Chapter 124
Before the words were spoken, the sword pierced the shoulder. Sasha bit the blood bag in her mouth,
and before she could speak, her senior, Jasper, pped Cassius away, embraced Sasha, and leaped
out of the hall.
The wire was suspending two people in midair, but it got stuck halfway. Marie suddenly had a bad
feeling. Before she could speak, the wire in the air snapped, and Sasha and the male actor ying
Jasper fell straight down!
At that moment, Darwin and Sabrina rushed out of the hall. There should have been more lines, but
upon seeing this scene, the two immediately ran over, trying to catch them.
Sabrina only had time to push away the obstacles on the ground. Sasha and the male actor brushed
against half of her body and crashed to the ground, making a heavy sound.
The actor who yed Jasper was named Christopher Zeller, a talent from Global Medias. Although he
remained in a tepid state in the entertainment industry, his acting skills were quite good.
Just now, when they fell, he protected Sasha bynding first with her in his arms, so Sasha ended up
falling on top of him.
The production team had already called an ambnce. Darwin carried the unconscious Sasha outside,
his voice trembling, “Sasha, Sasha, hang in there…”
Sasha had blood on her, but it was unclear whether it was from the blood bag earlier or from falling and
getting injured. It looked somewhat frightening.
Others carried Christopher, and some helped Sabrina onto the ambnce to go to the hospital.
Shirley looked a bit frightened, but Marie didn’t have time to deal with her and went to the hospital
together.
Who would have thought that a perfectly fine performance, with so many uses of wires, would have
issues? Sasha and Christopher just fell straight down.
At the hospital, Dennis called Marie with a sense of urgency, “Marie, where are you?”
“Sasha got injured, and Darwin and I are at the hospital,” Marie’s voice was as calm as possible, trying
not to worry Dennis.
After hanging up the phone, it wasn’t long before the doctor came out and said, “It’s nothing serious,
fortunately the height wasn’t too high. The man has a broken arm and some concussion, while thedy
cushioned her fall and is just unconscious. She will wake up soon.”
Marie and Darwin let out a sigh of relief, thanked the doctor, and went to Sasha’s hospital room.
In just a few months, Sasha had fallen into aa twice, and Marie didn’t know whether this time it
was intentional or an ident.
Sabrina walked in with her right hand bandaged and hanging around her neck. She reached out to
push an obstacle, dislocating her arm in the process. Otherwise, Sasha and Christopher wouldn’t have
fallen to the t ground and would possibly sustained more severe injuries.
Marie turned to her and asked, “Is your arm alright?”
Sabrina shook her head, looking at the unconscious Sasha on the hospital bed, and asked, “How is
Sasha doing?”
Marie patted Sabrina’s shoulder and said, “The doctor said she would wake up soon, don’t worry.”
Sabrina walked up, while Darwin sat in front of the hospital bed, staring motionlessly at Sasha, as if
the moment he blinked, Sasha would run away.
Sabrina put
fine.”
her hand on Darwin’s shoulder andforted him, “Darwin, don’t worry, Sasha is
Darwin patted Sabrina’s hand and said, “Yes, she’ll be alright.”
Marie returned to the production team and headed straight for the office. Ignoring the attempts of
several staff members to stop her, she mmed Sasha’s medical report on the table and asked, “There
have been two idents in the production team involving my people! Two! Concussions! Can someone
tell me why a perfectly good wire would break?”
She was really angry. To her, Sasha was her best friend, confidant, and a partner who apanied
her in her career struggles. Now that Sasha had been hurt several times, how could she not be angry?
“Ms. Spence, Ms. Spence, please calm down.
Must have been a staff mistake; the wire wasn’t secured properly, which led to this ident,” the event
staff tried to appease Marie.
“Mistake? A small mistake can exin it? If the wire had been hung high enough, Sasha would have
lost her life today! Which staff member made the mistake, and where are they?”
Marie was furious, thinking of Sasha lying in the hospital bed, she wished she could blow up the
production team.
“Ms. Spence, this isn’t really a big deal, is it? Besides, so many people touch the wire every day, who
knows which one identally loosened the lock?” Lawrence Larson said casually, with his legs
crossed.
In his opinion, nothing serious had happened to Sasha; she had just fallen and the little girl, being
weak, had fainted. Was there really a need for such an uproar?
Moreover, he didn’t even want Sasha to act in the first ce. If it wasn’t for the pressure from the
investors, he would have chosen Olive alread
Olive was beautiful, sexy, and good at
sweet-talking, unlike Sasha, who was wooden and only knew how to act.
Get Bo
Marieughed and turned to Lawrence, a hint of a cold smile on her lips, “Mr. Larson, there’s nothing
wrong with Sasha? Do you think something would only be wrong if she were dead?”
“Ms. Spence! What kind of talk is this? Sasha was so weak, yet insisted on acting. It’s not
necessarily the production team’s fault if she fainted. It could be anemia, you should look into it!”
Lawrence said.
Sasha got injured, but it wasn’t a serious injury. If the production team could avoid taking the me, of
course they wouldn’t take it. Who would want to paypensation?
Marie stared at him and asked, “How many benefits did Olive give you? What made you look down.
on Sasha so much?”
Lawrence blinked nervously and said, “What benefit? What benefit could I possibly have from Sasha
getting hurt?”
“You didn’t have it, but Shirley did. I’ll check one by one, and I’m sure I’ll find it on Shirley’s head!”
Marie said.
Lawrence was a bit flustered, as Olive had repeatedly told him to take care of Shirley. He had often
helped Shirley by speaking up for her and ridicule Sasha. This time, he didn’t know if it was Shirley who
had taken action or not.
