Xyla stared at the ceiling. “You can take it as a yes.” “I can take it as a yes.” Mindy looked a little confused. “What does that mean?”
“It is what it is, literally.” Xyla did not want to explain too much, but she looked at Mindy when she thought of something. “By the way, how’s the crew doing with the investigation?”
Mindy replied, “The crew is currently investigating the props. Generally speaking, the props bureau wouldn’t make such mistakes.”
Mindy looked incredulous. “Moreover, the real props are only used as decorations. The props master just wouldn’t make such a mistake for the scene between you and
Howard.
‘The fake props used by the crew usually look so real that they might get mixed up with the real items, so it’ s inevitable to get them wrong if they’re not appropriately allocated. However, Howard’s prop dagger in today’s scene is specially prepared, and it’s impossible for things to go wrong.
‘Unless… Mindy was shocked. “Could someone have replaced the fake prop with a real thing? Xyla frowned slightly. She did not utter a single word while Mindy rubbed her chin.’ Someone must be targeting you deliberately. Could it be the ladies in the crew?”
Xyla wanted to sit up from the bed, but her chest hurt when she moved. Thus, she lifted her hand gently. “Mindy, please crank the lever and raise the bed for me.”
Xyla got to sit up and look at her. “I don’t think it’s them.”
Mindy wondered, “Why?” “Doing such a thing to me won’t do them any good. They would at most badmouth me behind my back to make them feel better. Would they still be able to stay in the crew if they were to be found out by the crew
that they’ve done such a thing to me?” Mindy paused for a split second as what Xyla said made sense. “But if it’s not them, who could it be?” “Can you think of someone who’s currently closely associated with me and has quite a connection with the props bureau?” Xyla raised an eyebrow and smirked.
“That can only be someone from the crew. Mindy really could not think of anyone.
Xyla stared at her. “I’ll give you a clue. It has something to do with my recent news.” Mindy arrived at a lightbulb moment instantly. “It’s Nathan?” Xyla frowned. “I can’t think of anyone else other than him.”
‘Nathan has now become a reject. If it’s verified that the matter is true, Zestar Media will most likely freeze their contract with Nathan, and the whole entertainment industry will also ban Nathan.
‘A man whose future has been laid waste, what will he choose to do in order to turn the tide? He would even think about the person who led all the public’s opinion against him. After all, Nathan’s effort was indispensable when it came to the affair that put me on top of all trending news on Google Trends and Twitter.
‘When the public’s opinion made a U-turn, it’s only natural for Nathan to think that I’m the one who did it. So , it’s possible for him to commit such an act to retaliate against me. Not to mention that he was in the film industry and knows a thing or two about the props we use in the field.’
A few days later, Xyla’s injury made the news, and the crew came forward and apologized immediately as a response.
The director and the crew went to the hospital to visit her to make sure she was all right. They also asked her to have a good rest first and that her part could be made up later on.
When Mr. Mayweather learned that his daughter was injured, he hurried to the hospital. “Xyla.”
“Dad.” Xyla looked at him. “Why are you here?”
“You’ve been hurt. Can’t I come to visit you?” Mr. Mayweather stood by the bed and frowned after confirming that she was indeed fine and was not suffering from any other injuries. “Your mother knows that you got injured during the shooting, and she’s worried to death. I knew that I shouldn’t have given you the green light when you told me that you wanted to venture into the entertainment industry.”
“But you’ve agreed to it.” Xyla leaned against the head of the bed. “It’s not that it’s a very common thing that happens all the time. I promise that I’ll be more careful from now on.”
Mr. Mayweather wanted to say something but hesitated, then helplessly placed both his hands behind his back. “The director of
your crew has explained it to me. You’re so careless! I was so scared when—”
Xyla sighed. “1 get it, Dad. I’m really fine.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yorrick appeared at the door, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed.
