Chapter 397


    Kate became alert at this statement. Her eyes darted around the set as she questioned the director, “Mr.


    Zimmermann. You should thank your lucky stars that Skr requested for stunt mats. And to think you


    were throwing a tantrum over that simple request. Without these mats, Skr would have suffered either


    physically crippling injuries, or worse, brain damage. Your props crew is truly first-rate for this to even


    happen. Need I remind you that we’re here to film a show, not to risk our actress’ life?”


    Josiah knew he was in the wrong. He exined in a gentler voice than before, “I swear this has never


    happened. Perhaps we’ve used too many props for this scene. Maybe the usual safety standards have


    not been met.”


    Skr shifted her head from left to right. She let out a sigh of relief after confirming that her neck wasn’t


    injured. Thank God. At least I don’t have any spinal or severe injuries.


    She quickly saw Avery standing in amongst the crowd. Disappointment smeared across Avery’s face as


    her brows twisted into a miserable frown.


    …


    News about Skr’s incident spread like wildfire amongst filming crew members. It wasn’t long before


    every single crew member at the filming site had heard about it. So now, Skry in her motorhome


    and was slurping on some chicken soup. Kate had someone deliver the soup earlier asfort food to


    soothe Skr’s rattled nerves.


    Kate sat opposite Skr in the motorhome. She cast a worried gaze at Skr, who seemed unbothered


    by the whole incident as if it had never happened.


    “Let’s get you some protective crystals someday. Literally, how can you be so unlucky? I bet Tobias uses


    protective charms as décor in his office too. It’smon for most businesses. Maybe you should ask him


    to acquire something for you.”


    Skr put a spoonful of the soup into her mouth. It was nice and warm until she tasted the yucky parsley.


    Seeing that they were finally alone, she disclosed her suspicions to Kate. “I think someone tampered


    with the harness. It doesn’t make sense that Largo’s functioned normally, but mine loosened. Kate,


    please look into this for me. The culprit could be anyone around us. I’m sure this won’t be their only


    attempt to harm me. And like you said, I’m not risking my life just to film a show.”


    Yet, Kate dismissed her, “You’re reading too much into the situation. It genuinely seems like an ident


    to me. Besides, who would do such a spiteful thing to you?”


    Skr was quick to respond. “Avery, duh. There’s no doubt that she would do something like this. When


    we were younger, she threw herself down a flight of stairs so that she could me it on me. Why


    wouldn’t she be behind this? She obviously wants me to suffer.”


    Kate still refused to believe her. “She was standing at the sidelines when you fell. Plus, she doesn’t look


    like the evil scheming sort. I bet you’re jumping to conclusions simply because you don’t like her.”


    At that moment, Skr found a striking resemnce between Kate and Tobias; the two only trusted


    themselves. They refused to be swayed by the opinions of others when making a judgment.

    Skr couldn’t understand the logic behind their actions. Are all sessful businessmen and women so


    stubborn? Do they all think their judgment is best while everyone else’s is wrong?


    Later at the hotel, Skr had taken a shower and was sitting on the bed. She hesitated on whether she


    should ask for Tobias’ help. Her hair was still dripping wet when she caved in and video-called Tobias.


    Couples normally video-called one another on a whim. It was often rxed and casual. However,


    Skr’s situation was different; she had battled herself mentally before finally pressing on that dreaded


    video-call button.


    Tobias immediately answered. Oddly, Skr could only hear his voice. His camera seemed to be leaning


    against the desk, so his face was off-screen.


    Pushing away her doubts, Skr sprawled on the bed and ced the camera up close to her face. She


    ranted, “I was injured today. I fell from high up and got crushed by the green screen.”


    “Is there anything else you need to say? If not, I’m hanging up because I’m busy right now. I’ll call you


    later.” Tobias’ voice was as swoon-worthy as usual. It could easily beat Largo without question. The only


    negative was that Tobias’ dismissive tone was enough to ruin one’s mood.


    Skr’s face darkened to a hideous purple as she scowled at him.
