Chapter 288: Chapter 298 Falling into Water by Yourself
But these three takes, she would definitely make Mabel Quinn remember for a lifetime!
"Mabel, I’m really sorry, having you help me again." Grace Yowell stepped forward with an apologetic look.
"It’s okay." Mabel Quinn smiled calmly, "We’re all doing this for the film."
When it was time for the official shoot, Lillian Scott was itching with eagerness, wishing she could push Mabel Quinn into the water immediately, making her a drowned rat.
"Amy, you’re too much. You know perfectly well that Orion is into you, yet you pretend not to in front of me. You’re deliberately trying to make a fool out of me, aren’t you!" Lillian Scott recited her lines, then forcefully pushed Mabel Quinn with both hands.
Mabel Quinn, enjoy the taste of falling into the water!
Lillian Scott shouted in her heart. By then, everyone here would get to see Mabel Quinn’s embarrassing state. She wanted Mabel to know, she had to see who would step on whom!
To her surprise, her hands didn’t touch Mabel Quinn. Instead, Mabel’s whole body seemed propelled by some force, plunging straight into the water.
Lillian Scott was stunned. What on earth?!
In the water, Mabel Quinn was floundering, clearly looking like she was choking. Nearby staff quickly jumped in to rescue her, and the director rushed over, yelling at Lillian Scott, "Lillian, how could you push Mabel down with such force? Don’t you know pushing someone into the water like that could be fatal?"
"I... I didn’t push her at all, she fell in herself!" Lillian Scott quickly defended herself.
But who would believe her excuses now? Everyone saw Lillian Scott reach out and push Mabel Quinn, and only then did Lillian understand why Mabel had lowered her body when she extended her hand. Mabel had calculated the camera angles and deliberately avoided them, making it look like she was pushed into the water.
Yet thinking this way made Lillian Scott shiver all over. Was it possible? Could a screenwriter, not even a professional actor, deliberately calculate such angles and set her up like that?
By this time, Mabel Quinn had been rescued, her face pale, displaying a frail demeanor of someone barely surviving a disaster. "Director, sorry, it was planned to shoot twice more if the first take didn’t work, but now..."
"It’s okay, those last takes were great. No need to reshoot. Go take a good rest, Lillian, hurry up and apologize to Mabel." The director said.
"No need, I think Miss Scott didn’t do it on purpose." Mabel Quinn said.
But the more she said this, the more people around felt that Lillian Scott did it intentionally. After all, Lillian had targeted Mabel in the crew before, and this time it was Lillian who insisted Mabel be the stunt double. Plus, the moment Lillian pushed Mabel, her face clearly had a smug smile, which everyone noticed clearly.
Watching all the accusing eyes around her, Lillian Scott, ashamed and angry, exclaimed, "Mabel Quinn, stop pretending to be a good person, you shameless thing, why didn’t you drown in the pool just now!"
As she said this, Lillian raised her hand, attempting to slap Mabel Quinn, only for another hand to intercept hers in mid-air.
