Chapter 10 Wish They Were Dead “My gosh, you’re finally here!” Mary had just arrived at Film City and the supervisor was already waiting at the door. The supervisor grabbed her hand and said, “Here’s a big job. Miss Alice Moore, the supporting actress in Green City, specifically asked you to be her stunt double!” “And the pay is three times the usual!” After arriving on set, Mary directly put on her makeup. After everything was ready, the director did not start filming. “What are you waiting for?” The male stunt double who was with Mary was impatient. “Waiting for Miss Alice.” “Miss Moore said that she wanted to watch it personally. She was afraid that this female stunt double would not be able to get the feeling she wanted.” “Miss Moore is really beautiful and professional. You can never compare to her in this life!” Mary wanted to laugh when she heard this. Professional? Alice had been in the industry for five years, and every one of her scenes had been polished by Mary, who had thoroughly understood the script and carefully guided her. She had also seen the script of Green City. In this film, Alice’s role had many scenes where she was defeated in the later stages. Defeat meant that she would be beaten. The reason why Alice wanted to personally watch her was that she wanted to see her get beaten up with her own eyes. Speaking of which, it was quite funny. She caught Alice and her boyfriend “rolling” together. She didn’t beat or scold them but just left crying. However, Alice went through a lot of trouble, just to see her get beaten up. It was as if Mary was the cheater. How funny! Not long after, Alice arrived. She sat on the chair with her legs crossed. “My requirements are very strict. She will keep doing it until I am satisfied.” “You are really dedicated!” the deputy director said. “Yo, did you hear? Perform well!”
Chapter 10 Wish They Were Dead “It’s an honor for you to be Miss Moore’s double!” Mary ignored them.
The filming began. She and the male stunt double had been old partners for many years. The two of them made a set of fake movements, and the scene was smooth and natural. “This female stunt double is really good. Miss Moore, you really have a sharp eye!” “I’m not satisfied.” Alice’s face turned cold. “In the end, it looks fake. Let them really fight.” The assistant director was stunned. Really? People could die! “I’ll pay for the medical expenses.” “I’m also responsible for filming,” Alice said leisurely as she picked up a fan. “Let them fight for real!” the deputy director instructed. Almost everyone on the set was dumbfounded. This was a scene where the supporting actress was beaten until she was disabled, and they actually wanted to fight? “We can’t fight for real. Why don’t you talk to them?” “No.” “We’ll do as she says,” Mary said with a smile. Alice was here for her. Now, even if she went to beg Alice, she would only be humiliated by her. The supervisor had already signed the contract. Even if she didn’t act, she had to act. It was precisely because Alice had predicted this that she dared to act so recklessly. Besides, she was a professional substitute actor, so what if she was injured? Mary was knocked down again and again and stood up again and again. In the end, the bruises on her body could not be covered by any amount of concealer. “Miss Moore, if this goes on, she will really die.” The assistant director was sweating all over. In the end, the filming progress was too slow and the chief director was angry. Alice had no choice but to stop torturing her. Mary expressionlessly changed her clothes and walked out of the set. As soon as she went out, she caught a glimpse of Raymond standing at the door of Chapter 10 Wish They Were Dead the set. He was wearing sunglasses and a cap, which was covered tightly. He should be here to pick up Alice, right? She bypassed him and strode toward the public transportation station. “Mary” Raymond called out to her in a low voice. Mary did not stop walking forward. “Mary, why are you hiding from me?” Raymond
chased after her and grabbed her arm. “Why should I hide from something that I can’t even see?” Mary shook him off without even turning her head. “Mary!” “We’ve been together for so many years. Do you really have to do this?” Raymond gritted his teeth and grabbed Mary’s shoulder. “Alice and I truly love each other. Can’t you let us be?” Mary clenched her fists tightly at her side. Let them be? How could he be so shameless to say these words in front of her? “Even if I don’t let you be, are you going to stop?” “You’re the best-actor-to-be and you have your love,” Mary sneered. “Don’t get entangled with a substitute like me. It’s too degrading.” With that, she took her leave. “Mary, do you have to do this?” Raymond stopped her again. “Raymond, I told you. Mary doesn’t care about our relationship.” Alice, who had been standing behind the two of them at some point in time, let out a sigh. She changed from her arrogant and domineering attitude from before. With a weak appearance, Alice slowly walked in front of Raymond and lay in his arms. “Mary, I really didn’t expect this matter to give you such a huge blow. You actually married that old and ugly Mr. Notman who killed his two fiancees.” She looked at Mary with pity. Mary sneered. In the end, she was the one who had taught Alice to be so good at acting! “Mary.” “The Golden Ox Award awards ceremony will be held in a month. If nothing goes Chapter 10 Wish They Were Dead wrong, Alice and I will be this year’s best actor and actress.” “If you shake hands with us and continue to guide us in acting, I can consider saving you from that nasty man.” Save? Mary smiled. “My husband is handsome. My sons are obedient and my family is happy. Is there any need for you to save me?” “Don’t lie to yourself. Everyone knows that Mr. Notman was disfigured five years ago. He is an ugly monster.” Alice sighed, “As long as you continue to support us, even if you are played to death by Mr. Notman in the future, we will definitely collect your corpse.” The two of them sang and played along, and the way they acted made Mary want to vomit.

After all was said and done, they still couldn’t bear to part with her, a free worker. “Who said that my husband is ugly? He is just keeping a low profile.” She snorted coldly. “I have no idea who spread the rumor that he was ugly. That person was jealous of his looks! And you actually believe it?” “My husband is ugly?” As she spoke, she sized up Raymond’s face, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. “You are not even worthy to carry my husband’s shoes!” “You!” Just as Raymond said one word, he was interrupted by Mary. “My husband is handsome, rich, and loves me. He is loyal to me, unlike some cheating pig.” “I advise you to shut up. Otherwise, if my husband hears you, with his degree of infatuation for me, he will make you wish you were dead.” The woman raised her eyebrows proudly. Her face was not red and her heart was not beating fast. Anyway, William could not hear it. After that, she ignored the colorful expressions of the two people and strode away. Alice looked at her back and gritted her teeth. “Raymond chose me right. You are not worthy of him. You’re also delusional!” Mary paused. In the end, she left without looking back. Chapter 10 Wish They Were Dead “Today, Mary was a substitute for me. She deliberately made a mistake, causing the progress of the entire crew to slow down…” “Be good, don’t lower yourself to her level.” Raymond hugged the woman in his arms. On the road opposite the two of them, there was a luxurious Bentley. “Sir, didn’t the two young masters ask you to come and pick up Madam?” “Madam has already left. We…” The assistant, Mathias, looked at Mary’s back. “Follow.” In the back seat of the car, the cold man raised his hand and flipped through a document. “Also, investigate the two people who slandered me.” Mathias nodded. “You plan to…” William elegantly picked up a pen and made an annotation on the document. “Didn’t Madam just make it clear? Make them wish they were dead.”
