie arrogantly
answered, “Can’t stand it? Well, suck it up.”
At this point, the director called for the next take
Still no pass.
Even the director started to persuade her, but Mamie didn’t let go.
Everyone on set started to sympathize with Beatrice, but no one dared to intervene.
The crew steered clear, unwilling to get involved in the feud. While Beatrice was at a loss about how Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
she angered Mamie, others on set were less sympathetic. They had grown tired of her constant
bragging about being Preston Pritchard’s daughter, using her father’s name to land roles and then
acting as though she’d eamed her place amongst the stars.
Watching Mamie bring her down a peg or two, many felt a pang of schadenfreude.
Agnes wasn’t due on set that day, but someone else was observing the drama unfold Mamie was
known for her no-holds-barred approach.
Her ruthlessness was evident during the filming of ‘Cinderella’, and now it was clear that her vendetta
against Beatrice ran deep.
The observer recalled how Beatrice had plotted against him, attempting to sabotage him with drugs.
The plan backfired, and Mamie became the unintended victim. That incident was the likely genesis of
Mamie’s animosity. It wasn’t just an on-set rivalry, it was personal
