Chapter 2137
The peace of the set was shattered by a piercing scream.
Diana had just slipped into the shoes provided by the crew, never anticipating the nasty surprise
someone had hidden inside!
âWhat's wrong with Diana?â
The crew members quickly gathered around as Diana winced in pain.
âThere's something in the shoe...â she murmured weakly, pointing to the footwear.
Carefully, she lifted her foot to find a deep puncture wound on her sole bleeding profusely.
A crew member flipped the shoe over and gave it a shake.
A thumbtack rolled out.
"Goodness! How did this thumbtack end up here?â
Diana's assistant hurried over with a medical kit.
A thumbtack in the co-star's shoe was no accident, and the news spread through the set like
wildfire. When Colton heard about it, his expression turned grave.
âI'm so sorry, Colton. It looks like I'll be holding up production again...â
After her assistant had given her a quick first-aid treatment, there was still the concern that the
thumbtack could have been contaminated. They needed to get her to a hospital for proper medical
examination.
Colton reassured her, âNo need to apologize. I'll make sure you and your agency get a satisfactory
response to this.â
Everyone understood that this was no mere accident. Just as the set had returned to calm, it was
once again thrown into disarray.
Colton immediately had the surveillance footage reviewed.
But the results were astonishing and unexpected.
"How could it be Ivy? She's one of our most talented. Why would she be so petty as to drop a tack
in Dianaâs shoe?â The figure in the surveillance footage was unmistakably wearing Ivy's outfit from
earlier that day.
âThat's just malicious. If Diana hadn't noticed and stepped down hard, that tack would've gone
straight into her flesh!â
Colton watched the footage over and over in silence. It clearly showed Ivy sneaking into Diana's
dressing room.
But having worked with Ivy for so long, he knew her character. She wasnât someone who would do
such a thing.
Yet with so many eyes fixed on the footage, the consensus was that Ivy was the culprit. As the
director, Colton found it difficult to
defend her.
âDianaâs acting has been improving by leaps and bounds. She's starting to outshine Ivy. She just
can't stand it and resort to underhanded tactics like sneaking into someone else's dressing room to
plant a tack. Colton, you can't tolerate such behaviour just because Ivy's the lead!â
Someone crossed their arms, clearly upset by Ivy's supposed action.
âI think so too. After all, Ivy's just a newcomer, and sheâs not backed by a big agency like the others.
âBarely getting any recognition, and sheâs already afraid of being overshadowed. Tsk, that's just
cruel!â
"I feel so sorry for Diana. She was so apologetic earlier, worried that her injury would delay the
production. She's really nice.â
