Chapter 120
He was baffled. There were so many people in the company, were they all just freeloading? Always calling him back, he couldn’t even enjoy his leave or flirt in peace.
After Tyrone left, Quintessa let out a cold laugh. The revolution was just at its beginning, conquering the high roller was going to take some effort
The relationship between her and Tyrone was actually at its best now. She needed to seize this opportunity. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
After Tyrone left, Quintessa continued filming as usual.
Her scenes were already into the second half, where Roxanne’s character, the lead actress, was rising to her zenith, while Queen Seraphina, played by Quintessa, was on the wane, getting worse and worse.
Now, the roles of Quintessa and Roxanne had reversed.
The scene where Queen Seraphina is stripped of her title, Roxanne looked at Quintessa with a triumph in her eyes as if saying, “Now you’ve got your comeuppance
According to the script, Roxanne was supposed to slap Quintessa in this scene.
Roxanne had been all pumped to give it her all, but as she raised her hand and met Quintessa’s fierce and malevolent gaze, her courage faltered
Quintessa was silent, yet her eyes conveyed everything she wanted to say: “Dare to slap me and see what happens.”
Seeing Roxanne’s inaction, the director threw down his headset and yelled, “Cut! Roxanne, what are you doing? Adjust your attitude and let’s go again”
Roxanne’s face twitched. She said to Quintessa, “Quinn, it’s written this way in the script, please don’t blame me.”
Quintessa shrugged, “I never said you couldn’t slap me. Go for it.”
Roxanne’s smile was insincere, “Then, I’d rather not-”
Before she could finish, Quintessa cut her off, “As long as you still want your hand afterwards.
The smile on Roxanne’s face instantly froze. Quintessa grabbed her hand and said with a laugh, “Such a pretty hand. It would be a pity to chop it off.”
The director called for them to get ready. Quintessa let go of Roxanne’s hand.
*Come on, make it a hard one. Remember this feeling of slapping someone for the last time. You won’t get to feel it again.”
A chill ran down Roxanne’s spine. She was sure Quintessa wasn’t just making empty threats; this woman was seriously ruthless.
Roxanne looked at her own hand, which was trembling.
Gritting her teeth, Roxanne started filming and tried to calm herself.
After finishing her lines, it was time to slap Quintessa. Roxanne bit down and slapped hard, but she controlled the position well, not actually hitting the face. Quintessa played along perfectly, and from the side, it looked like a crushing blow.
The director was finally pleased. Quintessa stood up, a mischievous grin on her lips, “Playing nice, huh?”
Roxanne glared at her fiercely and stormed off.
Quintessa quickened her pace, came up beside Roxanne, and tripped her, making her fall flat on her face. Roxanne’s knees and elbows were painfully scraped. Angrily, she shouted, “You did that on purpose!”
Quintessa nodded, “Yeah, I did it on purpose. Come fight me.”
Roxanne felt a mix of fear and hatred toward Quintessa. She called her agent over and quickly had him help her leave. Roxanne fled, and Quintessa felt a touch relieved. Turning around, she saw Jonathan standing behind her.
Quintessa’s face darkened!
