My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

Eliza, youre finally here!” 

When Eliza arrived at Parson Media, the manager was already waiting for her at the entrance

The manager grabbed her hand and said, I have a job for you. One of the drama cast of Shaiwood, Madeleine Robinson, wants you to be her stuntwoman

The price she offers is three times higher than what a stuntwoman earns!” 

After arriving at the workplace of the crew. Eliza put on makeup and her protective gear

The director didnt start the filming process, even though everything was prepared

The stuntman beside Eliza couldnt wait any longer as he said impatiently. What are we waiting for

We are waiting for Ms. Robinson.” 

She said she wants to witness the scene herself because shes worried that the stuntwoman might do a sloppy job.” 

The assistant director couldn‘t help but sigh. Ms. Robinson is really beautiful and professional. Her talent is just beyond comparison!” 

Eliza wanted to laugh when she heard that

Professional?Eliza thought

Throughout Madeleines career, which was a span of five years, Eliza had studied every part of her scripts and guided her slowly to success

She was also familiar with Shaiwoods script

In this film. Madeleine was involved in a lot of fighting scenes, and she lost in most of the lights

In other words, losing a light meant being beaten up in her scenes

The reason why Madeleine wanted to be there physically was because she wanted to see Eliza being beaten up to a pulp

Something struck Elizas mind and for some reason, she found it very funny

When Eliza caught Jay cheating on her with Madeleine, she didnt cause a scene at all. Instead, she left silently while crying

But now, Madeleine went all the way to ridicule Eliza on set

It was as if Eliza was the one who interfered with their relationship

After a while, Madeleine arrived at the set

She crossed her legs while sitting on the chair and said, I have strict requirements. And Ill have the stuntwoman to repeat the fights until I see fit.” 

The assistant director said obsequiously. Ms. Robinson, I really admire your dedication and professionalism!” 

Hey! You hear that? You should do your best! Dont disappoint Ms. Robinson!” 

Its your honor to be assigned as her stuntwoman!” 

Eliza just couldnt be bothered

18:18 The filming began

Eliza and the stuntman had been partners for many years. After a series of impeccable choreography and swift movements, there shouldnt be any retakes anymore

The assistant director praised Madeleine repeatedly. The stuntwoman you assigned is really good at martial arts. Ms. Robinson, you really have a discerning eye for talents!” 

Madeleines expression turned cold. Im not satisfied with it.” Why are they using fake moves? It doesnt seem natural. I want them to fight for real.The assistant director was stunned

Was she being serious

Itll kill them!the assistant director thought

Ill pay for the medical expenses,Madeleine said

Madeleine picked up her fan and said casually, I just want the scene to look more natural.” 

Instantly, the assistant director gave out an order, Give them the weapons! Theyll engage in a real fight from now on!” 

Everyone on set was shocked beyond words

According to the script, the supporting character in this scene was beaten up until she was barely alive. The stuntman felt awful for doing this to Eliza. I dont think this will work. Why dont we talk it out with them?” 

Its fine.” 

Eliza smiled. Listen to her.” 

It was obvious that Madeleine was making things difficult for Eliza on purpose

Even if she asked Madeleine to stop it, she would just humiliate her even further. She had already signed a contract with Parson Media. Even if she didnt want to act out the scene, she still had to. Since Madeleine was aware of that, she wasnt afraid of bullying Eliza

Besides, she was a professional stuntwoman. It wouldnt matter if she suffered a few injuries

Eliza was knocked down time and again. However, she still stood up no matter how much it hurt. In the end, no amount of concealer could cover the bruises on her body anymore

Ms. Robinson, shell die if this goes on.The assistant director was drenched in sweat. In the end, the director got angry because the scene wasnt going anywhere. In the end, the fighting was called off. Only then did Madeleine stop torturing Eliza

Eliza changed her clothes and walked out of the set without any emotion on her face

As soon as she went out, she saw Jay standing at the entrance

He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a cap to hide his identity

He must be here to pick up Madeleine

She walked past him and strode towards the bus station

Eliza.” 

Jay called out to her softly

18:18 Eliza didn‘t stop walking

Quickly, Jay caught up to her and grabbed her arm. Eliza, why are you avoiding me?” 

