Chapter 222

Author: Word Breaking Venice
After hearing this, everyone grew angrier.

In fact, the first take was already good enough, but Rowena had insisted on having a second retake. Although the second retake was quite perfect and without any shortcomings, she still wanted to look for a flaw of Gemma which did not exist. She claimed that it was a bit fake when Gemma fell on the ground and requested for a third retake.

Even a blind person could tell that Rowena was deliberately trying to make life difficult for Gemma.

Everyone felt indignant but did not dare to speak.

‘Nobody dares to say a word because Rowena is the boss and all the hits were coming from her.

‘Enduring her is the only way’.

The director held back his anger and shouted, “It didn’t work out for the last retake. Let’s have another retake, action!!!”

Gemma bit her lip and continued acting without complaining.

There was not much difference between this retake and the last retake, but Gemma paid special attention to the action of falling. She let herself

    “Okay, let me demonstrate it for you.”Rowena personally played the role of the wife, raised her hand and slapped Gemma’s face.‘Slap!!!’A clear slap in the face greeted everyone’s ears.This slap had hit hard on Gemma’s face. Gemma had suffered a heavy blow when she was not ready. She did not have to act anymore as she actually fell.With a snap, her bone almost broke after the fall.Tears of pain and grievance naturally fell from her cheeks.Everyone glanced at Gemma with a sympathetic look because it was very undignified to act like this.Slapping one’s face was a normal act in a scene and it was all done by ‘shifting one’s position. Although it looked like a person was slapping the other, actually that person was slapping the air. There was much cry and little done, so it would not cause any harm to the actors at all.But this time

Rowena really slapped Gemma in the face.She had not shifted her position at all.She was not acting at all.She really slapped Gemma.

    “Let go of me!”“I order you to let go of me!”Rowena yelled and the security guards at the venue hurriedly came up and got ready to receive orders.At this time, Gemma, who was badly bruised went on to pull Thomas’ sleeve and said, “Sir, please let go of her.”“What?”In an instant, Thomas’ fury turned into doubt, “She just treated you like that, you still want me to let her go?”Gemma sighed, “I know you want to help me and want to seek justice for me. After all, I’m just a stand-in actress and a nobody.”“Rowena is different and she is a superstar.”“If you cause her any injury, this will delay the filming progress of the entire crew and increase the filming expenses; and the hits of the whole film depend on her. Without her, who would watch this film?”“If you cause her any injury, it will not do you any good either. By then, thousands of her fans will besiege you and cause you much trouble in your life.”Gemma bit her lip and said, “So sir, just forget about......the mat

    Upon arrival, Casey trotted into Flowers Garden and saw Thomas.He ran over quickly.Rowena thought that Casey was running towards her and she took the initiative to greet him. She said in tears, “Mr. Bailey, I feel so lucky to have you here. I was so badly bullied. You have to uphold justice for me!"Casey Bailey was stunned, “Who dares to bully you?”Rowena pointed her finger at Thomas and said, “It’s him. He gripped my hand so painfully. He also claimed that I have no acting skills and I am not worthy of being the main actress. Mr. Bailey, I have never been bullied like this all my life. You must uphold justice for me, and teach him a good lesson!”Casey Bailey’s face turned somber.‘Teach Thomas a lesson?’‘Hehe, you don’t have the guts to do that!’He coughed and asked again, “Rowena, is everything you just said true?”“Of course, everyone here has heard it. If you don’t believe me, ask the others!”“This silly guy also said that Gemma would replace me as the main actres

    Rowena Bolton totally wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. She laughed awkwardly. "Bailey, you're joking right?"Casey Bailey answered coolly, “Does it look like I'm joking to you?”The smile on Rowena's face slowly stiffened. Then, her face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression. “Casey Bailey, are you for real?”“Of course!”“You bastard. You've signed me over, and now you want me to break the contract. What do you take me for? Am I just here for you to bully as you wish?”Casey answered, “I'm willing to bear all the compensation. Even if we need to pay extra, we will still need to send someone like you off. Here at Scott's Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, we will never accept an artist with such low ethics as you!”“Fine, you win.”With that said, Rowena took off her costume and dumped it on the floor. “Scott's Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, is it now? I won't work for you anymore!”With her agent, she was prepared to leave the set.Hal

