Chapter 422: Chapter 425

Sophia dragged Nicole back to her feet while saying sarcastically, “I wonder who was the one who kept making mistakes during filming this morning. Even if someone has to kneel, the person should be the one who wasted everyone’s time by making bloopers all the time!”

It seemed like Miss Olivia did have some influence in the film crew. The instant Sophia, who was obviously a walk-on, confronted her, everyone on set subconsciously glanced in their direction.

Then, they were shocked to see the new walk-on standing in front of Nicole and confronting Miss Olivia without knowing where she stood.

Tilting her head to one side, Sophia uttered word by word with ridicule and sarcasm written all over her face, “You used doubles in seven of your eight scenes. With such a bad personality and poor acting skills, it’s no wonder that you can only play a supporting role for a few minutes in the film!”

She spared Miss Olivia no mercy with her straightforward criticism.

Sophia’s words touched Miss Olivia’s sore spot. Initially, she had expected that the role of the female lead in ‘War Dragon’ would be hers. However, she was told a few days before signing the contract that the role had gone to a b*tch named Nicole Walker instead.

Because of that, she hated Nicole and often found fault with the latter on set. Even though she didn’t dare to make a big scene in the film director’s presence, she never stopped bullying Nicole behind the scenes.

Other people on set turned a blind eye to this, for they also hated Nicole, who landed herself the role despite having no backing at all. However, all of them wondered, Where did this d*mn ignorant walk-on come from?

Olivia glared at Sophia fiercely. However, the thought of her husband—who played as one of the male leads and was the biggest investor in this film—and the few billions in her bank account filled Sophia with confidence. Thus, she jutted out her chin and added, “What’s wrong with that? Ain’t I right?”

Nicole secretly tugged at Sophia’s clothes from behind as if wanting to remind Sophia to stop. However, Sophia was so furious right now that she couldn’t hold back her anger at all.

She was looking for an outlet to vent her anger. Michael—that douchebag—hooked up with women again, and he didn’t reject Natasha-the-b*tch’s advances, which made her blood boil.

Since she was in a bad mood, she wanted to pick a fight with someone to make herself feel better.

Miss Olivia stomped her foot and screamed hysterically, “Director!”

The director trotted over and wiped his sweat away before asking with a helpless expression, “What’s the matter again, my lady?”

Olivia’s tone of voice suddenly turned kittenish as she pointed at Sophia and said, “Where did this miserable walk-on come from? Throw her out of the set for me!”

The director glanced at the little walk-on before him, who looked young and unfamiliar. He knew all the well-connected cast members by heart, but since Sophia had been here for only a day, he had no impression of her. Therefore, he said casually, “She’s hired at 150 per day. Since you don’t like her, I’ll just chase her away.”

Then, trying to send her away, he stuffed cash worth 100 in Sophia’s hands without giving her the chance to speak as he told her in a good-natured way, “Just go and join other sets.”

It seemed that Miss Olivia was really quite influential since even the director was at her mercy. However, Sophia wondered whether she was as influential as Michael.

Sophia returned the money to the director, saying, “I’m not leaving. My cousin plays the male lead and is an investor of this film, so you guys have to ask for his permission before chasing me away!”

Before the director could speak, Miss Olivia eyed Sophia up and down with a strange look in her eyes.

Then, she asked doubtfully, “Which of the lead actors is your cousin?”

Sophia jutted out her chin again with the pride of a well-connected person as she declared, “Listen to me, y’all. My cousin is Taylor Murray!”

The entire scene suddenly fell into silence…

“Taylor Murray is your brother? Are you sure that this is not just your wishful thinking? You aren’t worthy of being Taylor Murray’s cousin at all!” said Miss Olivia tauntingly as if she had heard some outrageous joke. Forcibly suppressing her laugh, she stared suspiciously at the boastful walk-on in front of her.

Mimicking Miss Olivia’s tone of voice, Sophia crossed her arms as she countered, “Taylor Murray is my cousin. If you don’t believe me, I can show you our picture!”

Nicole was bullied so badly on set that she could no longer stand the sight of it. The way she looked at it, Nicole would probably be chased out of the film set within a few days if this were to go on!

Since Sophia had stirred up trouble now, she would have to deal with the aftermath of it to avoid giving Nicole trouble. Therefore, she threatened, “I’d advise you to behave yourself a little in the future because my cousin is very fond of me. One word from me is all it takes—”

“Hahahahaha!” Olivia suddenly burst out laughing with her hand clapped over her belly. The instant she laughed, her two assistants laughed too, and all the staff on the film set had strange and derisive smiles on their faces.

Miss Olivia laughed so hard that she couldn’t help covering her stomach with her hand. Pointing at Sophia, she mocked, “Haha! I don’t know where you come from, goofball, but please stop using my cousin to make yourself look good. I don’t know you at all!”

Sophia was puzzled. Miss Olivia’s cousin…

The personal assistant next to Miss Olivia said proudly, “Missy, this is Olivia Murray, Lord Taylor Murray’s only cousin sister. May I know what makes you a cousin of Mr. Murray?”

Sophia’s face turned ghastly in an instant. Michael’s cousin sister? Olivia… Murray?

She began searching her memory. Ever since she married Michael, she seemed to have never heard of him mentioning that he had a female cousin, nor had she seen such a person in his photo album.

Since Olivia’s surname was Murray, she was probably a cousin on Elizabeth’s side.

There were photos of the Fletchers in Michael’s photo album, yet she really had never seen any photos of a Murray in it.

Since Sophia claimed to be Taylor’s cousin in front of his real cousin sister, she instantly became the object of ridicule by the staff on the film set.

Looking Sophia up and down, Olivia said smugly, “My aunt Elizabeth has only one younger brother, who is my father, and Taylor is my biological cousin. I never heard about him having other cousins on my aunt’s side, so may I know what makes you a cousin of his exactly?”

Sophia frowned as she didn’t know how to answer Olivia’s question for the time being. With that, Olivia went even more overboard by taking a step forward and said overbearingly, “Make it clear, or I won’t let you go today!”

Her two assistants also closed in on Sophia aggressively. “That’s right! Make it clear or kneel down!”

Glaring fiercely at Olivia, Sophia suddenly thought of an answer. Thus, she answered with a sly smile, “No wonder I have never seen you in my cousin’s home. So you’re a relative of Aunt Elizabeth.”

“Aunt Elizabeth?” Olivia frowned.

Having found a way to get herself out of this embarrassing situation, Sophia said, “That’s right. Taylor is my mother’s brother’s son, so he’s my cousin.”

Olivia felt a little suspicious as she stared at Sophia.

Elizabeth didn’t tell her family about her marriage back then. They knew that Elizabeth had a son, but they didn’t know where he was, nor had they ever seen him.

After Elizabeth passed away, her enormous wealth was inherited by her son, but the Murrays couldn’t find out where he was despite having searched for a long time. It wasn’t until Taylor publicly admitted being Elizabeth’s son last year that they learned that Taylor was her son.

They knew nothing about Taylor’s father, but when Elizabeth came back to meet her parents one last time back then, she had disclosed that her lover died on the battlefield.

Sounds like he’s just a poor soldier instead of someone from a wealthy noble family.