Eliza shook him off without even turning her head. Why should I avoid you? Youre nothing to me.” 

Eliza!” 

Jay gritted his teeth and turned her shoulders to face him. Weve been lovers for so many years. Can you stop being so childish?” 

Madeleine and I are truly in love with each other. Cant you just feel happy for us?” 

Eliza clenched her fists tightly

Me? Feel happy for them?Eliza thought

How could he be that shameless? How dare he say those words to her

Even if I dont like it, will you ever stop being in a relationship with her?Eliza sneered. You are the actor of the year. Right now, your career and your relationship are thriving.You shouldn‘t be talking to a mere stuntwoman like me. Its too degrading for you.” 

After that, she left

Once again, Jay barred her from leaving and asked, Eliza, do you really have to do this?” 

Baby, I already told you, Eliza won’t be happy for us no matter what.” 

Madeleine appeared out of nowhere and sighed

She was no longer putting on airs while she was with the crew. Instead, she acted coyly as she walked gradually towards Jay. Then, she threw herself in his arms

She looked at Eliza with sympathy. Eliza, I didnt expect the incident to have such a huge impact on you. I cant believe it! Youre even married to that ugly and dangerous man, who has a notorious reputation of murdering his past fiancés!” 

Eliza sneered. Judging from Madeleines acting skills, it seemed like Eliza did raise her into a formidable actress

Eliza.” 

Jay said disappointedly, The Golden Bull Award will be held a month later. If everything goes well, Madeleine and I will be honored with the title of best actor and actress of the year.” 

When the time comes, our reputation will soar high, and we‘ll be extremely wealthy. If you promise to continue guiding us, I will think about saving you from that horrendous man.

Is he being serious right now?Eliza thought

She smiled

I have a handsome husband and a pair of beautiful children. Rest assured, I am living life to the fullest right now. I dont need your help.” 

Jay frowned and said, Stop lying to yourself. Everyone knows that Mr. Valentines face was ruined in the fire five years ago. He looks like a monster now.” 

Madeleine sighed and said, As long as you agree to guide us in our acting journey, I will try my best to protect you from Mr. Valentine. We‘ll even hold an honorable funeral for you if you die in his hands.” 

Eliza felt disgusted when she saw their pretentious attitude

At the end of the day, they just wanted to continue exploiting her talents as their teacher

18:18 Eliza snorted, You shouldnt listen to groundless rumors. He is just keeping a low profile.“Im sure the person who spreads that rumor is jealous of my husbands looks. I cant believe that you are gullible enough to believe it!How dare you call my husband ugly?Eliza sized Jay up and said contemptuously, You wont even be qualified enough to be his servant!You,” 

Before Jay could finish his sentence, Eliza interrupted him

Mr. Valentine is handsome, rich, and he loves me a lot. He is loyal to me, unlike you, whos easily seduced by other women.” 

Eliza raised her eyebrows and said proudly, “I think you should probably shut up and mind your own business. If my hubby hears about this, hell tear you to pieces!” 

Eliza felt embarrassed by her own words. Well, Beau wasnt here to listen to her nonsense anyway

After that, she ignored them and left quickly

Madeleine looked at her back and gritted her teeth. You dont deserve Jay at all! Besides, I suggest that you see a psychiatrist! Something is very wrong with your head!Eliza paused

Still she left without looking back. 

Madeleine hugged Jay and said pitifully, Eliza was my stuntwoman for the day, but she ruined it on purpose. The crew cant even advance to the next stage because of her!” 

Jay held her in his arms and said, “Honey, dont argue with her. You are definitely better than her.” 

A luxurious Bentley was parked at the opposite side of the road. Sir, didn‘t the children ask you to pick up madam today?Noah John, the assistant, looked at Elizas back and said, I think she just left. Lets.Follow her.” 

In the back seat of the car, Beau was scanning through a document as he said, Also, investigate those two who just made false accusations about me.Noah nodded. Sir, do you want me to...” Beau held the pen elegantly and made a note on the document. Didnt Eliza just say that I would rip them into pieces if I ever heard their wild accusations?”