    With such a tempting offer from him, he would overcome any challenges, no matter how hard it got!The director kept nodding. “Not a problem! Rest assured, Mr. Thomas. Even if I were to stay up every night, I will definitely give you a satisfying answer.”“Hmm. It’s all up to you then.”Thomas turned to leave. Gemma came up to him. Her face was full of embarrassment and glee. “Mr. Mayo, I really don't know how to thank you...”“There’s no need to thank me. It’s all your hard work. Your acting is superb and exquisite. You look very pretty too, and you are willing to put in the effort to get down and dirty. Who else would I promote, if not you?”Gemma’s face immediately flushed red like a ripe apple. She had been smothered with countless praises growing up, and she had lost count of the people who praised her good looks. But only Thomas’s praise at that moment could make her truly happy from the bottom of her heart. It was even accompanied with a hint of embarrassment. Gemma

    Everything went smoothly afterwards and Rowena became the female lead for Soren’s new film. Over the following days, the two went from strangers to close friends. They hung around each other every day. With or without reason, they would lock themselves in a room alone to study the script. Their time together became more and more “fun”.The gossip and noises from outsiders became louder, and the voices reached Iris's ears. In the beginning, Iris did not pay it any heed. Until one day, she saw Soren wrapping both his arms around Rowena’s waist as he directed her acting during filming. The both of them were entwined together in broad daylight. This scene made Iris’s heart shatter completely. One day, Iris was conducting a performance class, and coincidentally Rowena was one of her students. “Rowena, did you hear what I just said?”“Come and demonstrate it once in front of the class.”Rowena sauntered in front of everyone, and she reenacted all that Iris had just taught. The r

    “I am just waking you up.”“Don't think you are all that because you are a performing arts teacher. Without me, you are nothing!”“Let’s go.”Soren held Rowena’s hand and left the classroom in front of everyone’s gazes. Rowena rushed up to Iris and put her middle finger up, flaunting a look of victory. The other students followed suit and stood up to leave. Not a single one of them went to help Iris up. All throughout Hegemony Entertainment, all the artists there only thought of themselves.Iris felt sadder the more she thought about it. Her tears pattered the wooden floor as they dripped down. She reached to hold the necklace laying on her chest. Opening the crystal locker, a man’s photograph fell out from between the pendant’s clasps.“Nelson, where are you? I miss you so much.”“I came back so I could see you again.”“If only I could see you once more. I could even die with no regrets.”“Nelson...”Iris held onto the crystal pendant with both her hands, crying her hea

    Whenever Thomas lost his temper, not even the 10 hunting dogs could retrieve it back. Anna laughed bitterly, annoyed that she had no choice other than to bring him to the top three streaming sites' administration building. The first one they went to was Younique's company building. They arrived at the boss's office. Younique's boss, Edwin Smith, was pretty polite. He had Thomas seated on the sofa. Then he served him refreshments and tea. His hospitality was attentive and meticulous. Edwin smiled sweetly and asked, “Nice to see you visiting me today, Mr. Thomas. What brings you here?”Thomas waved his hand and went straight to the point. “I'm only here to get one thing clear, our company invested and filmed a web film ‘It’s Always Been You’. Could your website provide us the top recommendation placement on the homepage?”Edwin snickered for a bit. Then he stood up and walked a few steps as he chuckled. “Mr. Mayo, a web film produced by your Scott's remembrance cultural arts ente

From then onwards, Declan was finally

    Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi

    It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible

    At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the

    Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’

    For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin

    How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the

    After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck

    “I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
