Chapter 16 Conspiracy
The next day.
When she woke up, Ethan had already gone to his company. It was Anna who had come to pick her up and take her to the set.
Just as Kristen changed her clothes in the dressing room, Taylor rushed over angrily.
“Kristen, you locked the door of the changing room yesterday, didn’t you?”
Taylor did not bring her phone with her when she was changing her clothes yesterday. It was already half an hour later when she was discovered, so she missed the signing of the contract.
She had fought for this endorsement for a long time, but now it was taken by her rival!
“Miss Davis, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!” Kristen pretended to be confused.
Taylor’s face was dark with rage. “Don’t play dumb! Who else could it be?”
The shooting site had just been built and surveillance was not installed yet, but it must have been done by Kristen.
Kristen stood up with a smile on her face.
She leaned in and whispered into Taylor’s ear, “So what if it was me? I’m just taking an eye for an eye. What can you do to me?”
“Well, Kristen, you’re so bold. I won’t let you off. Just you wait!”
Kristen showed no fear.
After filming in the morning, Taylor ordered a lot of dishes from a five-star hotel and invited the entire production crew to lunch. Many of them crowded around her to flatter her.
Looking at the boxed lunch that was sent over, Anna said in a low voice, “Kristen, Taylor was so angry in the morning, I’m afraid there’s something wrong with the food she gave us. Why don’t I go out and buy another one?”
Kristen picked up her chopsticks and smiled, “Taylor isn’t stupid. She just wants to rope in the crew. If there’s something wrong with our lunch, she’ll be suspected after I eat it.”
Anna felt that her words were reasonable, so she nodded.
After lunch, something went wrong with the props. The director asked everyone to take a break.
Kristen leaned against the sofa, feeling bored. Iszard, who was next to her, was playing games with his assistant.
His screen darkened every few seconds, and within a minute, he had roughly revived his game character five times.
“Shit, why are these people so cunning? Come and help me… I’m dead again.”
Kristen’s mouth twitched and she couldn’t help but teased Iszard, “Your gaming skill sucks!”
Iszard was very surprised.
“Are you good at it? Show me.”
Iszard handed his phone over, and Kristen took it.
Isn’t it just the game named “The Glory”? What’s so difficult about that?
The corners of Kristen’s mouth twitched while she found that Iszard’s character had died eight times in six minutes after the game began. After some operation, she turned the tables and killed five opposing characters in a row.
Iszard and his assistant were stunned.
“Holy shit, Kristen, you’re so awesome!”
“Play with me!”
When Taylor walked into the lounge, she saw Iszard was talking to Kristen.
There was a flash of gloom in her eyes.
That was because Iszard didn’t like to talk to others. Except for something about shooting, he never talked with others. How could he have such a good relationship with Kristen?
What a temptress Kristen was!
Taylor slightly narrowed her eyes and hid in the corner, silently recording the scene in front of her.
Seeing Mr. Scott coming over, she put away her mobile phone.
After Taylor entered the room, she said sarcastically, “Mr. Scott, look at Kristen. She doesn’t recite the lines when resting. She only plays with her mobile phone.”
Hearing this, Kristen sneered, “I have memorized all the lines of the script.”
She had been excellent since she was a child. She could remember many things after watching them twice. The lines of a TV show were nothing to her.
“Impossible.”
Kristen said, “Have you ever seen me forget my lines during acting? But, Miss Davis, you’ve been sleeping for the past two hours. Why don’t you spend more time thinking about how to improve your acting skills? Don’t make countless mistakes in the afternoon and waste everyone’s time.”
That was indeed the case.
Although Taylor was beautiful, she was not good at acting.
If not for the fact that she had the Davis family supporting her, how could she have her fame?
Taylor’s expression froze. Mr. Scott glanced at her unhappily but didn’t criticize her in the end.
“Okay, get ready, you can start work now.”
……
Because of Kristen’s surprising game prowess, Iszard and she quickly became acquainted. During the afternoon breaks, he pestered her to play games.
“You’re awesome, Kristen!”
“Oh yeah, let’s add each other on WhatsApp. We can play together when we have time.”
Kristen only felt that Iszard was particularly noisy. The cool Iszard was more interesting to her. Now, he was a little annoying.
The filming lasted until three o’clock in the afternoon when the sun was scorching hot.
Today, they were shooting on location, and their costume was thick. Kristen felt hot. Anna was beside her, holding a small fan to cool her down.
“I want to drink bubble tea!”
Anna immediately said, “Kristen, which store’s bubble tea do you want? I’ll buy it right away.”
“Forget it, it’s too far. Let’s drink it after we finish work.”
Kristen stretched herself and took the script to look at the next scene.
At this moment, the assistant director walked over and said solemnly, “Everyone, cheer up. Mr. Wharton will visit us. He’ll be here soon. Everyone, perform well.”
Mr. Wharton? Ethan was the only one in Nangania who could receive so much attention.
“Why will Ethan come here?”
Anna whispered in her ear, “Kristen, Mr. Wharton’s company is the biggest investor in this TV show. I guess he is here for you!”
Kristen nodded.
She didn’t know that Ethan was the biggest investor.
Wait, was he here for her?
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and sent him a WhatsApp message.
“Keep our distance and pretend we don’t know each other when you were here.”
Anna saw her message and asked in confusion, “Kristen, why are you pretending that you don’t know Mr. Wharton? If everyone knows that you and Mr. Wharton know each other, won’t everyone in the crew have to show you some respect in the future? How dare Taylor bully you?”
“You’re still young. You don’t understand.”
“……”
Kristen looked thoughtfully.
If someone deliberately posted the news that she and Ethan knew each other on the Internet, Kristen would be treated as a temptress by the netizens again.
The most important thing was that if the news of this matter reached the ears of the Oliver family… If her grandfather investigated it, her relationship with Ethan would be exposed.
That was the real problem, so she had to keep her distance from Ethan.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The news of Ethan’s arrival excited the crew very much.
Particularly Taylor. She washed away the dirty makeup she needed for filming without telling the director and put on exquisite makeup.
After a while, the man with a few staff members to the set.
He was wearing a black shirt and walked over with a tall and straight posture. His whole body exuded a powerful aura, which made people afraid and fascinated.
The director and producer came forward to welcome him. Ethan chatted indifferently with them and seemed to be in a bad mood. His gaze landed on Kristen out of the corner of his eye.
Jacob stepped forward and said, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Wharton bought some food and drinks. Arrange someone to bring them to everyone and let them rest for a while.”
“All right, thank you, Mr. Wharton.”
Kristen’s resting place was diagonally behind Taylor and the man’s deep gaze landed on her.
