She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 516: Juliana Bullies Kate on Set

In the original story, the scene should be set in the rain, as the author described the supporting lead's disheveled appearance while kneeling in the rain.

Typically, if such a rainy scene occurred in the summer, the production team would use water sprinklers instead.

Juliana, intentionally tormenting Kate, had the rain changed to scorching sun for three days. Kate's heavy ancient costume was initially prepared for a rainy scene, but with the last-minute script change, she wasn't given time to change her clothes and had to kneel directly.

The director didn't expect Juliana to make mistakes frequently, causing Kate, who knelt in the scorching sun, to sweat profusely.

Over half an hour had passed. Kate had knelt for over half an hour, her knees beginning to ache and turn purple. Just as she was about to rest and stand up, Juliana interjected, "Mr. Collins, I'm ready. Let's begin."

The director felt conflicted. Miss Chambers was ready, but Miss Zamora seemed uncomfortable. Her face was pale and covered in sweat-soaked clothing. He hesitantly suggested, "Miss Chambers, should we take a brief break here? It's too hot, and everyone seems a bit tired."

Juliana, having just piqued her interest, found the director's sudden pause quite disappointing. She rolled her eyes impatiently and firmly stated, "Mr. Collins, about being tired, I am tired as well. But our location and personnel are all time-sensitive and budgeted. We've already wasted an hour, and if we continue to delay, perhaps we should just call it off for today."

As she spoke, she waved her fan, enjoying the cool breeze, glancing condescendingly at Kate below the stage, ready to take a more aggressive stance.

"Whether as an actor or in any other profession, professionalism should come first. There's no such thing as an easy job, and if someone as fragile as Kate can't adapt, they might as well find another career." All looked at each other, and lowered their heads even further.

Just get it over with, hoping to avoid suffering.

Kate's agent, Jayla, was grinding her teeth in hatred, wondering where Miss Chambers found the courage to criticize others.

Jayla sniffed, grumbling to Kate, "Baby, maybe we should stop. They're going too far. I'll talk to Reece and have him intervene!"

"Don't do that," Kate grabbed Jayla's sleeve, weakly smiling, "He's busy shooting. Let's not bother him."

Since entering the entertainment industry, Reece had helped her a lot.

There were already rumors online, some paparazzi had revealed that she and Reece had an unusual relationship, causing a massive loss of his fans. She didn't want to continue to burden him.

"I can handle this, Jayla. Trust me."

Kate straightened her sweaty body, gazing resolutely at Juliana and retorted coldly, "Miss Chambers, if you really want the shoot to proceed smoothly, then please act properly and stop causing NGS. Otherwise, I might question your professional abilities." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Infuriating!

Juliana fumed and, grinding her teeth, devised a sinister plan.

"Alright, everyone ready!"

The cameraman first captured an empty space, then turned the lens towards the two leads.

Juliana, escorted by two maids, strolled in gracefully.

"When I begged you to let get of my aunt in the past, you ignored me. I swore I would make you pay from then on!" Juliana emotionlessly recited her lines, pausing midway. She shot a glance at her assistant, standing in front of her, holding a sheet with the lines for her reference.

Thankfully, Kate's performance was good. Tears streamed down her face.

"I know I was wrong! Please, save my child. I apologize to you, please save him."

Kate approached Juliana and grabbed her clothes, according to the plot, Juliana should have dodged her hand.

Smack!

An unexpected slap landed on Kate's delicate face. The sweltering weather caused her cheek to swell and redden rapidly from the force of Juliana's hand. Gasps escaped the onlookers; this was plain bullying!
