Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 387

“Yes, hurry! Get a doctor over here!”

Leroy was in shock as well. He hadn’t thought this kind of accident would happen, and hurriedly called for a doctor.

Max took Laura over to a chair by the side to sit down. Soon after, the doctor arrived.

Only then did Laura take her hand off her wound and let the doctor apply an ointment to her.

Fortunately, she’d dodged quickly, so the cut wasn’t deep.

The doctor was attached regularly to the cast. Because it was a fantasy themed show, there were a lot of fight scenes. There’d been two accidents before, so they’d up and hired a doctor to deal with any emergency situations.

Max looked at her wound, his expression ugly.

“What was that all about?”

He glared at Sally.

Sally forced a smile and said awkwardly, “I don’t know, we’d choreographed it before. I don’t know why she didn’t counter. I’d already started the stab, and I was panicking seeing her stay there without moving. I couldn’t take the strike back. Thankfully nothing happened. If something really had happened, wouldn’t I be a murderer?”

By her tones, she was clearly complaining about it.

Max frowned.

Laura’s face was cold all throughout the moment as she looked coldly at Sally.

“Are you sure you stabbed in the direction we rehearsed it?”

With that, everyone there jolted.

What did she mean by that?

Sally jolted too, and a bit of doubt flashed through her eyes, but she stood her ground and explained, “Of course, did you forget? We talked about it. I stab from the right, you catch it, then counter.”

Laura scoffed.

“Then why did I remember it was the left?”

“The left? That’s not possible!”

Sally didn’t even think about it as she shook her head. “You must be misremembering.”

Seeing that, Leroy felt that something was wrong and his brow furrowed. “What’s going on? You can’t even tell left from right now?”

Sally pouted resentfully. “Director, the choreography really was for us to stab from the right. You can ask the martial arts choreographer about it.”

At that moment, the choreographer who’d been standing not far away walked up, cleared his throat and nodded. “Yes, the moves we rehearsed really was the stab from the right. Laura was probably tired from shooting three scenes in one day, so she didn’t remember it correctly.”

Sally took over. “See, I was right.”

With that, she sighed and looked irritably at Laura.

“But really, no one was going to blame you for making a mistake, so why push it onto me? You’re not trying to make a good impression with Mr. Nixon’s arrival today, and framing me for it, are you?”

At that, Laura had to laugh with sheer exasperation.

Because the fight scenes were all taken care off by the choreographer, the director didn’t know the tangible details.

Hearing Sally say this and with Max there, he could only say, “You might really be tired after shooting so many scenes today, Laura. How about a rest to wait for your wound to close up?”

Laura said coldly, “That won’t be necessary.”

She turned to look at Leroy, her voice low. “As tired as I get, Director, I never forget choreographed moves that we rehearsed beforehand. I clearly remember that our choreography was to stab from the left, but she changed it to the right. I definitely didn’t remember it wrong.”

The director blinked.

Hearing that, Sally frowned.

“Why are you still so stubborn at a time like this, Laura? I already said that no one’s blaming you even if you made a mistake, but with the truth for all to see, you’re still trying to stick the blame with me. Isn’t that going too far?”

Everyone else seemed to think it was going too far as well as they started whispering among themselves.

After all, even the martial arts choreographer was saying it was the right, so wasn’t Laura just sticking with a clearly false story by insisting it was the left?

Even if Max was here and she wanted to save face without admitting fault, she couldn’t push the blame onto someone else!

So, in a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Laura became filled with a certain degree of content.

This person looked so pure and graceful usually, but she was actually this conniving!

Picking a day where Mr. Nixon arrived to frame someone – what was she plotting for?

Sally clearly noticed everyone’s reaction and couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased.

Ah Laura Laura Laura. Let’s see how she could survive in the cast after today.

But that was just the start, there was still the big finish coming!

She was thinking of all that when Laura walked up in front of the choreographer and said lowly, “Sam, are you sure the choreography was for her to stab from the right?”

Sam’s gaze flickered for a moment at that, but he still nodded surely. “Yes, I’m certain.”

“Heh, all right.”

She scoffed and turned to look at Leroy.

“Director, if I’m remembering things correctly, there should be CCTV on set, shouldn’t there? Since each side has their own story right now, how about we take a look at the recording, so people wouldn’t say that I framed her!”

At that, both Sally and Sam changed their faces.

They hadn’t considered that Laura would suggest checking the recording.

Since everyone had rehearsed the show for a long time, and on-set recording was a must, it had definitely been recorded.

Now what were they supposed to do?

Sally forced a smile. “I already told you that we weren’t going to press the matter, Laura, so what are we looking at the recording for? All right, all right, no matter how it is, I hurt you, so it’s my fault; I’ll apologize; sorry, okay!”

Leroy didn’t think there was a need to look at the CCTV footage either.

They were all in the same set, and having something this small get big would affect the reputation of the cast. By then, if word got out that Laura didn’t get along with her castmates, it would affect her too.

Most importantly, Max was here, and he didn’t want Max to think that a crew under him had this much infighting. It was bad for his image.

Because of that, Leroy tried to smooth things over and said, “Laura, let’s leave it.”

But Laura was insistent.

“I think it’s still better to take a look, director. After all, however big or small this incident was, it’s best for everyone to clear the air. I’m not saying to pin the blame on anyone, but whoever’s responsible for it should take responsibility. If we just let it pass like this, I don’t think anyone would be too okay with it, and it’d get in the way of everyone getting along. Besides, it wouldn’t take that long to look at the recording, wouldn’t you say, director?”

Leroy was still hesitant, but Max had already spoken.

“Get the recording.”

At that, Leroy didn’t have anything to add and had people fetch the recording.

While waiting for it, Sally and Sam didn’t look too good.
