Jane frowned at Loke, who was walking toward Coco. She knew that they were schoolmates, and Loke was also one of the investors in this adaptation.Loke ran up to Coco and persuaded her, "Don't act in this scene. I'll talk to Ash." At the company today, he heard that Coco was being forced to play a stunt double in a scene involving a brutal beating, so he rushed over to the film set."Your words won’t help," Coco said. "How will you know unless I try?""Because the situation is beyond our control," Coco said. "Jane was the one who forced me to do it. Ash and Stella could only agree because they don’t want to offend Jane." Or rather, they didn't dare to offend whoever was behind Jane. Coco didn’t know who was behind Jane. She only knew that Jane had a powerful man supporting her, which was why she got such good roles. This TV series was just a stepping stone for her next major role. After pondering momentarily, Loke asked Coco to wait for him before leaving to meet Ash. However, s
Coco knew at once that Jane had set her up to humiliate her.Just then, she felt that the extras were ripping her costume. She couldn’t let this go on. Coco mustered up all her strength and kicked one of the extras in the groin.The man let go while howling in pain. Coco seized the opportunity to escape. Just as she got up and took a few steps, someone grabbed her hair and yanked her back.Coco felt like her scalp was being ripped off! She felt an excruciating pain. From the corners of her eye, she saw Loke standing just a few steps away from Ash!He had said that he would talk to Ash and stop her from doing this scene, but he was there watching the whole time. Coco fell to the ground, and the extras began to kick her hard as if they intended to break every bone in her body."Enough! Stop it! They're really kicking Coco, they’re not acting!" Minnie, who was standing a little further away, realized something was wrong and tried to rush forward to help her friend.Alas, she was stop
Coco was on the verge of fainting when she heard some shouting."Hey! Who are you guys?! The cameras are rolling. Please leave… What are you doing?!"The people who had been beating her and tearing off her clothes were gone, replaced by their groans.At that moment, someone lifted her up and gently said, "Ms. Souza, sorry for being late. I’ll take you to the hospital right away."Coco managed to open her eyes and saw a woman in her thirties. She looked smart and capable. "Who… are you?" Coco asked with difficulty."I'm—"Before the woman could introduce herself, Jane rushed over with her assistant, shouting, "Who are you?! Do you know we're filming here? Security! Chase them away!" Jane was furious as her plan that was about to succeed was ruined by these unexpected intruders. She wanted nothing more than to slap the woman.However, despite Jane's shouting, no security guards came. Instead, the men in black who were with the woman surrounded Jane and the extras who had beat up Coco.
It was well known that the Gomez Group owned the largest Studio City in Solaria. More than 70% of the entertainment industry’s film and television works were shot here. Banning these actors from Studio City was like killing their careers."It’s too much to do that!" "You don’t have the right to do that!" The actors who had joined Jane in the strike became anxious. They had participated in the strike to curry favor with Jane, believing the rumors about her strong connections. They thought that they might get some big roles by getting on her good side, but things had taken an unexpected turn."Why not? The Studio City belongs to the Gomez family," Macy's words silenced them.Then, she ignored them and instructed her men to carry Coco and take her to the hospital.Minnie was shocked. She thought that Coco was in deep trouble, but someone had come to rescue Coco. A whole group was here for her!She wondered why Macy had rescued Coco. Minnie’s mind was flooded with questions.After the
There was a police station near Studio City, and the police arrived very quickly. They brought Jane and the extras who had assaulted Coco back to the station.According to the extras, Jane was the mastermind behind this.Jane no longer looked elegant. She struggled like a mad woman and even tried to hit the police. "Do you know who I am?! How dare you touch me? You guys will be fired soon!" The police ignored her threats and forcibly subdued her, putting her in the patrol car.Once they were taken away, the film set was peaceful again. Ash and Stella exchanged knowing glances. They decided to take a break and figure out what to do next since they couldn't continue filming now. Loke felt complicated. He had only realized that the extras were assaulting Coco when Macy rescued her. Years ago, he had witnessed a similar scene and chosen to look away and escape.He was doing the same thing now. He had done nothing while Coco was being hurt. Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind. Co
Layla watched as Loke left in a hurry, and her expression darkened. She wondered if he was worried about Coco. She was mad that Coco was saved by the executive assistant of the Gomez Group’s CEO today. She couldn’t comprehend why the executive assistant of a major corporation cared about actors going on strike for a TV series. Many in the film crew were puzzled by this issue too except for Rowan, who seemed to understand something. He smiled knowingly. The company had insisted he join this adaptation because of Coco. "Rowan, why are you smiling?" Rowan’s assistant asked. "Some people overestimate themselves, and they’ll get nothing in the end," Rowan said. The assistant couldn’t get what Rowan meant. "Respect Coco from now on. Don’t get on her bad side," Rowan ordered. -While Loke was driving to Solaria Medical Center, his mind kept replaying what had happened to Coco just now. He was filled with both regret and relief.He regretted not helping Coco once again. He had thou
It now made sense to Loke why Macy had come to the film set today and saved Coco. Still, Loke wondered how Coco had ended up dating Lucas. They were from completely different worlds!Moreover, there wasn’t any affection for Coco in Lucas's gaze. Why would he be together with her?Loke was getting more curious about their relationship, and he continued reading Lucas’s information. He frowned when he was done reading. ‘As expected, Lucas doesn’t love Coco at all!’ After putting his phone away, he sped toward Solaria Medical Center.Coco had been taken to the emergency room. Fortunately, she only had some superficial wounds. There were no broken bones or concussions, but she still needed to be kept under observation for a day, and the doctor prescribed some medication for her. Macy instructed her men to get the medicine and handle Coco's admission procedures.Minnie was heartbroken when she arrived at the hospital and saw the bruises on Coco’s face. "Does it hurt?" Minnie asked and
“I’m here to visit Coco.” “She doesn’t need you here. Coco needs to rest now. Please leave!” Minnie tried to push Loke away, but she wasn’t strong enough. “Coco, I didn’t know that they were beating you up for real. I had no idea that you were in pain!” Loke said guiltily. "You don't have to apologize to me," Coco responded coldly. “You’re not responsible for my safety from the beginning” "But I—"“No buts…” Minnie cut him off. "Coco doesn't need your concern. She has her boyfriend to care for her. If you don't leave now, I’ll call the hospital security.” Loke retorted, “Boyfriend? Are you sure that he is Coco’s boyfriend?” He pushed Minnie aside and got near Coco's bedside. “Coco, do you know the identity of your boyfriend? How well do you understand him? You say you love him very much and you guys have a great relationship. But do you know that he is deeply in love with another woman? He could sacrifice his life for that woman. Rumor has it that he vowed to stay single for the