However, Olive did treat him well. Lawrence became unhappy. “Ms. Spence, you can eat whatever you
want, but you can’t just say anything. By ndering Shirley like this, if the media finds out and says our
production team is not getting along, will you take responsibility? Besides, you know who Shirley’s
backer is, so why make things difficult for us?”
“Backer? Mr. Larson, it seems that I was too low-keyst time, and you still want to talk to me about
being a backer?” Marie sneered.
Lawrence couldn’t help but mock her, “Ms. Spence, not to be rude, but just because you have some
connections with Darwin’s family, it doesn’t mean the CEO of Global Medias can interfere with our
production team’s affairs, right?”
“Yeah, it’s time for me to step in…” Marie nodded, took out her phone, dialed a number, and coldly
looked at Lawrence. Speaking into the phone, she said, “Withdraw the investment from The Autumn
Tragedy production team! Withdraw it immediately!”
After hanging up the phone, Lawrence shook his head helplessly, “Oh, Ms. Spence, who are you trying
to scare? Which investor of our production team is under your control? If you really want to go this far,
then Sasha shouldn’te either!”
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Marie smiled, pursed her lips, and said, “Answer the phone, Mr.
Larson.”
Lawrence picked up the phone. “Hello? Oh, Mr. Cullen! Wow, it’s been a long time since west met.
You… What? Withdraw investment? Mr. Cullen, how can you just withdraw from such a good
coboration? Our show is definitely going to go extremely viral! Hey! Mr. Cullen! Mr. Cull-
The expression on Lawrence’s face gradually changed from ttery to shock. He didn’t understand
how a good investment had disappeared. Moreover, the news of Sasha’s injury hadn’t spread yet.
Lawrence looked up at Marie, in disbelief, “It was you… you did it?”
Marieughed, sitting in the chair immensely proud, “Mr. Larson said that one of our production team’s
investors is under my management. Coincidentally, I know someone named Cullen too. I
just don’t know if it’s the same Mr. Cullen that Mr. Larson mentioned.”
Before Lawrence could speak, Marie took out her phone and called Cullen, saying, “Cullen, only
transfer the investment money to the production team after I find out who damaged the wire.”
Lawrence finally realized that the biggest investor wasn’t targeting Darwin and Sasha, nor were they
targeting The Autumn Tragedy production team; they were targeting Marie!
Marie was the biggest investor!
And what did he just do? He mocked Marie like a fool!
He even wanted to drive Sasha away and also hoped to have another meal with Olive, that top-notch.
beauty!
“Ms. Spence… Ms. Spence… I’m ignorant… Please be the bigger person and don’t argue with me…
The production team can’t operate without investment…”
Lawrence panicked. ording to Marie, if they couldn’t figure out who messed with the wire, the
production team couldn’t even start working!
Marie reached out her hand, tapped the table, andughed, “Mr. Larson, don’t beg me, go beg Olive
and Shirley. Don’t they have a lot of backers?”
“No, no, Ms. Spence, I was just talking nonsense. Who couldpare to you? Please don’t joke
around, could you transfer the investment back?”
Lawrence forced a smile, knowing that if thepany found out their film’s investor had bailed halfway
through, he would have to bear the consequences of his own actions.
“Joking?” Marie sneered, “I wasn’t joking at all. I said, when we find the culprit, that’s when we’ll start
filming!”
“What if… what if it was just an ident?” Lawrence asked.
Marie ignored him, stood up, and left the office. Her intuition told her that this was not an ident.
While passing by the studio, she heard Shirley talking with her assistant.
“Shirley, that was really scary just now, wasn’t it? Thankfully it wasn’t too high, or else Sasha would
have fallen to her death, right?” the assistant whispered.
“What’s so scary? Haven’t you seen this kind of thing in the entertainment industry before? If you
dare to be famous, don’t be afraid of death. If you don’t die from a fall today, you’ll be hit by a car
tomorrow. Does she think she’s so great? She’s just afraid of dying,” Shirley mocked as she touched up
her makeup.
The assistant was removing Shirley’s hair essories and said, “That’s true, there have been so many
cases like this. I heard Ms. Spence was really angry…”
Shirley rolled her eyes and said, “Who does she think she is? Just a little girl with petty quarrels, and
she really thinks she canpete with Olive for inheritance and status?”
“But I heard that Ms. Spence is really protective of her people, and if she really starts to investigate,
we’ve been giving Sasha a hard time secretly…” The assistant was a bit scared.
“So what? Even if I went to the hospital tomorrow and killed Sasha, Marie wouldn’t dare do anything to
me. I have Olive protecting me, and if that’s not enough, there’s also Noel. Anyway, our studio won’t go
down.” Shirley packed up her makeup and got up to leave.
Upon turning around, they faced Marie’s sharp, knife-like gaze, staring straight at them, her eyes pitch
ck and seemingly bottomless.
Marie walked up to Shirley, raised her hand, and without hesitation, pped her across the face.

Shirley’s face was struck to the side, and the assistant came over to stop Marie. “Ms. Spence! What
are you doing!”
“Get lost!” Marie pushed the assistant away, walked up to Shirley, grabbed her cor, and shoved her
against the wall. She said, “Shirley, I really underestimated you! How did I not see this ruthless. side of
you before?”
“Let go of me! Let go of me! I’m calling the police!” Shirley screamed. Marie’s gaze was terrifying,
as if she wanted to strangle her.
“Shirley! Weren’t you trying to kill Sasha? I’d like to see who dies first – you killing her, or me killing
you!”
Marie pushed her away, and Shirley, unable to keep her bnce, fell to the ground miserably.
“Marie, are you crazy?” Shirley eximed, rubbing her arm.
“Ha!” Marieughed, “Wait until I kill you, then you’ll know if I’ve gone crazy or not!”
