Timothy’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
“That’s enough. Don’t expose me anymore.”
Elspeth, however, couldn’t control herself and burst out laughing.
“Stop laughing. I already know it’s funny.”
After all, it was indeed amusing for him to not get injured during the fight but to sprain himself when he was on the way back.
With this, everyone in the ward began to laugh.
The ambiance became more harmonious and Elspeth decided not to pursue the matter.
After chatting with Timothy, both Elspeth and Callum returned to the hotel while Yelena and Blake went back to the set to continue filming.
Callum noticed that Elspeth was a little absent-minded.
“What are you thinking?”
he asked.
“Emma is most likely the person behind this. I don’t want to let her off so easily,”
Elspeth replied, her voice cold and her gaze dark.
“What do you plan to do, then?”
Elspeth touched her chin. Seemingly in thought, she said indifferently,
“I’m going to teach their crew a lesson.”
“What do you mean?”
Callum raised his brows and asked.
“You’ll know soon.”
Elspeth then let out a faint smile as a plan was formulated in her mind.
The next morning, a piece of news on Twitter appeared, conveying that the release of the ‘Song of Viollenys’ would be delayed and would no longer be broadcast together with ‘The Moment I Met You’.
‘The Moment I Met You’ was a romance drama starring Yelena and Blake, which focused on the characters’ school lives.
Many fans began to voice their opinions, complaining that they had waited so long, only to learn that the show had been postponed. Other fans began to speculate as to the true reason for this.
In the afternoon, Emma revealed that her face was riddled with acne and blemishes. She even posted proof of her hospital treatment and announced that such a situation was unlikely to improve in a matter of weeks. Hence, she could not continue with her work and the shooting had to be delayed.
Someone on the Internet then commented, ‘Since she can’t shoot, just replace her.’
Such a thought immediately gained a lot of supporters.
It caused a chain reaction, as such a comment also sparked many people’s ideas and arguments.
‘Emma’s acting isn’t particularly good either. Look at all of her previous shows. They are all bad!’
‘Emma doesn’t look special and neither is she easily recognized. Maybe it’s just me, but I really can’t seem to appreciate her beauty.’
‘Emma is not suited to be cast in a historical drama at all. Have you all seen the film stills? She looks terrible! The show should replace her, or else they will never get a high rating!’
Meanwhile, Emma, who was in the hospital for treatment, had hoped for the netizens’ concern and sympathy. However, when she read all of the comments, she almost blew her top.
Emma browsed through the comments section. Almost all of them were pointing out her flaws and asking her to quit the film, or even stop acting altogether.
Even more, some people forwarded Elspeth’s video to humiliate Emma, indicating that even an amateur acted better than her.
Her body was shaking involuntarily in anger. Waking up to find red spots on her face not only held up her chance to shoot films but also forced her to be admitted to the hospital. To make things worse, even the netizens were criticizing her.
Just as she was feeling utterly upset, Arthur suddenly called her. Taking a deep breath, she read the caller ID on the screen, feeling nothing but irritation.
Nevertheless, she answered the call.
“Hello? What is it, Arthur?”
His voice betrayed a hint of panic, but he managed to hide it.
“What happened to you? Have you seen the comments online?”
Emma blamed everything on her bad luck, so she answered sadly,
“I have no idea. I woke up to find red spots on my face. However, Elspeth probably has something to do with the comments online. She surely is out to suppress me!”
Just the thought of this matter made Emma grit her teeth.
“Have you ever thought that Elspeth might be responsible for the red spots on your face?”
His words put a frown between her brows.
“Really? Elspeth is staying in Damoria for the time being, isn’t she? Besides, I doubt she’s that capable.”
However, Arthur understood Elspeth’s capability to manipulate others very well. Thus, he sneered,
“There’s one thing you need to know. Elspeth’s capabilities are beyond what you can imagine. You don’t even know how many identities she is using.”
Thinking that he was exaggerating Elspeth’s abilities on purpose, Emma frowned deeper.
“So what? Even if she has exceptional abilities, she can’t do anything to my face, can she? I visited the doctor a while ago. He says that I’m allergic to plants. It might be caused by-“
“What if I tell you her mentor is Sonny Schwartz, the expert on traditional medicine?”
The new information changed everything, and a cruel look formed on Emma’s face.
“I get what you mean. What should I do?”
“Keep this between us. For the time being, stay in the hospital to rest and recuperate. I’ll deal with it when the time comes.”
As soon as Emma heard that, her voice turned gentle.
“Arthur, thank you so much. I can’t even begin to imagine what I would do without you.”
The man on the other side of the line curled his lips into a faint smile.
“If so, meet up with me tonight.”
Emma immediately took the hint. Their meeting wouldn’t be as simple as it sounded. Instead, it would end up being more intimate.
“You’re such a naughty boy.”
She feigned shyness on the surface, but she was trying to suppress the feeling of repugnance in her heart.
She decided that once she dealt with the despicable Elspeth, she would dump the clingy Arthur. By that time, Callum would definitely regret breaking up with her.
Meanwhile, Elspeth burst into laughter after she read the comments.
Callum was sitting on the sofa as he took his time to peel an orange for her. Noticing her amused reaction, he smiled slightly.
“What is it? Are you that happy just because you dealt with Emma?”
“She had it coming. The negative comments are all over the Internet. It’s hilarious.”
He nodded.
