Chapter 387
Spoiled by the President
âYes, quickly! Get the doctor!â
Yuri was horrified too as he did not expect this accident to occur. He quickly sent someone to get the doctor.
Joel led Lucy to a chair and sat down. A few minutes later, the doctor arrived.
Lucy withdrew her arm and allowed the doctor to treat her wound.
Fortunately, she evaded the dagger in time, so the cut was not too deep.
The doctor was based on the film set. As they were filming a historical drama, there were a lot of martial arts scenes and two accidents had already happened earlier. Thus, the film crew recruited a doctor to be on standby in case of any emergencies.
Joel stared at her wound with a scowl.
âWhat on earth happened just now?â
He eyed Suzy in a hostile manner.
Suzy forced a smile and muttered, âI have no idea. Weâve already choreographed our fight, but somehow, she didnât react as planned. Since the dagger was unleashed, I panicked when she didnât move and I couldnât withdraw it in time. Luckily nothing bad happened. What if something did happen? I would have ended up as a murderer.â
Her words were laced with displeasure.
Joel frowned.
Throughout the conversation, Lucy maintained an icy expression while she regarded Suzy questioningly.
âAre you sure that the direction of your attack was as what we have choreographed?â
Everyone on set was stunned when they heard Lucyâs response.
What did she mean?
Suzy was shocked too. There was a flash of guilt in her eyes, but she refused to give in and insisted, âOf course, donât you remember? Weâve already discussed this. Iâll stab towards the right, you hold it and then retaliate.â
Lucy laughed sarcastically.
âWhy do I recall it being towards the left?â
âLeft? Impossible!â
Suzy nodded without hesitation. âYou must be mistaken.â
Yuri found it fishy as well and asked with a crease between his brows, âWhat the h*ck happened? Canât you distinguish between left and right?â
Feeling wronged, Suzy pouted. âDirector, as discussed earlier, I was supposed to stab towards the right. If you donât believe me, you can ask the martial arts choreographer.â
Meanwhile, the martial arts choreographer, who was standing nearby, came up to them and cleared his throat before affirming, âYes, weâve choreographed the fight and she was supposed to stab towards the right. Lucyâs probably fatigued from shooting three scenes in a row, so she must have muddled it up.â
Suzy quipped, âYeah. See? I was right.â
Then, she let out a sigh and looked at Lucyâs nonchalant appearance.
âBut you have crossed a line. You made a mistake and nobody blamed you either, so why did you pin the blame on me? Just because Young Master Foster dropped by today, you canât accuse me in order to impress him!â
Lucy wanted to laugh when she heard Suzyâs remark.
The fight scenes were handled by the martial arts choreographer, hence the director was unsure about the details.
He was mindful of Joelâs presence when he responded to Lucy, âLucy, Iâm sure youâre exhausted after shooting so many scenes today. Why donât we talk about this after you have rested and healed your wound?â
Lucy answered wanly, âItâs fine.â
She turned to Yuri and lowered her voice, âDirector, no matter how tired I am, I will never forget about my planned choreography. I distinctly recall that the attack was supposed to be directed towards the left, but she changed it to the right at the last minute. I wonât muddle this up.â
The director froze.
A wrinkle appeared between Suzyâs eyebrows.
âLucy, why are you so obstinate? Iâve said that nobody will blame you even if youâre at fault. However, the truth is right before our eyes, yet you pin the blame on me. Youâre being unreasonable!â
The onlookers listened on and thought that Lucy was unreasonable too. They began to whisper among each other and exchange comments.
The martial arts choreographer had already said that it was the right, but Lucy kept asserting that it was the left. She was obviously in denial!
Assuming that she did not want to lose face in Young Master Fosterâs presence, it was still wrong of her to blame someone else!
Therefore, everyone began to regard Lucy with disdain.
Although she usually came across as innocent, she turned out to be a scheming individual!
What was she trying to achieve by humiliating another person in front of Young Master Foster?
Suzy felt smug when she realized the onlookersâ reactions.
âLucy, oh Lucy, I wonder how long youâll last at the film set from today onwards.â
âDonât worry, itâs just the beginning. Something big awaits later!â
As she pondered, she saw Lucy approaching the martial arts choreographer. âMr. Cortez, are you sure that you choreographed us to attack towards the right?â
Mr. Cortez shifted in his gaze, but he still replied confidently, âYes, Iâm sure.â
âHa, alright.â
She chuckled and turned to Yuri.
âDirector, if I remember correctly, there are CCTVs on set, arenât there? Since everybody is sticking to their own arguments, why donât we check the CCTV footage? So somebody canât say that Iâm accusing her!â
Suzy and Mr. Cortez were appalled upon hearing this.
They had never expected that Lucy would mention the CCTV.
The actors of this show had been practicing for a long time, so CCTVs were a must on set. As such, their conversation was definitely recorded.

Suzy tried her best to smile. âLucy, Iâve told you that weâre going to let this slide. Why do you want to check the CCTV footage? Fine, fine, no matter what happened, I stabbed you by accident. It was my fault and I apologize to you, alright?â
Listening in, Yuri also agreed that checking the footage was unnecessary.
Everybody was working on the same set. Blowing this incident out of proportion would not only negatively affect the film crewâs reputation, but it would also be bad for Lucyâs image if the public got wind of her beef with her co-star.
Therefore, Yuri attempted to defuse the situation. âLucy, how about we forget about this matter?â
However, Lucy was adamant in her stance.
âDirector, I feel that itâs better to check the footage. After all, this is neither a major nor a minor incident. All of us will feel better once we have figured things out.
âIâm not trying to blame anyone, but whoever is in the wrong should be responsible for their actions. If we let this issue slide without clearing it up, in the end, there will be more misunderstandings and our work relationship will be affected.
âBesides, checking the footage wonât take up much time. Donât you agree, Director?â
Yuri was hesitant, but Joel started to speak.
âGet the CCTV footage.â
Since Yuri could not defy him, he instructed someone to obtain the footage.
As everybody waited, Suzy and Mr. Cortez began to panic.
